The sizes are given in each case otherwise the proportions would be a dead letter. The Tobacco, if tobacco at all, that is smoked in these specimens is of the roughest description. [Illustration: RED WARE. INDIA] SCINDE. This is one of the Giants of the Red ware Race is India. 18 inches in height and is used in this north west Province as a Village welcome to travellers & is generally found in the _DAK Bungelow_. In some parts of India a native may be seen with his Public “Hookah” all alight ready for the passer-by to take a few whiffs—on paying a “consideration” for the privilege & refresher. The lower form was given to the writer by D^{r.} Watts it is used by the Hill Tribes of “_CHITTAGONG_”: & was brought over here for the Colonial Exhibition in _1886_. [Illustration: SCINDE HOOKAH Red Ware. Village welcome. CHITTAGONG.] MADRAS As we are now leaving the “HOOKAH” family & coming to the “_NARGHILES_” it will be well to emphasize the distinction between the two—which is this—“NARGHILE” is the native term for Cocoanut, hence all smoking mediums of that kind such as must be laid down & will not stand erect are called “NARGHILE”s especially of Cocoanut shape. All “Hookahs” stand by themselves. This bowl from _N. ARCOT MADRAS_ is made of a Bronzed Ware somewhat heavy but good form. The Five topped Chillum is only seen in the Bazaars not in general use.

This is a true, good & faithful representative of the “_NARGHILE_” Family, a real Cocoanut pipe, mounted in Silver with good native work. The shell has evidently been selected for its graceful shape. & the native artificer has done his work lovingly.. The “Chillums” beneath are of different material that on the left is of Silver & although Sir Walter Raleigh smoked a pipe of silver still in these days in Europe all metals are avoided for bowls. The Chillum on the right is from “_LUCKNOW_” perforated rim of glazed Pottery. Biscuit colour ground with green pattern & Ruby spots or Knobs. [Illustration: “NARGHILE.” INDORE.

As Pipes are made out of every conceivable material we cannot be surprised that where “Iade” has its habitat that there its services should be enlisted & utilized—& so it is: The “_Yarkand_” River has much Iade but to work it & bore it for a pipe must not only involve great care & consummate skill, but necessitate rarity of production The wooden & more humble confrere is much more general & very easily made anywhere. The Dark clay “chillum” belongs to a Gourd Pipe. [Illustration: JADE OF YARKAND BOKHARA. full size Pipes] YARKAND & BOKHARA.
