Parsee Funeral Ceremonies.

The funeral ceremonies of the Parsee
are most remarkable usage. High
up on the ridge of the Malabar hill,
Bombay--indeed, on one Of the high
est and finest peaks, where a splendid
panorama of Bombay lies at the feet
of the admiring spectator, like the Bay
of Naples from the summit of Posilip-
po--the Parsee community possesses a
beautiful garden full of palms and
flowers. In this cemetery stands the
six dokhmas, or towers of silence.
They are cylindrical, white towers,
from thirty to forty feet in diameter,
and about the same height. The in
side is divided, like an amphitheatre,
into three concentric circles, subdlvided
by radiating walls into a number Of
open chambers. Each of the divisions
hold body, those of children in the
centre, those of women in the second
circle, and men in the outer one. As
soon as the white robed servants of the
dead have receiyed the corpse which
the relatives have escorted to the ceme-
terry, they carry it, accompanied by
chanting priests, and place it in one of
the open graves, where they leave it.
Flocks of the sacred bird Ormuz-the
fine brown vulture-at once come
down from where they have been sit
ting on the neighboring Palmyra palms.
They fling themselves on the body in
side the roofless tower, and in few
minutes the whole of the flesh is de-
voured Numbers of black ravens
finish off the slender remains of their
meal. The bones are afterward col
lected in the centre of the tower.

cate.

be sure the little creature has either
been frightened or hanging in draught
and caught cold, or been over-feedipg.
A little magnesia in his drinking
water will probably remedy the evil.
If he has worse symptoms give two
drops of castor oil In pairing time 1t
is necessary TO watch closely If the
mate agrees with your bird, as cana
ries have been known to kill an intru-
der, and really have preferences. If
happily mated, there is much more
likelihood of rearing their young, and
they must have separate baths and
feeding cups in case of a quarrel, or the
weaker bird may be starved, for it is an
exploded idea that "birds in their lit
tie nests agree"
If the canary takes fit, the best
cure is to plunge him in cold water
Sweets are not natural food for birds
aud must be given sparingly, in fact
adhere as closely as possible to the
natural food, and keep the cage clean
washing occasionally with carbolic
soap to keep clear of vermin. - Rural

have less music, for ihe canary will be
taken up with the amusement of hop

ply pleanty of water for good, clean
splash every morning. A breakfast
saucer makes good bath tub. Paint
ed or brass wire cages are bad for ca
naries, as the verdegris from the latter
and paint from the former are sure to
be picked off and slowly poison the
bird. Let the food be as true to ma
ture as possible, ripe seed for the staple,
and now then bit of apple, hard boil
ed egg, or lump alternately of sugar
and rock salt Let the seed be put in
fresh, for the bird is like any other
Gagged creature (or uncaged, for that
matter) and does not like lis food after
il has been picked over. When moult-

little paint hideth many unsightly
places and gives appearance to build

the right eolors. Winter is a goot
season for painting, and the farmer
with small outlay for material can dc
the work cheaply in season when he
has leisure to do it, and with little
practice become an expert in the bust
ness. Outdoor painting can be done
in pleasant weather, and the paint will
last much longer than if applied in hot
summer weather. Inside work can be
done in days too cold and clustering to
work outside. The Journal of Che
mistry gives the following rules for
mixing simple pigments to produce
compound colors, which it vouches for
as reliable, The first named color is
