THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA. GEORGIA. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8. 19Tff.'
CALCUTTA. India.—Calcutta is the
capital city of India. Here Lord Minto,
the present viceroy, has his winter resi
dence, and here are the most brilliant so
cial and political gatherings to be found
in the empire.
Calcutta is also the largest city in In
dia, having more than a million inhabi
tants; it has extensive commercial rela
tions with the countries of the Orient,
and With many of the cities of the west
ern world. Ships come to the port in
large numbers, bringing in merchandise
and carrying away exports of opium,
jute, rice, indigo, oilseeds, hides, salt
peter and silk.
Calcutta is 80 miles from the sea and
is situated on the banks of the Hooghly
river, which is one of the several mouths
of the Ganges. The river is dangerous
to navigate, partly on account of the
cyclones and partly on account of the
changing channels. The Calcutta pilots
are Important factors in the navigation
of the river, and they are said to be the
How to Cet Rid
of Catarrh
A Simple Safe, Reliable Way, and
it Costs Nothing to Try.
i
Those who suffer from catarrh know
its miseries. There is no need of this
suffering. You can get rid of it by a
simple, safe. Inexpensive, home treat
-1 ment discovered by Dr. Blosser, who
; for over 35 years, has been treating
catarrh successfully.
His treatment is unlike any other.
It is not a spray, douche, salve, cream,
or inhaler, but is a more direct and
thorough treatment than any of these.
It cleans out the head, nose, throat
and lungs so that you can again
breathe freely and sleep without that
i stopped-up fueling that all catarrh
I sufferers have. It heals the diseased
' mucous membranes and arrests the
i foul discharge, so that you will not
be constantly blowing your nose and
I spitting, and at the same time it does
1 not poison the system and ruin the
stomach, as internal medicines do.
If you want to test this treatment
without cost, send your address to
Dr J. W. Blosser, 51 Walton Street.
Atlanta. Ga., and he will send you
by return mall enough of the medicine
, to satisfy you that it is all he claims
for it as a remedy for catarrh, catarrh
al headaches, catarrhal deafness asth
ma, bronchitis, colds and all catarrh-xl
complications. He wf'i also send you
free an illustrated booklet. Write him
immediately.

WITH PROF. PARKS
best paid pilots tn the world. Annually
they are responsible for the safe passage
of 3,100 vessels with a tonnage of 6,500,000.
The big ship Cleveland was unable to
go up the river to the city, and anchored
at the Diamond harbor, 40 miles below;
but even here the captain grew uneasy
and at high tide he dropped back to the
sea. 80 miles from the city. Our party
i of tourists had to be transported back
to the vessel in two large tenders, or riv
er boats, and the trip from Calcutta re
quired almost an entire day. Along this
river in accordance with the religious
custom, the mothers of India used to
throw their young children to be devour
ed by crocodiles, until the practice was
made unlawful by the British govern
ment.
Calcutta is often called a “city of pal
aces.” The European section with its
pretentious architecture —its government
buildings, its churches, its residences, and
its business blocks—is indicative of
wealth and refinement. But near this
magnificent section are the small huts
of the natives. Because of this some one
has added that “while Calcutta is a city
of palaces in front, it is one of pig styes
in the rear.”
The government house, the home of
the viceroy, is a large white mansion sit
uated in an attractive garden of six or
seven acres. Near this is the Maidan.
The Maidan is a large level piece of
ground used for amusement and l recrea
tion. It is two miles long. Is in the
heart of the city and consists of more
than a thousand acres. It reminds one
of the commons In Boston and the park
extension in Savannah.
Along the Maidan late in the afternoon
' there is a splendid display of equippages.
Calcutta is a city of wealth and society,
and the people love to travel in style.
Ordinarily the finer carriages have two
coachmen seated in front and two out
riders behind, all being dressed in native
i clothes of beautiful and striking colors,
j When there is the race meeting, or
i when the viceroy is being visited by a
! number of native princes or maharajas,
the driveway along the Maidan is re
markable for its brilliant colors and its
f fashionable equippages. The maharajas
I are the biggest snobs on earth, and they
■ dearly love to make a striking display
I of their jewels, their tine clothes, and
l their gorgeously arrayed servants. The
native people of India are impressed by
' fine livery and gorgeous apparel, and so
i J the English ruling classes cater to their
11 weakness and make a great show. When
I one adds to this the natural propensity
I of the English, and when he considers
• I the peacock like vanity of the newly
, ; made rich, he can comprehend something
ii of the sights of the Maidan. There are
i! few cities where position and wealth and
! display count for so much as in the cap
| ital city of India.
There are many interesting sights in
i ' Calcutta, but after one has traveled foi
i .two weeks across India, he becomes weary
jin looking at temples, and burning ghats
and bazars and strange people, and begins
to long for a rest. He loves to sit around
the hotel and do nothing. In spite of this
feeling. I managed to put in a couple of
days sightseeing.
Among other interesting places, I went
to see two famous objects, of which near
ly every one has read—the Black Ho»e of
Calcutta and the Great Banyan Tree.
In 1756. Calcutta was captured by Suraj
ad-Danla, the nawab of Bengal. He
caused 146 white prisoners to be put in a
small pit or dungeon. This was only 22
feet long. 14 feet wide and 17 feet high.
There was but a small opening for air,
and of the 146 human beings forced in
the hole on the night of June 20, 1756, only
23 yere alive next morning. The place has
filled, but the location has been
carefully marked by an iron fence and a
cement covering. Save these marks noth
ing remains of this horrible pit.
Yet as long as people study the history
of Calcutta and of England, they will
read with a shudder of the terrible suf
fering of the unfortunate people who were
cruelly imprisoned in the small and stif
ling Black Hole of Calcutta.
The Great Banyan Tree is in the Royal
Botanical gardens, across the river and
several miles from the heart of the city.
The gardens were founded tn* 1786 and
contain 272 acres. There is a mile of river
fiontage; there are conservatories of
orchids and many rare and beautiful
plants; there are avenues of almond trees
und mahogany trees and palm trees, the
palm tree avenue being particularly im
ptessive. The superintendents of the gar
dens have been chosen not for political
reasons, but because of their scientific
knowledge of plants; it is very fortunate

that the various superintendents have
been celebrated botanists. Sir J. Hooker
in writing of these gardens said that
they "have contributed more useful and
orrfamental tropical plants to the public
and private gardens of the world than
any other establishment before or since.”
The Great Banyan Tree is a giant in the
vegetable kingdom. The main trunk is
about 50 feet in circumference. From the
branches shoots run down to the ground
and grow in the soil, forming new roots.
There are over 250 aerial roots of this
kind, some large and some small, some
near the trunk and some more than 100
feet away.
To walk among the many roots of this
one tree is like walking in a forest. It re
quired three and a half minutes for me
to walk around the big tree, the dis
tance being 365 yards, or more than one
fifth of a mile.
Under the shade of this tree would be
a fine place to hold a camp meeting, ex
cept that it would be difficult to find a
preacher with a voice big enough to reach
all sides.
Milton, in “Paradise Lost,” describes
such, a tree:
“The fig tree at this day to Indians known
In Malabor or Deccan, spreads her arms.
Branching so broad and long that on the
ground
The bended twigs take root, and daugh
ters grow
About the mother tree, a pillar'd shade.
High overarched and echoing walks be
tween.”
From a superficial view the Hindoos
at Calcutta seem more progress
ive. more intelligent, more businesslike,
and better dressed than the natives
other cities in India.
But even in Calcutta, the Hindoos as'A
class still hold to their rigid caste ex
tern and dress in native costumes. Th<*y
generally go bareheaded, and with bate
legs below the knees. The poor as F
other cities, wear but scant clothing. *
“The poor benighted Hindoo,
He does the best he Kindo.
He sticks to his caste
From first to last ,
And for pants—he makes his skindo.** f
Throughout India, and especially in C4M*
cutta, many natives speak and write veFy
good English. Sometimes they make fancy
errors though I am sure they write bet
ter English than most pf their crimes
could write in the native language of Cal
cutta. Let me quote a letter which wgs
written by a Hindoo:
He was in love with a young lady and
wrote to her father, asking for her hand,
as follows:
“My Dear Sir: It is with flattering pen
manship. that I write to have communi
cation with you about the prospective
condition of your damsel offspring. For
some remote time past, a secret passion
has been firing my bosom internally with
love to your daughter. I have navigated
every channel in the .magnitude of my
extensive jurisdiction to cruelly smother
the growing love ».not that is being
constructed in my within side. But the
humid lamp of affection still nourishes
my love-sickened heart. Hoping that you
will concordantly corroborate in espousing
ycur female projeny to my tender bosom
and thereby acquire me into your family
circle, I am, your dutiful son-in-law.”
