EVE’S RAMBLINGS.
iZOMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
A‘s nurses and nursing are topics of
special interest at this time it is
apropos to tell of the early influences
in the life of the greatest nurse the
‘world has ever known,infiuences which
in play cast their shadows on the'noble
work of later years.
Florence Nightingale’s dolls all on
jOyed very indifferent health. Time
and again disease stalked through the;
nusery and laid the dolls so low that
their lives were quite despaired of, but
the little girl who was to grow up to be
a=ministering angel to thousands of real
suflerers always pulled her babies
""1” though their worst attacks.
fine night youthful Miss Florence as-
sured her nurse that she could not pos-
'sibly go to'bed, becouse a. feverish rag-
ba'3y would need to be watched every
hour. It was only when both nurse
.~ .; _ and mOther assured the. little girl that
' one of them would sit 1ight beside the
invalid that Florence consented to go
to bed.
Once or tw1ce, thinking _the schild
was fast asleep, the nurse attempted
to leave her post,; but FlO1ence-. was
awake in an instant. At midnight a
second effort Was made to desert the
sufie1er, but the "child a‘woke again,
1‘ to 1em‘a’in beside 1,1163: ddl'l’s bed until
Miss Nightingale was up, bright and
“early in the mo1n1n,a~nd able to pro-
nounce the patient vastly 1mprOv ed.
That much harm 1esultsV f1 om the
excessive use of medicine is a fact
which nobody will dispute, and it is a
rule with the best physicians to give
little 01 none when it can be avoided.
To this is due much of the success -of
, homeopathy, for in many cases nature
- requires only careful nursing to effect
-' a, cure.
'Nevertheless, there are cases in
which the administration of a. dose of
‘ medicine is a matter of life or death—
the sole hope of recovery. Then it is,
if the patient"be'"a' child, that the
mother 1eaps he1 1ewa1d if she has
taught the child to obey, since the
._®?e is taken without t1ouble or re-
siétance.
It is worse than folly to deceive a
child with the pretense that nauseous
medicine is palatable; the deception
may avail once, but the little one loses
all faith in the assurance and it counts
for naught. Far wiser to tell him
honestly that it tastes badly, but it is to
do him good, and that as soon as it is
taken he shall have something to "take
the taste out of his mouth,” something,
if possible, that he especially likes.
Often a. struggle with the patient
will do more harm than good; more-
over, medicine thus given is apt to be
rejected by the stomach. In such case
the physician must be appealed to. It
is earner to coax a child than to drive
it and patient, gentle reasoning is sel-
dom without effect. Force should he
used only as a last resort.

Lillies of the valley are now being
used at all weddings. They are so
lovely and also so cheap.
A man may say Providence looks
after him, but he had bett.r add thata
gOOd wife helps materially.
Everything savoring of military life
finds favor in the juvenile mind, and
confectioners have availed themselves
of this knowledge to their pecuniary
advantage.
The type of woman who wears her
hair in curl papers from one week’s
end to the other is not apt to set the
world on fire by her brilliancy.
After all, if you really once care for
a. pm son you can nevex get over. it, but
y01 mu. t be sure prilnatily that you
care.
If vo u wish to see a house looking as

it on the same day.
It is genetally the plow horse that
puts on the greatest airs over anything
that frightens him. The thoroughbred
will tremble, that is all. SO in life
breeding tells always, and the deepest
emotion is of "the quiet sort which is
always good form.
Why is the average luncheon counter
so untidy that the feminine shopper

A smile from one we care about
counts more than reams of compliment
from those who are outsiders in our
life.
Aren’t there some men to whom
nature gave faces that made the voca
tion Of undertaker an absolute neces-
sity. -’
In each one of us the good is con-
tinually striving for mastery. It IS our
own fault if we do not submit to its
dominion. ’
There are very few of us who get.
discouraged because we have more
money than we can possibly spend. .

Magnificent New Equipment for the
Pennsylvania Railroad’s Congressional
Limited.
The Congressional Limited of the
PennsylvaniaRailroad running between
New York and Washmgton has just
been equipped with entirely new cars
of regal appointments. »
In external appearance the train
closely 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 decoratious in gold
leaf. - ,
The interior ofthe train is a veri-
table palace. The wood WOl‘thhl‘Ollgh-
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 w1ndows,
which 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 a'1e shorter, accommodating only
two persons. In consequence there is
much mm c 1 00111 on all sides than form-=
e1 ly. . -
The most noticeable new. feature; in;
the pailor cars is the ladies’ dressing
room. This is a. rounded compartment
five and one-half by six feet, tastefully
furnished and "finished. On 1 the Side
stands a beautiful dresser witha- :large
plate-glass mirror flanked on each side
by a plush‘ wall or cOrner 'seat.’ Be-
sides these, the room contains a metal
washstand and several small _closets
and racks. Every lady traveler will
appreciate this latest effort of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company to
p1 ovide for he1 comfort.
These new trains went into regular
se1 vice between New York, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, and Washington on
Monday, May 2.
