Title Of an Army Chapiain's sermon When
the Fort Was Full OF Marksmen.

been in the service long enough to

at Fort Wingate. is an extremely pcpu.

city sanctuary when in the chapel of a
frontier post. He must teach the
same theology. cxpound the same doc

in vessels of more attractive fashion

in the East.
DR.. Tully posts his church notices
on the traders door and touches them
in phrase that will pique the humor OF
the men while not offending the taste
of more critical o~nicialdom. Here is

THE TOWERS OF SILENCE.
The Gruesoms Places Where the Parsces
Dispose of Their Dead.

The Parsees, a peculiar sect living
10 Bombay, were formerly from Per-
sin. they are fire worshippers, and give
the bodies of their dead to be devoured
by vultures. Receptacles for this pur-
pose are built resembling round towers
about twenty-five feet in height. the
interior arranged in three separate
rows around the entire inside, varying
in size to receive the bodies OF men,
women and children. These towers
are roof ess, the edges of which are
continually covered with vultures and
birds of the air who feed on the bodies
OF the Parsee dead.
In Bombay these towers are oil the

American scientists waste too much

Especially Is this error common with
the inventors who. in their anxiety to
produce something big and complicated
neglect the practical walks of human

acquiring much wealth.
