Novelty In UndersIeeves.

Rather eccentric is the fancy dis
played on new and DECIDEDLY modish
dresses for undersleeves of dull glaze
kid or soft suede. These are not to
be mistaken for the upper part of two
piece gloves. for they are bound to
the wrist with black satin or braid
and are thus thinly lined. fitting the
forearm closely. They are not to be
accounted for. except on the score Of
extreme novelty and the apparent
tendency to use kid and suede freely
as a trimming.

Restricted Choice.

said Senator La Toilette the other
day, remind me of a woman and her
little boy. There was very large
chicken and very small duck on the
table and the woman. pausing with
the carving knife raised, said: Johnny,
which will you take, chicken or duck?'
Duck piped Johnny. But the mother
shook her head. No, Johnny she said
in firm, yet kindly voice, you can't
have duck, my dear. Take your
choice. darling, take your choice, but
you can't have duck"

story Of one Of his new conductors:
The inspector had boarded car on
one Of the East Side lines and glanc-

eight fares. He touched the conductor
on the shoulder, a green man from

THE BOARD OF FINANCE.

It is expected that the Board of Finance will at its meeting this even- ing determine it's attitude in the case of the teachers salaries In this con- nection we take the liberty, and ask pardon for doing so, to call the atten- ton of the board to three things.
 In the first place the city charter. confers upon the finance board the power to make such appropriations as 1t sees fit, regardless of the estimates submitted by the departments, but it has no power over the distribution of ths money, If it believes that the peti- ton of the teachers is sound the board should appropriate the sum called for, thus placing the authority for its dis tribution where 1t belongs
 The Board of Finance should ap- proach the consideration of the school boards recommendation with great caution. By all the laws of fair play tho teachers salaries should be paid beginning September 1. Should the finance board feel disinclined to accept the teachers schedules but willing to accept the school boards substitute it should correct this untimeTiness in be- ginning the new rate. Whatever it's de- cision September is the time to begin.
 Finally the Board of Finance should not be over-sensitive in the fear that action on it's part might constitute a discourtesy to sister department. The question involved in this controversy Is , not Chesterfieldian manners but the necessity of doing the teachers of our children justice. Manners can wait

PRETTY coon POETRY.

Thus saith the Hartford Courant: "our esteemed contemporary, the New Haven Journal and Courier closes the Yale class day poem as follows:
 Farewell, my brother builders, build ye
 welll
 add yale commencement stun set oay'
 This does not seem exactly metri- cal; but no doubt it was understood in the office
 It was, and we are sorry if there is any dubiety about 1t in the office of the Courant. It is pretty good poetry Metric enough, if poetic license is properly allowed for, and we can show the license to anybody who is entitled to ask for it, We call the Courant's attention to tke fine sequence of the poetry. Farewell, my brother build CTS, build ye well, add yale commence ment stuff" That means, dear Cour- ant, that the brother builders must add their building to yale commence. ment stuff" If they don't it won't amount to much. As to the rest of the quotation, "set day." that is di- rection to the brother builders to set a day for achievement. Tuesday was one of the days set. To-day will be an- other. When the Courant sees any more good poetry in our columns we hope it will not only notice it, but study it. We are not quite modest enough to say that anything that can be and is understood in this office should also be understood in the Courant office, but we can hold out hope of progress with persistent ef- fort. It is hard to have to explain poetry, but Browning and other poets have also suffered

EATING DIRT.

There is a we'll founded theory that everybody must eat peck of dirt, and there is a well established practice that supports the theory. But dirt-eating may not be so very bad. Poor whites in the South eat dirt and don't die. The hungry Chinese are said to be eating 1t. And a rich man in Texas is not only eating it but warmly advocating the eating of 1t. This man, who possesses several thousand acres of land rich in mineral clay, believes that the clay is as good for man as it is for house building. He is around the four-score mark in years; but he is described as looking not over forty-five, and he de- clares he feels like twenty and wants to act like sixty, thanks to the clay diet He is satisfied in his own mind that such are the health-giving proper ties of the clay that life may be indefi- nitely prolonged and disease banished
 Dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt return" This doesn't indicate that dirt-eating will give the meek their in- heritance of the earth without dying, and it would upset some theology to hold that it was meant that the meek should get their share of the earth by eating It.

FALSE L1aIsLATITE VIEW.

A situation has developed in the State of Connecticut with reference to legislative enterprises which must soon- CT or later give serious-minded citizens much concern. It has to do with leg islative organization within the conven- ticnal legislative organization as con- sequence of which it has become pos sible for the former to control arbi- trarily, If needs be, the business of the session. This Is clearly not the intent of the makers of the State and the framers of the constitution.
 We are not going to attempt to deal with the personal aspect of the situa- tion It Is the principle and what we regard as the inevitable outcome of it's enforcement through physical strength that concern us. It is bad thing for the State of Connecticut that there should be an organization in the House of Representatives of men having sim liar local environments and like local aspirations. It has proved an unfortun- ate thing that the Litchfield county csrcus in the constitutional convention encouraged the idea of considering pro- posed legislation independently of the house itself and that the Farmers AL liarce has become the result. We are not questioning the motives of those who discovered this method of control ling the destinies of the State nor do we question the sincerity of their mo- tiyes and the honesty of their acts What we do question is the ultimate effect upon the State itself when it realizes, with indignation probably, that it's affairs are the concern of a trump legislature before they become the concern of its own legislature.
 No matter what ones theory may be about the inherent right of the town to control in the halls of legislation, there can be no reasonable doubt among men who are familiar with history and the rules which govern it's making, that any organization which makes the minority the final judge of the needs of the majority develops con- dition of the blood which in the letting does harm to all. It has been impossi- ble to interest the people of the State of Connecticut in the movement to re- wise the system of representation in the lcwer house of the general assembly. It may be impossible to control them when they make the discovery that the system strikes them in manner to deprive them of what they need, re- gardless of their perfect willingness to have the towns have what they need,- The tenderest nerve of all has been de- scribed to be the pocket nerve and it is a phase of this pocket nerve that the inside organization of the general as sembly is unconsciously playing upon. The majority is a giant in any State and the hardest thing in the world is to persuade a giant to use his power as child when exasperated by long peri cd of irritation.
 There may be such merits and demer"

It's in the trolley situation that the house is justified in holding up all of one kind in order to facilitate the pass age of one charter, but 1t is distinctly disagreeable to learn that this sort of warfare can be traced to this inner or ganization. It makes the kind of lobby ing most complained of look insignia- cant and creates a new terror not cas- fly dealt with except by revolutionary methods. The danger of it, too, can be seen in the growing indignation in the large centers of population where inn prcvements are delayed on that ac- count.
