A representative has introduced a
bill providing for the publication of
all new laws in certain number of
newspapers in the State at a compen-
sation of $75, That is good and
proper law. The people should be
allowed to read new laws and cut
them out for reference. The defect
is that it provides that the publica-
ton can be made in q paper with 200
circulation. That looks like pro-
vision in behalf of republican pap
sheets started up as mushroom en-
terprises to get political pie for a
short time, and head off legitimate
papers that may have flourished for a
quarter of century upbuilding their
locality but guilty of expressing
thoughts not dictated by close polit-
ical corporation. If the laws are
published they should go to papers

A bill for wide tire wagon law
has been introduced in the house
providing for tires four to six inches
long. The Signal has always believed
in wide tires that roll the road down
and make it harder instead of cut
ting it up-yet that applies to CON
ditions of the soil not always present
On ground where it Is very soft for
some depth, soft enough for the
vide tires to sink through, the width
would then become an obstacle as
the tire must lift the great guam
titY Of mud that would settle in above
it after sinking, thus impeding the
drawing power of the team. In such
cases only are narrow tires better

is on the side Of the wide tire.

to make the railways earn greater

made longer, speed pressed to the

Voeue Of Short Skirts

Short skirts are becoming so popular
for summer gowns, and tailors and dress
makers have apparently attained to such
a degree OF proficiency in the construc-
ton thereof, that it is quite safe to say
the fashion viii continue all through the
autumn and winter. In linen and plque
and the various different wash materials
the short skirt Is so eminently practical
that the wonder is that long skirts ever
were allowed, while in silk and light wool
tailor made costumes, the newest design
with the perfect fitting yoke, there are
so many attractive gowns which are be-
coming and smart that they will surely be
copied for winter wear.
A favorite model made in silk canvas or
linen has a deep fitted yoke with seam in
front and a long pointed line, and below
the yoke the skirt is in narrow tucks or
wide pleats. The waist in shirtwaist
style, has tuclzs OF pleats Of tho same size
and n narrow yoke over the shoulders
made to give the same line as the one on
the skirt and with a seam in front; the
seam hidden under n band of embroidery
or hemsttchng. In taffeta this Is a cap
ital model, but 1t looks well also in the
wash materials OF rather heavy weight
like canvas or linen.

Fencing for Women

Fencing for women is one of the late
fads which has more than the mere ex-
cuse, 'It's fashionable" to commend It,
1t is a comparatively new exercise for wo-
men, although men have been following
the sport for the benefit 1t does them
for years. In the last century that strong
incentive TO swordsmanship, the duel, al
most ceased TO exist. and. therefore. the
practice Of the art was restricted to a
very few. It was only recently that the
spread Of the physical culture movement
for women caused search for light but
vigorous exercise and some maitre d
armes saw his opportunity and took ad-
vantage OF It.
In a short time fencing became 'fhe
thing" In the fashionable New York set
and the movement spread to other parts
Of the country. Many of the feminine
leaders Of society are fair fencers. al
though the necessity for earnest and con-
trsuous practice prevents most OF them
from becoming really proficient. Crdin-
arily women make poor fencers. Not only
do they lack the strength necessary 10
good work with the foils, but singularly
enough. they also lack that alertness and
agility which IS characteristic OF most
things that they do.
Among theatrical women fencing Is de-
cidediy popular, Julia Marlowe and Jesse
Milward are adopts and in the classes
conducted by M. Senac who instructed
Miss Marlowe and Lillian Russell, are
Ethel Barrymore. Elsie de Wolfe and
Edna Wallace Hopper. Grace George is
however, probably the best amateur wo-
man fencer in America. Although young
and slight she has plenty Of muscle and
her eye is as quick as that Of any swords
man alive. She began the sport simply as
an exercise with Frederick r. Graham
but soon became infatuated with 1t and
after learning all her instructor could
teach her. she Joined NJ Senac's classes

Women and Drugs

There does not seem to be any rea-
sonable doubt that the practice of drug
taking among women, for the purpose
of procuring sleep, easing pain oC
soothing nerves" is on the increase.
Till comparatively lately opium.
chloral and bromide Of potassium were
the only forms Of narcotics accessible,
and their effects were pretty generally
understood. Now. however, there are
at least fifty different substances
which are employed for the same pur-
pose, according to the special circum-
stances under which a physician may
deem their temporary use to be de-
sirable.
The patient derives n benefit under
the particular conditions from the pre-
scription, and forthwith becomes a de-
votee of whatever drug has given her
relief at once, and, without the slight
est knowledge of it's powers, goes on
taking it whenever headache or in
somnia occurs, says Woman's Life.
The possibilities of cumulative effect
are forgotten. and instances are on
record of terrible collapses, and ever
death, following upon the continued
absorption Of what are neither more
nor less than poisons. The case j:
even worse when hypodermic injection
is resorted to. as it is then far more
difficult to administer an antidote.

What the Eyes Tell

Aside from expression, the color Of tho
eyes is a faithful indication of tempera-
ment. Thus;
Black OF very dark eyes denote a capac-
ity for extreme ardor in love.
Dark blue eyes. while indicating affec-
tion and purity, do not represent intellec-
tuality.
Clear light blue eyes. especially If ac-
companied by steadfastness of expression
denote cheerfulness. amiability and con.
stancy.
Russet brown, untinged by yellow
mean an anectionate and gentle dispesi-
ton.
steel colored eyes usually denote a cold
nature, also deceit and treachery.-
Gree nish tints in blue or hazel eyes ar,
the signs Of wisdom and courage.
Variable gray eyes are highly inteliec
tual and indicative Of an impulsive an.
impressionable temperament.
Tawny eyes denote fickleness. Eyes O
no particular color, only feeble shades O
gray and blue go with lymphatic disposl
tions, characterized by coldness, selfish
ness and listlessness.
