ON NEW FOOTING
Treaty Between the United States an1
Japan Went Into Effect Monday.
Other Countrie. with which Japan Has
Mad. Treaties Arei Great Britain. Ger
many, France, Russia, Austria, Italy,
spain. Portugal and belgium.

WASHINGTON, July IL. A new treaty
between the United States and Japan
went into effect Monday, at which time
also new treaties between Japan and
nearly all OF the countries of Europe
and some of the South American ro-
publics also went into effect. Ii is an
event of far-reaching Importance in
the relations between Japan and the
United States, as it does away with the
treaty methods which have been in
vogue for nearly 80 years and substi.
tutcs an entirely new method of pro-
cecdure. The same is true in tho re
lations of Japan with other countries.
Taken as a whole the many new treat
les which went into effect Monday
place Japan on entirely new footing
with the world at large, as she Is
recognized for the first time as an
equal in every respect.
The treaty with this country was
made November -, 1894, in Washing.
ton. between Secretary Gresham and
Minister kureno, who then represent
ed Japan here. The changes IL made
were SO far-reaching that it was deter
mined the treaty should not go into
operation until July IL, 1892
The countries with which Japan haa
made new treaties are the United
States, Great Britain, Germany, France.
Russia, Austria. Italy, Spain, Portugal.
Holland, Denmark. sweden
and Norway, Switzerland and Peru.
All of these went into effect Monday ex-
,ept those with France and Austria,
which are deferred until August T.
With most of these countries Japan
iad treaty relations before, but they
we're crude and unsatisfactory.

KID GLOVES.
Interesting Facts About the Skins Which
Cover OF Adorn the Hands.

Interesting Facts About the Skins which
Cover OF Adorn the Hands.
Ba-efooted boys and hens form curl
Gus partnership in the making Of pair
of fine gloves.
They work together in preparing the
skins for the hands Of the fashionable
woman who rushes to the stores every
time new shade of glove is announced.
Thousands of dozens of hens eggs are
used in curing the hides, and thousands
of boys are employed to work the skins
in clear water by treading on them for
several hours
When a woman buys pair OF gloves,
she speaks of her purchase as kids. "
If the clerk who sold her the kid"
gloves knew the secrets of the glove
making business, he might surprise his
fair customer by telling her that those
beautiful, soft, smooth fitting kid"
gloves came from the shoulders and
belly of 3weeks-old colt whose neck
was slit on the plains of Russia, and
whose tender hide was shipped with
huge bundles of other colts hides to
France, where they were made up into
kid" gloves, or he might with equal
regard to the truth tell her that those
darted from tree to tree in South Amer
ica on the back of a ring tailed mon
key. And if he made the rounds of the
store and could distinguish one skin
from another he could point out kid
gloves made from the SKINS of kangaroos
from Australian lambs or sheep from
Ohio or Spain or EnSlEaos calves from
India, muskrats from anywhere, musk
oxen from China and other parts OF
Asia; rats, cats and Newfoundland pup
pies.
But tho little Russian colt, the four
footed baby from the plains where the
Cossacks live the colt from the steppes
of Siberia. where horses are raised by
the thousand, supply the skins which
are the favorites at present with the
glovemakers. Experts say that the colt
skin makes n better, stronger, finer glove
than real kidskin, and as the colt is
little fellow only weeks old when he
is killed but a small amount of skin can
be made into gloves, so that the price is
about rs high.
But, after all, the real kid, the live
~ infant of the goats which live in
France, Switzerland, Spain and Italy,
furnishes the best, finest and most ex-
pensive gloves, and nearly 10000, 900
kids are sacrificed every year in order
that women and men may cramp their
hands in wrinkleless, delicate hued
gloves. -Chicago Record.
