NOTES AND COMMENTS Now is the time when the differ- ence of opinion, over the opening of car windows is accentuated by the sharpness of the weather, and there is much virtuous indignation over car manners. Should you “strike the man in front of you who gives you an overdose of fresh air window? Some time since an in- yentive correspondent of a contem- porary solved the problem by fold- ing and holding up his newspaper in such a way that he shot the wind into the neck of the fresh air en- thusiast, who soon dropped the window without a word. The correspondent displayed a truly admirable finesse, and it is @ pity that we cannot always have bad car manners corrected in this silent and skillful way. For the student of efficiency, however, we consisted not in opening a window but in holding an unlighted cigar between the lips, the object being what is called a dry smoke. The smoker was innocent of evil intent ‘and unconscious of wrongdoing. who hated the weed and its de- yotees, and he said to the smoker, with all the meaning he could put into the sentence with the help of gesture and pentane look: ‘This is not a smoking car.’ The smoker took the hint in good faith and explained that he did not intend to light his cigar. But this did not satisfy the regulator, who | returned to the charge with in- creased impressiveness of manner till he had made his motives clear. Then the smoker took his cigar and jammed it against the nose of the party of second part until it was crushed into fragments. He en- forced his lesson with words that are not good to print, and when quiet reigned again, it was the reg- ulator and not the smoker who had Ad left the car, Selfishness, impertinence, insen- sibility all crop out, and the style of treatment must vary to suit the need. The artful turning of the wind was a great device in the first instance. The cure by means of the crushed cigar was perhaps trifle strenuous, and yet it was highly satisfying not only to the doctor but to the lookers-on. Some time each one of them had been a@ snfierer in-some way from the in- solence of the person who claims a sole proprietorship in a public conveyance, and the exhibition gave them a deep and lasting joy.
