daughters is also displayed in their every
day solicitude for the health of the young
sters. He who lets his children be weak
lings is a weakling in his love-" is a rough
translation of a Chinese proverb.
In their efforts to keep their children
strong and healthy the parents of Chinese
colonies, notably those in New York and
other Eastern cities, have set a play-hour
for the little ones. AS a result, long before
white boys and girls are beginning to rub
yellow boys and girls of Chinatown are
romping up and down the, streets in all the
abandon of happy childhood. This very
early play-hour-in summer it is 4:30 o'clock
the streets to be clean and free of vehicles
when their offspring romp; and at such an
hour no white devil with a little black box
is likely TO be slipping about in an en-
deavor to~point the eye of the box at the
children.

running and lots Of it, and that In time
means healthy boys and girls.
''Saunka' is a fascinating game TO a
yellow boy or girl. First a little girl is
chosen and stood I'm the center of the street.
Then four boys are stationed around her
as her guards or oflcers-two in front
and two behind. Next, the remaining chill
dren divide equally into two bodies. and
each lines up opposite the other on the
curb. After all are in their places, the
scorekeeper, usually an older person, claps
his hands or says ''go" in Chinese, and
the head of one column runs in a straight
line toward the little girl, who is called
queen, in the center of the street. He tries
hard to touch the queen, and maybe he
does, but more likely the officers who face
him shove him out of reach OF the queen.
They do not use their hands, but their
bodies to do this.
Next, the head of the opposing column
tries to do the same thing, and the two
officers facing him likewise endeavor to
keep him from accomplishing his object.
So it goes down the line, everybody taking
his turn at trying to touch the queen.
Twenty touches are usually tried for.
AT the end of that time the scorekeeper
announces which side has the most touches,
and then the victors bear off the little girl
to be their queen. AS many as fifty chill
dren often take part in the game, but no

he set to work and shaved down root after
root, and then, when he had the right
quantity, he made a bath of IT. Into this
he placed the wasted little body Of his
son, and after the prescribed length of time
put the child on its bed again. This treat
ment the father kept up for two weeks,
and after each bath the child seemed to
take a firmer grip on life. Then one day
the native doctors were called in.
Wonderful" they exclaimed. 1.-THE boy
is all but well again"
To-day the boy is running around the
streets of New York's Chinese colony as
healthy and robust as any boy can be. But
not one Of the many white customers of the
fathers tea store know how the cure was
made possible by PARENTAL love. They only
know that he was c%ured-the father shows
them an inscrutable countenance when they
speak of the lads remarkable recovery.
THE SACRIFICE OF A MOTHER.
The doctors at a certain hospital in New
York can also give testimony concerning
parental love among the Chinese.
Some few months ago a boy from Mott
street, LII Long How by name, went up
town to visit a cousin who runs a laundry.
While there he accidentally backed up
against a red-hot stove, and before he
could move his back was badly burned.
The boy was taken to the hospital,
where, despite all that could be done, the
burns would not heal and the child's life
was despaired of.
"The only thing that will save him."
the doctors told his father, lis skin graft

After the Chinaman had grasped what
skin grating meant, he put a hand to his
throat, and the next moment was stand
ing naked to the waist before the doctors.
Take the skin OFF there" he said sim
ply. pointing 10 mis- own back. And the
mother, who was present quietly made a
similar offer.
The next day nine square inches of skin
were removed from the woman and eleven
inches from the man, and neither would
allow cocaine to be used to deaden the
pain.

Ask the average missionary in the Chi

mingled establishment and sadness:
MY dear brother, these people come

How can they love their children?"
But despite the fact that he works

not i'm the habit of taking a white preacher
into his confidence. Both the missionary
and the layman must judge the Chinaman

York's Chinatown for its hero.
GREATER LOVE HATE NO MAN"
This particular merchant came from
China some twenty years ago. From the
day he started In ironing shirts prosperity
followed him. and soon he was able TO set
UP as a merchant in Mott street. Then. as
time went along and his savings grew. he
began looking around for a wife. He found
her In the belle Of the colony. and soon
thereafter the street was merry with the
wedding festivities.
For-aveayears the merchant and his wife
were childiess, and then one morning,

lay i'll with spinal complaint. And as they
gathered the roots his father told him
that those same roots had been used in the
family for generations and had never failed
TO cure the trouble. He had been a mere
boy at the time-the years had all but
obliterated the incident from his memory.
But now it had all come back to him, and
the father took fresh hope. He went into
the room where the child lay, gradually
dying.
Light Of my eye." he said, II am going
far away to get a wonderful root that will
make you well again"
Then he committed the boy to an aunt's
care, and a few days later, when he had
received his return papers, he was speed
ing across the continent for China.
In four months he was back in New
York. In the meantime he had gone to
Canton, spent days in a river boat. then
Travelled on foot many miles until the field
where the wonderful root grew was
reached. He brought back great bundles
Of the herb and a certain kind of ginseng to
his boy after the other root had accom-
plished its purpose.

a little over a year ago, when the boy
had reached his sixth year, there suddenly
overlook him what his father had offered
up many a prayer in the Joss House to
avert-a spinal disease that was hereditary
on the fathers side.
Chinese doctors were called in, one after
another. They could bring no relief. Then,
although he was a good Buddhist, the
father turned to American physicians, but
they, too, shook their heads "Your son
will not live the year out" they said.
The merchant was beside himself with
grief. Money he had a-plenty, but only
one son-and the boy was all the more
precious to him because the mother had
died while giving him life. How to save
the child was the one thought that ran
through his mind.
At last there flashed to his memory a
day when, far up in the interior of China
far away from his home in Canton-he
stood with his father in a great rich black
field at the foot of a towering mountain.
His father had taken him there that they
might gather certain roots with which to

TRICKS OF YELLOW CHILDREN.
But while ''saunka'' is similar in many
respects to not a few running games OF
American children, the Chinese boys and
girls at play differ from Yankee young
sters In that they do not carry tsasings
TO the point OF making any one feel hurt
or cry. Indeed, the little yellow rompers
often maintain an amusing dignity through
it all. The most a boy does in the way or
devilment is TO sneak up behind a girl and
tickle her on an ear, or get of another
boys slipper and make him run barefooted
after it, or seat himself on the curb and
call 10 a fellow playmate:
