into five sQuadrons, recognizable by
the color of their skirts. That of the
first squadron is light blue, for the
second violet, for the third green, for
the fourth red, and for the fifth yellow.
These frocks are accordion pleated and
wide, to allow them to fall in graceful
folds from the horses back.
Ordinarily the skirt is half hidden
by a white apron in front and back
but this part of the costume has been
discarded. With the colored skirt the

It Is low more than half century
since Japan was forcibly Opened" to
Intercourse with the world at large.
During the latter half Of that period
her progress in the arts Of civilization
has been marvellous, so that now she
is entitled to a place among the most
enlightened nations Of the world. She
has not yet, however, been treated as
an equal by America and the European
powers. The old treaties, imposed
upon her at the lannon's mouth, are
still to some extent in force; but their
day has reached its end. On July II
they lapsed, and new ones went into
effect, under which she will be, in in
ternational law, the full equal OF any
power in the world. The incident will
be of some diplomatic interest. 1t will
also be of much historic interest, as
marking the completion Of what has
probably been the most rapid and
marked national development on rec
ord.

EXTRAORDINARY
Surgical Triumph in Tendon GRATING
and Bone Setting.

and Bone Setting.
Two notable surgical operations
the first successful ones of their kind
in a New York hospital-were per,
formed at the Hospital for Cripples at
Forty-Second street and Lexington
avenue. BY one a Virginia girl, II
years old, who has been paralyzed for
eleven years, will regain the use Of her
limbs through tendon grating. In the
other patients thigh bone, dislocated
at birth, was taken from it's original
socket and placed fully two inches to
one side in a socket or acetabullum
made for the purpose. DR.. Royal WhA-
man, chief of clinic at the hospital,
operated. Matte Mayhem, the para
lytic, lost the use of both feet from
infantile paralysis In her third year.
DR.. Whitman first ascertained what
tendons were degenerate and then
made an incision in the thigh and en-
grated small parts of healthy tendons
where the degenerate parts had been
cut away. When the operation was
finished the feet were placed in plaster
casts. The doctors say the child will
have the full use Of her limbs in two
months. The operation is Of French
origin, and yet even in France sur
geons have not yet attempted to per-
form the operation on any but very
young children. The other operation
was what is called the Lorenz opera
ton, from DR.. Lorenz, a Frenchman
