CHATS, as they call the flights OF steps,
usually ornamented with colonnade
at the top. Here great numbers of
people are continually bathing and
washing their scanty garments, all
ages and both sexes mixed promiscu-
ously together. The Hindoo women
of the lower classes do great deal of
outdoor work. They mix lime and
carry bricks for the builders and bear
great loads of produce from the coun-
try on their heads. They never wear
shoes, but some of them paint their
feet SO as to resemble them. They all
wear great quantities of cheap jewel
ry-anklets, about as heavy as horse
shoes, bracelets, armlets, earrings.
and nose-rings, and rings on the tin
gers and on the toes. The raiment Is
of the thinnest, white, red, and yel-
low principally,-is gracefully folded
round the person and thrown over the
head. No Hindoo woman ever wears
hat or cap. The better class fe-
males, we suppose, are secluded in
the Zenanas. as we never saw any, al
though many closed carriages are to
be seen in the streets and drives,
which we suppose contained HIndoo
ladies.
Howrah Is a suburb of Calcutta, on
the other side of the river, and con-
tains many jute-mills and engineer
shops. We were told that the native
labor is fair in quality but very unre-
liable. When rice becomes cheap the
natives incline to idleness, and it is
noticeable that they usually have
a near relation i'll on such occasions
who must be visited. They can live
on SO little that they do not see the
necessity of working, and thus some
times machinery is kept idle for want
of workers, while the ordinary induce
ment of higher wages does not seem to
influence them. The low ideas of
comfort which the Indian people en-
tertain and the ease with which their
little wants can be supplied in ordinary
times are the main causes of the pow
erty of these people. They seem con-
tent to live on the verge Of starvation,
and to take no thought for the NOR
row, so when labor or food fails in the
slightest degree there is always large
fringe of ill-fed and weak humanity
which succumbs Immediately. Prog
ress is slow in the east, and these con-
ditions are not easily altered. Man,
in fact, follows here the Malthusian
uOCtElue tuat pOpulaIiou uaS u tSuOcu-
cy to increase beyond the limits of
subsistence, and as the old checks of
war. famine, and pestilence do not
now exert the power that they former
ly did, it becomes serious matter
how the Indian government is to pro-
vide for such an increasing popula.
ton. The main hope is in the ad-
vancement OF enlig ghtenment, and The
consequent desire for increasing com.
forts. which would stimulate exertion,
and thus subsistence would increase
faster than population. Happily there
are everywhere signs that the condi-
ton of the Indian people is improving.
Education is spreading, sad the In
dians are very apt scholars 1t ap-
pears to us, however, that technical
or industrial education was the great
want of India. Everything mechani-
cal is done in the clumsiest and most
wasteful manner by the natives, and
thus their time and resources are not
utilized as they might be. Such waste
always leads to poverty.
