THE TOWER Cr See.

Bombay GreVTsnfne Cemetery ana
Its Well Fed Vultures.
The Tower of Silence on Top of Mai
abar hill is the prettiest spot in Bonn
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 a 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 CT 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 vul-
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
vultures 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. 80

WEED REMEDIES.

How to Use Wayside CROWNS to
Cure Various Ills.
Il Many of the plants that are popular
ly known today as "just common
weeds" were treasured by the ancients,
and even so recently as ''grandmoth-
ers day." for their medicinal proper
ties, says the Philadelphia Record. In
fact our grandparents believed implic-
lilly that in every locality might be
found the plants that would prove eff
fective for the diseases of that country.
The people of today are slowly awak-
ening to realization of the value of
these inexpensive home remedies,
many of which are sold by druggists
under a different name.
There Is frequent demand for a rem
edy for catarrh in the head. Much re-
lief may be obtained by using a nasal
douche, twice a day, of warm water
with little salt and sweet milk added.
Afterward snuff pure olive oil into the
nostrtls. The douche cleanses and the
oil heals. which may prove effective in
some cases, but weed remedy has
proved more effective. A bad case of
catarrh has been cured by smoking
mullen leaves. The smoke must be
forced through the nostrils; it has
tendency to heal and dry those pas
sages leading to the lungs. Mullen is
plant that grows wild in many states
and resembles the tobacco leaf in color,
shape and growth
The best of salve can be made from
the mullen blossoms. If the blossoms
are gathered and put into a bottle and
hung In the sun they will In time be-
come oil, which is very healing. They
may be fried In fresh butter and the
liquid strained into boxes ready for
use when cold.
May butter is best to use for
salves." said an elderly lady. No
doubt some readers may think this is
superstition, but after much thought
will agree with her. In May pastures
are generally of clover. dandelion. etc,
and these are said to contain excellent
medical properties. Glover tea and
salve made from the clover blossoms is
said to be an effective cancer cure.

Owing to the fact that The Chron.
icle went to press last week day
earlier than usual on account of
Lincoln's birthday being a legal
holiday, we gave scant notice of the
sudden demise of the estimable con-
sort of Governor Franklin Murphy
Her. death cast gloom over social
and religious circles in her Newark
home and caused the abandonment
of several functions in that city.
Janet Colwell Murphy was born
in New York in I847, the daughter
ter OF Israel Colwell, New York
merchant Her father dying, she
was taken, a child, to Newark by
her mother. and received her edu-
cation in the Newark public schools,
afterward serving as teacher. She
was married to Governor Murphy
late in 1867. She was an active
member of st Paul's NJ. f. Church,
Newark, and was much interested
in church society work She was
also Daughter of the American
Revolution, her American ancestry
going back to the days of " Hard
koppig Piet,' the last Dutch gov
ernor of New Amsterdam.

This statement was made by Sena-
tor Hanna as he rode from the
capitol to his hotel after his last
day in the Senate. His companion
was Senator Kean, of New Jersey,
and the Ohio statesman. was speak
ing of his support of President
Roosevelt, to whom he declared he
had always been absolutely loyal.
Senator Hanna had always prided
himself on being man of his word
had won an enviable reputation IN
that regard, and it touched him to
the quick that, after he had de
clared that he was not candidate
for the presidency and that he was
for President Roosevelt, any one
should attempt to make it appear
that he was guilty of double dealing.

1t is the purpose Of the Morri:
County Agricultural Society to hold
a continued meeting" tomorrow
in the County Hall to further air
itself concerning the Mt. Freedom
road
At its previous meeting this so
ciety acted neither fairly nor honor
ably. It's members made insinu-
atoms they did not prove and
performed in manner contrary to
a we'll governed organization.
Many of the speeches made were
mere vaporing and vagaries. In
no instance did the society confiue
its discussion to the Mt. Freedom
road but attacked the character of
the county officers and used Sian
derous terms such as graft" and
rake off.
SO far as can be learned the mac
adamizing of the Mt. Freedom road
by the Board of Freeholders is for
the public benefit. 1t could no
have been done had the property
holders along the road objected.
They filed a petition which was
approved by the Board and subse-
quently by the State Commissioner
OF Public Roads. So far as the heavy
cuts and fills are concerned they resi-
entirely with the State Supervisor
of Roads and cannot honestly be
charged against the Board of Free
holders. 1t can be truthfully said
however that the Freeholders are
to build good road,
throughout the county, and this
should receive the approval o.
every farmer who is a taxpayer
1t is right that the Agricultural
should be interested in tbs
welfare of the county, but it should
exercise some Judgment. and not
jump blindly at conclusions 1t is
to be hoped that the meeting to
morrow will be conducted with de
corum.

the Chemulpho affair.

What favorite State Office the
editor of the Sussex Hearld is
after, is not altogether apparent
from his ludircous laudations of
the marvellous abilities of Senator
Lew" Martin. But it is clearly
discernable that something" is
ranking in the EDITORS bosom.
He is backed by practically the
whole Legislature saws the
Herald, he has the support of a
host Of leading men of the State
of both political parties, and head
and shoulders above this he has the
ability to fill it to the honor of the
Governor of the State" Wonder
if Senator Martin suffers with the
same delusion?

Lying ON the. night side.


When a patient complains of a bad
taste in his mouth every morning on
waking up, says a physician, the first
question 1 ask him Is as 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 q
meal had been taken within two or
three hours Of going to bed, to sleep on
the left side is to give the stomach =
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 a 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 it is best to cultivate the
habit of sleeping on the right side. 1t
is very largely matter Of habit, and
the sooner 1t Is acquired the better.

The free lance. (Fredericksburg, Va.) 1885-1926, 1904-04-23

Burke Cochran the other day
made a speech on the lowering
of the lower house OF Congress.
The Washington Post, further dis
cussing the subject, gives as one rea-
son, the enlargement OF the number
OF members, but above that is the
change OF the rules governing the
body. The rules we're framed to sup
press filibustering, but it Is doubtful
II more was not lost than gained by
it. The Post says before the Reed
rules, so called, went into effect there
were glorious struggles on the floor
OF the House-struggles In which in
dividual character was developed and
principles emphasized as they are not
and cannot be at the present time.
1t would be worse than useless now
in the House to undertake contest.
Consequently, the Senate has become
the great battle ground, where all
the issues OF political campaigns are
determined.

DISTRIBUTION OF IMMIGRATION

The matter of properly distributing |
the large influx of foreign immigra-
ton to this country, that would ben
eft the emigrants and different Sec
tions OF the country, has been lor
some time discussed, and the public
attention is more and more called to
it. The foreign immigration to this
country annually is upwards oil one
million OF souls, and a large MAORI
ty OF them are laborers. Ii these
laborers were properly distributed
those sections oi the country mostly
needing laborers would receive their
share. which would add materially to
those sections, and the emigrants
would not be packed into districts
where they are rot needed and where
they are liable to come to want ana
prove a burden instead of n help to
the country.
The Omaha Bee in discussing this
subject says that the Commissioner
General OF Immigration, Mr.. Sargent
/ is an earnest advocate OF some meth-
cd that will secure better distribu-
ton of immigrants and in this he
will have general public support. IN
a recent address he urged that steps
he taken to induce aliens to go into
the country, instead OF settling, as
many OF them now do, in the great
cities. where conditions are not iav-
orable to their physical or moral
well.being. He thought that the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor,
through the Bureau OF Immigration
should furnish information to all de-
sirable aliens as to the best localities
for means of earning a livelihood,
either as settlers, tradesmen or In
borers. such information to be 90
tanned from the states and territories
which need immigration.
We have already referred approx
ingly to a bill providing for this III
formation which has beenintroduced
in Congress and We can see noreason
WHY such measure should meet
with any objection or opPosltlon'
What it proposes would certainly De
OF great benefit TO immigrants, the
great majority OF whom know moth
ing about the country, or so little as
to be of no value TO them. and II
would be- good thing for those sec
tions that can offer opportunities To
desirable aliens. In the South ard
West there are chances for the indus
trious and thrifty which do not exist
I in the great cities, except for the very
few who are skilled in some trade.
The Bee thinks the proposition has
everything to commend it and should
be adopted.
