be carefully chosen. The train cannot be
too heavy. nor must it be too light. On
both the New York Central and the Penn
sylvania the train is of the most expensive,
specially built character.
The Pennsylvania uses six engines of
the Atlantic type, with huge driving and
of tremendous weight The particular
feature in the construction of these en-
gines is their enormous fire area. It
amounts to some $500 square feet. Each
engine carries about 22,4OO pounds (ten and
one-fourth tons) of Pittsburg coal, of
which the average consumption is % 600
pounds to a run-the amount varying ac-
cording to the weather-and $500 gallons
of water. Fully equipped with coal and
water the engine weighs about $50 tons.
The train consists of a combination bag
gage and smoking car, a dining car, a
drawing room and stateroom sleeping car,
and an observation car. Exclusive of the
engine. its weight is 4T7OOO pounds or about
223 tons. In addition to the Pullman car
porters, cooks and walters it carries a crew
of six men-conductOr. engineer, fireman,
baggage man, brakeman and fagman.

fered through the combined courtesy of an
experienced ship surgeon and a head
stewardess who has served one steamship
company for ten years
Said the ship surgeon: THE average
American woman either allows herself TO
run down physically and nervously unth
her physcian orders her to sea as last
resort. or she wears herself out setting her
house to rights and preparing for the trip
In either case she is in fine condition for
an attack of seasiCkness. Add to this a
prevailing notion that the ocean traveller
should take strong purgatives just before
sailing, and you have your digestive appa-
ratus in lust the right condition to invite
NAL de mer.
III your physician recognizes that your
liver is not acting properly, take 1t in hand
at least a month before you sail. Clear out
the system thoroughly, and then tone IT up
before the sailing date; and above all things
do not starve yourself either just before
sailing or on the boat. If there is nausea,
the experience will be less trying If the
stomach has something to throw off than
If there is only violent retching with no re-
suits People have been known TO die Of
heart failure under these conditions.
"A woman who is looking for rest should
never take an express steamer or one Of
the fast liners. The throbbing of the pow
erful engines sometimes gets on the perves
and prevents the very rest which the pa
tient needs on the slow-going steamers
this throbbing is not noticed and there is
less probability of seasickness, because the
slow boats carry freight in such quantities
that they are weighted down and do not
roll and toss like the fast steamers where
all space is sacrificed 10 engines and little
or no cargo is carried.
THE most desirable staterooms are amid
ship, and the experienced traveller always
selects an outside room, near the center of
the boat. The traveller who selects a state
room forward or near the bow will feel the
plunge and the rise and fall OF the boat.
She who taNes a room aft or in the stern
will notice the throbbing of the engines.
"In many of the new passenger boats II
is possible TO secure, at a reasonable figure
small stateroom with a single berth,
which is preferable to larger stateroom
shared with another traveller"
Here are some hints from the stewardess

Advice to Prospective

The woman who is preparing for her first
long water trip is apt to be the victim of
well-meaning but over-zealous friends.
Whether she is bound for a tour of the
great lakes or is going by a coastwise
steamer to Alaska or South America, or
by one of the great ocean liners across the
Atlantic or Pacific, she is deluged with ad-
vice and suggestions until her head swims

Centally the baths supplied at sea are drawn

should remain in the water more than a
minute or so.
Have plenty of wells. Sea air takes the

IF you do not carry the regulation Dill

long narrow pillow, air cushion preferred,
which you can tuck under the small of your
back. Mark your rug and steamer chair
with a white strip marked with your name
in indelible ink.
Experienced travellers are always recog-
nized by ocean liner crews through their
simple, elegant dressing They wear gowns
OF subdued coloring, and for dinner these
are relieved by the sheerest OF linen or col
lars and cuffs of real lace.
Supply yourself well with notions, dress
shields. hairpins, safety pins, needles all

on the boat, and they are also high-priced
as a rule on the continent.
