"STREET OF 1000 SNEEZES.”
That fantastic method of naming streets which is common in the Oi’ieiit might well bo applied to a certain Delhi thoroughfare where spices and peppers are pounded all day long. The street could approximately be called “The Street of a Thousand Sneezes,” for tho pedestrian passing that way is perforce called on to sneeze whether he will or no! Tho atmosphere of this street is always laden with pepper, which seems to have no effect whatever on those who are engaged in working among it, al’ though the passer-by finds himself not infrequently reduced to tears. The scene, however, especially in the evenings, when the Indian workers are returning to their homes, is one of considerable amusement, in which the iredestrian joins, insofar as his temporary distress enables him to do so!
