Cases Of Mistaken Identify.

Mistaken identity is fruitful theme
in the hands of the novelist, and here
are three cases from New York, which
may aid the production of the ever an
preaching American novel. A son iden-
titled body at the morgue as that of
his father, who, however, made his ap-
pearance after the coroner's inquest had
been held, and, as prisoner, was on the
eve of being tried for his taking off. In
another case the father of family was
met on the street by one of his children
while his supposed remains were await
ing burial at his residence. In the
courts another curious case came up the
other day. The accused was, fortunately,
able 10 prove he was not the criminal
but "some other fellow" and 80 saved
himself from the penitentiary,

A Tower Of Silence.

The Five Towers of Silence are GENE
teries in HindoOstan. They are far
more noted in India than the beautiful
"GreenwOod Of New York, or the
lovely Mount Auburn OF Boston, are
in this country. These Five Towers
are the burial places Of very peculiar
people, the Parsees, or Fire Worship
pers, a sect founded by prophet who
lived before the Moses OF our Bible.
They are of Persian descent, and are a
rich and prosperous class of people, even
il they do worship the sun and believe
that the earth represents God, and is too
sacred to be their last resting place.
There are FIVE Of these strange black
granite burial places just outside OF
Bombay. They are tall columns, twelve
III fifteen feet high and forty feet wide,
of solid stone, inclosing deep well. OF
course this leaves large stone platform
all around the mouth of the well. But
will let a traveller describe it for you.
Compartments, radiating like the
spokes Of a wheel from the well in the
middle, are arranged on this platform in
three rings or circles of open stone
collins. In the ouiermost circle are
placed the bodies Of men, in the middle
those of women, and in the inner and
smaller circle, nearest the well, those Of
children.
The parapet of each tower has an ex-
traordinary coping, formed, not of dead
tone, but of living vultures These
birds, on the occasion of my visit, had
settled themselves side by side in perfect
order, and in q complete circle around
the parapets of the towers, with theiI
heads pointing inwards; and so lazily
did they sit there, and so motionlesf
were they, that, except for their color,
they might have been carved out of the
stonework. Presently a sudden stiI
among the vultures made us raise ou1
heads. At least a hundred birds col.
lected round one of the towers began to
show symptoms of excitement, while
others swooped down from neighborinR
trees. The cause of this soon revealed
itself. A funeral was seen to be ap.
preaching.
You know that vultures live on the
flesh of the dead, and the wonderful in.
stinct which God has given them made
them aware of the near approach of that
ON which they love to feed. These terri
BILE birds had watched many funeral
come to that lonely spot.
All Parsees, as / have told you, are
buried in the Towers of Silence. Wher
Parsee dies the body is wrapped in &
white sheet, and carried by bearers
dressed in pure white garments, to the
garden, the friends following him al
some distance. The bearers then un
lock the door of one of the towers anC
lay the body, uncovered, in one of thu
open stone collins, and then the vulture!
swoop down. In about three weeks the
bearers return and remove the skeleton
to the well, where the bones find theil
last resting place. - Wide Atcake.

Aged One Hundred and Three.

The Media penn american of a re-
cent date says: "Mrs. Fanny Forty, of
West Hempfeld, Lancaster county, cele-
brated, on Saturday, her one hundred
and third anniversary. She was born
November II, 1774, near Columbia,
where she still resides. Her only sur
viving sister, now eighty-six years old,
resides in Ohio. Mrs. Forry's maiden
name was Seltz, her relatives of that
name being still an extensive family in
the neighborhood. She has been the
mother of seven children, of whom two
are still living; of her thirty-eight
grandchildren, twenty. seven are living,
and eleven dead of 149 great grand
children, 1913 are living, and twenty-six
dead and of sixteen great-great-g grand
children, fourteen are living and two
dead, her lineal descendants aggregating
2l0. Mrs. Forty has never been further
from home than Lancaster, and was
never on the cars in her life, though
numerous railroads run within short
distance of her residence. In personal
appearance Mrs. Forty is short of
stature, and weighs about ninety-seven
pounds; she moves around the house,
and even walks out to and about the
garden without assistance from any one.
She converses readily and fuently in
German, and delights to indulge in
"reminiscences of her youth. She recol-
lects clearly having seen Washington
and part of his army pass a school.
