The Cherry Blossom Dance.
Interesting Description of the
Japanese Spring Festival.
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.

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.

Prattsvm.i.k, Ahi., May it). ?A sensa?
tional habeas corpus trial will be held
here next Monday. Five years ago one
Loui*' Webb was killed by a gunshot

Peter James Tatum, a white man, was
indicted for murder.
Tatum has lived near Prattsviilo on

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.

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.

MILLINERY HINTS.
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.
There is plentiful evidence of skilled
dentistry among the Hornaus, for many
of the Latin author* have references
to t'alsi- teeth. In (he "Roman Laws of
the Tvclve Ttbie**' there are distinct
reference* to artificial teeth. The first
part of Xo 10 forbids useless expense
at funerals in general, but an exception
is permitted by No. 11. which allows
thai the roUI fillings of false teeth or
the gold with Which* they were bound
should be hurled or burned with the

A literal y man who has Just returned
from the anthracite coal region of
Pennsylvania says that he found a
great quantity of "local color" there,
lie also says he heard the most tin
grammatical sentence while there that
ever came under his notice. lie was
strolling through a mining village in
Bcbuylklll county when he heard a wo?
man railing, und at some distance off
saw several children who were playing
in the road. Wheu he reached thvui.
he said kindly:
"Your mother is calling you. cliil
dreu."'
The largest child, a girl of about 10
years, turned to him and said:
"Her ain't a callin we: us don't be?
long to she."?New York Times.
