The Whale Hunters of japan.

The whale fishery of Japan is car
ried on as regular business on both
coasts of the country; but more men
are employed, and the catch of whales
is larger off the eastern coast, especially
off Xii province.
The fishermen of the little town of
Koza have lookout-tower perched
upon the rocks, far up on the hillside.
A sentinel is kept constantly watching
for the spouting kayiri ("number, one
fish }, as the natives call the whale.
Long boats, holding from four to ten
men, are kept ready launched. These
hardy fellows row with tremendous
energy as if in a prize race. If the
whales are numerous, the men wait in
their boats, with sculls on their pins
and straps ready to slip ON at
moments notice, all in order to put out
to sea. A gay nag, with a curious de-
vice, floats at each stern. The whale
men are divided into scullers, netters,
and harpooners, or grappling-iron men.
Japanese never row, but scull with
curiously bent, long sweeps, which
swing on a half-round knob set into a
pivot, the handle end being usually
strapped at the proper height. The
device on each flag is different, and
spears, nets and grappling-irons arc
marked, so that the most skillful get
proper credit for their courage, sure
aim and celerity.
The boatmen are lightly clad in
short, sleeveless, cotton Jackets with
leggings, like greaves, reaching from
knee to ankle. Around their waists
are kits made Of coarse lice-straw.
The nets, which are about twenty feet
square, with meshes three feet wide
are made of tough, sea- grass rope, two
inches thick.
Twenty or thirty of these nets are
provided, and then lightly tied together,
so as to make one huge net, from four
hundred to six hundred feet long. As
soon as the signal from the tower is
given, the. boats put out, two by two,
each pair of the larger boats having
the net tackle, and all armed with
darts and spears. Rowing in front of
the whale, the net is dropped in his
path. If skillfully done, the huge fish
runs his nose or jaw into mesh. He
at once dives, and tries to shake off the
net. This he cannot do, for the square |
in which he is entangled immediately
breaks off from the rest, which is
hauled on board, ready for another |
drop. Should this also be successful.
the game is soon up with the whale.
Usually, the more he founders. the |
more tightly his terrible collars hold
him, entangling his fins and quickly
exhausting his strength. No sooner
does he rise for breath than the rowers
dash close to him, giving the harpoon-
ers an opportunity to hurl their darts
at his big body, until he looks like an
exaggerated pin-cushion. As his
struggles become weaker, the grap-
pling-irons are thrown on and the
boats tow the carcass near shore
To land their prize, the successful
hunters lash about it stout straw
ropes, and attach to them q cable

set UP on the beach. Then,
With gay and lively songs, they haul

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.


FasblOn Notes.
Cloth turbans are worn,
Black stockings are still in favor.
Red is very fashionable for small
children.
Little girls still wear " Mother Hub
bard " frocks and cloaks.
The round, plain-fnished muff is
varied by the satchel muff, trimmed
with tasseled silk cords.
Stockings are now more fashionable
finished with clocking of self-color
than with clocking of contrasting
color.
Rough-surfaced chine materials in
woolen mixtures of many colors are
fancy of the Parisians at the present
moment.
Many Fanchon and capote bonnets
are trimmed with ruches Of lace and
tiny flowers or loops of ribbon inside
the brim.
Black stockings are varied by stock
ings of high and strong colors, and by
stockings selected to match the colors
of costumes.
The leather straps with which some
cloth and tlanhel suits are fastened and
trimmed are either of red Russia or
yellow leather.
The latest caprice is TO fasten up the
front Of flannel and cloth suits with
straps of leather passing through
buckles of the same.
Each leading dressmaker of Paris
makes dresses according to his or her
own fancy, and, if possible, different
to all others. Hence the variety in
styles.
Stockings in plain colors are pre-
ferred to those in stripes, though Bay
adere stripping, in several colors, is
seen in both imported and American
hosiery.
Portiercs are now declared as neces-
sary in tasteful house-furnishing as
curtains, and, indeed, to great extent.
door-draperies are supplanting wooden
doors.
Natural plucked beaver is a popular
variety of fur for young ladies. Sets
of natural plucked beaver are in muffs
and shoulder-capes, otherwise known
as pelerinc capes.
Elegant mantles and cloaks lined
with quilted silk are made of brocaded
silk or velvet. The handsomest of
these wraps are trimmed with rich
black lace, while others are bordered
with fur
Lace and embroidery are as popular
for trimming winter dresses as they
were for summer suits for children.
Dark colored velvet or plush dresses
for little girls are ornamented in this
way.
Cashmere grows in favor for simple
dresses, and is worn in all the subdued
colors, as well as in black. New suits
or cashmere are prettily trimmed with
in silk or chenille, or with
bands of plush or velvet.
Sealskin is as fashionable as in past
seasons. The redingote of sealskin is
long and nearly tight-fitting. with
plain coat sleeves. Sealskin sacques
are even longer than they were, some
