Women's Hair In Japan.

In Japan, Especially in the heart
of the country, where foreign intlu-
ence has never reached" quotes the
Woman's Journal, there are women
who wear their hair bobbed like a
small boys. This is sign that they
are widows and is done in respect
for japanese custom Of burying
part of the wife's hair with the body
of her husband. Often she cuts off
just little, not enough to spoil her
pretty couture. But when she de-
tcrmines to remain forever true to
his memory she cuts off all her hair
and never again permits it to grow.

The Curfew and Why II Was So Called

Long, long ago, before even your
Oldest grandmother was born, peo-
pie did not have chimnevs on their
houses. A hole was made in the
center of the room under an opening
i'll the roof, exactly the way that the
Indians do in their tepees. When
the family went to bed at night
time they covered this hole in the
roof with IA board and threw ashes
over the embers to keep the wooden
house from catching fire while the
people slept. 1t was the custom in
every town and village for bell to
be rung each night, warning the in
habltants to cover their fires, put
out their lights and 60 to bed. This
bell was called the "curlew," or
cover fire" bell.

BEEF AND TURKEY.
Comparative Value and Economy of
the Two as Food.

Discussing the comparative food
value Of roast beef and turkey, the
Lancet says:
First, it may be said that weight
for weight the flesh Of the turkey is
more nouriShing than that of beef,
but the latter is, generally speaking,
cheaper than the former. The
moisture in beef, however, exceeds
the amount present in the flesh Of
the turkey, and the latter contains
a better percentage Of proteid, Or
flesh forming substance. In either
case the percentage of moisture is
seldom less than 70 per cent. In
lean beef the amount of fat is much
the same as in a not too well fed
turkey, but it must be pointed out
that the flesh Of poultry differs from
! that Of beef or mutton in not having
its muscular libers permcated by fat,
and, moreover, the tibers in the flesh
OF fowl are short and readily Weld to
the disintcgrating action of the d.
gestive processes. A large amount
OF fat in either case is apt to inter
fere with the digestibility of the

Tha FIanst Mars.

Flammar!on, the famous astrono-
her, says of the planet Mars: THE
climate is very mild. There are no
gales, while the atmosphere is very
light. with scarcely any clouds. The
inhabitants enjoy fine weather, the
climate being something like that of
Davos Platz, in Switzerland-dry
and clear. We know the globe of
Mars perfectly-in fact, far better

Why Does the Earth Revolve +?

That the earth "do move" is a
fact that has been demonstrated in
a variety of WAYS, but exactly why it
doe, 50 is not so easy 10 explain.
The astronomers are not agreed
upon this question, and when doc
tors disagree" where are the com
mon people to look for explanations,
answers and solutions to such que
ries: One school Of these star wise
men claim that the original initial
centrifugal force given the globe
was directed in line slightly to one
side of the center, which would, Of
course, cause the great globe to 70
tate on its axis, and by what is
known as the "law of inertia it
would continue to so reyoiye at a
uniform rate of speed until arrested
by some outside forces Others
claim that the motion Of daily ro-
tation is a compound resultant of
the general motion of the earth in
its orbit and the attraction OF the
sun

From Our Special Correspondent.
Nov. 1.-Mr. OConnell and daughters
of Denver were out here several days
visiting our merchant, f. L. Harper, and
family. They returned to Denves Tues
day morning.
There will be another dance in the hall
Saturday night.
Mr. and Mrs. Abe Aaron have moved
back from Denver to their ranch north
west of here.
Frank Hall, a former resident of this
locality, is building new home at Rifle,
on the western slope.
G. B. Hollems has been hauling his
grain to Elbert for a week or more. He
raised a big crop, as did nearly all of the
farmers in this locality this year. 1t has
been one of the best seasons the farmers
of Fondis locality have seen in recent
years.
The question of consolidation OF two
school districts, and the building of
new school house at Fondis, has appar-
emily "died bornIn'," as nothing has
been heard of the matter for some time.
In the opinion of your correspondent it
would have been wise move and would
have meant better schools at practically
the same EXPENSE
