Winter Tourist Routes and Rates from

COloradoans cannot justly plead the

the change to a semi-tropical climate
where the flowers perpetually bloom, and
a visit to places Of such historic interest

Handsome Indians.

The Dakotas are said to furnish fine
specimens of Indian manhood. The
older ones of both exc are of a dark
copper color; the younger ones are
much lighter, and the young women
are quite comedy, of clear complexion
and good color, but often much over
laid with red and yellow ocher. The
young bucks dress consists of beaded
mocasstns and breeches fringed with
b~uckskin, a government shirt, coat
and hat, though many go bareheaded.
The hair Is coarse and black, and is
generally worn by both sexes in two
long braids down the back, each braid
usually decorated with beads and
wampum.

A Diamond Weighing oS carats.

Joseph B. Mayer, a diamond expert,
received from the cutters a diamond
which, he believes, is the largest in
the United States. 1t is named the
Buffalo gem" weighs sixty carats, is
a cushion shaped stone the size of an
almond and perfectly pure. Uncut
the diamond weighed ninety-fve
carats and was bought in Amsterdam
for $40, 900. 1t is like an electric light
compared with a gas jet in comparison
to the famous Cleveland gem Of forty
two carats, for which Miss Minnie
Palmer paid $50, 900 several years ago.
Large stones usually contain flaws,
but the Buffalo gem is absolutely per
fect.-Buffalo Express.

A Princess nIenagerie.

Princess Marie Theresa of Bavaria
combines an uncommon taste for trav-
cling with a passion for domestic pets,
and as she insists ON taking quite a
menagerie of them about with her the
two things do not go very well to-
gether. She is unmarried and is at
tended in all her wanderings by a maid
of honor and a chamberlain. The care
OF the princess cherished animals de-
wolves on the latter fu~nctionary,

magpies, an enormous rat and a dimin-

The proprietor of one of the largest
retail drygoods stores in the city, In
whose employ are over 700 people, tolls
me that he keeps q clerk especially
employed to figure up exactly what
every person who stands behind q
counter sells n day. This amount is
placed alongside of the wages they
earn and the relation of each consid-
cred. If it is found that a certain
girl. for example, is not selling as
much rs she is expected TO do il is
quito probable that she will be re-
minded of that fact. If she can mako
sufficient Xcu she will undoubtedly
retain her position, but, failing in
this, it is not unlikely that her serv-
ices will le no longer required.
Such a rule may seem to many a
very strict one. But if an empfoye
loses his or her position through
neglect Of duty they are r
warded quito as literally on the other
hand when it is observed that thew
are attending strictly to business. The
gentleman of whom l speak spends rs
much as S25, 900, if not over, in vari-
Gus amounts among his employees at
Christmas time.
There is one lady in my employ
said he, ito whom 1 give a present Of
$1,000 every year. She is a buyer,
and everything hat she does buy, SO
judicious are her selections, never fails
TO have a ready sale"
Accordingly l should say that if nv
friend is or less strict in certain
directions he is quito lenient in others,
and l am sure that no people who
work in retail stores in this great city
are as well treated as those who work
for him.-New York News.

A CHANCE FOR ENTERPRISE.

Some Colorado people have set on a
foot a scheme to have a portion Of Gar
field county designated as a national
park. A petition to this effect has al
ready been forwarded to the president,
setting forth the fact hat ithe region
Is utterly unsuited for agricultural pur-
poses while it Is rich in gorgeous scenery.
The scheme would be a decidedly good
one for Colorado as it would call particu-
lar attention To ColoradU's scenic re-
sources and with railroads built up to the
park add another to the many induce
mcnts offered tourist and summer visitors.
or course Colorado can never hope to ri
VI Wyomings magnificent wonder, the
Yellowstone park, bat it could expect to
reap a rich harvest as long as our national
park remains SO Difficult; of access. The
Colorado park would also serve as a stlmu
lus TO greater and grander sightseeing and
thus. Ia the effort To satisfy the growing
public demand, cause the building Of
some railroads in that direction.
OF all the railroads the Union Pacific
has the greatest opportunity to capture
aud hold ,his sightseeing travel 1t is in
a position to take lis passengers clear from
the coast on the west, from the east and
as far south as the Gulf of Mexico. The
extension Of the Cheyenne Il Northern
would place at the disposal of the patrons
OF the road an opportunity to visit the
rrandest scenic exhibition on the face of
the globe at slight personal Inconvenience
to themselves. 1t would bring the park
within ready access to all points Of the
compass. As the matter stands now the
park is a sealed book to thousands who
would delight to rcvel in It's %plories.
In this same connection the great Bur
lington road is given a fire opportunity
to be the tinst to enter the field. The
Burlington is always quick to grasp at
opportunities, and what greater hit could
1t make in the exquisite advertising
which 1t is doing in Eastern pictorial
papers and magazines than the statement
that it owned and operated the only
direct through line into the Yellowstone
National park With a southern exteu
sion it could capture the Southern as well
MS control the Eastern Business. While
several roads are mixing a hclter-skelter
race across the continent, and de
pending mainly On the slle of
town lots to recOmpensc them,
some Cnterprising railroad management
might pierce the heart of the richest agri
cultural section of the territory simply en-
route to the park, and build up a tourist
trade which would add enormously to its
earnings.
Wyoming has never been much advcr-
tised as either a health resort or a place
in which to comfortably pass the heated
term. Colorado, which is bv no means
equally blessed, has FOR years been talked
of because of its fine summer climate.
The fine article which Wyoming revcIs in
should be better known, in which case
tourists who come to see the parkwill remain
to see Wyoming and drink in the health
giving qualities Of its unrivallcd climate.
The railroad to the park, it seems to US,
presents a great chance for the display Of
enterprise.

Is to have his brother. Willard Teller, a

Steam Heating of Passenger Cars.

To the Chicago. Milwaukee & ST.
Paul Railway belongs the credit for
first having brought the matter of
steam heating of ears into general
notice; to that Company belongs the
credit of being the first Western road
which has brought its experiments TO a
successful issue, and to that Company
the travelling public will be indebted
for its taking the initiative in equip
ping its principal through trains with
comfort-producing and life-saving ap-
paratus.
In order to explain the matter in
which the cars are heated, the following
is furnished by Mr. George Gibbs, Me-
chaniele Engineer, OF the Chicago. Mil
waukee X st. Paul Railway.
The steam is taken direct from the
locomotive boiler through pressure reg
ulating and safety valves, which allow
low pressure steam only to pass back to
the cars, through the main train supply
pipe and thence to the heating pipes in
each car
The direct supply pipe is carried
through the top of the cars, and flexible
connections made over the center OF
the platforms by means of automatic
coupling and hose. BY this construc.
ton, complete immunity from danger
of scalding in ease of accident is Sc
cured; the reducing and safety valves
making over pressure impossible and
the automatic couplings on top of cars
allowing harmless escape of the steam
and instantly breaking connection tC
locomotive.
The direct train pipe is tapped in
each car by a branch pipe, which com
municates with radiator piping along
the sides for heating surface. In addi-
ton to this, provision is made for prop
erly ventilating ears by an arrangement
in each of 80 indirect heating radiators,
very similar to stacks in the cellars OF
houses heated by steam, so that the
motion of the train forces in large
volumes of heated fresh air
This feature in connection with de-
vice used for automatically regulating
the tempeture to a fixed point, says &c
degrees, assures the highest attainable
degree of comfort in a changeable
winter climate.
