THE "KHIYA" AND THE "RAHULA."
The "Khiva" and the "Rahuls," the
two magnificent sleepers, come next.
They are built on the general plan of
the old Pullman sleeper and differ from
it mainly in elegance of finish. The
wood work in both is solid mahogany
with silk plush upholstery, fine silk
curtains, plate glass windows, nickel
mountings, etc., etc. These cars,
like all the others of the train are
heated by steam and lighted
by electricity. In case light is desired
in any one section after the other
occupants of the car are sleeping, it is
supplied by attaching little lamp by a
portable wire cord to a screw just above
the windows. Thus card-players, OF
readers can sit up all night if they
choose. without the necessity of having
light burning in the aisle. The lava
tories are sll supplied with hot and
cold water from faucets, no pumping
being necessary.
THE ALADDIN"
The last car of the train which In
cludes the smoking room, the quarters
of the ladies' chaperone and ladies' bath
and also serves as an observation car
is called the Aladdin" The front is
arranged as a sleeper and furnished
just as the other sleepers. Next to this
are the choperOne's quarters, the ladies'
bath and the smoking room. Then
the library, with which this,
in common with the other
cars, is furnished. The rear
half OF this car is probably the most
elegant part of the train. Finished in
antique oak, richly carved, with old
gold silk pushes covering all the
chairs, it presents a striking and beau
tiful picture. The chairs are of heavy
wicker work, generously upholstered
and handsomely trimmed. The broad
plate.glass windows enable the passen-
ger to view the scenery of the country
passed over without the least incon-
Venience or discomfort. In fact, it is
sitting in the arms of one of these big
motherly chairs and taking in the
magnificent scenery of the west, with
his bath, bedroom, dining-room, side
board and library only a step away,
that one is forced to ask himself: "1s
not this the end? Can human skill go
further?"
