Parses sepulture.

The Guebers, Parsees, or Fire Worshipers.
as they are indiferently named, have ex:raor.
dinary funeral ceremonies, being almost II
not the only people known who fail, strictly
speaking, to bury their dead. The disciples
OF loroasier, and primarily Persians, they are
numerous in Western India, where they are
called Parsees, from the country in which
they originated. They recognize one omnip-
otent and invisible God, Ormuzd, and regard
the sun as his eye. Consequently they reyer-
ence it and ire as emblems Of the glory or
the Supreme Deity. The sacred FIRE which
zoroaster, as they claim, brought from heaven
is kept perpetually burning in consecrated
places, and fed frith the rarest wood and
choicest spices. Their temples are erected
over subterranean fires; one OF their sacred
cities being at Baku. in Russia, upon the
Caspian Sea, where for ages, without inter.
mission, flames have issued from calcareous
rocks. Such is their veneration for FIRE that
they never blow out light, believing that
their breath pollutes it; while their priests
pretend TO pass their entire time in prayer,
chanting hymns, burning incense, and tending
the flames upon sacred altars. ueution an
this to show how natural and consistent IL
would be for the Guebers to follow The old
habit Of ineremation. No one would imagine
that soul, from their point Of view, could be
more directly transmitted to Ormuzd than
when its feshy tenement was consumed By
FIRE. Instead Of adopting incremation, how
ever, their cemeteries are smoothly paved,
built IN circular form, and surrounded BY
high walls In the centre is pit, to which
the pavement slopes, and on this pavement
the corpses are laid, naked, to be devoured
by birds Of prey. When the flesh has oil been
eaten the bones are swept into the pit, and
after sufficient accumulation are removed BY
mbterranean passages. There are several
Parsee cemeteries in the vicinity Of Bombay,
and all the carnivorous birds of Western In

The odors Of all vegetable matters reside IA

plant or flower contains great or less amount
Of this principle, the separation Of which from
the parent substance is the initial movement
In ell the most important Of the perfumer's
operations. As it exists in but small prono,t
ton, we have in It when isolated remarkable
conc sntration Of odor, and its stability when
50 separated is so great that many varieties
can be kept for years unchanged. In she
otto we not only possess the fragrance Of The

to thousand bodies scentless IN themaelves
ottos are all IN the liquid form, are Of an
Only appearance, vary in color from light straw
to dark red or brown, and posses, as before
stated, the odor of the substances from which
they are derived. The yield Of this principle
from various materials ranges from six per
cent. or more down to very minute quantities.
Nutmegs, for instance, are very rich in otto,
lemon rinds contain It in such abundanee thar

while roses yield 50 little that but three tea
spoonfuls are obtained from a hundred pounds
of the petals.
The wellknown process Of distillation Is he
method most frequently employed to procure
these ottos. This process, as almost every
one knows, consists essentially in yaporizine
liquid in closed vessel, and conducting the
| yapor to receiver, in which il is condensed
by the application Of cold water When

Moslem Cemeteries.

II is cardinal article Of faith with all the
Mohammedans that tho corpse and the grave
are sacred, and the result is that, neither be-
ing disturbed, their cemeteries stretch over
vast tracts, often altogether disproportioned
to the cities or towns from which they are
nourished. Constantihople is surrounded by
immense grayeyards, suggesting to the mind
of a stranger that the principal business Of
Stamboul, as indeed Of all civilization, has
been for ages entirely of mortuary charac-
ter. They present a strange and extremely
gloomy appearance, their white marble col.
umns, surmounted by turbans, shimmering
like ghosts through aud above the groves of
Expresses that always mark the last repose of
the Moslem sleepers. The shape ofthe carved
turbans indicates the condition Of the dead.
The pillars marking the graves of women are
turbanless, those over the unmarried having
q sculptured rose at the top. The rose mon.
uments almost invariably denote young girls,

Beautiful Isle of the Sea.

The first thing which strikes one at Capri,
says letter in the London Saturday Rerieic,
is the amallness of the place. The whole is
land is only some four miles long and mile
aud a half across, and good halfof this space
is practically inaccessible. But it is just the
diminutive size of Capri which becomes one
Of its greatest charms. II would be hard in
fact to find any part of the world where so
much and such varied beauty is packed in SO
small space. The visitor who lands from
Naples or Sorrento mounts steeply up the
slopes of a grand amphitheatre, hanked on
either side by the cliffs Of st. Michael and
Anacapri, to the white line Of the village on
the central ridge with the strange Saracenic
domes of its church lifted wierdly against the
sky. Over the crest of this ridge a counter
valley falls as steeply to the south, till it
reaches plateau covered with the gray moss
of convent, and then plunges over crag and
cliff back again to the sea. To the east OF
these central valleys a steep rise of ground
ends in the ruins of the palace Of Tiberius and
the great headand which fronts the headland
Of Sorrento. Everywhere the forms of the
scenery are ON the largest and boldest scale.

THERE is no DEATH.
ny HrLvER lYrrox.

There is no death The stars 90 down
To rise upon some iairer shore
And bright in Heavens jewelled crown
They shine forevermore.
There is no death The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer showers
To golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no death The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away,
They only wait, through wintry hours,
The coming of the May.
There is no death An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them 'dead.'
He leaves our hearts all desolate,
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones
Made glad these scenes of sin and strife,
Sings now an everlasting song
Amid the tree of life.
And where he sees smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for taint and vice,
He bears it to that world of light,
To dwell in Paradise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave us but to come again;
With joy we welcome them-the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near US, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread
For all the boundless Universe
Is life-there is no dead.

A LAuGHIxo PIAxr.--A recently published
work on Central and Eastern Arabia gives an
account Of plant whose seeds produce effects
similar to those Of laughing gas. 1t is ma
tive of Arabia. A Adwarf variety at Oman at
tains to height Of from three to four feet,
with woody stems, wide-spreading branches,
and bright green foliage. Its flowers are
produced in clusters, and are ef bright vel.
low color. The seed pods are soft and woolly
in texture, and contain two or three black
seeds of the size and shape of French bean.
Their flavor is a little like that Of opium, and
their taste is sweet the odor from them pro.
duces sickening sensation and is slightly
offensive. These seeds contain the essential
property Of this extraordinary plant, and,
when pulverized and taken in small doses,
operate upon person in most peculiar
manner. He began to laugh loudly, bolster
ously then he sings, dances and cuts all
manner Of fantastic capers- Such extrava-
gance of gesture and manners was never
produced by any other kind Of dosing. The
effect continues about an hour, and the
patient is uproariously comical. When the
excitement ceases the exhausted exhibitor
falls into deep sleep, which continues for an
hour or more, and when he awakens he Is
utterly unconscious tina, any such demonstra.
tons have been enacted BY him. We usually
say that there is nothing new under the sun,
but this peculiar plant, recently discovered,
as II exercises the most extraordinary iniiu-
ence over the human brain, demands from
men Of science careful investigation.
