dred yards up a steep road, l came to
the top of the hill, in the midst of the
grove. The grounds were beautiful.
Money had been spent freely in making
them attractive. l walked toward the
towers, but was stopped by an attendant
70 yards away. There were several tow
ers, circular in shape, about 10 feet high
and open at the top. The largest tower
was 276 feet around and cost $150, 900.
Roasting on the tops of the towers were
the hideous birds.
The attendant explained the funeral
customs to me-. Eulogies are pronounced
at the residences of the deceased. In
stead of being placed in coffin, the body
is covered with fine clothes and rich
shawls and is carried to Malabor Hill.
The priests take the body to the Towers
of Silence. remove all clothing. and leave
it exposed inside one of the towers The
awful birds swoop down and in half an
hour only the bones remain. Later the
bones fall into a central pit where they
decay. Such is the brief description of
the solemn and shocking custom of the
Parsees
Sometimes the vultures fight, and once
a flying vulture dropped the finger of a
dead man into the carriage of an aston
ished and horrified English woman. Once
an army officer picked up the hand of a
woman. whose body had been exposed
only a few hours before.
Leaving the Towers of Silence, 1 drove
back toward the city and stopped at the
residence OF a millionaire Parsee, who
had invited several hundred Americans
to visit his home. Fountains, marble
statues. trees and flowers adorned the
lawn and grove in front of large and
beautiful mansion Inside were a large
parlor, drawing room and reception room,
adorned with paintings. sculptures, rich
carpets, handsome mirrors and elegant
furniture. In the library were several
thousand books in English, including the
works of Macauley. Ruskin, Dickens,
Thackeray, Scott, Mark Twain and Ralph
Waldo Emerson on the library walls
were marble busts of Napoleon, Emerson
and Thackeray.
Here. indeed, was a home of refine
ment. elegance and great wealth and it
was the home of a Parsee.

They are Industrious. prosperous and

They are the richest people in India.

Their religion is peculiar. Some partial
critic has declared that 1T is the most
sublime expression OF religious parity and
thought except the teachings of Christ"
but certainly they have some strange
customs and beliefs.
They are followers of Zoroaster. The
Avesta is their sacred book, containing
the part OF sacred writings which escaped
burning when Alexander the Great in
vaded Persia three centuries before
Christ. The Parsees claim to worship
one God. but they adore elements-ire,
air. earth, water. They do not bury
their dead. because they do not wish
the dead bodies to pollute the earth. They
do not burn their dead, as they cannot
allow the fire TO be polluted. Therefore
they expose in towers the bodies OF their
dead. stripped of all clothing, and leave
them to be devoured by hungry vultures.

LONDON. Jan. 1S.-Completed returns
from yesterdays elections for members
of parliament, make the standing of
the parties to date as follows:
Government Coalition-Liberals, 70; La
borites, II; Irish Nationalist, 16.
Observation-Disclosures, SO.
Net Unionist gain, 30.
The radical coalition fought more on
the defensive today than heretofore, as
of the 46 seats for which polling was In
progress, they held all but ten in the last
parliament.
The front bench politicians, whose fates
will be decided today were Winston Spen-
Ger Churchill, for Dundee; Sydney c..
Buxton, for the Poplar division of Tower
hamlets; Walter Runierman, for Deweys-
bury; Sir William Snowden Robson, for
South Shields, Liberals, and Alfred Lyt-
tleton, for st. Georges, Hanover square,
the former Conservative minister. All of
these appeared certain of reelection.
The representation for Dermondsey,
where humphreys scored a sensational
Unionist victory in the bye-election Of
October, also was in the melting pot, and
as humphreys this time met an undivid-
