A LEADER OF HER SEX.
Powerful influence Improving I
Condition of Japan Women.

Condition of Japan
One of the most active and influential ad-
vocates of the advancement of woman in
Japan, says a writer In the, Chicago Record,
10 Nine. Oyama, wife Of Field Marshal
Oyama, who is at the same tina secretary of
war and commander-in-chief of the army.
The March!oness Oyama is a thorough Eng
fish scholar, having been sent to the United
States at the age of 16 with a dozen or
more girls to be educated. She spent nearly
ten years in this country, and was graduated
at Vassar college in 1888, be!ng the president
and valedictorlan of her class. She comes
from an excellent family, and by reason of
her beauty, her intelligence and ability is
probably, after the empress, the most i'm
pcrtant woman in Japan today. Her
nous soldier, and her sister, Nine. Sob
Yamahawa, also one of the prominent and in
fuential ladies of the court, is deyoting her
wealth and abilities to .benevolence. She
was a widow before she was 20 years old,
and being a woman OF great social accom-
plishments and personal attractions, has de-
clined many Offers Of marriage. She has
lived in Russia and in France, and speaks
the language Of both 10 those countries
perfectly, as well as English and Ger
man. For many yearsa she has bean
the confidential secretary OF the empress, and
acts as her interpreter during interviews with
persons of distinction. She also attends the
empress upon occasions Of and
in fact is seldom absent from her side. Dur
ing the early days Of the present regime,
when modern fashions We're being introduced
at court, Nine. Yamalfawa, because of her
familiarity with European manners and GUS
toms, was selected as a sort Of instructor
In etiquette and general manager OF
the ceremonies about the palace of the EN-
press. She receives the highest salary paid
TO any lady Of the COURT quite as much as
a member Of the ministry, but she spends 1t
all in charity. She supports a number Of
bright young ladies are ambitious 10
secure an education, and is always giving as
sistance to worthy students at the uni
versity.
Although Nine. Yamakawa adheres to the
Buddhist-Shinto faith, in which she was
born, her younger and more beautiful sister,
Nine. Oyama, was converted to Christianity
by Rev. DIR. Baker when she was very
young, and has given active and efficient
aid to missionary work in Japan. She has
considerable literary ability, and has written
a good deal for native publications, as we'll
as Tor periodicals In the United States and
England. Nine. Oyama has also been the
most active apostle Of dress reform in Japan.
Her influence had much TO do with the in
PRODUCTION OF the European costume for the
ladies of the court.
The effect Of European clothing upon jap
anese women is quite remarkable, for when
ever 1t is adopted modern manners and Gus
usually go with 1t. The educated Jap
anese say that when a native woman adopts |
modern dress she insists upon the same treat

piece Of steel before the eyes OF his listener.
"Well, this is the little thing which performs
the service OF giving a lady an additional
place to bestow and beautify with ornaments.

A nn1DAL SUPERSTITION.
Girls who Seek TO Have single Hairs
stitched Into Wedding towns.

One superstition that exists among sewing
girls and their associates of Paris and New
York. says the Sun. is that II the head dress
makers will stitch into wedding garments a
single hair from the head of each they will
become brides within a very short time after
the maiden who wears the bridal outfit then
in preparation. A young woman Of experience
and with a quick eye for what would interest
tho Suns readers said to a Sun reporter the
other evening:
Let me tell you Of this strange and yet
pretty superstition which exists among some
of the sewing girls in Paris and New York. |
am more familiar with the superstition as II
exists among the girls of some of the bigger
dry goods shops in New York City, and so in
this instance will confne my story TO them.
When the sewing girls in the different apart
ments and the girls behind the counters learn
that the house has received an order for a big
trosseau they besiege the head dressmakers
and ask them to stitch into the wedding gown
especially a single hair from their heads.
This hair is so fine that 1t is easily concealed
and cannot in any way mar the beautiful
often humor the girls.
II know positively that this superstition
exists. and l know positively that in many
wedding gowns. could they be picked to
pieces, would be found many hairs stitched
in. The girls. when they go home at
night, tell their girl friends that a hair
from their heads has been stitched into the
wedding gown of Miss ~So-and-Sc, and the
lucky one is Immediately env!ed. She will
be married very soon, her associates say.
MANY of the girls in the big shops secure
bits of the wedding gowns of fashionable
brides. They take them home and treasure
them up. They make collections of them,
and they point them out to their friends
in the neighborhood, saying, That was Mss
So-and-So's wedding gown and so they go

sssses the greatest collection of these bits is
a very important young woman in the eyes
Of her young woman friends. She is con-
sidered to be almost fashionable herself, be-
cause she is so near the throne. But by far
the p~rettiest superstition that | have yet
heard of is the one where a single hair from
so many of these shop girls is stitched into
these very expensive wedding gowns"

LOADS OF FISH.
An Interesting Letter From Fish
Commissioner Musser.

Salt Lake City, Nov. 10, 1885,
To the Editor of The Herald:
After learning from Mr. David Crafts
Of Deseret, Willard county. that carp
were very plentiful in the Sewer river
and lakelets near Deseret, l asked Mr.
II. A. Heath, fish and game commits
sioner of this county, if he would take
a couple of men down there and put in
few days SEEMING carp for the needy of
this city. He assented at once, and said
that no doubt his brother H. O. Heath
and W. H. Burton would go with him.
In his letter to me, Mr.. Crafts volun-
teered TO furnish boat and seine and per-
sonally work with the party from Salt
On the 9Th inst the above named three
gentlemen started for Deseret, the kindly
disposed Union Pacific Railway officials

which were so windy they could not

dressed carp tWeighing from four to
HIteen pounds Il piece of the Mirror
variety, and over 100 pounds of wild
geese and ducks. The carp were sent
direct to the Tithing Store House and
alstrlouted pro rata to the needy, as the
previous consignment from Utah Lake
nad been disposed Of under the diree-
ton of Bishop Joseph Keddington.
Captain Heath says the waters of the
Lower SEWER literally TEEN with carp,
suckers, etc, and that the carp caught
down there are much superior in tooth
some qualities to those taken in Utah
faKe- Some of the people salt down bar
RES OF carp for winter use. and Com
missioner Heath says that he and his
party ate salt carp put up by Mr.. Crafts
for family use. with genuine relish. The
largest carp caught in those waters
weighed q pounds dressed, which is
just is pounds lighter than one caught
near the mouth of Weber river, which
weighed As pounds net
The fish taken by Messrs. Heath ct al.
We're Selned in Carp lake, ten miles from
Deseret railway station. This lake is
about six miles in circumference. There
are Two other lakelets, viz, Swan lake,
some so miles in circumference, and Blue
SpectiVely twelve and eight miles from
Deseret. All these lakelets are southwest
of Deseret. The seine employed had three
and half inch mesh, hence the nom
capture of small fish.
Mr.. Heath speaks in the highest terms
Of the kindness Of Mr.. David Crafts and
his son Edward who furnished team,
boat seine. and worked like beavers
Tall without charged to make the ven
ture a successful one.
Before closing this historical note,
please allow me to thank Commissioner
Heath and party, the Messrs Crafts,
officials for their free and voluntary
help in this second effort to secure a
auantum of fish for the deserving poor
of this metropolis.-Very respectfully,

Commissioner.

Is really only another name for impure
blood, for no person is weak and ner-
vous whose blood is perfectly pure.
When the blood is full of the germs
Of disease, and lacking in the red cor
puscles which give it vitality, when it
fails to properly nourish the organs
and tissues of the body, what can you
expect but that tired feeling and ner-
vousness?
Of course Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni
gersally recognized as blood diseases,
sor which. Hoods Sarsaparilla, as the
3est blood purifier, is everywhere
aclnowled the greatest remedy.
Therefore, as Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for that condition of the blood
which causes Nervousness.
1t is false idea to think you are
curing your nervousness when you are
taking preparation which only quiets
yournerves! Iii like trying to drown
