0LD-TIME RULES OF CIvILlTY
Undoubtedly Were Taken Seriously in
1875, but Would Seem Somewhat
Elementary Today.

There was published in 1915 a Curl
Gus book called ''The Rules of Civil
ity," and one of the things impressed
upon the reader is that being in dis
course with a man, It's no less than
ridiculous to pull him by the buttons,
to play with the bandstrings, belt or
cloak, or to punch him now and then
in the stomach; It's a pleasant sight,
ard well worthy of laughter to see him
that is so punched, fall back, and re-
tire, whilst the other, insensible of his
absurdity, pursues and presses him in
to some corner, where he is at last
glad TO cry quarter before his comrade
perceives he is in dagger" Further,
the reader is Informed that ''it argues
neglect, and to under-value man, to
sleep when he is discoursing or read
ing therefore good manners command
1t to be forbid besides, something
there may happen in the act that may
offend. as snoring, sweating, gaping or
dribbling."
