A japanese woman remarked on the curious
fact that no matter how straight an American
woman's hair is in the back, it always curls
around her face, which reminds us that there are
women who curl their bangs" very tight, and
leave the short hair over their ears and at the
back of tho neck perfectly straight; or, if they
have little more care, they will yet produce
curls all around, and then pull the main body
of tho hair into SO tight and hard knot that
the soft curling Oh the edges looks incongruous.
Ii is best, if a woman tries to curl her hair at
all, TO curl all of the short or flying ends, and
TO do the rest mp softly aud lightly.

A plan is being tried in Ohio whicl threatens the extinction of the oId-fa toned 'decstrjct school" In KtngsyiIIc. Ashtabula county, there were number ofsmaI schools requiring many teachers, entaiIing much expense, and which couIc not be properly graded. The farmers ot that section studied the question, and then applied to the Legislature for relief
 Five outlying school districts were abandoned, with the agreement to bring the pupils to the schools at the Center of the town. Covered wagons, completely inclosed on stormy days, were provided. and arrangements made with certain farmers to bring the children each morn ing. The wagon held from Is to 22 per sons. In two districts pupils were brought four and a half miles, In the other three the longest trip was three and half mtles. The conveyance both ways cost from 95 cents to $1 05 a day for each wagon. As a result the ex- pense of education in that district has been reduced from an average of S22.75 per capita to $l2 D. The attendance has been much better thaniund9r the old plan; there has been less sickness among the children, their feet and clothing being kept dry in stormy weather; teachers are better pald and of higher grade; and the improved teaching would be main- tained even if it cost as much as the old plan. The scholars reach the school house at o'clock and leave at 4, with the usual noon recess. The plan is being tried in other parts of Ohio, and one by one the 'little red schoolhouses" are being deserted for more commodious buildings farther apart, a loss to pleasant memories of the old, but a great gain to the rising generation. This plan is being advocated in various sections of Connecti cut also. In Washington, in Litchneld County, there is some talk of combining i've schools in one graded school at New Preston, and the plan is favored by such representative men as Ex-Senator Charles P. Lyman, Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue Hoffman, Rev Henry Upson, Ex. Senator Averill and others. We believe this consolidation scheme is being con- sidered by Middlebury.
