True Hospitality.

'aTo entertain has become such bur den," sighed an overtired woman in my hearing not long since, and immediately before my minds eye unrolled the pano- rama of modern hospitality. Elegance, to be surei But what has become of the genuine welcome that, sending radiant beam from eye to eye, lighted the glow of happiness in meeting souls? Sacri- feed to ceremony and display, and ex- haustsd women are takingto boarding to do away with the necessity of receiving friends beneath their roof, just because they feel they cannot afford in money or strength to entertain.
 If Mrs. A. chances to have 8 moro beautiful home than Mrs. B., it appears to Mrs. B. impossible that her friend Mrs. A. could accept her simpler envi- ronments without criticisms or disoom- fort, and so Mrs. A. is not invited to spend the day or week with one who Is mentally an inspiration to her and whose simple home would seem paradise to the woman weary with the care of su- psrfiuous things that Mrs. B. stands in such awe of, What might have been . cordial, helpful friendship becomes mere formal acquaintance, and life goes on unsunned by the sympathy and love that would have crowned close companion ship.
 True hospitality is a joy, not burden. It Is sincerely preferred; it Is simply re- oeived. The guests feel the welcome in every kindly glance and kindred thought and accept with like grace. And true hospitality entails no obligation, 1t car ries no debit and credit accounts, 1t is . 3oy to aivs CT to receive, ,->Houssksspse.

APPROPRIATION.

The wedding of MT Robert D. Peirce and Miss Emily D. Newton was solemn ized at Christ church on Thursday eve- ming at six o'clock. It proved one of the most beautiful ceremonies of the kind which the people of this town have ever had the pleasure of witnessing of the ceremony had arrived the ushers, Mir Rollin c. Newton, Jr., brother of the bride, and Mir Walter A. Volk, of New York, friend of the family, en- tered the vestry and notified the rector, Rev F. W. Barnett, who at once took his place in front of the altar, vested in surplice and white stole. At tue same time the bridesmaids, Miss Florence Thomson and Miss Eveline w. Brain erd, of New York, dressed in white muslin and carrying bouquets of pink sweet peas, who had been waiting ill the vestry, came into the church and passing down the aisle followed by the u,hers, while the organist, William H. Camp, played the wedding march from Lohengrin, met the bride and her father, Mir Rollin 0. Newton, at the south door. The procession then passed up the aisle to the sltar in the following order: First the ushers, then the bridesmaids and lastly the bride, who wore a gown of cream white India brocaded silk en traine and decollete and trimmed with lace, leaning on the arm of her father and holding in her hand bouquet of bride roses. The bridegroom and MT Lester Adams, of this town. his best man, met the bride at the chancel rail. The rector performed the ceremony h his usually impressive manner, the brides father giving her away. The organ burst forth in the joyous strains of the Mendelssohn wedding march as the procession left the church. The church was filled with the relatives and friends of the parties, most of the ladies being in evening dress. An abundance nf flowers, including roses, white lilies and white fox, and clematis, ferns and woodbine had been tastefully arranged in the decoration of the altar, chancel rail. pulpit and reading desk.
 There were many beautiful and costly presents, including silver, cut glass, china, pictures, books and Turkish and other rugs. There were also presents of money from the father of the groom and others.
 Among the guests from out of town were: Mrs Holland of New York, Mrs Virgil of Vineland, N. J., and MT and Mrs Vroman of Brookfeld.

The Oriental Dance.

The oriental dance on the Midway at the Worlds Fair, which is so disturbing MT Comstock and his society for the prevention of vice, is not, as many who have not seen it would suppose, an ex- hibition of nudity nor even leg show. An oriental dance, according to our idea of dance, Is not really dance but more body contortion; an exhibition of phy- sical endurance and @ succession of quick movements, rapid turns and ser pentine positions of the body. The feet of the dancer are rarely ever lifted from the floor and the dance is in no alarming degree sensuous. Very few Americans are fascinated with the dauco but go to see what it is, having vague idea that an oriental dance is something exquisite and intoxicating, gathering
 this idea undoubtedly, from the bible story of Herod and John the Baptist, but no American would ever cut any body's head off to see one of these orien- tai dances and they seldom pay the quarter the second time to see 1t again
 How Mir Comstock can trace any in crease of vice from the exhibition of oriental dancing on the Midway Plais- ance is more than most people can see, but then Anthony is just the man that would naturally get scared at thing like this, and he will probably faint away when he sees the mermaid dance in the Black Crook. If in Chicago and you want to see dancing, good dancing and lots of it, dancing that is graceful, artistic and delightfully."- entertaining go to the Auditorium and get front seats for America" J. G.

GREAT YEAR FOR MOSQUITOES.
It's the Female Birds That Make All the
 Trouble. Says One Expert.


 Trouble, Says One Expert.
 Mosquitoes? We'll, should say so," exclaimed genial Captain Veazey of the steamer Enoch Pratt. He had been asked if this was 8 good season for the birds. "Why, there are billions of them down in the tidewater counties of Maryland and Virginia. We caught 1t at Deals island recently. There was a land breeze, and the mosquitoes swarmed about the boat. Every one was lean and hungry and seemed to want a square meal, and from the way we felt when we got away they must have got it. They are bad in Somerset. I've got farm four miles from Princess Anne and wanted to go up and see if my wheat had been har- vested properly, but was afraid of the mosquitoes. haven't been yet"
 Just why the mosquitoes are so nu- merous this year no one seems to know. A great many persons attribute the in- crease to the warm, wet spring, while others say the mosquitoes are just like peaches-after two or three years in which they are comparatively scarce there will be- a tremendous crop. This was the view taken by party of steamboat men who sat on one of the wharves along Light street yesterday and grumbled about the hot weather. A mosquito which had just arrived on one of the bay boats landed on the neck of one of the party and was get ting his or rather her dinner when she was killed by vicious swipe of her vic- tim. "There's another 'skeeter' done for," remarked the murderer, with satis- faction. "He won't bother anybody else in this yere vale O tears"
 "She, not be-" corrected another. Don't you know that he 'skeeter' nev- CT bothers anybody? It's the females that make all the trouble in this world, and that applies to 'skeeters' just the same as 1t does to women. If all 'skeeters' were hes we wouldn't have any trouble from them, just the same as If all human beings were men we'd have things more quiet and peacefullike. A he 'skeeter' doesn't live long. Go down along the water in the spring and you will see bil- lions and billions of them, 'woolly heads, we call them. But you can get right in among them and have them so thick around you that you can't see through them, and you will not be bitten. They only live long enough to provide for the next seasons crops, and then they die, leaving the she 'skeeters' to make man. kind miserable till cold weather comes" ]" Baltimore Sun.

Do Babies Talk to One Another

Do babies talk to one anotaer? Who ever has watched an assemblage of young babies left freely to themselves as they are sometimes when several ht- tie carriages are drawn close together while their mothers are shopping or their nurses gossiping would be in- clined to give an affirmative answer to this question. In a certain large shop in New York there is an antechamber used by mothers to station the car riages of their little ones while they transact their business inside. The writer has counted over dozen of these equipages drawn up side by side, so that the tiny occupants had every op- portunity to exchange civilities. A boy in buttons, factotum of the establish ment, is devoted to the business of exer- cising oversight.
 The babies gaze at each other with wide open eyes, "coo" and make all sorts of indescribable sounds. They are re- markedly good and deeply interested in one another and apparently derive the greatest satisfaction from this social converse. Cats talk by infexions. It Is claimed by some philosophers that the human infant likewise employs this nat aral language. If so, words are not necessary to ideas, and babies can make themselves understood by their kind. Provided that such dialect exists and is of use to them, with what contempt must they regard the efforts of grown people to make "baby talk"-Childhood
