RAILWAY CARRIAGE ETIQUETTE.
Travelling in a second-class carriage, a gentleman' had a little misunderstanding with a lady, the only occupant of the compartment besides himself, in reference to the opening of a window "You don't appear to know the difference between the second and third class," said the lady cuttingly. '' 0, madam," replied he, " I am an old railway traveller I know all the class distinctions. In the iirst-class the passengers behave rudely to the guard; in the third the guards- behave rudely to the pastigers in tho second," with a bow to his fellow-passenger, " the passengers behave rudely to each other."
