of your youthful years; neither did your
fathers forget the home of their ances.
tors; nay, even their forefathers, though
coming perhaps over leagues of watery
waste and Drawing the fury of ocean
storms, forgot not the customs and the
dwelling place. the lights and joys, of
the land which gave them birth.
So In all migrations, whether Of in
dividuals or of masses. there come
with each and all the traditions, the

meant so much and which he knew would
be sscredly kept and priced. We could
little estimate the value of these things
now, but in hundreds of years
to come, this historic cane and
the other relics of the County Old

value to future generations. Mr. Morgan
spoke of the Importance of the Old Set

had done to make names that would
live long after they had passed away.

A MODEL TOWER OF SILENCE.-The Ber-
lin Anthropologioal Museum has just re-
ceiyed present of very valuable and in.
teresting nature through the generosity OF a
Persian banker, Sir Jamsadji Jijibhai,
model of one of the towers of silence" in
which the Paraees bury their dead. Ac-
cording TO the religion OF the Zoroastrians
the three sacred elements, fire, earth, and
water, are not allowed to be desecrsted by
dead bodies, which. accordingly, are given
TO birds Of prey For this purpose high
round towers are built OH the hills, which
have circumference of 800 feet. At the
TOD OF the tower ia platform slopipg toward
the centre, where cistefn $50 feet deep is
placed. The platfo'm is divided into three
equal parts set apart for the bodies of men,
women and children. AS soon as the naked
corpses have been placed focks of vultures,
which are always lowering round, begin
their CHASTITY meal, and before long only the
bare bones are left These are swept into
the cistern by means of water, with which
the platform is flushed, and after the bones
are dissolved in the cistern the water passes
through four subterranesn canals and is then
disinfected By means of a filter.-Pa1 Mott
