THROUGH PULLMAN SLEEPING
CARS TO NEW ORLEANS VIA
THE GREAT ROCK ISLAND.

Recognizing the demand for better
train service to Texas, New Orleans
and the Southeast, The GREAT Rock
ISLAND ROUTE is now running daily
from Denver, Colorado Springs and
Pueblo, through Pullman Sleeper to
New Orleans via Ft. Worth and Texas
& Pacific Ry. This desirable depart
ure will serve to give passengers
bound for New Orleans and interme-
diate points all advantages derived
from the removal of the disagreeable
features of changing cars, and by
quick connection at Ft. Worth obvia-
ting tedious waits at junction points.
The cars are the latest pattern, are
lighted by the Pintsch gas system,
and combine all the luxurious essen
tial features necessary to the travel
er's comfort. Leave Denver $40 p.
M, Pueblo 6:55 p. M, Colorado
Springs S:15 p. M, arriving at New
Orleans at $50 a. m. on third morn
ing, two hours quicker than by any
other route. This through service
should be popular as it is only two
days out and makes good connections
at New Orleans for all Southeast, Gulf
and Atlantic points. Berths may be
reserved in advance and full particu-
lars will be cheerfully given by

AMUSING The QUEEN.
How Maids of Honor Are Selected and
Some Of Their Duties.

How Maids of Honor Are Selected and
Some of Their Duties.
Maids of honor are chosen by the
queen herself from among the daughters
of peers who, if not themselves connect.
ed with the royal household, are per.
sonal friends of her majesty. A letter is
always sent to the parents of the young
lady requesting that as personal favor
to the queen she may be permitted to
attend at court. As the position is un-
deniable and the salary is $500 year,
the request is invariably accepted, and
the newly chosen maid receives from
the lord chamberlain the command for
her first "wait.
The first thing brought to the maid
of honor is her badge, which is a min.
iature picture Of the queen set in bril-.
liants and hung from ribbon. just
before the dinner hour the maid of hon
or in waiting has to stand in the corri-
dor outside the queens private apart
ments. She carries bouquet, which on
entering the dining room she lays at the
right hand Of the queens plate.
The maid Of honor sits at dinner next
to the gentleman on the queens right.
This rule is, however, relaxed when
royal guests are present. After dinner,
unless otherwise commanded, the maid
of honor retires to her own room, whence
however, she is frequently called to
read, sing. play the piano or take
hand at cards
As regards this last, the household
have always to be provided with fresh.
ly coined money, for the queen is not
supposed to handle money which has
ever been In circulation. New York

That the crust of the earth is formed
IN layers no one will dispute, and that
oil substance ON the surface of the earth
Is drawn by some force toward the
earth's center is also undeniable. This
is called centripetal force. To admit
the existence of this force is equal to
the admission Of counteracting force
called centrifugal.
According to every experiment and all
philosophical reasoning, there must be
line OF equilibrium drawn somewhere
between the center and the circumfer-
cnce Of tho earth. The exact location Of
this line will always be determined by
the motion of the earth 1t is on this
line that the external and the internal
forces meet in deadly conflict, striving for
gravitatious power and the enforcement
of their laws The friction produced by
these two forces must be the source of
all internal heat and the eternal fire.
1t is these two opposing forces that
form and sustain the immense balance
wheel called "the earth, /" which is 20, =
600 miles in circumference but cannot
exceed 200 miles in thickness, including
the lava belt in the center.
The irregular motion of the earth
will change the central line of gravity
and cause an eruption of lava either ex-
ternal or internal. The earth when
viewed as a whole is a unit, and so
are the laws which operate it, whether
applied to the external or the internal
surface.
The law which reverses gravitation
on this equalizing line has given us two
earths in one, or world within o
world. The friction and heat of the
earth at the equator are so much greater
than they are at the poles that the law of
electric equilibrium will produce an
electric current to meet the demand for
light and heat
This internal earth is q counterpart
of the external in all Things, except its
Atlantic and Pacific are not quite so
vast, and its Nile and its Amazon are
not quite so long. Neither is its equator
nor it's zones nor its poles quite so high
Nature, with an impartial hand has
withheld no good thing from this new
world that can be tasted of by any 9TH
er. Humanity here is as far removed
from Darwin as Darwin is removed
from the chosen seed of Adam race.

Amusement For Two.

Swisher, one Of the veterans of the
Grand Army. He was in Colorado
town not long ago without money, but
with a great thirst He was sizing up o
saloon outfit from q corner seat when a
westerner invited him to take drink.
"No," replied Bill deliberately, ~

Won't you, Mr.. Boiled Shirt?" re-
piled the cowboy "We shall see. "
Then he turned to the bartender. "Put
ten whisky glasses along the bar in a
row. Now fill 'em up"
When they were filled, ne drew pis-
tol and cooked it.
Drink down the line, " he command
cd.
Bill slowly drained each glass. When
the last was down, he placed it on the
counter, set the ten glasses in line and
turned TO the cowboy
"Now mister, " said he, "if you have
'em filed again, III drink my way
