The Denver a Rio Grande railroad Is
justly and universally known as "The
Scenic Limo of the World" From the
car windows Of its trains can be seen
the grandest spectacles Of Natures
wonders presented by any railroad in
the world The Rio Grande is essen
TALLY the tourists line, and over IL the
traveller secures equal comfort and
speed, with the added pleasure OF be-
for grandeur, beauty and sublimity any
where in tho world. A trip from Dem
YER to Ogden over tho "Scenic Line" Is
liberal education, and ono can thus
acquire more thorough knowledge OF
the marvellous railway engineering and
the wonders OF the Rocky Mount
aims than by any other means.
Nothing but lack of knowledge
Of these facts can excuse any one
making transcontinental journey for
missing the wonderful scenery OF the
Denver and Rio Grande railroad. Should
we attempt to give even the briefest
list of the points OF interest to be seen
on this famous line, we would require
several columns TO do so. Who Is there

with its walls ofgranite, towering above
the track in majestic grandeur to
height of nearly half milel Who has
not heard OF tho famous Marshall
Pass" crossed at an altitude OF over two
miles above the seal Who has not read
of the wonders of "The Black Canyon"

elegantly illustrated books giving full
description of the maryeIs OF the
Scenic Line" But the best thing TO
do is TO journey over the line itself, and
by SO doing you will hang such pictures
on the walls of memory that all the
attempts OF the most celebrated artists
will seem weak and trivial in the

When Benjsmin Franklin was q little

complimented him on his appearance and

A Remarkable Natural Curios-
ity.

Near the little village of Palmyra, Jeffer-
son county, Wisconsin, is a remarkable
natural curiosity in spring. 1t is in the
midst of most unattractiye marsh, not
however difficult of access, because of th'
improvements Of man. 1t wells up sud
denly at your very feet, vast pool of liv-
ing water, varying from 10 to 25 feet in
depth clear as crystal confined within
natural wall Of rock, from which long
sprays of messy trailing vines, Of variety
not found elsewhere, float in its pearly
waters. Through this depth Of 20 feet OF
water Is visible the bottom as clearly as If
bat q few inches intervened.
Below the water is depth of six feet OF
bubbling, boiling quicksand, evidently gov
erned by tidel laws Of its own, with an ebb
and flow and power quite capable OF Tor
ever engulfng tho unwary in its depths,
while at the bottom of this quicksand is an
unseen rock of unknown thickness and
crystal color, from which detached por-
tions, worn of by the constant action OF
the quicksands, have been recovered. The
shifting colors of these quicksands IS the
most wondrous marvel Of all, caused Dy
the reflected rays Of the sunlight through
this depth of clear water. They vary from
the delicate shifting color of the opal TO
the palest blue or green, seeming at times
to reflect every tint Of the rainbow In one
rapid changing simmer Of color, varying
their tinge with the suns altitude.
Drop pin into this spring, SO clear IS
the water, you can see its descent until 1t
is lost in the boiling sands beneath, where
It's light weight gives sufficient impetus
to set them boiling and secthing In new
form and direction; drop marble, button
or penny into the spring, aud the effect on
entering the quicksand Is beyond descrip-
tion. It requires but little stretch OF I'M
agination TO conceive the whole vast
witches cauldron, with the genii Of the
place ready to emerge at any moment
from the cave within the rocky side OF the
spring, ready to plunge the unwary to
remotest depths below, or to believe the
tradition that the Indians worshiped the
spring as the home Of the Great Spirit him

She Won the Ref.

Pretty Fanny Beale, a lively CineinSsi
bud, is visiting her cousin Nelli, in p;o,o
Young Mr.. Filley, of St. Louis, and his
sister Nina are also visiting at the same
house. Barnum's circus was in Piqua and
young Mr.. Filley took the girls to see the
show. In discussing the show afterward
the young man expressed his particular
wonderment at the feats of q female con-
tortionist He was especially amazed at
the highly accomplished manner in which
she twisted her foot around the back of her
neck and made cushion rest for her head
out of her heel. The warmth with which
Mr.. Filley expressed his admiration of this
act of the contortionist seemed to nettle
Miss Beale triAe, and she turned up her
nose and said:
"Pshaw! That isn't anything to brag
about can do it myself"
Cousin Nellie and Miss Filley screamed,
and assured Miss Fanny that she was aw-
full, and young Mr.. Filley laughed at her
and pooh poohed. But the spoiled beauty's
Cincinnati sporting blood was up, and she
turned to Mr.. Filley and said in decided
tones:
"I'll just bet you the price of box OF
kid ,,.os g -has eau,
Young Mr.. Filley promptly took the bet.
Then the delicate question as to how Miss
Beales ability to perform the acrobatic
feat could be proved to the satisfaction OF
the young gentleman arose, and it was
finally settled that Cousin Nellie should be
present while the act was on as referee for
Miss Beale, and that young Mr.. Filley's
sister should also be there in the interest of
her brother.
| The three girls retired to Miss Beale's
room, and young Mr.. Filley waited on the
piazza for an official report of the result of
the feat Spasmodic bursts of mirth from
Miss Beale's room reached his ears for a
time, and then there was a painful silence
for few seconds. This was finally broken
by screams of laughter, an exclamation of
wonder and loud clapping of hands in the
| room.
"Blinked if don't believe the little tar
tar has won it!D said young Mr. Filley to
himself
Another period of painful silence follow
ed the outburst of wonder and applause.
This was followed by scream or two not
prompted by mirthfulness or wonderment.
Suddenly Cousin Nellie burst from the
room and ran out shouting in alarmed
tones for her mother. Young Mr.. Filley
arose.
"Has she done it, Nellie!" he asked.
"Oh, Mr.. Filleyp Miss Nellie sobbed,
''she has done it, but she can't undo it!
| Please run for a doctorw
Fortunately physician of forty years
practice in the town lived only two squares
away. Young Mr.. Filley called him in q
hurry. He was good while in Miss
Beale's room, but when he left it he was
smiling When Miss Beale came out an
hour or so later she was trife lame, but
she announced triumphantly to young Mr..
Filley that she had won the bet. The
official report of the referees unanimously
sustained the claim, and it was promptly
paid.

Too Cheap.

The mystery Of the governments ability
to carry a letter from Maine to California
for the price of two cent stamp is not a
perfectly easy one to explain; but most
people are by this time SO thoroughly ac-
customed to cheap postage that they ac-
cept the low rate quite as a matter of
conrse. This, however, was not the case
with an inhabitant of the Kickepoo Valley
who, for the FIRST time in his life, not long
ago had occasion to use the United States
mails.
He approached the postmaster with the
air of one who intends to make as good q
bargain as possible.
'Look a. here, misterw he said; gimme
IA letter scamp, will YET How much II
il COST"
1.-TWO cents"
''Tew cents Cheap enough"
The man laid down two coppers in the
postmaster's little window, took the stamp,
looked at it curiously for moment, and
then put 1t away carefully in an old leath
or pocket-book. Evidently he regarded it
as sort of preliminary license. Then he
thrust his band into his overalls pocket
and brought out large yellow envel-
ope.
Now" said he, thrusting the envelope
before the postmaster's face, '1 want ye 70
tell me how much is the least It'll cost to
kerry that ere letter to Codgerville, about

1.-TWO cents" said the postmaster, bal
sncipg the letter on bis finger.
"Tew cents! Well, I'll be licked Of l

"That's all" said the postmaster.

kerry the letter over to save tn expense.

tew cents. Tew cents! Well, there they
be-"
He had picked ont two more coppers,
and offered them TO the postmaster, who
of course had to enter into an explana-
tion of the use of the stamp he had just
sold.
"All got fer to dew, " the man asked in
further astonishment lis fer to stick this
ere stamp on the corner o that ere letter,
an you take keer o. the restf"
That's all. !"
"well, / will be licked! 'Tain't rightly
