HEAD TOWARD THE ENGINE.

The. disappearance Of the dnster on
American railroad trains was recently
pointed out as change which has come
over the travelling public In the past five
years without attracting the slightest no.
ice Every one once wore duster. No
one does now.
The Railroad Gazette has recently been
publishing number of letters ON another
change MS sudden aud as complete. Five
years ago oil berths on slcepers were
made up with feet to the engine, unless
the reverse was ordered. Today nearly
all bertts are made up the other way on
the main lines. and II Is the exception
that the old position is retained.
No one of The Gn2ette's correspondents
have given q reason for this, save one
that on IN elevator no one objects to go
ing up, thought descent is often dis
agreeable. There is the additional reason
that whatever draft is created is more
agreeable If it comes from behind the
head than II 1t blows In the face. The
change has also come since tie portcr's
or the sleeper rules. or both, We're less
stringent as TO closing windows in lower
berths. If Il window Is open an inch or
two the passengers comfort ~ greatly
increased aud the open window Il
naturally II the rear end of the berth. and
as naturally the bertL is made up with
the pillow at the head.
Whatever the cause. TIE curious fact
remains that q habit of making up berths
with heads to the rear has suddenly been
altered by the general consent of travel
ers, wlO have all found out what few
discovered ten years ago, that the way
to be comfortable on a sleeper Is to take
lower berth, have the head TO the
engine, aud wedge up the rear window
