The Senate committee On finance having
given its sanction to Senator Eaton's bill pro-
viding for the appointment OF a commission to
examine into the tariff system and report to
Congress what changes should be made, 1t is
quite likely that it will become a law, and that
nothing beyond this bill will be attempted In
the way of tariff legislation, at the present ses-
sion. 1t has been demonstrated that there is a
clear majority In the House In favor OF certain
tariff notifications and the general Impression
Is that there are votes enough to put through a
measure for proper revision of the tariff. But
this majority is powerle5s before the autocratic
ways and means committee. and WILL perhaps
be driven TO the adoption OF some expedient
that the prOtectioniSts Will consent to. There
Is scarcely any doubt, too, but that a majority
OF the Senate would vote to make some whole
some tariff changes, but the ways and means
committee have the whole subject within their
grasp. and many seem 10 think that the best
thing 10 be done. under the circumstances Is

a Noisy Joke.

A faithful night watchman in Sacra-
mento warehouse was recently made the
victim of practical joke. Six alarm clocks
were locked up in the drawers of six desks
along the wall. They were so arranged
that the first should begin the racket about
o'clock In the morning, and the others to
chime in intervals Of half hour each. AT
the appointed time, as the watchman was
resting his feet upon the stove, the hereto
tore noiseless little instrument in one of the
drawers fairly turned itself loose with a
noise resembling the ringing of half dozen
door-be-ls mingled with the roar of steam
engine. The startled watchman sprang to
his feet and iushed to the windows, but,
gazing out, could see nothing, and again
taking his scat, was beginning to imagine
he had been mistaken, when clock No. Q
went through like performance. This
time the location was suspected, but the
cause not understood. When No. 8 began
there was new cause for wonder, rs the
noise had changed from one desk to another.
The matter now became too pcrplexlng for
rest, and No. aud No. were listened to
with equal astonishment. When tue last
one had ended the nights entertainment
the Joke was seen:

Roses.

1t Is not known from what country the
rose first came, but it has been common
from the earliest period. The variety of this
beautiful flower is infinite, and the study of
the various kinds forms one of the charms
OF botanty. There are several wild kinds
in the United States, among which arc the
prairie or Michigan rose, blooming in July,
and from which some of the cultivated pink
roses have descended. There is also the
dwarf rose, so called, which blooms from
May to July; the swamp rose, found usual
ly in damp ground, and which blooms from
June to September, and the early wild rose.
The Cherokee rose, much usct. in the South
ern States for hedges, was originally
brought to this country from China.
Among the cultivated roses. the red French
or Provence rose Is fine and attractive. 1t
was brought to France from Syria In tho
days Of the Crusades. The familiar and
luXuriant cabbage rose came from the eau.
casus, and the Denmark rose from Damas-
Gus. The poetical moss-rose was first
brought to England front Holland; the vel
low rose from Persia. With us the rose is
valuable for its ordinary fragrance and
beauty, but In the East it is a source of
valuable manufacture, and is valued for
The perfumes or oil extracted from 1t. The

About Dinners.

IA man should, If he ole having accent
ed an invitation to dinner, leave his cxecu-
tors in solemn charge to fill his place." said
Sidney Smith IN that vein Of burlcsuuc
solemDity with which his ample wit draped
ell triilcs. And the absnrdlty contains a
truth. Dinners arc 80 carefully measured;
they arc 80 important TO host and hostess
they are the results of so much care and
Thought, that every one is socially bound
to remember the engagement and keep it
with punctualiiy. If illness or necessary
absence from town cause the invtce to
regret, after having accepted, a note In the
first person should inform the hostess at the
earliest possible moment, that she may in
vite somebody to fill the place. Invitations
to dinners in New York, In the gay season,
are sent out fortnight in advance, and
should be answered quickly and positively.
Mover hint at any contingency, but give
your hostess the simple assurance that yon
will come or that you will not come. New
cr say that you "would come If so and sc"
Never attempt to give q dinner unless you
| are sure Of your cook and your waiter
that both arc very good (lnlcss you give
your dinner la Russo and order every
thing from a restaurant. These are not
the best dinners. The dishes arc apt to be
cold, greasy and poor unless you have the
very best restaurant in the world at hand).
The best dinners arc those given by excel
lent housckccpers, whose domestic service
Is perfect, who have cook who Is famous
for individual dishes and with a waiter
| who is at home and who can call in, If he
needs them, some men TO help him. Tho
American habit of hiring the same walters
who have just served al nelghbor's house
led to very curious mistake from foreign
nohleman. Looking at q well-known old
black man, who used to serve at all the
dinners, he remarked: "What a very
singular resemblance the colored race boar
to each other. Now could swear I had
! seen your butler at every dinner have
| eaten in New York" This habit of hiring
'sct of retaincrs" had never occurred to
| the nobleman. 'The little dinners" there
fore, of eight or ten, cooked in the house,
| served by tho servants of the family, simple
and short dinners are the most agreeable,
the most flattering as attentions, and require,
If given often, far greater care and ex-
penditure of thought than the one splendid
chow dinner.
