An amusing scene was witnessed re-
Gently on one Of the mail boats running
from France to England. The sea was
rather rough. A young woman, pretty
and nicely dressed, appeared to be sud-
denly taken very Ill with sea-sickness.
She groaned and screamed In apparent
agony for some little time. At length
a person who appeared to be stranger
to her approached and asked whether
she would like to take a lozenge, which
he guaranteed would ease her Of her
pain. He had often tried 1t. he said, on
people, and always with the most mar
velous results. The young lady de-
INJURED little at first, but finally ac-
cepted the offer. Never was cure so in
Simultaneous. Hardly had she swal-
lowed the losenge when the fair pa
tient was sitting up all smiles and or
dering ham sandwiches Of the steward.
Some passengers were SO struck with
the incident that they inquired what
was the remedy that had such won
derful result, and the gentleman, who,
az he said. was the agent for the sale of
the losenges. disposed Of considerable
number Of boxes Of them at eight shiI-

THE TRAINED NURSE
An Occupation Which Attracts
MANY Refined Girls.

Many girls of education and refine
ment are turning to the profession Of
trained nurse as q means of liveli-
hood. It is a serious occupation
and responsible one, tor the word
of an experienced nurse carries
great weight in matters relating to
her profession. 1t is this fact that
prompted an interesting interview
with Miss Kathryn Nash, of North
and Plattsburg avenues. Burlington,

city. To a reporter she said:

although I was always drowsy sleep
did not seem to refresh me. After
1 came home I had seven abcesses on
my back near the waist line and was
unable to sit up much for three or
four months. The doctors who
treated me said had blood-poisoning
from which would never recover"
THAT must have been very dis
couraging," said the reporter.
'It was. 1t took all the ambition
out OF me for awhile. But one day,
