Snare recently retained to this dry a
KMkedist missionary who twenty-three
Kago sailed from these shores for
ssys the Philadelphia Raw. Tbt
Jtaerdsy he visited Laurel Bill, sad there,
taoaf the monuments and graven, he told
aeeut the sscred burial-place of the Parsee
stead upon the heights of Malabar Hill, some
listen- ant of Bombay.
"i:hsd heard so much about the Towers
of Silence,'" he said, "that my curiosity
was aroused to know what it was like. But
I soon found that it was impossible for one
pet a follower, of the great prophet Zo
roaster to ever gain admittance inside of
these towers.
'This strange sect, the Parsees," he con
tinued, "are so scrupulous in their cere
anonials and customs, and so strict in the
observance of their rites, that you can
readily see how reluctant they would boto
allow an outsider, especially one who was
leaching the doctrines of Christ, to observe
Che ritual they practice.
"I hrd bees the means of renderinr a
favor to an intelligent aad well-educated
Parsee gentleman living in Bombay, be
tween whom and myself there sprang up
quite a feeling of friendship. When I
thought I could safely make my request I
saade known to him ray desire to visit the
Towers.' Be said he would see whether
he could obtain penaUsIoa tor me from the
priests who guarded the sacred portals.
There the matter dropped. I did not hear
from him for some weeks, until one day he
came to me saying that permission bad
been granted, and that we must be ready to
start the next morning.
i'l shall never forget," continued he, "the
hot, cloudless day that we drove in our
slosely curtained vehicle, or gharry, out of
the dusty, noisy streets of Bombay to the
cool and shaded and silent place of Malabar
BjlL The whole place seemed a veritable
tardea of the dead. Here jasmine, crimson
nybiscus aad beautiful roses wcro spread in
bewildering profusion about the walks
leading to the entrance. The heavy,
languid air was filled with the most
fragrant odors and the sweetest per
fumes. I could hardly believe that I
was in a burying-ground. After alighting
from the gharry we ascended the low, stone
earns, which led to a closed iron gate. My
Mead showed our permission to the old and
venerable Parsee, who throw open the gate,
aad within a tew moments we wore within
ate sacred precincts. One of the first things
that I noticed as I gated around was some
lve or six solid-looking circular buildings,
Khaps eighteen or twenty feet in height
i walls of these structures were built of
eeavy mocks of stone and covered with a
kind of white cement or plaster. The build
lags themselves stood in a shallow moat,
surreaaded by tall palm trees, heavy bushes
of various kinds, and herbage growing wild
and uncultivated. These, then, were the
famous Towers of Silence' Truly, they
were well named. 8aveforthe clicking of
eur shoes on the smooth stone, the fitful
swaying to and fro of the branches of the
tall palms, and the occasional flapping of
wings by crows and vultures on the trees,
not n sound was heard in the languid, breath
less air. The hot tropical sun beat heavily
down on the bare white walls, and every
where stillness and silenco reigned su
preme." "How do the Farsees bury their dead!"
"When you reach the topof the 'Tower'
yon will find that the entire circular surface
is divided Into three smaller circles, and be
tween each circle is a narrow pathway. The
circles are again divided into a great number
tf small, shallow spaces, or receptacles, as
my Mend eatied them, also separated by
narrow pathways for trie bearers of thebody
to pass. The top of the 'Towr is sur
rounded by a sort of parapet, which hides
the surface from outside view. Now comes
the strange part of the Parsee burial cus
tom. It was tho teaching of our great
prophet and master, said my companion,
that the dead should not dciile the earth.
Accordingly, no dead Parsee is laid in the
earth, but his body is exposed to all the
fowls of the air, to more quickly return to
the dust and the elements from which it
came. Heroin the center of our 'Tower'
you see a deep well, down which wa put to
gether the dry bones of all the dead men,
women and children, rich and poor, great
and small. For the dead there can only bo
equality.'
" Wc next went to what U known as tho
UbiBCof Prayer a low, stdnc-arched build
ing with colonnades all around. This is the
fcouse wherd the friends of the deceased re--inain
whilo the body is placed on tho ' Tow-
st.' It is here that tho sacred fire burns
- day anil niIit, year in and year out, always
watched bya faithful priest whoso duty is
to feed the flames with precious woods. Tho
. air in this Houso of Prayer is thus redolent
with tho pungent aroma of sandal wood.
' The corpse-bearers live separate from the
outer residence, and after each funeral they
go to the bathing-house, change their gar
ments, and purify themselves from the do--filemcnt
of having touched tho dead. Just
as we were on the point of taking our leavo
I saw ft small procession of white-robed fig
ures marching over the narrow stoae bridge
Jo.one of the Towers ' and disappear in the
Imall square opening in the wall.
"My companion must have seen the pro
cession, for I noticed that his whole de
meanor perceptibly changed as with bowed
head he told me that a burial would take
place only at sunrise or at sunset Sudden
ly the place seemed to be astir with life
and motion. The tall palms shook a under
a gust of wind. Tho black bodies en the
trees, hitherto motionless, raised their
heads, spread out their wings, and, with a
whir and a whiz, swooped down like aveng
ing furies on tho top of tho Tower.' Al
though I could not seo tho dreadful sight, I
knew that these birds of prey were doing
their ghoulish work of picking tie flesh from
eC tho skeleton. Instinctively I put up my
hands as if to shut out the sight, and, tak
Sr hold of my friend's arm, we quietly re
traced our steps to the iron gate through
which we had made an entrance.
"Since that memorable visit to the
Tower of Silence' I have often asked my
elf whether my first feeling of partial
ireed and disgust was not one of sentiment
rather than oae of reason. I am frank to

It would seem to many that the mannfact
are of fire-works is a simple and easy mat
ter, writes a correspondent of the Albany
Arrjvt. But as no machinery of any land is
need the manual work necessary makes It
much more laborious than where all the ,
process is performed by perfected macliin-
ery. A knowledge of the laws of chemistry 1
Is also essential. In order to give the !
reader some idea of the prooess let us select
the Roman candle as the most ordinary of j
Ire-works, ind follow it in its journey from i
room to rcon and from buiiding to building.
Too nrsi department we enter is that
where the cases are made. This i3 dene in
the following mannor: Cartridge paper is
cut into the length and size required and
laid on a marble slab, when paste is spread
ever one side, care being taken that the
paste does not get on the side touching the
teller round which the paper is then
wrapped, for if the roller Is wot it will tear
tho paper in drawing it out. This roller is
of brass or wood and the case comes off it
looking as though it had been mado from
paper of one thickness, although every boy
who has dissected & Roman candle knows
to the contrary. After this operation one
end of the case is dosed. An expert work
man can make from fifteen hundred
to three thousand a day cf these, ac
cording to size. After rolling the cases are
placed eoshelvcs and sent to theiirying room
to be thoroughly dried. In this same depart
ment is a machine for trimming off the
rough ends so that the possibility of any ac
cident happening from unnecessary friction
Is lessened. These cases besido being used
xermiing nave also various other purposes,
such as mailing, etc. While the Roman
candle is progressing thus far oa tho Jour
ney let us pec? in at the laboratory door,
Where chcm.jals are being mixed. The
performance of the principal part of fire
works depends much on the composition
being very fino and well nixed; therefore
great care is taien in this part of the work
aad particularly for the composition of sky
rockets and also in all fixed works from
which the lire plays regularly. The chem
ical mixtures are thou distributed to the
workmen, who in turn take them to the
moulding room, where, with little manipula
tion,thcy are placed in moulds and mado into
stars" or 'bails' 'as thoy are more common
ly termed. These aro all colorcd,for the pale
white lights have given place of late years
to those of beautiful tints. The color of the
stars seen in this department would deceive
one as to that which they display when fired.
The green produce a blue light and the bine
tarn to green. White is made from red
stars, red from gray, and so on until every
, color of the rainbow is catalogued.
: It is at this point where we meet the case
again ready for the reception of thechenv
j icals thus prepared. This is called the
I charging department. Before the work
man is a frame capable of holding twelve
cases upright, which he places la position,
having first ascertained that the inaides are
entirely free by passing a rod through
them. This precaution is accessary be
cause any obstruction would cause tho piece
to miss fire. On one side of him, in sep
t ante compartments, are day, composition,
J powder and stars of various colors, and on
the other a mallet of considerable weight
and several rammers of different lengths,
the longest being about tho same size as the
case he is to fill. Talon in his ha, en in
strument consisting of twelve ss&ot scoops,
connected in a lino and exactly tbe same
distsnee apart as are the cases en the frame,
he fills them with clay and skillfullv
empties them into these cases, Tho same
! Is dona with the powder, the composition
(wmen is used as a wad) and theaters. All
theso he then packs down by means of tee
longest ramrod. Repeating the same proo
ess again and again, except the clay is
omitted, ho uses a shorter rod each time
until tho case is fully charged, and poors In
at the end more clay, as this material guar
antees safe handling and packing and pro
tects tho explosives inside. The fuse is
then inserted and lastly the outsido colored
paper is wrapped around for beautifying
tho Roman candle thus made. Tho wholo !
operation described hero also applies to
rockets.
Fire-crackers come from China, where
the country people manufacture them as a
pastime, as the Germans do toys. They l
are imported in boxes similar to tea chests,
the hieroglyphics on them representing ad
vertisements of different firms,, and thoy
aro used as ballast for the shipsthat bring
tbem over. An idea may be obtained of the
utter impossibility of competition, when one
is informed that it costs but two cents to
make a pack of fire-crackers (here. The
Chinese wero acquainted, as we all know,
with the uses of gun-powder locaj before its
introduction into Europe in tha thirteenth
century, and the peasants havo been for so
many generations adept in the art of mak
ing fire-erackcrs that it has become, wo
might say, second nature. Of course, in
the fire-works, where a thorough under
standing of the mysteries of chemical
action and artistic skill ore rcrgiircd, thoso
manufactured in Brooklyn arc a fair
sample of thebigncrcxccllenceof American
;productieas. But when neither of theso
-qualities is requisite we are ontirriy out of

Characteristics
Which, more than anything else, have contributed to the phenomenal growth of The Chicago
Daily News, giving it a circulation larger than that of all other Chicago dailies combined. It
seems strange that the first practical, combined application of two such common sense principles in
journalism should have been left to a paper as yet only twelve years old. And yet true it is that in this
tact lies the real secret of the unparalleled success of The Chicago Daily News. Briefly stated
these principles are:
First THE DAILY NEWS
Is a daily paper for busy people.
Of all mankind the people of Chicago aad the busy north
west are the busiest Aad yet perhaps no equal number of peo
ple are to be found who appreciate so keenly the necessity of an
iatelbfeat knowledge of the world's daily doings. They recog
nize that they, more than anyone else, are the world's providers
in many of the most important necessaries of life. How im
portant, then, that they should have
every event, the world over, which by any possibility can affect
their diversified commercial holdings. And in all the higher
Interests of life where can be found a like number of people
more keenly appreciative of all that contributes to progress in
art, literature, science, religion, politics, and the thousand and
one things which make up modern civilization.
And yet, strange to sty, right here in this great, busy north
west, in its busy metropolis Chicago, there has taken place the
creation and development of that most cumbrous, anserriceable,
time-destroying thing, the " blanket-sheet" newspaper. With the
bbndeess of very fatuity this zaonsnosftycl
of mental dyspepsia, has steadfastly imposed its mountain of mv
threshed straw to the demand of the people
offset It was cot of the very mcongraousness of stick a condition
of things that Tfcff DauyNews had fcs birth. People wanted the
News, ell the newsbut they demanded it apart from the over
powering mass of the trivial and inconsequential. It is because
Tm DAILY News satisfactorily nieets that demand that its drcala
tioa is ever " a-mObon a-week."
R. M. Lawhencs, Wlliamsville, 111., says: "The 'big daily is
too much for me. Not that a person is obliged to read every
thing printed in the ' blanket-sheets,' bat one having anything
else to do doesnt have time to hunt through the long-drawn
twaddle for a few grains of digestible food.''
When to two such comprehensive elements of popularity THE DAILY NEWS
now adds a third in its unparalleled price reduction to One Cent a day, it offers a combination of
attractions at once unique and unapproachable by any other American newspaper, and one which
will sorely multiply its friends throughout the Northwest by the thousands.
The Chicago Daily News is for sale by all newsdealers at One Cent per copy, or will be
mailed, postage paid, for 53.00 per year, or 25 cents per month. The farmer and mechanic can now
afford as well as the merchant and professional man to have his metropolitan daily.

A DESPERATE OUTLAW.
Oto Paraalt aad Captor by Wstrj,
Coel-IIead Detective.
A Canadian officer at Calgary, N. W. T.,
tells a New York Ptmt correspondent this
story of an adventure with a desperate
whisky-trader: "I have had some close
calls with whisky-traders in my timCrand
still," he added, meditatively, ' I never aad
to shoot one yet." After a moment'c
pause he continued: ' One of the most des
perate men I over rrested for having'
whisky in bis possession was Blank. It was
in the- fall of In;. He had a four-in-hand'
load of whisky, gin and brindv that be was
running across, and be and his partner'
were both riding in the raeon, Blank hav
ing no-saddle-horse. This- earpo was all her
possessed in the world, anaVbe knew that if
ho was caught he could not pay a fine off
9400, for this was his second 'offense, and, of.
course,, his four horses, wagon and liquor'
would bo confiscated. When I first caught:
sight aC them they were about three miles
off, and I at once rode towards them to see
who they were. As soon ns they saw that
I was after tbcm thoy whipped their horses
up to a gallop, but my hortc was fresh and
a fast runner, and before they had cone far
it was plain to see that I was gaining fast
on them. As soon as Vlaak saw this he
stoppe-lcut off the leaders-, and mounting
one of them, pulloped JT; but by this time
I was within half a mile of tic waon.
" wncu i roue up alongside I saw at a
clance that it contained whisky, and also
tnat the man tt!ho remained with it was not
its owner. I dismounted and mado him my
prisoner, telling him to remain there with
the wagon until 1 returned. 'Look here,
stranger,' said he, ' don't follow that man,
he wonft bo taken alive. lie is armed with
a Winchester and a Coil's revolver, and to
prove to you that be won't be taken alive,
I'll tell you who it is. It's JLUank.'
" 'That's tho very man 1 '-rant,' said L I.
jumped on my horse and rot the spurs to
! him and rode after Blank. I caught up to
him about half a mile further on in a coulee,
where-he had dismounted and was trying toe
hide. I galloped up to him so fast, and
pullcd.up so quiet, that, in stepping back to
avoidmy horse, he caught his ticcl on the
ground aud fell. Before he could regain
his feet I had dismounted and covered him.
with my revolver. Ho sprang to his feci
and tried to draw his. I laid my hand ok
his shoulder, telling him. t bat be was my.
prisoner, at tho same time holding my re
volver dose to his head. By this time he
had his partly drawn, aad, seeing this,. I
pressed the trigger until the hammer of
my self-cocker was as far back as it could
go without snapping. He told me to shoot
and.be cursed, and at tho same time sprang
forward, so that tho barrel of my pistol
caught him on the temple, tearing a deep
gash, back into his scalp about six inches
loajr- This partly stunoed him, but in two
on three seconds he recovered.
oeked before it could be fired. Br this
tone it was drawn, aad he attempted to cock
it. I caught hold of the hand in which he
held it and turned iu to one side, and at the
same time told him-that I would count ten,
and if he did not drop his pistol when the
number was counted I would blow out his
trains. He called out: 'Blow away.' I
donated up to niae, and pressed the trigger
so that the hammer rose, and on seeing this
he dropped his weapon end gave himself
a. I got him mounted on his horse and
brought him sack to the wagon. Every
thing was as I had left iu but the prisoner
who had been there was gone, and I did not
blame him for going.
"Of all the men I ever arrested this was
one of the mast desperate. If X bad given
him the least chance he would have shot
me. On the other hand, had I been ia tbe
least excited I should have shot ami. But I
am not of an excitable nature, and besides
I never want to take away that which I can
never return."
"Well, yes," said I, I think a good
many men would bare lost their heads

I bad been so often deceived. But im
provement came, and I continued its use
until perfectly well. I love since married,
and have a healthy family. No trace of the
disease is seen. Swift's Specific did all
this for rac, and I am grateful. Yours
truly, TS. Strader.
