Nook Him MT His word.

In the year of 1883 the forces Of King
Alfonso vi. attacked the MooS and
drove them out Of Madrid. In this
connection there is legend that the
Segovians. who were allies Of Alfonso,
had been checked by the SHOWS in the
mountain passes of Fuenfria and were
therefore late in oVertaking the main
body of the army, which had sat down
before Madrid, Sire" they inquired
of the king, where shall we campY'
Inside the city" returned Alfonso,
with sneer, being angry with them
because of their tardiness. They took
the king at his word, carried the walls
and the next morning the banner of
Segovia was floating from turret of
the gate of GuadalaJara.

THE TOWER OF SILENCE.


BOmD@Y>D 0FGVBOme cemetery UNA
Its Well Fed vultures-
The Tower Of Silence on top Of Nal
abar hill Is the prettiest spot in BON
bay. There Is a circle Of concrete walls
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 a little narrower and is
for the women; the inner circle, sur
rounding the pit, is narrowest Of the
three and Is for 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 vui
lures When q body Is borne in these
vultures swoop down, and In two
hours they have eaten It 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
vuitures sometimes become so large
and heavy they can hardly fly. They
allow no other birds near the place.
That is how the Parsees dispose Of
their dead

drawn sometimes by one, sometimes
by two or even three camels, accord
ing to their size. Iron bars which give
them a cagelike appearance were orig
inally intended as defense against
robbers, and the carts were probably
also used for the conveyance Of pris-
oners. 'sThe most picturesque proper
ty' of the PunJab government" says
John Lockwood Dipling, is a huge
char-a-banc to which is harnessed a
team of four or six fine camels with
leopard skin housings and gayly at
tired riders" Neither camel nor bull
lock carts commend themselves much
to the western traveller, but in out of
the way places the latter are often
found very useful.
