EOMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.

" “W hen the average patient comes to
me,” said a woman physician who has
less faith in drugs as a sure cure than
in exercise, diet and wholesome habits
of thought, ,“the first thing I ask her is
not what are her symptoms—for I can
generally tell those at the first glance;
nor how long she has been suffering—
for she doesn’t wait to be asked that;
nor even the enumeration of the things
I that she ought not to have done and the
things that she has left undone, but
‘What have you been taking?’

-. “I never yet knew it to fail to bring
forth the ‘ what-might-have-been¥ex-
pected reply, and to prove to my mind
‘ beyond; doubt that too much drugg‘ing
was thexmain‘cause of the trouble. '
_“fl’he;,first~ thing that the average
woman does upon falling ill is'to’pé‘gih'
- to: :‘dose‘ herself, without, " rhyme or
reasong'adyice. logic or. anything, save
. the‘grati'fication of her own sweet will.

Now, it is. all very well to know
‘what to do- till the doctor comes,’ but
the diflflcultyis that most women don’t
know, and that they ' do it just the
same. . _'

' The result is 'a tampering‘With medi-
clues that should'never betOuched un-
lessadvised by the most-reliable an?
thosiztiesgan :application of processes
thatten: to one-have nothing to do with,
the case, and a general and irrespon-
sible practitioning on one’s own. hook
that isas fpe r‘iious as it is problematic.

I hear persons now and then criti-
cize others as being too prone to con-
sult a physician upon the slightest pre-
teXt.’ To my mind, this is not half so
badz-as doctoring one’s self upon n‘o pre-
text'at all“ and to the extent to which
most Wouien are given. ”

Magnificent NewJEquipment for the
Pennsylvania Railroad’s _Congressional
Uinited.

'The Congressional Limited of the
PennsylvaniaRailroad run ning between
New York and Washington has just
been equipped with entirely new cars
of regal appointments. .

In external-gappearance the train
.3105er resembles the new Pennsylvania
Limited—red name board. cream be-
tween the windows, and dark green
below, This coloring is’further en
riched by elaborate decorations in gold
leaf. '

The interior of the train is a veri-
table palace. The wood work-through-

 

 

out is vermilion, ornamented with
delicate inlaid marquetry in Persian
designs Each car is furnished in

harmonic colors.

The dining car is a new departure
and a unique Creation. The tables are
placed directly opposite the Windows,
whicn are unusually wide, instead of
between them; and instead of the usual
fixed seats this car is equipped 'with
mahogany chairs. The tables on’ one
side of the car are somewhat longer
than ordinary. while those on the other
side are short 3r, accommodating only
“wo’persons. In consequencethere isr
:much more room on all sides than form-
erly.

The most nOticeable new feature in
the parlor cars is the ladies’ dressing
room. This is a rounded compartment
five and one-half by six feet, tastefully
furnished and finished. On one side
stands a beautiful dresser with a large
plate-glass mirror flanked on each side
bya plush wall or corner seat. Be-
sides these, the room contains a metal
washstand and several small closets
and racks. Every lady travelenwill
appreciate this latest effort of the
Pennsylvania RailroadQIcompany to
provide for her comfort. .

These new trains went into regular
service between-New York, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, and Washington on
Monday, May 2.

5’ " ' IN PHARAOH’S TIME. W

The Women Had as Many Luxuries as Are
Enjoyed To-Day. I

The excavations and explorations of
Neroutsos Bey, Brougsch Pascha, and,
more recently, of Dr. Morgan and Flin-
ders Petrie, have thrown so much light
upon ancient Egyptian society that we
now know more about the toilet, ward-'
robe and daily habits of the prince'SsI
who found Moses in the bullrushes
than we do of the early citizens of
England or France. Strangely enough,I
the difference between the ladies of,
that early period and of to-day seems '
to have been less in social matters
than between those of the court of
Queen Elizabeth and to-day. An
Egyptian lady of quality had a suite
Of at least three rooms for 'her own
use, One, a. boudoir or reception'
room, a second a. bath or dressing
room and a third a. bed room. SheI
had a. dressing maid, an assistant maid
or fan bearer, a. bath maid, seamstress
and a manicure. The manicure seems
to have been a. chiropodist as well, be~l
cause the belles of that, period used,
sandals and bare feet, and not Only;
bestowed the greatest care upon the toe
nails, but in many cases put rings on
the toes and magnificent anklets |
around the ankles. They took the
same care of their hands and theirl
nails as the women Of to-day, and for:
ornament employed rings, thumb rings, I
bracelets and armlets. '
The hair was dressed in many con-
ventional forms, and there were fash‘
ions in those years which slowly
changed, the same as there are at the
present time. There were mirrors made
of burnished silver, gold, copper and
brass. There were hair brushes, but
these were not. as good as modern ones.
Their combs, however, were far more
beautiful. They were made of bronze,
silver and gold, and were often jew-
eled. In shape there was considerable
variety; the wdrking combs ranged
from a. fine-toothed article, smaller
than the regulation affair of to-day, up
to large, coarse ones, similar to what
are called barber’s combs. j
For people not 'so well to do there
were colmbs of ivory, horn, bone and.
wood. There were pieces of hair like
ourfrizzes, bangs and switches; there
were plumpers over which thelhair
was rolled; there were ornamental
combs of various kinds, ranging from
the horseshoe shape, such as little
girls” Wearnowadays, to high shell

I

There were hairpins, which
The

must. have beenquite costly.

while all others were'of silver or: gold.
Many of these pins ‘w’e‘re-"sti’ckpins with.
Ornamental heads, the latter being
made of the preciou‘s,;metals, of enam- 1
el, carving, of prehidus stones and
semi-precious stones, such asjade, cat’s
eye, firestone, carnelian and-coral. .

On the dressing’ table there was

 

powder, both blonde and’ brunette?!
'rouge polishing powder for the nails

and teeth, antimony for darkening the‘
eyebrows, another preparation for
making the eyes lustrous; a'scarlet
painter dye for staining the lips,’
tweezers for ’, .remOving 'i-superfluous'
hair, scissors, needles, bodkins, thim-'
bles, work-baskets, jewel cases, and
there was even _a powder puff whichI
had a, pretty silver handle, and was:
made of thedowny plumage of birds.‘

In the bath room‘there was hot and:
cold water, tooth" brush, nail bruShJI
hand brush and flesh bruSh, and thero‘
were also curious little. creations in:

wood, intended for rubbing the body,I

producing results of the same-nature
as those obtained by massage treat-'
ment. The height of luxury was ob~I
tained by an Egyptian princess in taki I
ing a bath as hot as she possibly could, I
while immersed to the neck in water, "
having her" attendants fan her with
great palm-leaf fans. _=I
She loved flowers, and had jars full
of choice blossoms in all of her rooms
as well as pots of growing plants. She
had many favorites in the animal king-
dom, including song birds, parrots,
falcons, owls, birds of brilliant plum~
age, monkeys, kids, lambs, leopards,
wild cats, ordinary tabbies, terriers,
big dogs, donkeys and even tiger cubs.
She went to church with great regular—
ity, but, instead of spending an hour or
two, spentseldom less than half a day
at each service—New York Mail and
Express.

Moles Are Fierce Fighters.
You would hardly believe that moles,
clumsy, almost blind, little beast than

they are, become perfect demons when. f I

they quarrel. No one knows what:
they quarrel about, but if they once;
start fighting one has to die. Theyl
will keep on in the presence of any1
number of spectators, hanging on to.
one another like bulldogs, and burying
their enormously strong jaws and teeth
in one another's flesh. Hedgehogs, an-g'
other type of the quiet, inoffensive ani~
mal, not only fight, but always to the‘
death, and when one is killed the
other generally devours him. Hares,I
on the other hand, are proverbiallfi
the most timid of creatures. Yet the

can fight. A fight between two hares isi
a ludicrous sight, as they skip and
jump over one another. But a. blow:
from the hind legs Of a. hare'is no joke
to his opponent. Among birds, robins
are the most pugnacious. .

What \l'as Wrong.-
“Why is it," asks the Atchisoa

Globe. “that a man will fall asleep 1
his. chair while reading in the evenin
and can’t sleep a wink after he goes to;
bed?" He has subscribed for the
wrong newspaper. ,
