WORLD'S DINNER TIME
SELDOM H At* PRECISE HOUR BEEN
AGREED UPON.
From Noon, In Ages th? Moit Popu- j
l?r, It B?c?m? Later Lift in Its
?earing* Became the Mora
Artificial*. |
What la dinner time? The hour de* j
p?Mids altogether Upon where one liven ,
In this age, and It haa depended every* -
where upon the epoch of the world, i
In many rural district* of thla coun- j
try it lies between noon and one
o'clock. The dinner time of many
4Virmera ftnri of thoae in the smaller
town* Is almost exactly that of
prlnceH and noblemen in Shake
speare's time. Many linen in his
works Indicate all the world dined,
at that time, In the middle of the
day
In our largo cities most persons do
not dine until six or seven o'clock. In
Kurope tlx* dinner hour In the cities
and towns Is always late In the day,
for tho'igh in many of the country dls
trictu the people still eat their chief
meal In the middle of the day, the
dinner hour of society never cornea
before six. In Kugland the ultra-fash*
lonable folk dine at eight o'clock.
Tho French breakfast comoB at
noon; their dinner at kIx or a little
later, and their aupper ^t hJne or ten.
Hut as they do not all remain In
bed until noon, u light meal Ih needed
early In the morning, and they usually
take their "coffee" upon arising? ^a
aort of lunch with a cup of coffee
with a roll or a few cakes.
The changes undergone by the
French dinner hour Indicate the ten*
dency of the meal hours to become
later an life becomes more artificial.
It i? related that In the reign of Louis
XII. In the simple epoch at the begin
ning of the sixteenth century, the king
went to be<| at six In the evening,
rose at daylight or before and dined
at eight In the mbrnlng. Hut these
hours did not last long. Frances 1.
Louis' successor, moved the dinner
hour along a little. He dined at ten
o'clock in the forenoon and supped at
six.
From the reign of Henry IV to the
year 1627.lt was the custom at the
French court to dine at 11 o'clock. At J
that time it became the usage to dine i
nt noon, and the supper hour came af |
seven in the evening. j
Louis XIV dined at one o'clock, and !
Ibis hour was the customary one until
well Into the eighteenth century when, I
with the, elegant people of <?e court,!
dinner was deferred, until two o'clock)
and presently postponed until threo.
The middlo classes of society followed'
the fashion at court.
After the French revolution the j
dinner h?ur came still later? at . live ;
o'clock, and finally nt hIx And so- i
defy In t !io rest of the world has 1ml- I
tated this custom, together with so I
many other French usages

T-h p.# topic at a recent. banquet I
turned to thp rising generation. when (
(low John M. ilainpR recalled how. lit- :
tip Johnny miller ungallantly classi- I
lied thp gentle sex of thp Indian tribes. ?
The incident happpned In a school i
one afternoon when tho lesson was on '
tlio American Indian and tho teacher ,
asked' if any little boy or girl could1
tpll her what the leaders of the vari
ous tribes wero called
"They are called chiefs," promptly
announced a bright little girl in re
sponse to the squestion.
"Correct." said the teacher, smiling
approvingly. "Now, then, can anyone
of you tell me what the women of tho
Indian tribps are' called?"
For a moment there was silence.
Every pupil In the class was thinking
hard Finally little Johnny Brown's
hand shot up.
"Well, Johnny," said the teacher,
"what are the women of the Indian
tribes called ?"
"Miss Chiefs." proudly answered
Johnny. . ??
Too Many Doctors.
The rapid and continuous' increase
in tin* number of medical students at
the Austrian universities is occasion
ing serious concern among practition
ers. many ot' whom are already scarco
lv able to make a living." There are
t>4>0 medical "freshmen" at Vienna uni
versity this term, constituting a "rec
ord" llgure. The Vienna Medical asso
ciation is collecting statistics of the
number of practicing doctors in Aus
tria, with tho object of inducing the
ministry of education to adopt radical
measures to restrict entries into the
medics! departments of the universi
ties.

Must Not Whistle In Flussla.
In certain cltlew of Iluuslu street
whistling by civilians la a penal oft
fense, the privilege being reserved
for the police; who exercise it, how
ever, not In order to make tunes with
their mouths, but to aend signal blast*
to each other. The whistling habit
being hereditary, It soon disappears,
and in these cities no difficulty Ih ex
