BOMBAY GREATCITY
Beautiful Metropolis Owes Much
to the Parsis.
UhthinkabIe Towers of Silence Still
Maintained in Heart of Most FASH
ionabIe Residential District
Population Now Million.

Bombay now has nearly 100000 in
habitants. At the beginning of the
nineteenth century it already had 300
900 and early in the twentieth century
the census takers counted 959,537
souls, Eleanor Franklin Egan writes in
the Saturday Evening Post. Nearly
| 100000 of these are Hindus and $780,
600 are MOhammedans, while less than
10000 are Christians, counting both
pure European and mixed blood.
There are about $4,000 Parsis, and
| the Parsis are the most interesting and
important element in the community.
It is to British initiative and example
and to Parsi appreciation intelligence
and generosity that Bombay owes the
fact of her present existence as one Of
the most beautiful cities in the world.
Yet the Parsis still maintain the I'M
thinkable towers of silence in the
heart and center of Bombay's most
fashionable residential district; the
towers of silence, where the Parsi dead
are disposed of by the forever hover
ing horrible flocks of kites, which on
occasion grow gorged and careless and
drop human flesh and little bones in
the Towering fragrant gardens of the
great on Malabar hill. But what would
you? The towers of silence are I'M
thinkable only to the Christian mind.
To the mind of the Parsi all other
methods of disposing of the dead are
unthinkable.
The Parsis are sometimes carelesSly
referred to as Persian Jews or are
grouped with Persian Jews, of whom
there are a good many in Bombay. But
the faith of the Parsis is not the jew
ish faith. They are Zoroastrians-
worshipers of the sun and fire as the
truest manifestations of the Almighty
and they came down from Persia in
to India about the middle of the sew"
enth century, when they began to be
grossly prosecuted by the MOhamme-
dan conquerors of the Sassanian em-
pire.
But they were prosecuted always by
the Mohammedan conquerors of India
and by the Hindus, until the happy
day arrived for all religions when
British power began to be predominant
in India. But Bombay was purely
British long before the rest Of India
was anything but a happy hunting
ground for English merchants, and the
Parsis along with other mistreated ele-
ments in the population flocked to the
sure shelter of the British flag. There
are only about 100000 Parsis in all
India today and 10000 of them belong
to the Bombay Presidency or province;
and at least 10000 of these live in the
city of Bombay.
Many of them are gentlemen of the
finest type and they are distinguish.
able by their long black coats and the
curious stiff black miterlike hats they
wear. Their homes are the most pre-
tentiOus in the city-palaces set along
side British palaces in the most fash
ionable districts; and they control
tremendous percentage Of the city's
commerce and trade.

1t is cheaper to christen our ships with
champagne. 1t is unthinkatle in the
present situation that beer should be
used on seventy FIVE ships on July f. 1t
would deprive the workmen of their Gus

Aruentina's Wealth in Furs.

There is no country in the world
except Argentina which has 10 differ
ent kinds Of fur-bearing animals, in
Guiding the otter and the chinchilla. If
there is no one in the country who can
compete with the European houses in
the manufacture of furs, the establish
ment of government fur markets,
where exporters could learn the true
value of their wares and receive a
price commensurate with their real
worth, would seem advisable.

Character Revealed by LAUGH.

The leopard cannot change his spots,

said to be as Characteristic of a per-
son as his nose or the color of his
eyes. No polish or educational veneer
can alter the laugh much in quality
and tone, although it may soften it.
Yet, even then, in an unguarded mo-

The Barre Times gives the following
report of the Fourth of July base ball
game at Montpelier :-The Montpelier
Athletic baseball team was defeated by
the Morrisville team Thursday afternoon
at Intercity park by a score of 9 to in
a loosely played game for the most part.
Montpelier had several other chances to
score but lost them thru poor base run
ing. On one occasion Hamel could have
scored had he slid to third instead of try
ing to get to base standing up. Cheney
was knocked out of the box in the sew
enth inning and Corporal Steltz, who
relieved him, allowed only a single hit in
the rest of the game. Errors were nu-
merous on the part of Montpelier, and
Morrisville seemed to be able to hit Che
ney's benders when men were on bases.
Silloway pitched nice game. Robert
jerome suffered sprained knee as a re-
suit of one spike catching in the home
plate.
