Lying on the Right Side.

When patient complains of q bad
taste In his mouth every morning on
waking up. says physician, the first
question ask him is us to the position
he assumes when going to sleep. An
immense number of people sleep on the
left side, and this is the most common
cause of the unpleasant taste which is
generally attributed to dyspepsia. If a
meal had been taken within two or
three hours of going to bed, to sleep on
the left side is to give the stomach a
task which it is difficult in the extreme
to perform. The student Of anatomy
knows that all food enters and leaves
the stomach on the right side, and
hence sleeping on the left side soon
after eating involves sort of pump
ing operation which is anything but
conducive to sound repose. The action
of the heart is also interfered with
considerably, and the lungs are unduly
compressed. 1t is probable that lying.
on the back is the most natural posi-
ton, but few men can rest easily so.
and hence 1t is best to cultivate the
habit Of sleeping on the right side. 1t
is very largely matter of habit, and
the sooner it is acquired the better.

The Tower of Silence on top of Nal

twenty-five feet high Inside this wall,
six feet from the top. is an inclined
floor of concrete, divided into three cir
cles and surrounding pit. The outer
circle Is widest and is for the men; the
second circle is little narrower and is
for the women; the inner circle, sur
rounding the pit, is narrowest of the
three and is Cor the children The cen.
ter pit is deep and filed in the bottom
with sand and charcoal. There are
five of these. When a Parsee dies he is
laid In one of these. No one ever sees
the inside but those who bear the bod
les in. and they do not look around, but
walk right out. Overhead and perched
on the tops of the walls are many vul-
lures. When a body is borne in these
vultures swoop down, and in two
hours they have eaten 1t clean Then
the bones are swept into the pit, and
the rain washes the circles clean, and
the bones in the pit crumble to dust
and the water drains off through the
sand and charcoal into the earth. The
vultures sometimes become SO large
and heavy they can hardly fly. They
allow no other birds near the place
