Then we heard of an apartment hotel 
kept by an American, where we en- 
gaged a suite of rooms and lived happy 
ever after. He directed us to a res- 
taurant at the end of the short street 
that catered to Americans, and where 
at dinner on the first day we enjoyed 
tender and juicy beefsteaks; rare, and 
cooked to the queen’s taste, and served 
with mushrooms and baked potato, com 
bread and other things long forgotten. 
“This is fine,” said my friend, “and 
if we could have buckwheat cakes and 
sausage for breakfast, life would be 
worth living.” Then, like lightning 
from a clear sky the waiter said: 
“Buckveet, ble noir, oui, oui, can 
’ave, messieures, sauciesse, oui, oui, de- 
jeuner, can ’ave!” And so, next morn- 
ing, and for many mornings after, we 
had buckwheat cakes and sausage, and 
soft-boiled eggs served in a way that 
reminded us daily of home, sweet home ! 
One of the first things we did after 
our arrival in Paris was to visit the 
Museum of Natural History, in the 
Jardin des Plantes, where it was our 
privilege and great pleasure to ex- 
amine the type specimens of black bass 
from the United States, and which are 
still in a good state of preservation. 
The oldest was a small-mouth black 
bass sent to Lacepede, the French 
ichthyologist, in 1802, who named it 
Micropterus dolomieu. We also ex- 
amined the several specimens of both 
small-mouth and large-mouth -black bass 
sent to Paris twenty years later by Le 
Sueur and Milbert, French naturalists, 
when traveling in the United States. 
At that time not much attention was 
given to the fish fauna of our coun- 
try by American naturalists. For this 
reason the twio most important amd 
most characteristic game-fishes of 
America have received generic and spe- 
cific scientific names wholly erroneous, 
inappropriate and misleading, and in no 
sense descriptive. The generic title, 
Micropterus, was bestowed through mis- 
conception and misapprehension. The 
small-mouth bass bears the name of a 
Frenchman, Dolomieu, while the large- 
mouth bass was christened salmoides, 
meaning salmon-like. And the worst 
of it is that they must assume these ob- 
jectionable names in deference to the 
immutable law of priority, now and 
forever, world without end. 
However, in the last anaylsis, it is 
aipparent that the angler need pay no 
attention to these Greco-Franco-Latin 
names, inasmuch as they are, as the 
lawyers have it, incompetent, irrele- 
vant and immaterial so far as he is 
concerned, and he can very well rest 
content with the vernacular and de- 
scriptive names of small-mouth black 
bass and large-mouth black bass. And 
by the same token the salt water angler 
can enjoy the capture of the fluke and 
the flounder, whose familiar names are 
household words, and should not worry 
about their full-dress, scientific society 
names of Glyptocephalus cynoglossus 
and Pseudopleuronectes americanus.

Jardin des Plantes we visited,

Polytechnique, School of Medicine and 
other educational institutions. In the 
city proper, in company with friends, 
we devoted much of our time to the 
Louvre and other art galleries. We 
also visited the Hotel Cluny, with its 
historical collections, the Hotel des Inva- 
lides, with the remarkable tomb of 
Napoleon, and other places of note. 
They were all very interesting and in- 
structive, but we loved to linger in the 
Louvre, whose art treasures were a 
never-ending delight. The gem of the 
Louvre was Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona 
Lisa. This easel-picture was a half 
length portrait of the third wife of 
Zanobi del Giocondo. Her fascinating 
and mystic smile has captivated and 
enraptured innumerable art-loving en- 
thusiasts. At odd times we sauntered 
through the Gardens of the Tuileries 
and the Champs-Elysees, and drove 
through the Bois de Boulogne, and for 
a change we strolled along the boule- 
vards or visited the wonderful shops 
of the Rue de la Paix, Rivoli, Royale 
and other busy streets, and admired the 
fine displays of jewelry, ornaments, 
bric-a-brac and attractive rarities seen 
no where else but in Paris. 
One did not have far to go for amuse- 
ment in the evening. Theaters of every 
degree of excellence or mediocrity were 
numerous, from those for grand opera, 
opera bouffe and legitimate -drama to 
those for vaudeville and the cafe 
chantant. The best vaudeville thea- 
ters furnished a repertoire of pleasing 
acts by the best artistes in the pro- 
fession, some of whom never left 
Paris. Houses like the Folies Bergere 
and the Moulin Rouge did not rank so 
high, but could be compared favorably 
with the American vaudeville of the 
present day. Then came the music 
halls, cabarets, restaurants and the 
cafe chantant, where one could smoke 
or indulge in refreshment while enjoy- 
ing the performance. 
There were public balls from the 
most select and fashionable to the stu- 
dent balls in the Latin Quarter, and 
dancing in the restaurants and cabarets, 
and 'of a character to suit the fastidious 
or those more easily pleased; but while 
there was much gayety and hilarity in- 
dulged in, I have seen more to be 
ashamed of in our own restaurants and 
cabarets of the present day than in 
those of Paris. During our visit the 
“can-can” was the vogue in the Latin 
Quarter, and while the dancing was 
conducted with much vigor and merri- 
ment, ond some high kicking, there was 
really nothing objectionable, and noth- 
ing quite so immodest as the “shimmy” 
of our own Jazz dances. Paris is gay, 
but not so wicked as other European 
capitals, or for that matter as some of 
our -own largest cities, notwithstanding 
a prevalent opinion to the contrary. 
While the grisettes and cocottes, or 
shop and working girls of Paris, could 
not, as a class, be considered handsome, 
they were, nevertheless, quite chic and 
attractive, were always dressed neatly 
and in exceeding good taste, and on the 
streets conducted themselves with mod- 
esty and decorum, which, by the way, 
is more than can be said of some of our 
own pretty girls in this demoralized age.
