rope 1t has been a region of culture
from the earliest age, where traces or
the pure religion of Zerdusht which
he brought among the nations from
Mount Albordi. may still be recog-
nized.
The people who inhabit the southern
side of the great ridge of hills have
always displayed greater inventive
power and greater constancy in pre-
serving their institutions than the
tribes who dwell to #he northward.
The former they owe to the ease and
leisure afforded them b5ta-a- most pro-
pitious climate and by their settled
habits, not being prompted by a rest
less spirit to migratory life.
The remains of the ancient Persian
capital, Persepo1is, as well as the
Egyptian, Thebes, and the ruins on the
higher peninsula of India, bear the ex-
preston OF majestic grandeur and OF
a desire to hand down to futurfty
eternal feelings of certain great truths
or remarkable events. These elevated
feelings are not due to climate, his

Famous leoend8-

The Schloss Eltz. famous old castle
on the River Moselle. destroyed by fire
recently was the only castle OF the
scores along the Moselle that had
never been captured by storm, never
surrendered and never despoiled. 1t
was built early in the twelfth century.
and the territory 1t governed became
famous because OF the peace OF Eltz,"
peace that was regulated by an oath
taken by all subjects of the ruler, and
by his own family. The oath provided
that anyone who killed or injured any
one else should be banfshed forever.
Guests were obliged to take the oath
upon entering the castle. and were
governed by 1t as long as they stayed
in the territory.
The castle had four chateaux, one
each for four branches OF the family,
and these circled the castle house
itself. Many legends grew from the
old walls, the best known being that
OF Agnes. a beautiful girl who refused
to wed with a rival lord, and when the
lover appeared at the castle gates with
an army to seize her she donned armor
and led the attack that resulted in his
death and the defeat of his army. AS
the soldiers fed. however. a bowman
turned and sent an arrow that found
place in the heart of the girl. Her
armor is still shown at the castle with
the hole in the breast where the ar:
row entered.
