building;. Over the door within the gilded
portal Is the single word "India." The in?
terior is literally packed with interesting
tbinp>, many of them rarities that have
never before been seen outside t he land of
their manufacture, and nil of them so dis?
played as to present an artislro and pleas
ig general effect.
The ceiling is covered with handsome
carpets of elaborate designs,all of them
band made, und there is an astonishing va?
riety of other fabrics, including costly cash?
mere shawls, silk embroideries from the
Punjab and the famous Knmpoor ring
shawls, which are so fine and soft that one
1! yards wide am be drawn through an
ordinary finger ring. The wax printed
cloths have never been seen in this country
before. They are made by applying melted
wax to the cloth with a st ick in free baud
designs, nnd before the wax is dry pow?
dered mica is sifted over it.
The display of metal work is extremely

in the display. Tbc metal isu black alloy
of copper, lead nnd till, and the nrticlcs
are shaped with a lathe. The design,
generally mythological, is engraved upon it
and inlaid with silver, nnd the effect i- re?
markably rich.
Hare marbles and other stones nre here
too. All elaborately carved shrine of col?
ored marble in the central court is one of
the first things to attract attention. A
miniature reproduction in alabaster of the
famous Taj Mahal is exquisitely carved,
and I bi-re nre copies of others, less famous
perhaps, but very beautiful. Lapis lazuli,
jasper anil curnclinn are inlaid on ilu- mar?
ble tables, trays, boxes and plaques to I?
seen in the gallery, lind there are toils ga?

typed, cross legged attitude supposed to
represent contemplation, and Krishna seat?
ed on l beeilt wined litidirsof his milkmaids.
The legend relates that these maids became
enamored of Krishna when be visited earth
as a cowherd nnd insisted on transforming
themselves into a beast of burden for him.
Krishna seems to be. a general favorite,
and incidents of his career are illustrated
on many of the vases, bowls ami plaques so
lavishly st rewn around. (Janesba.tlie god of

it is hard to believe they do not breathe
