THE SILENT TOWERS.
Where Flocks of vultures and Raven:
Dwell Among the Dead.

Nherc f1OcKS OF anu Ravens
Dwell Among the Dead.
One of the most remarkable customs
of the Parsees is their method of dis
posing of the dead. On the rocky
crest of Malabar Hill, from whence
the admiring beholder looks down on
magnificent panorama of city, sea
and bay, the Parsees own a beautiful
plot of ground, which is ornamented
with lofty palms and Towering plants,
In this garden or cemetery stands the
Dakhma, or Tower of Silence"
The interior of this structure is
divided into three circular or concen-
trie chambers, each of which is in turn
divided into numerous smaller cham
bers The inner circle is for the
bodies of children, the next for the
women and the outer circle for the
men- When a corpse is brought to
the cemetery by the rel atives it is re-
ceixed by attendants, clad in white
robes, and, amid the chanting OF
priests, is placed in one of the COM
partments of the Dakhma-
Almost Immediately the ''holy birds
"
perched on the Palmyra palms in the
cemetery, swoop down into the open
tower, and in a few minutes devour
the flesh of the dead body. Swarms of
ravens follow and voraciously swallow
the remnants of this feast. Later the
bleached bones are gathered into a re-
ceptacle under the tower. To most
Europeans this is a horrible mode of
sepulture; but, as conating zoologist, l
confess l think the swift destruction of
a dead body by vigorous birds of prey
or by fire, as with the Hindus, more
aesthetic and poetiel than the slow,
wasting, worm-eating corruption of the
grase-a method that is just as revolt
ing as that of the Parsees. 1t is in OPP
position to sanitary laws, and is often
the source of disease-London It'd

MANY merchants who launched out in

rates of interest. Once, while talking
about project with an acquaintance

month. why do you borrow for so
short time?" Mr.. Cooper asked Be
cause the brokers will not negotiate
bills for longer" IF you wish.7' said
Mr.. Cooper, Il will discount your note
at that rate for three years." Are
you in earnest?' asked the weuld- be
borrower. Certainly am. [ will
discount your note for SO, 900 for three
years at that rate. Will you do it,"
.sOf course l WILL" said the merchant.
VERY WE'LL" said Mr.. Cooper, e.just
Sign this note for $4,000, payable in
three years, and give me your check
for $500, and the transaction will be
complete" but where is the money
for me?" asked the astonished mer-
chant. You don't get any money"
was the reply. your interest for
thirty-six months, at per centum per
month, amounts to 10S per centun. or
$40, 800; therefore, your check for $500

How to improve a Farm.

The best and shortest way to i'm
prove farm is to reduce the stock,
pillow your fallows in winter so that the
soil will be warm and dry and the sub
soil decomposed early in the spring.
Harrow well and then SOW ten Or
twelve quarts of grass seed to the
acre when you put in your oats. Ii all
take, your chance is good for obtaining
from five to ten acres of oats and a
field seeded down to grass. Then pre-
pare as many acres for rye-sowing,
provided your land is not good enough
for wheat, and the two crops will give
you all the straw you need and the
corn field, with usual good luck, will
produce enough to fatten stock. At the
end of the season you will have the
produce from fifteen or twenty acres
of land, represented in oats, corn and
potatoes, and as many acres sown with
rye and wheat. Keep just stock enough
to eat up the produce in grain and
hay, and after gathering your next
years crop of hay and grain. covering
say fifty acres of your farm of one
hundred acres, you may think of add
ing as many head of cattle as your
farm will sustain without purchasing
heavily of foreign supplies. By the
end of the fourth year you are ready
to put in a crop of wheat and save
blowing up your bottom meadow, you
have re-seeded your whole farm and
are now ready to enlarge your dairy
and at the end of ten years your land
ought to be in a condition to double
your crops and the number of your
cattle. This is rotation. Practical

AROUND LAKE CHEtAN,
a Beautiful Resort in the Wilds of WASH
ington Territory.


Lake Chelan is sixty-fve miles in
length. running into the Cascades and
navigable to the Pierce river, it's main
tributary. Pierce river is wild, tur-
bulent stream, heading in the mount
aims where the main tributaries of the
Skagit take their source, and being the
furthest west of any river emptying on
the Pacific slope. The country imme-
diately north of the head of Lake Che
Ian is open. comprising Il considerable
area of bottom land in the valley of
the Pierce river. Some of the finest
cottonwood and cedar timber may be
found in this section, and valuable dis
coveries of gold and silver quartz have
been made on the summit of the Cas-
cades, the dividing line between O1ano-
gan and Skagit counties. The lodges
were found two years ago by parties
from the Sound, who came in from the
Skagit river, but the same parties now
go in by the Chelan route, which is
more accessible. About seven or eight
claims have been opened up and the
assessment work done this season.

The wonderful glaciers of this COM
paratively unknown and untalked of
region will some day attract wide at
tention. During the warm weather it
is impossible to sleep in the neighbor-
hood of the glaciers, which extend
about ten miles east and west and
~,
south. Peaks of green ice forty to fifty
feet in height tower heavenward and
present a magnificent spectacle. Here
the Cascades reach their widest and
highest range, being seventy-fve
miles in breadth east and west
in what is known as the Saw
Tooth range. Our informant tells
us that beautiful shells resembling
oyster and clam shells are found on
the highest mountains, and that there
are solid banks of gravel forty to fifty
feet through in this glacier country.
The country throughout teens with
large and small game, and there are
no such trout streams on the continent.
In Lake Chelan there are four or five
varieties of trout, and splendid speci-
mems running from eighteen to twenty
four inches may be caught by the
score in few hours fishing. In the
near future, when a railroad has
crossed the Columbia at the mouth OF
the Ekanogan, Chelan and its neigh
boring glaciers will attract the atten-
ton Of the tourist world. and another
great resort will be added to the far
famed attractions of Washington Ter
ritory. Outlook.

A Definition of Piutocracy.

A plutecrat is man who, having
the possession OF capital. and having
the power of it at his disposal, uses it,
net industrially, but politically In
stead of employing laborers, he enlists
lobbyists. Instead of applying capt.
tai TO land, he operates upon the mar
ket by legislation, by artificial monop-
oily, by legislative privileges. He
creates jobs, and erects combinations,
which are half political and half in
dustril. He practices upon the in
dustrial vices. makes an engine of
venality. expends his ingenuity, not
on processes Of production. but on
knowledge of men," and on the tao
tics of the lobby. The modern indus
trial system gives him a magnificent
field, far more profitable one very
often than that of legitimate industry.

HOME AND FARM.

All breeding and young growing
stock should be fed very sparingly on
corn. A mixed Or variety of feed is
much the best for them.
Vegetables for winter use are bet
ter kept in boxes packed in damp moss
| or sawdust than in scattered heaps
over the floor.
Breakfast Sausage: Take one
! pound of sausage, one tablespoonful of
! pounded crackers and two well-beaten
eggs. Mix, and make into little cakes.
| Drop each in plate of pounded crack
ers. Fry brown.
An acre which will produce so
bushels of corn will yield about two
tons of corn-stalks, 25 pounds per day
of which will maintain 1,000-pound
steer in ordinary condition, and even
smaller ration of the fodder will do if
the animal is reasonably we'll shell
tered.
Pruning when dormant tends to
impart vigor, but if done when grow
ing or in leaf it checks growth, and
therefore a feeble tree should never be
=
spring. But healthy, strong growers
may be lightly pruned at either season.
Wherever sheep feed, new sweet
grasses flourish and weeds are de-
strOyed. For this reason farmers
should raise more of them, if for no
other. But there are several other
and equally good reasons why every
farm should have its flock of these USE
full animals.
-Spare-rib Pie: Cut small, tender
spare-rib in pieces, put in saucepan
with very little water, let simmer slow
ly. When done, season with pepper,
salt, and a very little minced onion
and parsley, and teacup of cream.
Line deep pan with plain short crust,
pour in the stew, cover with the crust
and bake brown.
Steamed Corn Bread: Four cup
fuls of corn meal, two cupfuls of sour
milk, the same of sweet, one egg, one
teaspoonful of salt, the same of sale
ratus, and one-half cupful of molasses.
Bake in three-plnt basin. 1t should
be steamed three hours, and baked
half an hour.-Farm and Fireside.
Plants kept in a moist atmosphere
will endure a much greater degree of
cold than those kept where the air is
perfectly dry. Plants grown in the
dark or imperfect light are feeble and
colorless from want of vitality. They
should be kept in the best light the
room affords, and turned around every
day to prevent their becoming one
sided. Never allow plants to remain
in a cold draught.
1t is very annoying to raise a flock
of pullets until they are nearly a year
old, and then, just at time when eggs
should be coming in, to have the pull
lets defer their duty as if they would
never begin. Such pullets are usually
as handsome as can be, in full health,
and should have been laying long ago.
The cause is due to a surplus of grain
food-overfeeding- they will usu-
ally be found fat A pullet may be
well fed from the time it was a chick,
but the food may be of a kind to pro-
mote fat and may be lacking in those
elements that hasten growth and ma
turity. The proper way to raise pull
lets is to feed food not Astounding in
starch. and to keep them in exercise as
much as possible.

ORIGIN OF MASONRY.
The Body from Which Originated All the
Lodges Now in Existence.

The Body from Which Originated All the
Lodges Now in Existence.
Upon the base of the Cleopatra
needle" which Egypt has given to
America, are certain mysterious char
acters which so closely resemble the
emblems of Freemasonry that pro-
digious stir has been caused among
Masons in this country as to the real
character of the inscriptions. If they
could be shown to be truly Masonic
they would establish the great antiq-
uity of the order which is SO boastful
of it's age and descent. Among Mason
ic scholars the widest differences of
opinion exist as to the age of the in
stitution, some dating it back to the
time of Solomon, or even remoter time,
and others ascribing its genesis to the
period since which comes within the
range of ancient history" Still.
there seems to be a prevalent opinion
that however ancient the institution
may have been, and whatever traces
of it can be discovered in remote
times, the Masonry of to-day is a re-
constructed and moderniZed system.
An eminent Masonic authority Colonel
Thomas Picton). who takes this view
of it, says that the origin OF modern
Masonry can be attributed to Lord
Bacon. In the New Atlantis" there
is description of Solomon and his
house, and it is there said that the
King set apart different days for pros
ecuting the arts and sciences The
New Atlantis was excessively popu-
lar among the learned men of Bacon's
day, and they tried to establish So
ciety, taking Solomon as an exponent
of wisdom. 1t was encouraged by
the court Of James l., and his sue
cessor, Charles l., until the revolution
broke out. Then the royalists, after the
death of Charles l., reorganized their
society for religious and political mo-
tives-the religion for the re-estabEsh-
ment of the church, the politics for the
restoration of the monarchy. Next
they invented what is called the legend
of the third degree. Hiram Abitf was
the murdered monarch. Hiram. the
King of Tyre. was the King of France
Solomon was the church. Hiran's
three assassiEs were the three king
doms: England, Scotland and Ireland
The Masons of that day, who were the
conspirators-tlleJ acobites-were nee
essarily secret society. They called
themselves, as the Masons of the Eu-
ropean continent do to the present day.
the Sons of the Widow, inasmuch as
the King had been behead ed and his
son had not been recognized. After
the restoration the leading men of the
movement formed the Royal So
ciety, which exists to the present |
day. and they openly continued the |
work of the house of Solomon. The
