THE T0wERS OF SILENCE.-The prince OF
Wales and some of his suite we're allowed to
visit the famous "Towers of Silence near
Bombay, where the bodies Of the dead are
exposed TO be devoured by vultures. They
were the first Europeans who have ever been
permitted to enter the gloomy portals of
this strange place OF sepulture. The towers
are i've In number, are circular, and are so
well built that the oldest has stood for 200
years without requiring TO be repaired.
They are formed Of huge stone slabs we'll
cemepted together, and the largest cost
10000. III may be assumed that the four
other towers cost ON an average EGO, 900 each,
we should have q tenth of q million iu-
vested In these buildings alone. Add that
Sir Jamshidje gave 100, 900 square yards OF
land and betrayed the expenses OF the road,
and some idea may be formed Of the cost OF
the whole cemetery. They are under charge
OF the Parsee sect, who are noted for their
rigid exclusiveness, and it was something of
surprise TO the natives as well as foreign
ers that the permission was granted. The
origin of this singular disposal of the dead
is due, no doubt, to the veneration with
which the Parsees regard the elements Fire
is too pure to be polluted by committing
corpses to the flames; water 10 almost equally
generated, and so is the mother earth.
Hence this strange custom has been adopted,
by which IL is thought none OF the Impurities
can pollute the elements.

The widow Van Cott was greeted
by large congregation in the Metho-

Of Noah building the ark, and illustra.

culed him while he was at work. Per,

Colt, with sneerIng laugh, exclaimed
to an imaginary Nuah, "Ha ha ha
What fnl you are that ark will
never be Of any use to you. and you
will only have your labor for your
pains" "But," the widow added,
Noah did not care how much they
laughed at him. He had been told
by God to build the ark, and he kept
right on pounding away until the last
nail was driven in place. Then the
skies darkened. and fearful storm
came. There were deafening peals OF
thunder aud binding flashes Of light
ming"
Mrs. Van Cott averted her face aud
covered her eyes with her hand to
shield them from the vivid flashes.
She pictured the animals. birds, aud
creeping things going two by two into
the ark. Sal she, gazing upon an
imaginary menagerie procession in one
OF the aisles of the church There
they go. See them in pairs marching
toward Noahs great ship" Many Of

for the moment that the scene was a
real instead Of any imaginary one.
"The drowning of all the people

food" Mrs. Van Cott continued,
proved that Noah was right, and
that he was wise in building an ark
for safety. People laugh at christian.
for getting into the ark of SAFETY, but

will cease their laughter"

Round the world tourists crossing

arriving at the 1SOth degree of longi.
tude, drop day from their calender.
The returning ship adds day to its
reckoning. II happened to the Rev.
DIR. Field crossing this meridian on the
18th Of June, which fell on Sunday,
to enjoy two successive Sundays in
mid-ocean, one of which was the Sun
day of Asia, and the other that Of
America and Europe. The reverend
chronicler sadly records the fact that
many Of his fellow-voyagers, in their
perplexity as to which day ought to
be observed, failed to keep either day,
and so, instead Of gaining two Sun
days, lost the one which was theirs OF
right.

II SO happens that in every twenty
eight years the 4th of March. the day
fixed for the Inauguration of the
President, falls on Sunday. Thi-
occurs next year for the fourth time
in the history of our nation. and fol-
lowing the precedent established by
three sf his predecessors, the new
President will take his oath OF office
on Monday, the 5th of March. The
first Inauguration on the 9th Of
March, was that Of George Washing.
ton on entering upon his second term.
The next time the 4th Of March fell
on Sunday was in 1874, when Jsmes
Monroe was the President-elect for the
second time, and he. too. WAS inaugu-
rated on Monday, March 9th. The
third occurrence or this kind was in
ls49. when Zachary Taylor was inau-
gurated on Monday, the 9th of March.
After next year Inauguration-day will
not fall on Sunday again until 1905.

sfsck 20 a Legitimate swsimess.

Well directed energy and enterprise
are the life Of American progress; but
u there Is one lesson taught more
plainly than Others by the great fail
ures Of hate, it Is that safety lies in
sticking to a legitimate business.
No man manufacturer, trades. or
banker-has any moral right to be 50
energetic aud enterprising as TO take
from bis legitimate business the capi-
tai which it requires to meet any
emergency.
Apologies are sometimes made, for
frms Who have failed, by recurring To
the important experiments they have
aided, and the unnumbered fields of
enterprise where they have freely
scattered their money. We are told
that individual lo-ses sustained BY
these failures. will be as nothing cum.
pared with the benefits conferred on
the community by their liberality in
contributing to every public work.
There is little force in such reasoning.
A mans relations to a creditor are
vastly different from his relations to
what is called the public. The de-
mands IF the one are definite, the
claims Of the other are just what the
ambition OF the man may make them.
The histories Of honombly successful
business men unite to exalt the impor-
tance of sticking to a legitimate busi-
ness and it is most instructive to see
that, in the greater portion of the
failures, the real cause Of disaster was
the branching out beyond a legitimate
business, in the taking hold Of this
and that tempting offer, and, for the
sake of some great gain. venturing
where they did not know the ground,
and could not know the pitfall.

The Younger Brofhers Plead Gafi'v.
The trial of the Younger brothers
for the murder of Haywood, the
hernic cashier of the Norihfeld (Minn. }
Bank, was begun yesterday at Fair
bault, and terminated quite suddenly
and unexpectedly by the entering Of
a plea Of guilty by each of the three
prisoners. They were, therefore,
promptly sentenced to imprisonment
for lite in the peniientisry at Saltwater.
and thus is ended, it is to be hoped,
the eventual career Of three of the
most desperate villains tn ever went
unhung. Ii would have been crafty
ing to have seen the death penalty
inflicted in punishment of their crimes,
hut they have been overtaken by a
doom scarcely lees terrible and appall-
ing to men of thcir years-a life im-
prisonment which no Governor Of
Minnesota will ever dare to shorten BY
50 much as day.-[Cbicago Tribune.

There is a popular belief that ivy
growing upon a building renders il
damp and unhealthy, which is quite
unreasonable. In fact, If wall, par
ticularly north wall be damp, the
hest treatmert is 10 plant English ivies
al its base, for not only does the dense
foliage Of the plant keep out the rain.
but its srial roots absorb the moisture
already in the wall. The real mischief
by ivy is to old buildings OF stone or
brick, from whose joints the mortar
has been dislodged. An ivy-shoot
once lodged in one Of these erevices
will grow in bulk until in the course
Of years il has SO pressed the joints
