The cares Of tho Queen.

The time was when only few knew how
heavy is the load of work and anxiety laid
upon the queen. Now, happily, the entire
English people are more or less conscious
OF it. We are not quite sure, however, that
1t has struck many people as it ought to
strike them, that the burden becomes heav-
Ter year by year. For her majesty is not
only queen of Great Britain and Ireland
she is also empress of India But her Off
cial duties by no means express tho full eX-
tent of her territory or the area of her cares
and responsibilities. Every occupant of
the foreign Office can tell how the business
of that department of state has increased
in volume during the last few years, and
how it goes on increasing. That means
augmentation of labor and solicitude to the
crown, whose wearer, moreover, has to in
form herself of n world of matters outside
its jurisdiction.
In the dedication to the queen written by
Tennyson the year after his elevation to
the laureateship, he affirmed that the Office
held by her majesty is 'nobler than arms,
or power of brain or birth" We may rest
assured this was no empty or merely court
ly assertion. 1t represented n sterling fact,
and it represents n sterling fact STILL 1t il
the Office of august duty, and when the
duty is adequately performed it is unques-
tionably the highest conceivable. "She
wrought her people lasting good" wrote
the laureate Il years ago. If those words
were true then, their meaning has since
been yet more strikingly amplitied Dur
ing reign which in mere duration has
rarely been surpassed, and in greatness aud
majesty has never been equaled, the queen
has set alike to the highest and the hum
blest of her subjects the example of what n
life should be.
The moral tone of the nation has been
sensibly raised by one of whom it could he
said 40 years ago, Her court was pure, her
life serene" The perfect serenity was inter
ruptcd by the hand of death, but sorrow
only made sense of duty more acute and
more perfect. The true and tender eulogy
uttered by Tennyson in 1851 has been merit
ed hundredfold since it was written-

Colorado's Tonic Atmosphere.

Among the people of Colorado are very
many who say that it is customary for east
ern folks to let their regard for the east
keep warm until the moment comes when
they seriously consider the idea of leaving
Colorado. At that junctnre they realize
for the first time the magic of the noun
tain air and the hold it has upon them.
Few indeed ever seriously think OF leaving
1t after one such consultation with them
selves But must say it is IL very quees
air. 1t keeps every one keyed up to the
trembling point, melting the population to
tircless, incessant effort, like II ccascless
breathing i'll of alcohol.
1t creates highly nervous people, and rs
one man said, at is strange to fancy what
the literature of Colorado will be when it
develops its own romancers and poets, SO
strong is the nervous strain and mental ex-
altation of the people. Julian Ralph in
