The apartments are magnificently fur
nished and are located In the center
of the huge building. There is a royal
entrance to the station which leads
directly to the train platform and on
either side of the passageway are the
waiting rooms. The main waiting room
is to the left of the hall, and on one
side of the doorway is a painting of
the queen and on the other side a
painting of the prince consort.
This room is lighted by one window
filed with ground glass facing the
front, and barred on the outside with

Of the furniture is very handsome, and
when not in use is carefully protected
b! covers, which render it impervious

are paneled with a material of silken

WHEAT AREA INCREASED.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The statisti-
elan of the department of agriculture
reports that the wheat crop in the
United States for 1899 at 5l7SO0OO0
bushels or 1913 bushels per acre. The
production Of winter wheat is placed
at POI 700, 900 bushels, that of spring
wheat at 255, 100000 bushels. Every
important wheat growing state has
been visited by special agents of the
department and changes in acreage
are the result Of their Investigations
The newly seeded area of winter wheat
is estimated at S0.150.OO0 acres. which
is about 100000 acres greater than that
shown in the fall OF 1898. Sowing
wheat is still going on in California
and some Of the southern states and
the foregoing estimate is subject TO
correction. The average condition is
971. The acreage sown with winter
rye is estimated at Z per cent. less
than that of last year.

Just like any other old lady. The
journeys do not bother the queen
much, but a small army of attendants
and officials excite themselves over a
paltry trip of five hundred miles or so
by railroad to a degree that can scarce
ly be comprehended by the American
mind.
If trip of this kind were con-
templated by a traveller here he would
take the train at night and expect to
wake up at his destination the next
morning, and that would be all there
would be to it. Or he would take an
early morning train and expect to
reach his destination in the evening in
time for good dinner
But it is a very different matter when
the queen goes n travelling. The date
of the journey is set at least one month
in advance, and then there is no rest or

of forty-fiVe miles an hour If the en-
gineer made the pace forty-seven miles
or forty-three miles he would probably
lose his job. Forty-fve miles is the
royal speed, no faster and no slower
There is always pilot engine which
runs in advance of the royal train
about fifteen minutes. Some high of
ficials are on the pilot to see that the
tracks are clear and in perfect condi-
ton and that the signals are working
all right. After the pilot has passed
nothing can cross the tracks. The
road <~practically closed until the
royal train passes. If farmers wish to
Gloss the tracks they must wait until
the special officers detailed at all the
grade crossings give them permission.
In it's passage through the kingdom

the time being.

when the treaty was signed was the
library of the house and the one Pres
ident Madison appropriated for mis-
official hours. Like the table, it is
circular, and the convex windows reach
to the floor. A large fireplace added
to the comfort and picturesqueness.
The old table came originally from
England. 1t is an interesting piece of
cabinet work. The mahogany now has
polish like glass. On each of the doz-
en- drawers which follow the circle or
the table the keyhole is cut through
diamond of inlaid ivory, and on a
plate, also inlaid, are engraved the let
tiers of the alphabet in twos and threes.
They occupy nine drawers, and the re-
naming three are devoted to Letters,
Receipts and Bills Paid.
Anticipating the modern inventions
and appliances for holding books and
papers, the maker of this table con-
trived sort of jack-in-the-box on the
top of the table, which may be ad-
justed at any desired angle for paper
or book. The felt fitted to the top or
the table Mrs. VOORHEES, has restored,
but the original age-eaten one is pre-
served. When the table reached here
each drawer had two mahogany knobs,
but Mrs. VOORHEES, learns from the Tay-
loe family that these replaced the orig
inal ones of ivory, so she intends, IL
possible, to restore this striking feat

THE ROAD TO APIA.

Lieutenant Lansdale, while retreat
ing before large force of Samoan reb-
els, was wounded below the knee and
could not retreat with his comrades.
Ensign Monaghan refused to leave
him and save his own life, but, seiZ-
ing a rifle from a disabled man, made
a brave defense against a horde of
rebels, until both the American officers
were slain by the savages.)
The sunny road to Apia
Is strewn with blossoms wide,
But many a savage foe turks hid
Within the jungle-side.
Twas there the gallant Lansdale
stood,
One bygone April day,
When unseen hordes cut off from view
The warships in the bay.
Halt! Haiti" he cried. stand, lads,
and fire!
What recks 1t how or when
We die, so that they tell at home
We died like fighting-men!
His eyes grew dim, yet still beheld
Within that fated zone
His brave men falling at his feet,
Till one man stood alone.
And that was Ensign Monaghan.
Across his cheek he felt
The fire; but in his veins there leaped
The red blood of a Celt.
"Good-byel" said Lansdale's feeble
vote
His ensign heard him not;
He, too, was passing with his chief
Before that rain of shot.
So died this band What flag can
droop
On foreign shores or seas
What shield be lost to history
Upheld by men like these?
Stay for an hour. oh. loving hands,
That weave the victor's crown,
And raise stone where Lansdale fell
And Monaghan sank down.

doors fold out to twice the breadth OF
an ordinary carriage footboard The
whole saloon is supported by Illuminated
springs of bright polished steel, which
are sensitive to the slightest oscilla-
rion.
The queen is greatly opposed to be-
ing jolted about while railroading, and
her attendants see that the springs on
the car are in fine working order
The queen also dislikes the noise of
railroad travel and there is a royal de-
cree which provides that all switching
operations must be suspended, at least
for half an hour before the royal train
is due to pass, and all engineers on
waiting trains are required to prevent
their engines emitting smoke, making
a noise by blowing off steam" or other
wise committing offenses which might
prove disagreeable to her majesty.
Each Of the railroads used by the
queen has it's royal saloon or car. That
of the Great Western has three main
divisions, the central one being for the
queen and the other two for her lady
and gentlemen attendants respectively.
The queens apartments resemble a
tiny drawing room, with numerous
easy chairs and broad couch. These
are upholstered in cream colored
| morocco, which matches the sides of
the compartment, cushioned with the
same material. The doors are made of
sycamore, with satin wood mountings,
and the handles, as well as the key
latches, are of carved ivory.
The border design in silk around the
furniture consists of the rose, sham
rock, and thistle, which also figure
conspicuously on the window sashes
and arm rests, which again have the
crown worked in silk upon them. In
the center Of the carpet and on the
cushions are the royal coat of arms.
The roof has a border of hand painted
work, and oil is the artificial illumi-
nant when daylight is shut out by the
blinds and curtains made out of cream
silk.
The royal coach of the London North
Western system is much the same. The

silk and the arrangement is much like
| that of the Great Western. The queen s
car is always placed in the center OF
the train to be better protected in ease
of accident. Usually the royal in
is made up of sixteen cars, as c
amount of baggage taken by the gu
is something stupendous. Very ofte..
she alsD takes her favorite horses and
carriages with her, and these help to
swell the number of cars.
! Each car carries a couple of extra
guards and the train is fitted with a
telegraphic outfit which can be speedily
adjusted in event of emergency. Moth
ing is cooked for the queen on the
train. Stops are made at certain
places and provisions which have been
specially prepared are taken on. The
queen ever spends a night on the train,
as her Journeys are always accom-
pished in day time.

Evidence goes to show that the
west Indians as hooddentin was priced
among this people and used in their
ceremonies. They believed, as do the
Moquis, that they were descended from
snakes, hence, as the lecturer says, the
snake dance is an ancestral worship, a
sort of Shinto performance, so to
speak, only the Cinnamon go in on a
larger scale and select dragons.
Commissions of nature and the nat
ural decay of the race have swept this
people out of existence. Mr. Cooper
states that the cliff dweller lives today
in the Moqui Indian; not only by d.
rect descent, but in language and arts.
Another branch, moving to the east
ward, became the mound builders, the
sinuous lines of whose earthworks
preserve the form of the sacred snake.
The line of descent then went south
to Colthuna, thence to the Toltecs, the
Aztecs, the Pueblos and the Zuni, and
so back to the starting point.
The root of the language of these
people, so far as it is known, is identi-
cal, and a scientific classification of
facts and fancies of tangible material
and neurological lore makes the cliff
dweller the Adam of the southwest
