PILGRIMS BATRE IN THE GANGEs.
Believe They viii Be Healed of Disease.
Bathers Feed the Sacred Fish.

Believe They viii Be Healed of Disease.
Bathers Feed the Sacred Fish.
From the New York Mercury.
Hurdwar, one of the sacred cities of
Hindus lying on the banks of the Ganges,
is peopled with an ever shifting throng of
pilgrims, who come from all parts of In-
dia, some on foot, others by trains-so
prosiac has the world become-to battle
in the Chat, bend of the river, parti-
toned off by small iron bridge, fight
of stairs leading from the street to the
water. And there the pilgrims consign
to the sacred waters the bones or ashes
of their dead. The scene is curious, and
in its way pathetic.
The hale and the sick, the wealthy and
the poor, all crowd together into The
holy bath, or "Har-K i-Parki." Some
seek material, other spiritual, health; the
cripple hopes to throw away his crutch,
and the sinner sees Paradise in sight.
The sacred fish, which are so tame that
they often eat out of the pilgrims hands,
alone obtain tangible result from the
great pilgrimage, for none of those who
take part in it neglect to feed the in
mates of the sacred bath. Writing
Rama, or "God," on small piece of
paper the pious pilgrim places a number
of -four pills oyer the word and then
throws the whole in the sacred shoal.
Those who cannot take the pilgrimage
commission others to bring them the sa-
cred liquid. and lively trade in Ganges
water is done all the year round. From
the sacred cities to all parts of Central
India picturesque professions of water
carriers wend their way. Should they
travel by rail their burden would lose
it's properties; and so it is that the sa-
cred water, enclosed in tiny vessels
bound about with wicker, remains as yet
one of the few survivals CT old India
Standing among the pilgrims may be
seen the fakir or mendicant, dressed up
in all manners and shapes, with chains
round their waist and their hair
all matted with rope, and their bodies
covered with woodash and paint. On
the stairs leading to the Chat can also be
seen the sacred bull, with leg growing
out from his shoulder. The bazaar adj
joining the Chat is narrow, close
street, with cloth merchants and sweat
shops, etc., galore. During the Mela of
of 1893 the cholera broke out among the
pilgrims ard the commissioner tele-
graphed into Rookie for two companies
of the sappers and miners to be sent out
to help clear the city of them.
Sentries were lined up all along the
tholoughfares, and every one caught who
was not permanent resident of the place
was marched up to the railroad station
and put in pens. About 100,000 pilgrims
were thus disposed of in twenty-four
hours. On the one hand biers could be
seen going along with a cholera case,
and on the other pilgrims were clamoripg
to be allowed to go and have dip in the
Chat. When told that they would die if
they remained, they would say they had
better die than go without their bath.
