Goa’s Decline Reflected in Xavier Tomb and Ruined City
The article surveys Goa’s ruined grandeur after the plague and conflicts. It notes the transfer of the viceroyalty to Parijna, deserted churches, and a desolate Strada Diretta. It highlights the tomb of Francis Xavier in the Church of Bon Jesus as a superb marble shrine, rivaling Asia’s great mausoleums, with red and purple jasper, bronze plates, and silver reliquary, while Goa’s living memory fades into a poetic, mournful stillness.

Fruits and Flowers Tips for Home Garden Care
A twenty year old mulberry tree yields 218 pounds of leaves annually and beans can be grown for summer supply by monthly plantings. Some trees hinder undergrowth, notably yew and ash. Watered pots need thorough soil wetting, not surface sprinkling. A bouquet solution with a touch of camphor extends vase life. Yellow oxalis thrives with sun and water, its bronze foliage highlighting yellow blooms. Peppermint water is suggested for insomnia, with caution about chloroform mixtures and medical opinions.
