SIX NATIONS AT DINNER.
The cosmopolitan character <'| the Medical Congress has provided the West. End waiter with a new experience (stated tlie -Daily Mail' of August I'2). He has never had quite so ninny diners of different nationality to serve at the same time. In one hotel on Saturday night there, were six nations represented at one table—-France. Spain, tiermany, Italy, America and Russia—and tho waiter gave a representative, of the 'Daily Mail' his views on tho characteristics of tho diners. "It is." he said, "a pleasure to serve a Frenchman. He orders fond with the senso of an epicure. The Italian knows how to cat and appreciate good food, but the German is very much like an Englishman and an American ; he. eats to satisfy hi« hunger. The lUussiat' is somewhat of a gourmet. But when it comes to 't;!)j;u,;' give me the Englishman."
