A STORY FROM PARIS.
The American Colony Tell Jokes on
DIR. Tying and Ambassador Porter.

When our minister Horace Porter.
arrived in Paris. writes Eli Perkins. the
American colony, headed by DR.. Tying.
gave him breakfast at the Grand Ho-
tel. The breakfast was at IL o'clock
and all Paris was talking about il.
Well, the hour finally arrived. the
breakfast was steaming hot and the
whole colony were assembled, but no
minister appeared. Imagine a dinner
and speech awaiting Horace Porter!
AT 1880 DR.. Tying sent his son post
haste to the American legation. When
he entered Porters private reception
room, TO his amazement he found the
general in full morning dress. hat in
hand, sitting on chair fast asleep.
When awakened the general rubbed his
eyes and half dazed exclaimed:
What time is it?"
Eleven thirty" said young Tying.
"and they're waiting for you"
Hurriedly jumping into q cab our
minister rushed to the breakfast and
took his seat at the right of DR.. Tying
Looking down the smiling table the
General said
MY uedf american 1rlendS, i am
grieved at my delay. ! want 10 apolo-
gize TO you all for my seeming discour-
tesy of being late, but i have an excuse
and you must let me give it, Many OF
you know that DIR. Tying used to be our
family clergyman. My wife had pew
in his church and every Sunday morn
ing about this hour. IL o'clock, we oc-
cupied that pew, awaiting Or. Tying TO
commence his sermon. Brother Tyng's
sermon was an hour of sweet rest TO me.
1t was so soothing that | often dozed
away till awakened by the benedction.
Well, when IL o'clock came today DR..
Tying was on my mind. When | sat
down in the chair the old force of habit
came back to me and l was lost in
sweet Sleep"
When the laughter subsidized Gen. Por-
ter said: DIR. Tying will vouch for what
Ishave said and he will remember how
he once came TO me in New York and
said:
" General. l do not blame you for
sleeping. Indeed, ] am not fully salts
fed viii my sermons myself. Now.
what shall do with them? Shall put
more fire into them?'
We'll, / said, 1T might be well for
the clergy generally to put more fire
into their sermons. but i'm some cases it
would be better to put more sermons

The shell fish commissioners and Pilot
Commissioner Burrough are just now
engaged in a lively controversy over
the fencing in OF the oyster beds. 1t
appears that the Connecticut parties
who lease the beds have staked off their
planted ground with scantlings that
are distinct menace to the navigation
Of small craft. The young trees that
used to mark the oyster beds bent easily
when bumped by even rowboat and
gave way without doing any harm. But
the scantlings used by the Connecticut
proprietors Of our Rhode Island oyster
beds are big and rigid. and II in heavy
wind or sea are run against by small
yacht or launch are likely to do
great deal of damage and perhaps cap
size the boat. There has been a good
deal of complaint about the matter, and
1t is not clear that the Connecticut folk
have any authority for placing such
distractions in the channel The shell
fish commissioners are looking into the
matter. and meantime the pilot COM
missioner is fighting hard to have the
channel cleared Can buoys have been
suggested v replace the scantlings. but
the pilot commissioner makes objection
to their use, as they would lead to con-
fusion of navigators, since the can buoy |
in several places marks important turns |
In the channel. Besides. can buoy |
would, IL anything, be worse than the |
scantlings for a small sailing vessel or |
launch 10 bump against in fog. A can
buoy is a mighty iron box that Il
doesn't do TO try to ram. If painted /
yellow, as proposed, our bay filled with
can buoys would look like a field OF |
squashes In the ripening fall. Some
thing else must evidently be proposed
and the channel must be cleared 1t is
odd. anyhow. that the oyster bed les
sees can't arrange to locate the beds
when they want to harvest the crop
without fences.

The proposition to tax bicycles is ur
again before our city council and is
| likely to create "A warm discussion. Sc
far as bicycles are property they ought
to stand their proportionate share of
the taxes, which, however. would be a
very small item. But the argument
that bicycles should be taxed by license
to support the highways that they use
Is not sound. since no expense of high
way keeping can be charged against
the wheel. Some folks claim that the
wheelmen are persistent in their de-
mand for the best and most costly
roads, and so ought to beltaxed TO helm
pay the expense they are so insistent 10
put the city TO. But this Is not at all
clear. While the bicyclers want the
roads in prime condition for themselves.
they are by no means the only. or even
the chief, gamers by the Improvement.
Indeed their work is more of the char
acter of the missionary. They have
been largely instrumental I'm bringing
about improved highway conditions
that are of advantage to all the rest of
us. No one would pretend TO say that
we would be willing to go back TO poor
roads II every bicycle were sent To the
junk shop. Rather than argue that be-
cause the bicycle folk got good roads

we should be willing TO admit that be-
cause they got good roads for every |

ton for their services. Perhaps the

of making every kind of property tax.

Fan apply TO tax the wheel lies in the

But this would probably be hard TO

Japanese fancy dress party is not

students of one of the New York art
schools gave a very pretty one not long
ago. One of the teachers in the school
had spent a short time in Japan and
was able to give many suggestions as
to costumes and how to serve the re-
freshments.
Doubtless in the big studio building
there is some other bachelor girl who Is
clever with water colors. For favors
done by the prospective hostess she
may be willing to prepare dainty hand
painted menu cards with a hospitable
quotation of welcome addressed to the
guests. II the hostess writes. il may
be a verse or line from her favorite
poet; If musician, bar from a pas
sage In her favorite opera.
Not more than three or four guests
are possible at a studio luncheon, and
the hostess should try to invite only
such people as she knows will be har-
monious. She will thus avoid the mortI-
fications that befelI one bachelor girl
who asked two women both patrons OF
course of lectures which she had been
giving on physical culture, but one Of
whom considered herself socially much
the others superior. The frigidity OF
this one woman quite spoiled the pleas
ure of the hostess and her guests.
Very often the bachelor girl wishes
to cancel her social obligations in a
less formal way. For this purpose
studio tea is an affair that Is always
sure to command appreciation. The in
vitation may be sent on the hostess
