Making His Own “Sleeper.” A man who obviously appreciates comfort above all things.—above even the embarrasment of feeling the amused interest of his fellow-passeng-ers—entered the AVellington-Auckland express carriage on a recent night and began to busy himself with some planks and a parcel he had brought with him. Neatly and with the greatest aplomb ho arranged the planks 'between a pair of unoccupied seats, and gravely he began to blow through a rubber tube. The blowing process continued for many minutes before the near by passengers discovered that a large u lilo” bathing mat was being inflated. 'When it was ready the man placed! it. on the boards, went through the usual train toilet, and curled himself up on his bed under some rugs. It was unfortunate that at the first sharp turn made by the train he and his bed shot off into the aisle * and he took this calmly, rearranged his bed safely, and quickly went to sleep.
