Bicycle Faces on Husbands.


 There is scarcely a husband who, during the past four months, has not urged his wife to learn to ride a wheel. There is scarcely a husband of the lot who does not now regret that he so urged her He has found that it has added to his nervous impairment in the ratio of 30 per cent, and in addition thereto he has caught the husband neok" This strange malady is caught by the constant craning of the neck, generally to the left, to see if the wife of ones bosom is safe. Even after the husband has found that his wife has really become a skilled rider the habit remains. He can no more help turn ing his head at short intervals than he can help imagining that all sorts of dire disasters are befalling her. And there seems to be no cure for this. The natural one to suggest would be that a mans wife should ride ahead of him. But no man, as yet, could possibly con- sent to this, both because it is his na-

MODNSrY AND rRUrH.

The Register modestly says that mod esty forblds it to take unto itself credit for intelligent handling of fnan- clal questions. Modesty isn't the only thing that forbids 1t. Truth also pro- tests.
 Modesty and truth both forbid the Journal and Courier to even seem to accept the graceful and insinuating compliment paid 1t and It's editor by the Register in calling its editor CoIoneI or, rather, "Col." The Journal and Courier has no Colonels or "Cols." in it's service. Even the office boy of the Journal and Courier is neither Col onel nor a "Col."
 But neither modesty nor truth forbids us to admire and praise the splendid military equipment of the Register. Colonel Osborn and Major Palmer are both handsome men. They have seen service on many a hard fought field, and their Honorable scars are all on their front elevations. Military glory and military titles were never more worthily won or worthily worn than by this distinguished duo. They are good to look at and New Haven will be safe from foreign invasion or civil strife as long as they remain on the parade ground.
 Neither modesty nor truth forbids the assertion that the Colonel and the Major are a great pair.

CHICAGO IADIEEERENT.

Chicago has had several of the big political conventions and has paid roundly for the privilege of having them. But she is not now exhibiting any eagerness to gobble up either of the conventions which are to be held next year. The hotel men of the town say that they are now having about all the regular business they can con- veniently attend to, and therefore have no need to put themselves to any trou- ble or expense in order to secure the extra patronage that a convention would bring, and which, they say, would not make any very noticeable addition to their regular profits. As for the managers of the railroads run ming into Chicago, they profess not to care where the conventions go, as they will get the traffic whichever way t has to be moved; and the other Chicago business men and the general public are reported to be comfortably assum. ing that their city will have to be cho- sen anyway, because of its superior To- cation and accommodations, and that consequently they need not make any efforts to raise any funds,
 If Chicago wants either of the con- ventions she will have to ask for it
 There are other cities which are asking and asking vigorously. It is said that the rule is that city that gets con- vention must first pay off the old debts of the party organization. Perhaps the Chicago people feel that they have paid more old debts than they ought to. But it is new thing to see Chicago indif- ferent to national political conventions.

 TIT ITRTGAT.

It will surprise the admirers and supporters of the new woman of this country to read that the new woman of Scandinavia is away ahead of her. For instance, last summer there was opened great Scandinavian women's exhibition, the whole affair being man. aged by women, and women alone being permitted to contribute. The result has been a triumph. During this exhi- bition concerts were given with the fin est female talent in the country, and were managed from start to finish by women. Tn fact, these impresarios man. aged so we'll that they now announce the opening of "Wpman's Theatre" for the coming winter season. It will be under the control of women. All the plays will be written by women. The male characters-they cannot avoid them very well-will be taken by wo- men. The ballet will of course, be danced by women, and the whole or chestra, the soloists, the chorus and the conductor will be exclusively wo- men.
 This is astonishing. But 1t is a pity that the new Scandinavian woman is so theatrical.

A notable addition to the criticisms on the public school curriculum is that
 presented recently before a teachers association meeting in Illinois by MT. John Holley-Clarke. He did not speak in disparagement of the study of clas- sics, mathematics or sciences, but in criticism of the neglect, particularly in the high schools, of the study of eco- monies. In the nature and range of the subjects pursued, our schools, Mr. Clarke said, are modelled after those in England and other countries where t was not necessary or expected that the common people would ever have need of @ knowledge of the State and of it's in- dustries and political principles which is the foundation of the highest nation- al prosperity. ''But this is the age of the people" Mir. Clarke continued; 'the era of good-government clubs and in- dependent political action. It is not enough that the leaders of parties should know or think, but the people themselves must be trained to think
 and fitted to form intelligent judgment concerning the wisdom of the different policies that are presented for accept

ginning to realize that if the hair is
 worn too long at one part the beauty of the part disappears. There is more
 sense In the constant change of style in arrangement of the hair than in other
 so-called freaks of fashion. The hair
 should never be arranged for many
 weeks in an unchanging way, for locks
 that are exposed constantly to the light

 to the surface, and the pompadour will give the hair just the rest needed. But

VAN, Armenia, June 5.-In trans
fer from Van to Constantinopie of
the advance guard of the Armenian
revolutionary movement captured
in the village of Tchilboukla on May
10, the Turkish government has TAX
en- a decisive step toward quoting
public excitement in the Eastern
part of the empire.
The governor Of Van, Bahari
Pasha, has, during the week, added
several interesting facts to the al
legged confession of Harry Williams,
the leader of the captured band.
According to the governor, Will
Jams has confessed that the revolu-
tionary party, which sent him to be-
gin the revolutions, has 5000 rifles
in Trieste, Austria, which will be
shipped to Armenia for the use of
the patriots at the earliest opportun-
ity.
An interesting incident of Will
Jams confession as made public by
Bahari is the fact that he is not a
British subject at all, but is a native
of the Caucasus region of Russia,
and, strangely enough, of the very
district in which Bahari himself was
born. Leaving out of consideration
entirely the second revolutionary
band across the Persian border, it
is an undeniable fact that the Ar
menian situation was never at i
more critical point.
Your correspondent yesterday met
the representative of fourth revo-
lutionary party, which has agents il
Russia, England and America. Their
headquarters seem to be in America
where a party newspaper is pub,
1ished and revolutionary funds are
collected. This agent is a Russian
Armenian, and he holds strong views
on the situation. The fourth revolu.
tionary party has brought no guns
to Armenia, nor does the agent say
that he has any arms hidden in the
mountains. The party principles
however, are of the most radical
and advanced sort.
