the dawn Of history that country has

tentate were number Of treasure
houses. one Of them containing three
rooms The largest Of these three
rooms was forty-eight feet long and
was filed with ornaments Of gold and
silver, plates and cups. washing bowls,
jugs and SO forth-all of precious met
ais. The other two rooms were full Of
bags and boxes Of gold mohurs aud
silver rupees The door Of this and
other treasure houses had been brickcI
