TRUE HOSPITALITY.

Hospitality, in ante bellumF
days, was one of the leading fea-
lures of Southern social life.
Open house was kept by every
one who pretended to even COM
Portable circumstances. Far and
wide, the Southern matron was
known and admired for her grace
and tact in dispensing creature
comforts to all who chose to be-
come her guest. But the good
old times, OF lavish entertainment
passed away forever with the Old
South, because means and train
ed domestic servants were swept
away with the war, and Southern
women had not learned independ-
ence.
A new South has arisen-pros-
porous, progressive and thor
oughly up-to-date, but-alasl
the charming grace of hospitality
seems lacking. We have means
but trustworthy servants are
lacking, and few care to put
themselves to the trouble to en-
terrain, except where a return of
courtesies is q certainty, which,
by the way, is not hospitality at
ali. The true meaning OF the
word is giving welcome to home
and board, without expecting re-
enumeration or return in any form.
This was freely given by our pa
rents and grandparents, and
Notwithstanding the change in
environments, We can practice
the same virtue. Not with the
ease, or upon the lavish scale as
of yore, but we can cordially well
come both friend and stranger to
our homes, and divide with them
meat and drink-no matter how
simple be our way of living.
The trouble is, we cling to the
old idea of entertaining in elegant
style and for our own glory. Our
true friends would prefer having
US give them hearty welcome,
rather than have US display the
size of our pocket books, or our
collections in silver and china.
Make visitors welcome, and abb
stain from worry or useless ex-
travagance and you fulfill the
scrlptural injunction to be hospi-

A Trip To Japan.

about the first of May, and after
a voyage of three days arrived
at Hong Kong.
The ely of Hong Kong is
known as Victoria and is situated
on a beautiful harbor. The most
wonderful sight that meets ones
eye there is THE Peak" This
isfeached by a tram-via, that is,
drawn up by means at a cable to
the top. The road is nearly per-
pendicular. The houses are scat
tered over very steep hills, but
we can easily travel up these hills
in chairs, with long poles attach
ed. carried on the shoulders of
the Chinese coolies. There are
about 800, 600 Chinese in Victoria,
but as Great Britain owns the city
and island, there are a great
many English there, in fact, one
would think he was in a European
city.
The police in the city are Eng
iish and Indians. The Indians
are called .'Sikhs,' and are very
tall and strong and the Chinese
fear and respect them. During
my stay there, the Plague was
very bad, in fact, hundreds of
Chinese died every day. The
Chinese. would dump their dead
in the streets at night in order to
avoid the quarantine Of their
homes. In some cases the Eng
lish would destroy nearly every
in an infected house.

one of the most important streets

object and upon closer inspection

years of age who had died the
before and had been thrown

to four days after death are found
and when removed are so deeom-
posed that parts drop from them.
