What q Change.

Times have changed since 1924, when
on issuing invitations to public din
ner it was deemed necessary to lay down
rules to be observed by gentlemen
present on the occasion. Old records
bring to light the fact that in 1924 those
officers who were invited to dine with
the Archduke of Austria were instructed
by circular of the royal chamberlain
how to conduct themselves Mt table.
They were directed to come neatly dress
ed in coats and boots, and not to enter
in half-drunken condition. At table
they were not to tilt up their chairs, nor
rock themselves, nor stretch their legs
mt full length, nor drink after each
mouthful, lest they get tipsy too soon.
nor empty their gobets to the extent of
more than one-half after each dish, and
before drinking therefrom they should
wipe their mouths and mustaches in
clearly manner; neither were they to
thrust their hands into dishes, or throw
bones under the table, nor to fall from
their chairs and make themselves incap-
able OF walking straight.

an approaching execution. the hibbet

The necks of all were dislocatod, and,
as subsequently ascot lined on dissec-

surgeon, who suggested to the eXecu-
toner the proper method of fixing the

CARELESS PHYsIcIANs.-In Portland.
Me, gentleman, unable to sleep from
the pain of rheumatism, sent to the
apothecary's shop for paregoric. In
stead, laudanum was furnished, and a
dose was given TO the sick man. Soon
after taking it he fell into sleep from
which he never awoke. The Portland
advertiser, for the sake of the apothe-
cary, who feels most keenly the result
of his carelessness, refrains from
mentioning his name, which strikes us
as misplaced consideration and an in

English Slecplng-Cars.

For the first time in the history OF the
country sleeping.car was run on II
British railway in the month Of Febru-
AIRY, 1873. No one will be surprised to
learn that the affair was vastly inferior
to those in such general use in America
The London Nous gives II description
of the single car thus far in use. Ii is
thirty feet long, about half the length
of n pullman sleeper" One end is
devoted to n luggage compartment, the
other to an ordinary second-class com
partment. The part devoted to sleep
ing arrangements il eighteen feet in
length, i'll two saloons, each giving ac-
commodation to three passengers.
There is apparently no partition or cur.
tains, between the beds, SO that unless
there is n party of three to take COM
partment, one or more of the beds must
be unoccupied, provided the travellers
are at all particular about their sleeping
companions. The most singular thing
about this single sleeping car, owned by
n company that operates more than eight
hundred miles OF railway, is, that it is
not proposed to run it regularly, but
only when it has been specially be-
spoken. 1t is interesting to learn thai
the doors of the car open in such way
that the occupant of either bed may go
out without stepping over anybody
but to do so he is obliged to dismount
Mt the foot of his own bed, as the three
mattresses touch each other Mt the side
and fill up the whole space between the
sides of the car.
