Special Correspondence of The Daily item Kobe, Japan, May 1 ?Once a year during the month of April, Japa? nese residents and visitors have the opportunity of witnessing the pret tieet of Japauese dances, viz the Cherry Blossom dance. It is so called by foreigners because it is always given just at the cherry blossom season, and also because 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 thiuk it is the finest dance Unlike other dances this one is held in a theatre and controlled and managed by priests of the temple for the benefit of the temple. The instruc? tors in the dance are retired geisha, old women no longer fit for service who cao earn their living by training children to dance and sing. Like in the old English theatres the choice seats are in the balcony for which the 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 pluces sitting on the floor amougst the Japs iu a position corresponding to our orchestra first row ftoot. There are no seats on the msin floor and no place wasted for aisles. Simply one largo floor inclin ing eiightiy covered with red blankets spread thereon In the balcony benches are provided for foreigners On approaching the theatre Bite ono is reminded of going to a circus on account of the numerous st?nde with sweets, &o , thereon in place of peanuts, the side shows adjoining aod the many colored lanterns and torches There the similarity ceasea for opon alighting from your riokisba you are invited to remove your shoes sod have tbem checked same as yoo woold check yoor coat or umbrella at home. This yoo most do unless yoo can seoore a pair of olotb slippers to tie over your shoes aud so avoid soiling or scratch ing the polished floor. The danoiog commences at aiz o'clock aod takes about 40 minutes, being repeated every hour till mid night. For footlights large tallow candles are used, which a man comes around aud trims between each dance. One thing peculiar about Japanese dances and theatres is that you are supposed to see only the dancers or actors aod are not supposed to see the attendants, supers or assistants who walk about on the stage at liberty during the performance, and shift the soeuery, trim candlea, &o The orchestra, we may call it, con? sists of ten samisen and the same oomber of miko (similar to a drum) Tbe samisen girls sre on one side of the theatre on a raised platform rhilst 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? form 'n front of the samisen players, ou to the stage All movements are inouison, whilst from beginning to eod the faces are devoid of ezpres sion It is to the sceuery that the atten tion of a foreigner is mostly attract ed for in comparison this is far ahead of the other things coonected with tbe theatre and considering the crude methods employed, it is worthy of the moat favorable comment The opeuiog dance after tho en trance is given in front of lbs screens which, arranged in line across tbe stage, serve as a drop curtain The girls then 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 or the girls therein These curno down upon the stage floor by a pair of stairs and give a dance that is dift'erent from the Mist though to our uneducated eye it is but a continuation oi it as soon aB the geisha come down the stairs the attendants whom as I said before, wu are not supposed to see, come ou and slide the flooring and walls of the house ioto the wings to prepsre for the next scene The manipulation of the succeed ing scenes is very difficult to describe aod yet are tbe prettiest features of tbe entertainment The beat way to desoribe it is to say tbst tbe eoenery at the back falls flat opon tbe floor and forms tbe groood work of a beaotiful garden in the midst of which flowers spring op aod lanterns are seen brilliantly illuminating the scene The bsck ground shows so old osstla This scene is ended by a cortsin being drawn from the base of a atatoe by means of invisible wires which shuts off tbe whole stsge. 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 cloves an autumn scene, symbolized by the red maple leaves No ettge trees in this, but the real article It is a woodland scene with mountains in the rear The moon is rising in the distance, and during tho dance ia seen slowly gliding upward io a roost natural manner The wiuter scene follows, repre? sented by a landscape covered with snow, whilst cedar furnishes the bor ders nod trimmings of the stage It must be remembered that during each sceno the dancing continues, the two sets of geisha alternating in the performance. The last and the prettiest scene is the one from which the name of the dance is taken, and it is truly meri? torious of the praise given it The scenery rises as if it were hinged at the top and drawn by cords from the bottom, forming a ceiling from which are suspended hundreds of buruing candles arrang? ed so as to give the appearance of a mass of light. Cherry trees in full bloom are moved in from tbe side whilst over the heads of the aamisan and roiko giris large boughs of cherry blossoms are lowered. Tbe dancers have branches of cherry blossoms in their bauds and also in their hair, whilst tbe whole looks like a vision from fairy land. Irving A. Rettenberg. NEW STYLES. Hovel Idea* For Cloth nnd Other Gown*. Some 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 skirt. In trout it opens over the tablier of a separate skirt. These polo? naises are teen on gowns of lace, liberty foulard and Louis Quinze taffeta and also In plainer si.vie for cloth costumes, being trimmed with stitching, straps or folds of satin and worn over a skirt of the same material. Embroideries and 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 de soie, cut in | the most severe and correct style. The* SUMM Kit TOILET. ekirt Is plain except for stitched straps over the seams*. Tbe jacket is closed by a fly and has stitched revers 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 os 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 beaded by a band of violet satin. It closes at the left side under a band of violet antin and is ornamented at tbe Lack with stitched shillings. The bodice \? gathered nt tbe belt behind and plaited diagonally in front and has a plastroii cloned at the side by orna? mental buttons on a triolet satin band. The 10p of the bodice has two scant cir? cular ruflles with stitched edges and headed by violet snthl, lind tilt" tight sleeve* htive blind* >>( s.ilin :i! the wrist.

"DANCER IN THE KARTH AND Alii; iAMU EVEKYWIIEBB." A W'lme and Venerable Doctor TalkM about Advanced Science. In a leading hotel, in a preat city, a famous and aged 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 "that medical science is certain yet to show thai all dis? eases without exception are caused by invisible germs which are living organ? isms. Here is the germ of that terrible d isease diphtheria. Here is the bacillus of typhoid fever; and here is the still luore 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.51 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. How 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. " I believe," continued this great physician, "that the true way to heal ca? tarrh is to medicate the blood. This can be done only by powerful alterativea 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 doze* 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 low consider mvself a well and rugged woman. I work all the time, and am happy. Iam positive that the SarsapariMa 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 Johnston's Sarsaparilla has done for me. I recommend all women who have sick head? aches to use your Sarsaparilla. MlCIIXCt^IV JDRXJOr COMPACT, DETROIT, MICH. J. S. HUGHSON & CO.
