hips of their mothers never cry and never
have anything to cry about. The boys,
being as they are, not Christians, but
Hindooe, never want to be noisy, devilish
or cruel, end always go about their
games or errands gravely and silently

or a
doubtful
loss: quarrel over a bad eightpenny piece,
whioh ends in words. But the traders in
tho open shops never vociferate and never
madly advertise their goods, nor put up
rival statements of supernatural cheapness,.
nor struggle fiercely and perpetually one
with the other for the almighty dollar or
its Asiatic equivent. Placid and dignified
and self-contained, with the established
habits of 30 centuries, they squat alongside
their goods, not pushing their sale, seeing
that they will surely be - sked for when
" Allah wills" or" Purshuram pleases," and,
meantime, while calmly awaiting custom-
ers, they smoke the drowsily bubbling
hookah or leisurely balance their accounts
with a reed pen or upon the abacus.
There may be hundreds, nay thousands,
perambulating a long street like that of the
lively and famous Chandnichowk in Delhi
or the Morti Bagh in Poona, and yet withal
not more uproar orhubbab than in a retired
uook of Central Park at New York. No-
body is in a hurry, and for everybody alike
it is quite enough prosperity merely to live
under such a glad, bright, existence gilding
sun and amid so many sweet and pleasing
sights of surrounding nature. For nature
is everywhere around and among these Asia-
tic communities, not terrified out of contact
with business and big cities as with us and
you. In every corner the palm tree lifts its
stasely feathered head and singe a hymn
from its waving plumes to the cooling
breeze, the banana hangs her broad green
flags over the white House walls and win-
dow lattices. The Indian convolvuli, great
bells of blue and white, with the splendid
yellow lupias and the tender lilao and gold
sprays of the Bongainvillies adorn the very
meanest huts, and upon the roofs and ridge
poles thus beautified the animals take part
in the general city life. There will be as
likely as not monkeys sitting upon many e,
housetop. The four handed folk come in
from the jungles to squat upon the highest
tiles, all talltiug jungle gossip, to the diaper
agement, no doubt, of their bimauous and
busy kindred.
The little striped squirrels rim up and
down the doorposts of the grain seller's
shop, the sacred cow from the nearest tem-
ple wanders by its store of open corn and
pulse, putting her privileged muzzle into
the ricebags; the green parrots flash up and
down the midstreet with a lively clamor
and the great black bats—the flying foxes--
hang
oxes—hang in hundreds by their hooked logs from
the bare fig tree. You eau hear, amid the
full tide of the city's traffic, the "smash" of
the clothes being washed and beaten at the
tank, and the scream of the kites as they
circle round and round in the pale, clear
sky overhead. The noisiest elements in the
long, thronged, lively but noiseless street
will be the ekka rumbling along on two
ponderous wheels with some merchant's
family, its oxen and its red curtains all cov-
ered with bells which jingle not ummei-
cally, or some half -naked religious mendi-
cant blowing his big copper trumpet or
beating his cymbals for alms. Peace—
the sustained—philosophic, contemplative,
peace of Asia—broods over the people
and the place. Life has of itself be-
come a luxury in ceasing to be a task a
mill grind, a never-ending work and worry.
Air, if I could only transport some of
the nerve weary workers, men and women,
whose intelligent faces and kindly eyes I
see amid these many splendid cities of the
United States, worn with the fever of the
rush of daily affairs, to the quiet of my
Indian cities and fields, how quickly I could
give them back again la joie de vivre, that
lost calm and gladness of the healthy human
soul, which cures everything and is an earth-
ly side of the "peace that passeth under-
standing."
Prominent'among the the buildings of the
city are the Temples and the Palaces. These
simple Asiatics neither possess nor desire—
nor, Indeed, need—the countless large in-
stitutions which fill your cities with impos-
ing piles of architecture. They want no
town hall, because the tank, the temple
court and the market place serve very well
for all the purposes of such an edifice under
weather whieh never betrays. They want
no vast hotels, because everybody lodges
with his kinsfolk ; and they want no big
hospitals, because the governments looks to
that ; they need no insurance offices, banks,
asylums or manufactories, because they in-
sure good luck by giving the gods a cake or
two or some flowers ; they bank by melting
their spare silver into ornaments for wife
and children ; they take care of and tender-
ly protect their own imbeciles and indigent,
and they make everything needful with
their own fingers. But the temple will pro-
bably be gay, stately and beautiful, and the
palaces of the Maharajah will be objects of
pride and joy to the populace, and often
very sumptuous, indeed, outside as well as
inside.

Sir Edwin, Arnold Writes attic Glories or

This world we live in is becoming sadly
monotonous as it shrinks year by year to
smaller and smaller apparent dimensions
under the rapid, movement provided by
transcontinental trains and swift ocean
steamships.
Along with the ceaseless rusk of "civili-
zation" goal inevitably the ubiquitous even-

treating the ears, the nose, the lips and the

India is also a land where especially and
delightfully the increasing dreary sameness
of modern times and habit does not and
cannot penetrate, or else is lost sight of in
in the vastness and picturesqueness of these
entiquo Hindoo societies. As in the un-
touched portions of Japan, you find all over
tete Indian peninsula that the decrees of the
great goddess of fashion are unknown or
powerless. The people wear the beautiful
end seemly garment which their ancestors
wore 10,000 years ago, unaltered in seam or
selvage or shape, but allowing a perfectly
sndless range of individual choice for tints,

Hindoo princes. I invite you, readers, to
"come into the sun" for a space and realize
a little she peaceful glowing, varied and
picturesque daily life in and around the
royal homes of India.
How an Indian city itself and its every-

rose red, green and a.tnher--and the women
draw over their smooth, black brows and

Sjungle when he was starting forth to secure

len. Along the road, leading to the palace
front you may see several hunting leopards
lying.on their bedsteads lightly chained.
It is .tav rite s or
f o p t ot the prince and of
his fellow rulers to pursue the Black Ante-
lope with a. trained cheetah, and I have my-
self often witnessed that Strang and exciting
kind of bunting, The leopard is carried in
a condition of .sharp hunger to the open
deer country upon a peasant's bullock cart,
and when the antelopes are sighted the cart
is carefully driven in a circle nearer and
nearer to some fine buck with good long
horns, until the animal is brought within
reasonable distance. Then the hood is taken
from the beast, whose savage eyes roam
round and rouud the plain and soon fasten
upon the deer, by this time some 400 or
500yards away, and not by any means sus-
pecting what looks like a simple country
.cart with its rural people bent upon aerie
cultural pursuits. The leopard set free
slides down like a fish from his straw bed
on tete cart and worms his way unseen
though rooks and bushes until he has drawn
near enough in rear or flank of his victim
for a final rush, which he makesrlike a light-
ning flash, generally surprising and seizing
the paralyzed buck before it can gather it
self together for escape. If the deer man-
ages to get away the cheetah makes no
further attempt to follow it, but sulks in
the thicket end is very difficult to catch
again.
But if it succeeds in striking down its
prey, the hunters hurry up, and while
dragging the growling savage jaws away
front the bleeding haunch or neck of the
deer, they slip into the crimsoned mouth of
the brute a fresh cut joint of a goat or calf,
and the leopard thus deceived and paoified
is soon secured again and placed upon the
vehicle.
In the Rajah's grounds you will see these
royal cheetahs and the men who have
charge of the peacefully sleeping together
on the same " charpo," but all the swine
these beautiful hunting beasts are in their
evil moods fearfully ill-tempered and dan-
gerous- Further on we shall came anon a

some of them atoll lovely and shapely crea-
tures as are scarcely to. be seen elsewhere..
An Arab horse is an absolute luxury to
ride, its temper is saswe•et, its endurance so
great and its pace so pleasant, thanks to
the low, springy pasterns, which give elasti-
i�Y to its dancing n
.gait.
But let us now come away from Rajpoo-
time and go on the wings of fancy to a very
distriot—that of Bhaonagar, in the region of
Iattiawarr, another independent state,
where Taktaji Singh is the great and en-
lightened chief. It shall be evening, and
when the fireworks have all been finished,
to the boundless pleasure of the vast crowd
outside the gates of the palace, we will
enter and sit in the royal circle of the
Diwan-Khana watching a uautch or native
danee. It is a scene, this, very typical of
India, where no festival or great ceremony
is complete without the quite and compos-
ingpleasure of the dance. Not that furious,
gymnastic exercise ha which we westerns,
especially our feminine section, rejoice to
indulge, but the high and grave and distinct-
ly fine art of rythmieal movement, accom-
modated to the lightest and faintest notes
of the strange, wild music of cymbal and
sitar, and to a harmony and subtlety of line
and pace and waving limbs and robes to
which the best ballet in Paris, London or
New York offers but a coarse contrast.
The prince, wearing rich and costly jewels,
with a light evening coat of green satin, sits
cross legged, at the top of the hall, having
his guests and green officers beside him and
ranged along the walls. His gorgeously -
dressed attendants, standing behind the
royal cushion, are fanning the warm even-
ingair from his face or noiselessly bringing
rereshment or the fragrant pipe.
Then Zanbo, the Persian girl, or Radium
the Hindoo Nautchri,taking her pan.soopar,
(the betel nut) front her mouth, adjusts her
ample draperies, fastens the scarlet pome-
granite flower tighter in her hair, and rises
to her feet, while the drum and tamboora
begin "Taza-ba-taza" or "Jam -i -man."
Lowly does she salaam to the great person-
age, piously does she touch the silver bells

and solemn matter -with these people. And
then she softly becomes a living embodi-
ment of music and of the boesy of motion,

indulge in ; but the Ulwar Maharajah is too quant sway and wave at hand and foot and
well educated and enlightened for any great
taste toward this. He has abolished the
custom indeed.
Here is, neverless, the bygone "Bestia-

many and many a Combat of Jungle Gladi-
ators has been beforetimes bloodily waged

the great ladies themselves do most to keep

saw the points of the toes under the edge

curred. He was the old and trusted
friend of the Maharajah, and, the chief
queen being taken i11, he was sent for from
filly fighting their rebel brethren. I was
commissioned to ask the senior jomadar
what form of entertainment the men would
best like to accept from the ladies and gen-
tlemen of the station. Tho answer was a
" Naitch ;" and when we had hired the
most famous dancing girls of the district,
and had pitched great shamiana tents on
the plain, and had lain in plenty of betel -
nut to chew, they wanted no more. All
night long those veteran soldiers, fresh
from fierce and bloody battles, sat in large
rings of scores and hundreds under the
moonlight, wearing their fatigue dress of
white cotton and watching the dancera
while softly smoking the " pipe of peace.
