NURSERIES, on RAILROAD TRAINS.
A New Departure Which VIII Re Ap-
prccfated by Travellers With Families
Very low rates thi. n

From the Railway Review.
Now comes the travelling nursery to take
its place alongside the barber shop, bath
nursery is to take up about the same
amount Of space the private state rooms
of the ordinary sleeping car. There will
be a saving of space of several feet, how
ever, as the wide seats on the sides of the
state room below the berths are not needed
in the nursery, being replaced by ottomans
and tiny easy chairs scattered over the
floor In this way any danger from sud-
den starts or sharp curves is cbviated. As
a further protection against injury to the
little ones, the walls of the nursery are
heavily padded and the floor Tricky car
peted, SO that bumps and bruises will be
altogether avoided At each end OF the
compartment and firmly secured are two
cozy cots on which the smaller children
lie and watch the games of the older ones
Each containing the nursery attach
ment VIII carry a matron or nurse. who
will be selected with a special reference
to her ability to amuse and care for hei
little charges and she will have at hanc
supplies of milk, cookies and other edibles
and turntables dear to the infantile heart
She will also have charge of a medicine
chest containing full assortment of Tho
simpler remedies for childish ailments. A
mir iature toy shop is anoth er adjunct OF
the travelling nursery, and il will contain
everything from baby rattles to picture
books and fairy tales. Nothing. in short
will be missing that would add TO the com.
fort or amusement of the young travellers.
