'The areca nut, lime, and the in- 

 spissated juice of the catechu- 

 tree, w ith tile betel leaf, form an 

 agreeable stimulant, and a fa- 

 voiu'itc luxury of all who can af- 

 ford it. The Tambolis prepare 

 and sell it. The areea nutand the 



[ leaf o( the betel vine are mostly 

 brought from the lower pro- 



L vinces. 



(They make leather saddles and har- 

 I ness for horses, and pads for 

 \ camels, and line haudahs for 

 \ elephants. 



rThey only supply Mahomedans. 

 I The Hindu will not buy milk 

 (^ for fear of pollution. 



( They roast (or parch) and sell to 

 I the Chabina-farosh roasted or 

 \ parched wheat, millet, pease, In- 

 i dian corn, &c., and the latter class 

 ' sell it again retail. 



rSugiir, honey, fruits,, butter, and 

 various oils are mixed up with 

 the flour of rice, wheat, Indian 

 corn, or pease : this is the most 

 common composition of their 

 sweetmeats and cakes. 



(The paucity of theseartisans shews 

 the little use there is of house- 

 hold furniture in India ; we find 

 no cabinet-makers or uphols- 

 terers.* 



• Most English gentlemen have theirown private carpenters an4 turners, hired by the month, to make 

 tables, chairs, &c. for them. Bareilly is famous for the brilliant varnish of its chairs, boxes, &c.
