Special Correspondence of Tbe Daily item Kobe, Japan, May 1 ?Once o year during tbe month of April, Japa* nese residents and visitors have the opportunity of witnessing the pret i tiest of Japanese dances, viz the Cherry Blossom dance. It is so called by foreigners becsuse it is always given just at the cherry blossom season, and also becsuse these flowers are introduced in one of the dances. The Japanese name for it, however, is Miyakoodori or Capital dance, indicating thereby that they too think it is the finest dance Unlike other dances this one is held in a theatre and controlled and managed by priests of tbe temple for the benefit of tbe temple. The instruc? tors io tbe dance are retired geisha, old women no longer fit for service who cso earn their living by training children to dance and sing. j Like in the old English theatres tbe choice seats are in the balcony for which tbe price of admission is 40 sen, whilst down in the pit amongst the masses it is only 20 sen In order to see both from near and afar 1 tried both places sittiug on the floor amongst the Japs in a position corresponding to our orchestra first row fiont. There are no seats on tbe main floor and no plaoe wasted for aisles. Simply one large floor inclin? ing siightiy covered with red blankets spresd thereon In the balcony benches are provided for foreigners On approaching the theatre site ono is reminded of going to a circus oo account of the numerous stands with sweets, &o , thereon in place of peanuts, the side shows adjoining and the many colored lanterns and torches There the similarity ceases for upon alighting from your riokisba you are invited to remove yoor shoes and have tbem checked same as you would check yoor coat or umbrella at borne. This yoo most do unless yoo can secore a pair of olotb slippers to tie over your shoes aud so avoid soiling or scratch ing the polished floor. ' The dancing commences at six o'clock and takes about 40 minutes, being repeated every hour till mid night. For footligbte large tallow candles are used, wbioh a man comes around aud trims between each dance. One thing peculiar about Japanese dsnces and theatres is that you are ?opposed to see only tbe dancers or actors aod are uot supposed to see the attendants, supers or assistants who walk aboot oo the stage at liberty doriog the performance, and abift the eceuery, trim candlea, &o I Tbe orcbeatra, we may call it, con? sists of ten samisen and the same oomber of miko (similar to a drum) Tbe samisen girls are on one side of tbe theatre on a raised platform whilat the miko girls are opposite, similarly placed Tbe dancing girls, 32 in number usually, though improperly called, geisha, make their eotrance from the rear of the ball, pass along the plat lorm 'n front of tbe eamiaeo players, ou '.o the stsge All movements are inouison, whilat from beginning to end the faces are devoid of ezprea aion j It is to the aceuery that the atten tion of a foreigner is mostly attract ed for in comparison this is far ahead of tbe other things connected with tbe theatre and considering the crude methods employed, it is worthy of the most favorable comment The opening dance after the en trance is given in front of the screens which, arranged in line across the ntage. serve as a drop curtain The girls tbetl exit to the bide of the stage, proper and not where they made their entrance. Upon a signal all the screens are drawn up, disclosing the interior of a tea house with sixteen of the girls therein These coroo dowu upon the stage floor by a pair of stairs and give a dance that is different ii urn the j first though to our uneducated eye it is but a continuation oi it as soon as the geisha come down the staira the attendants whom as I said before, we are not supposed to see, come ou and slide the flooring and walla of the house ioto the wings to prepare for the next scene The manipulation of the succeed? ing scenes is very difficult to describe aod yet are tbe prettieat features of tbe entertainment The beat way to deacribe it ia to say that the aoenery at the back falls flat upon tbe floor and forma tbe ground work of a beautiful garden in the midst of which flowers spring up and lanterns are seen brilliantly illuminating the scene The back ground abows an old castle This scene in ended by a curtain being drawn from the base of a atatoe by means of invisible wires which shuts off the whole stage. This scene symbolizes spring, which is now followed by summer, represented by fans which the geisha twirls with her deft fingers whilst dancing. The dropping of the curtains dis elopes an autumn scene, symbolized by the red maple leaves No It ?ge trees in this, but the real article It is a woodland scene with mountains in tbe roar Tbe moon ia rising in the distance, aud during tbe dance is seen slowly gliding upward in a roost natural manner The winter sceoe follows, repre? sented by a landscape covered with snow, whilst cedar furnishes the bor ders und trimmings of the stage It must be renumbered that during each sceno the dancing continues, the two sets of geisha alternating in the performance. Tbe last and the prettiest scene is the one from which the name of the dance is taken, and it is truly meri? torious of tbe praise given it The scenery rises as if it were hinged at tbe top and drawn by cords from the bottom, forming a ceiling from which are suspended hundreds of burning candles arrang? ed so as to give the appearance of a mass of light. Cherry trees in full bloom are moved in from tbe aide whilst over tbe beads of the eamisan and toiko giris large boughs of cherry blossoms are lowered. Tbe dancers have branches of cherry blossoms in their bands and also in their bair, whilst tbe wbolb looks like a vision from fairy land. Irving A. Ryttenberg. NEW STYLES. Hovel Idean For Cloth and Other j Clown*. I Sonic of the most elegant among the new costumes are made with a polonaise which is a sort of long, tight redingote laid In plaits at the back and with a train like a shirt. In trout it opens over the tablier uf a separate skirt. These polo? naises are seen on gowns of lace, liberty foulard and Louis Quinze taffeta aud also in plainer style for cloth costumes, being trimmed with stitching, straps or folds of satin and worn over a skirt of the same material. Embroideries nnd all sorts of rich ac? cessories are now employed upon cloth gowns, making them of great elegance. On the other hand, the newest tailor made gowns are of peau do soie, cut in the most severe and correct style. The* si mmkk toilet. akirt is plaiu except for stitched straps over the seams. The jacket is closed by a fly and has stitched revets and strap:* upon the seams and absolutely no other ornament. This is the extreme of fash? ion. Taffeta jackets of the same un? compromising character are appeariug as a wrap for general use. The illustration shows a costume of lilac voile. The skirt has two scant cir? cular flounces at the foot, bordered with stitching and headed by a baud of violet satin. It closes at the left side under a band of violet satin and is ornamented at the Lack with stitched shillings. The bodice Is gathered at tbe bolt behind and plaited diagonally in front and lias a plastron closed at the side by orna mentul buttons on a triolet satin band. The ;op of the bodice has two seant cir? cular rtlfHex with stitched edges and beaded by violet mm in. und the tight sleeves have bauds <>t' s.itin .-it th<- wrist. The belt is of satin, the collar of ?ipu>e. Tlif hot of lilac straw is trimmed with lilac tulle fastened ly n pearl buckle. A white (pirll mill n cluster nf azaleas com plete the decoration.

Five years ago one Loui*' Webb was killed by a gunshot fired by some one lying in outbnsh. A dozen grand juries have met since tbat time and no indictment was found until tbe last sitting a few days ago, when Peter James Tatum, a white man, was indicted for murder. Tatum has lived near Prattsviilo on his farm uninterruptedly for many vain; he has been susi>eoted of the. Webb murder all along, but sufllcient evidence to indict him was not secured until the last meeting of the grand jury. The proceedings on Monday are intended to test the evidence and endeavor to se? cure bail for the defendant. GIRL SHOOTS_HER FATHER. Fired Load or Slugs Into Him For Heut lug Her Mother.

CATARRH CAN BE CURED BY Johnston's Sarsaparilla QUART BOTTLES. "DANGER IN THIS EARTH AND AIR; DANGER EVERYWHERE.'' A Wl?e and Venerable Doctor Talk* abont Advanced Science. In a loading hotel, in a preat city, a famous and agvd physician was convers? ing. Listening to his wise and sententious discourse, were a group of well dressed men, evidently lawyers, business men and commercial traveler*. My firm belief, is 11 that medical science is certain yet to show that all dis? eases without exception are caused by invisible germs which are living" organ? isms. Here is the germ of that terrible disease diphtheria. Here is the bacillus of typhoid fever; and here is the still more dreadful bacillus of tubercle which causes that most destructive of all diseases, consumption. This of that very common and supposed incurable disease, catarrh." | "I wish. Doctor,"' said the traveling man, "that you would tell us about catarrh. I have had it for years, and I am thoroughly discouraged." The Doctor answered. "Catarrh, like diphtheria, consumption, typhoid fever, and a host of other diseases, is the result of a microbe invading the blood and attacking specially the mucous membrane. This foul and most disgusting disease is especially prevalent in the United States and it is rare to meet one who is not, or has not been troubled more or less with it. Uow often is he or she obliged to remain at home from pleasant entertainments, deprive themselves of many intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising from ca tarrhal affections. In its worst phase, the patient becomes loathsome both to himself and his friends. 441 believe," continued this great physician, 44that the true way to heal ca? tarrh is to medicate the bk>od. This can be done only by powerful alteratives which act as blood purifiers." Betsy A. Marett, of Manistee, Manistee Co., Mich., writes: Dear Sirs:?For ten years I was a sufferer from geueral debility and chronic catarrh. My face was pale as death. I was weak and short of breath. I could hardly walk, I was so dizzy and had a ringing in my head all the time. My hands and feet were always cold. My appetite was very poor. On getting up in the morning, my head swam so I was often obliged to lie down again. I had awful pains in the small of my back. 1 had a continual feeling of tiredness. My muscular power was almost entirely gone, and 1 couldn't go half a dozes steps without stopping to rest, and often that much exercise caused me to have a pain in my side. It seemed as though the blood had left my veins. The doc? tors said my blood had all turned to water. I had given up all hope of ever get? ting well. I tried the best physicians in the state, but failed to get any relief. My husband got me a bottle of Johnston's Sarsaparilla. I took it, and then I bought another. When these had been used, I was somewhat improved in health. I continued its use, and felt I was growing stronger; my sleep was re? freshing, and it seemed as if I could feel new blood moving through my veins. I kept on taking it, and now consider myself a well and rugged woman. I work all the time, and am happy. I am positive that the Sarsapari1 la saved my life. The sick headaches I have had since childhood, have disappeared, and my ca? tarrh has almost entirely left me. I cannot be too thankful for what Johnstons Sarsaparilla has done for me. I recommend all women who have sick head? aches to use your Sarsaparilla. aCXClZXG-Air SRT70> COMPAWY, DETROIT, MICH. [ J. S.

Summer Hat* und the \eneit Tri?s niinKrn For Them. White ?rill predominate among summer hats. A hat entirely of dead white U rather trying to the complexion, but trimmed with black or colors it is usually becoming. Straws of many delicate STRAW CAPOTE. tones are also shown and are immensely trimmed with crepe de chine, mousseline de soie and chiffon. , Fruit is the season's chief millinery ^novelty. Grapes?blue, purple and green ?with foliage, are first favorites, and next come cherries in all the natural shades. There are also charming wreaths and trails of strawberries, fruit and leaves together, which are most effective on wide brimmed straw hats of the rus? tic order. Among flowers immense roses, poppies and orchids predominate. Foli? age is well represented, both plain and variegated, and a great deal of maiden? hair fern is used. Violets, so long a fa? vorite, 5till retain their prestige. Veils with flat velvet spots are more worn than those with chenille dots, but the velvet particles, which are only stuck on the net. rue apt to drop off, while the chenille dots, which are woven into the tissue, retain their position. A picture la given, of a hat of ficelle lace straw. It has a crown of violets, and the brim, which is much rippled and twisted, is lined with shirred mauve mousseline de soie. In front is a clus? ter of violets, the stems of-Jivhich are turned upward to form an erect aigret. This hat accompanies a tailor m?de gown of fawn cloth, trimmed with large pearl I buttons. JtTUC Ciioi.lft PtiUr Teeth of Antiquity. Tin* manufacture and use of false teeth are undoubtedly of great an? tiquity. The ancient Egyptians were no ti'CUO dentists. .!.?.\?bones of mum? mies have been found with false teeth In them, and also with teeth tilled with gold. Tiie undent Greeks also knew how to fill teeth with gold; also how to make raise teeth.
