Persian Carpenters Work.

In accordance with the invariable
custom of all eastern artisans, the car
penter sits upon the ground while at
work. Instead of a bench a strong
stake is driven down before him, leav-
Ing about ten inches above ground, and
upon this he rests his work and keeps
1t steady with his feet. The facility
with which the work is executed in
this position has always been a matter
of surprise to European workmen. In
the royal arsenals English tools are
used and a better system of working
has been introduced under the superin-
tendence Of British officers, but in the
native workshops the workmen are
still to be seen squatting upon the
ground, and, being used to this posi-
ton from infancy, and their tools be-
ing formed to work with more efi-
cheney when used in this way, any al
iteration is scarcely TO be expected.
Their principal tools are the frame
saw, adze. planes, hammers, nails and
few smaller tools.-Southern Lum-

In the Good Old Days,

The Fashionable folk at the court OF
King Edward ". of England rose with
the lark, despatched their dinner at II
O'Clock, and shortly after were
wrapped in slum ber. In the Northum-
berland House Book for 1912 it is set
forth that the family rose at in the
morning, breakfasted at Z, dined at 10
and supped at 4 in the afternoon. the
gates were all shut at nine. and no
further ingress or egress permitted. In
1870, at the University of Oxford, it
was usual to dine at IL o'clock, and sup
at in the afternoon. The dinner hour,
which was once as early as 10 o'clock,
has gradually got later and later, I'M
til now it would be thought very &C.
centric in the fashionable world to sit
down to table earlier than half past z
o'clock, while others extend it to 9.

Ancient American Sleeping Cars.

L. Xavire Eyma, Frenchman, who
came to this country in 1S47, wrote an
article in ILLUSTRATION of Paris, pub
lished July 22,1S4S, giving his expert
ences on the railroads ef the United
States. He says that at that time
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad had
a length of seventy leagues and that
the cost Of the road was 4116,744
francs. the receipts 3,9SS,456 francs and
expenses 1,964,741 francs. He also
gives considerable space to the in
terror arrangements Of the sleeping
cars used at that time and says that,
they are actually houses where moth
ing Is lacking for the necessity of life
and are divided into compartments and
sleeping rooms, some for men and
some for women" Each room held six
beds or rather little touches in three
tiers along the sides. He winds up his
account by saying that valuables were
not particularly well taken care of, as
in America there were no such things
as sneak thieves"
