MAKE 1T GENERAL.

An agreement, which is published
in another column of today's Signal,
has been signed by most of the lead
ing business houses of the city and
will no doubt receive the endorse
ment of others, for the early closing
of their business. Such regulation,
if adopted and strictly observed,
would in no manner change the pres
ent business conditions, customers
would soon learn to adapt their wants
to the new regulations and would
govern themselves accordingly. The
movement is good one, for there is
no valid reason why the man who
goes to work at Z o'clock in the
morning should be compelled to re-.
main there fourteen or fifteen hours,
and be deprived of needed recrea-
ton. In fact, in allowing EMPLOYEES
their time in proper hours better
service can be depended upon, and
proprietors can make profitable use
of the extra hours by meeting and
discussing affairs and exchanging
ideas for general good-and inciden-
tally get better acquainted with their
wives and children. But the move
to be of any benefit must be unan-
imous and the rules adopted strictly
complied with.

She Keens Bees.

Bee keeping is an occupation which
the few women who have taken it up
find both pleasurable and profitable
One Of those who have made a signal
success at it is Mrs. N. L. Stow of

wife Of exAlderman Stow, has fully

quent contributor to bee journals.
She started in 1884 with four hives
at her home in Ashland avenue. Soon
they had multiplied to twenty. The
nearby prairies were covered with
white clover and hearts ease, which
made the best sort of feeding ground,
and it wasn't long before the apiary
numbered eighty colonies, making it
the largest in the country.
All the work Of attending to the bees
Mrs. Stow performs herself. and dur
ing the seventeen years never has a
swarm escaped. Every pound of honey
she takes from the hives with her own
hands.

Society Manners.

The young girl who has a society
mask which she let's fall when she en-
tiers her own home need not hope to
long deceive her friends. Inadvertently
she will let it slip at an unexpected mo-
ment, and the glimpse once seen of q
peevish, selfish nature is not soon for
gotten. If the wishes of the brother at
home are not to be considered, the adj
miring man friend feels sure her lover
and future husband will not be either.
The sweet, musical voice which is
heard in society often changes into a
snappy, disagreeable one when used to
address a patient, devoted mother at
home. But at some unexpected moment
the young girl is sure to be overheard,

Japan,s Modern Woman.

In reply to the query about the effect
of the new woman idea in Japan a
bright Japanese woman replied as fol
lows, says the Detroit Tribune:
"Oh yes, indeed, a very great effect.
We are beginning to have old maids.
Such thing less than a generation
ago was unheard of. but now we are
recruiting more and more old maids
each year. The womens clubs are
making our girls much more particular
as to their husbands. The more educa-
ton girl gets the harder she is to
please in the way of a husband. When
she gets knowledge of algebra and
geometry and chemistry and poetry
and drama, she begins to have ideals
and is not contented to marry the first
man or even the second or third that
she has chance to marry, and be-
cause frequently the fourth does not
turn up at all or is no better than the
three she prefers to remain
single"

NOT ALWAYS ARID.

During the past week frequent and
copious rains have fallen and posi-
lively assure abundant crops of all
kinds. The spring has been drier
than usual and generally backward
as compared with other seasons. AS
matter of fact up to the present
time we have been waiting for the
coming of spring, but from the eff
fects of these recent rains, the al
falfa and grain fields will be cheer

enormous cost of the conflict is fairly

The Use of;Peroxide.

Peroxide is antiseptic and healing.
Its bleaching qualities make it feared
by the average woman. In the hands
OF those who are familiar with it's vir-
tues and the many uses to which it can
be put it is most excellent. Raw flesh
will heal quickly under its magic
touch, and pimples will disappear
without leaving scars. A weak solu-
ton suitable for toilet purposes can
be purchased by the ounce, but unless
1t is kept in dark colored bottle and
away from the light it loses some of
Its power. Some women prefer to buy
1t In sealed packages and full strength
and dilute it one-third with water
when using 1t.
1t can be applied to any part of the
skin, but should be kept away from
eyebrows, lashes and hair about the
face because of it's bleaching power.
For superfluous hair upon the skin it
can be used with profit, as it takes out
the color by repeated application and
when used often enough will weaken
the hair

DIRECTORS APPEAR.

|
By the Spokesman Review we
learn that knockers are at work in
Spokane.
When the Weiser committee APP
peared before the trustees of the
Spokane chamber of commerce, it
was not the intention nor was it at
tempted to convey the impression
that the Warren wagon road extern
sion was the best route possible for
Spokane interests under all condi-
tons, but that it was the soonest con-
structed and most available at pres
ent, and the cooperation asked was
presented in the light of a necessary
expedient and this is the real condi-
ton and is the view to be taken in
considering the matter. The uues-
ton is one of present financial bene-
fit, but the business relations estab-
lisbed by the construction of the
road, as suggested, will certainly be
only more assured if in due time
more favorable routes are opened and
the means of communication made
easier. A road from Sites as sug-
gested in referring to the possible
action of the committee of investi-
cation and published in another col
umn, may ultimately prove superior
for Spokane interests, but this we
very much doubt. One statement
made to the committee by the knock
ers is certainly incorrect, and that is
in regard to distance. BY map
measurement Warren is situated at
least % miles nearer Thunder Noun
tain than Dixie. So assuming the
cost of construction per mile TO be
the same, the advantage falls to the
Warren route, exactly as was stated
by the Weiser committee; and as to
elevations, no doubt they are so
nearly the same that the question
would cut no figure in the capacity
of the road at any time. The points
insisted upon by the Weiser repre-
sentatives were that this way road
practicable for wagon transporta-
ton and connecting with roads al
ready constructed and open to travel,
will be available several months
sooner, and at cost materially less

Enol,s CAP scarecroyv.

Holland farmers play trick on the
crows which keeps the thieving birds
away from their grainfields They
make small cornucopias of stout paper,
smearing the inner side with birdlime
or some sticky substance. These are
filed with a few grains of corn and
stood about in the field by sticking the
points into the earth. Down comes Mr..
Crow, thinking himself in great luck TO
find so much corn ready for him. He
tries to peck at it. Lo, FOOLS cap
sticks to his head. He cannot get 1t of.
His friends are scared. too, as they see
him scrambling and staggering about,
for he cannot see which way to go.
After he tears the sticky cap loose he
vows that he will never go near that
field again. This method of keeping
crows away is better than shooting
them, as they are at all times very i'll
teresting birds. and the damage they
do to the growing corn is insignificant
compared to the great good they do all
through the year by destroying mil
lions of injurious insects.

Mistakes In Furnishings.

An error which the inexperienced
house furnisher often makes is to put
two reds of different tones in rooms
that open into each other. A hall, per-
haps. will have terra Gotta on the
walls, and there will be red in the din
Ing room to which it leads. This is
wrong. Put a negative color on the
hall, tone of buff or mastic, with a
small broken figure in self tones. that
there may be no suggestion or strong
contrast to the red of the adjoining
room. If blue is to be used in the din
ing room. not too light yellow NAV
be put on the hall. 1t is these Earring
arrangements in adjacent rooms that
may destroy wholly an effect in either
apartment that by itself or properly
complemented would be altogether
charming.

brushes should be rubbed over with a

The constant chatting of the skin by
clothing, as the rough edge of a neck
band, may cause an eczema on the
tender skin of child most difficult to
cure. The cure is the removal of the
cause of irritation and liberal use of
healing powder. Applications should
be frequent until the skin is healed.
