Calcutta, India, May 15th, 1888.

blizzards In Dakota and New York, and
shall I confess it reluctantly admit India's
tropics! clime Is not so very bad after alt
even If the the thermometer doe register

Consistency may be a jewel, yet 1 do not
enjoy perpetual spring. and have been long

kmed leigh-rlde In the fine bracing air,
which sends the sluggish. blood bounding,
through the veins, the eyes grow bright
the cheeks fresh and rosy , then one feels
It Is good to live. Here we simply exist,
eight months out of twelve ; day after day,
the same glaring monotonous heat.the same
roasting, boiling, frying, (unless one con
stantly sits under the punkah.) and then
comes the stewing process, a the damp
heat is much more enervating and un
IsWtav than the dry heal. Now and Ihen,
from March until the mid lie of June,(when
the rainy season sets in,) the monotony is
broken by a north-wester, a fierce gale of
wind and dust, then thunder and lightening,
accompanied by a perfect down pour of
rain, the wind suddenly shifts about and
we have a furious war of the clement
which always gives one an uncomfortable
dread of cyclone, hurricanes and all man
ner of dreadful possibilities ; vet we wel

about so swiftly and suddenly as to almost
deprive one of breath. Between the mos

It is sir ply maddening to sit still and en
tertain callers when one is suffering from
prickly-heat and longing for relief in the
bath tub. Indeed, I think mo'aquitm and
rook are the only living creature that
really enjoy life in Calcutta during this
season of the year. The former attend
strictly to business with unabated xcal, all
the fanning, slapping, stamping and kick-
ng give 6nc only temporary relief. Naughty
oneseonfe they are tempted many times
to break the tldrd commandment. One is
compelled to steep under mosquito curtain
all the year npund. which 1 anything but

light wood which varies fom three to
twelve feet in length ; from the lower side
hangs kilting 01 ruffles of cloth, (any kind
or color one choose,)about eighteen inches
wide ; fiom the upper side of this board,
(which is painted, papered or decorated to
suit I tic taste of the owners,)are stout cords
attached to the ceiling ; then a stout cord
la secured near each end of the board,term-
inatlng in one near the wall, where it is
passed through a ho!e to theouUide.where
a coolie (called a punkah-walla) pulls this
cord, creating a most delightful breeae.
India without the punkah during the hot
season would be simply Intolerable. Night
punkah's are not very desirable for delicate
people. Invariably the punkah-walla goes
to sleep during the long, hot night, and
when the punkah stops one wakens to find
himself bathed In perspiration ; shouts of
"tono, tono," (pull, pull. sio not always have
the desired effect, then one must get out of
bed, dash water over the unconscious punkah-walla,

joys,) or hurl shoe at htm, or roase him

he pulls for dear life and one Is suddenly

Calcutta has settled down to its usual hot
weather inertness. With the departure of
Lord and Lady Dufferin for Simla, In the
Himalaya mountains, the gaieties ceased.
All who could do so.fled away to the" Hills,"
(at the different stations in the Himalay's
arc culled,) or to England. Just now, and
for a few weeks past, the Sikkim expedi
tion has been attracting public attention.
Sikkim is the smallest and least important
of the Himalayan states. but is now brought
before the publlc.by the recent action of the
Raja,and the party in Tibet, which has In
cited him to defy the Indian Government.
The Raja of Sikkim is of the Tibetan race,
and the ties of blood have been kept up by
the fact that the Raja possesses land and
houses in the Tibetan votlev, to which he
has been in the habit of making annual
visits. One can readily understand how
with the sympathy of a com mop. religion.
the Tibetan Lamas have been able to exert
a more profound influence over the Raja
than has the most skillful and successful of
English official. Backed by the secret
sympathy of the Raja, the Tlbetatans have
ecently been encroaching on Sikkim terri
tory, hence the dispatch of the present ex-
pedition,conisting of 1500 troops and four
(runs, who are to inflict chastisement on.
these Tibetans. They are discribed as a
bigoted, ignorant, priestly caste.with whom
the English have vainly sought to estab
lish friendly relatlons,for more than a hun
dred years. Sikkim has only about 1550
square miles, and a population of 7000 in
habitants. It is wedged i n between Nepaul
and Bhutan on the east and west,and Tibet
and Bengal on the north and south. It con
sists of a mass of mountainous spurs. In
manv places the hills have been complete-'
y denuded of forest to an elevation of
about 7000 feet, irf order to make room for
tea plantations and gardens. ,
Children Cry for
Kunchinjinga is In the northwest corner
of Sikkim and towers up 38, 1511 above the
sea, and is only 45 miles on an air line from
Darjceltng. The lowest pass in these moun
tains which separates Tibet from Sikkim is
the Jeiapta Pas, which Is only 11,000 feet
above the sea and Is passable all the year.
The district of Darjeelihg was purchased
from the Raja of Sikkim In 1835 and is now
one of the most beautiful and noted health
resorts In India ; a perfect paradise for
children. It is 460 miles north of Calcutta,
Is between seven awd eight thousand feet
above the level of the sea, commanding
some of the most sublimely beautiful
scenery in India ; said by many tourists to
be the grandest In Ihc world. From there
wc have a most magnificent view of lovely
imperial Kunchinjinga looming far ahom
numerous other snowy peaks ranging Tti
height from 14100 to 33,000 feet above the
sea. Kunchlnjinga.as every one knows, is
nest to the highest mountain In the world,
and in the early morning when the sun
beams touch with fingers of gold this sub
llmcly grand picture, one can only gaze in
bushed awe, drinking in the g'orious beau
ty of this charming panorama of snowy
range, mountain, hill, valley and rivcr.and
bow in mute "doration before the mighty
power and Infinite love and greatness of the
Creator. On a clear day .and from tlic high
est point of observation near Darjeciing,
one can only obtain an imperfect and un
satisfactory view (A Mount Everest, which
is in Nepaulibout eighty miles (on an air
line) dlstanl. It is 39joo feet hfgh,and the
view that Is obtained is nly of a small

hardy little ponic we sec in Darjeciing are
also brought from Tibet. All these thev
sell, and return laden with tobacco, brood-
cloth, piece good, and other things suited
lo their needs. During their stay in Dar
jceling they live In smali.light tents which
they carry with them. Polyandry is ea
tenslvely practiced by the Tibetans. The
young women would have rather fresh
complexions if they did not daub their
faces over with a preparation of gum re
sembling brown lacquer. The men are fine,
stalwart looking fellows, notwithstanding
the pig tali and a most liberal coating of
Ulrt. In the crowded, mixed bazaar on a
Sunday morning, the very dirtiest person
you can pick out,you may be snre.he or she
a Tibetan trader. This Darjeciing ba
aaar is a curious study on a Sunday morn-
ng, that being a holiday for the people em
ployed on the many plantations, and it is
taken advantage of for making purchases
In the bazaar ju the most choice goods sre
then displayed to the best advantage by en
terprising tradesmen. The native of dif
ferent tribes and caste from the adjacent
country bring their produce In on Saturday,
ind w ith the earliest peep of dawn on Sun
day the noise and confusion commence.
These people nearly all squat on the ground,
with their goods spread out on great mats
before them, ami a queer mixture one see,
said to be one of the most heterogeneous
collections ever exhibited in any market in
the world ; every variety of goods, horns,
tin whistles, praying wheels, China and
Tibetan crockery, armlet ornaments, tooth
brushes, feeding bottles, looking glasses,
quaint cups and saucers,plates of the most
antidiluvian desigund manufacture, pick
les, jams, sardines, oranges, shining brass
pots and platters, umbrelhu, needles, pins,
shoe strings.beautiful vases, urns, cups and
tea trays of oriental design and manufac
ture, precious stones, jewelry from many
different parts of 1 ndia,beautif nil y embroid
ered table spread,cushions, handkerchiefs
and baby robes, perfumeries, Mrs. Winslow's

moonstones,garnets,topax,etc.,thick, coarse
kind of striped woolen cloth, soft, siik
woven from the fiber produced by the pecu
liar worm which feeds on the caster oil
plant, lit tic native idols,and the long curved,
murderous looking knife called "kukeries,"
which the men wear stuck in their belts
1
many different varieties of vegctablcs.f rulls,
sheep, goats, pigs, fowls,cheap tea, tobacco,
grain of inferior quality and rice, which is
placed in great heaps on huge mats. Many
of the native women unfasten their babies
from their backs, where they carry them In
the ever useful bamboo basket, and deposit
them in these husre beans of rice for
amusement and safe keeping. It is need
ess to add wc suddenly lost our appetite
for rice and curry In Darjeciing. The con
fusion, the shouting, howling, chaffering,
singinjj, t',e Babel of tongues, bleating of
flocks, squalling chickens, with now and
then a chorus from the babies is something
terrific.
The cultivation and manufacture of tea
is the most important Industry in British
Sikkim. The Darjeciing tea is delicious ;
the Indian teas are clean and free from
adulteration.as thoy are prepared under the
careful supervision of good European tea
planters. Many people prefer U.e Indian
tea to that of China.
, The cultivation and manufacture of cin
chona is the next most important industry
in this district. From a small beginning
about twenty-five years ago, and some dis
couraging experiments, it has now devel
oped Into a successful enterprise. The fi
nancial results of the cinchona plantation
as proven by the tyjerrlng test of figures
have exceeded the wildest dreams of the
most enthusiastic advocate." Not only has
it proven a financial success,but It has been
very great blessing to the inhabitants by
putting an efficient febrifuge wHhin the
reach of the poorest native.
