London's Chamber Of Arbitration.

Six months ago we had occasion to tell of

don. and the arbitrators are selected by
the Chamber OF Commerce. holding their
appointment from the corporation. 1t is
not a compulsory court. but Is for yplun-
tary use. Questions may also be referred
to 1t by Judges or courts OF law.
The Chairman OF the Chnmter OF Arbitra-

course to 1t in the six months of its existence
speak most highly OF the simplicity, rapid

believes experience has been already suf-

Advertising for Husbands.

The success Of the woman who swindled
20 many men by advertising for husband
indicates that such advertisements accom-
plish their purpose in attracting an extern
sive response. 1t shows that tho supply
has only to make itself known. to awaken
the demand in the matrimonial market.
OF late years these matrimonial adver-
tisements have become numerous, and pa
pers expressly intended for their pub
lication have been established. Many OF
them. probably. are inserted for sinister
purposes. and many more as practical
Jokes; but that others are genuine is
proved by the evidence given In many d.
vorce cases. showing that the unfortunate
marriages wore brought about by adver-
ttsing for mates.

Tho Bicycle as a Vehicle.

NJ. EMILE ZoLA. the noted French novel;
list. tells the Herald that he Is riding n
bicycle as means OF quieting his nerves
and obtaining the physical exercise which
he needs to set him up after prolonged
sedentary employment. He is delighted
with the machine. and thinks it "is
destined to fill most important part in
our social conditions"
Already the bicycle is beginning to fill
such part. Throughout this country its
use as a means OF locomotion. and not
merely for sport and recreation. is EXTEND
ing rapidly. Among the bicycle riders fire.
quently encountered In country roads are
many men and women who are wheeling
their way along on errands Of business
or pleasure. They use it as a means
Of conveyance. as others use horses and
carriages. 1t is employed in sending let
ters and other messages. and In the trans
action OF various business requiring de-
spatch. Thus. ability to manage a bicycle
is becoming a serviceable accomplishment
to many persons who have their living to
make, perhaps more especially in the
country. where the roads are we'll adapted
for its use. the distances to be covered
arc SIeaJ, huu puUllC COnNeyduCeS are I'M
attainnble. Its first cost paid it costs
nothing to keep. beyond necessary repairs,
and it is always ready for service
Hence the bicycle Is becoming as neces-
sary as horse to many people in tho
transaction Of business and for going to
and fro. and to some extent it Is replacing
the horse and wagon. The extent OF this
use Is indicated by the signs which are
on many crossroads blacksmith
shops. announcing that the repairing OF
bicycles Is speciality of the business. The
value Of the machine for such practical
purposes is 30 obvious that its present in

In that way.
1t Is admirably adapted for the use OF post
carriers and all messengers who must move
with despatch long or considerable dis
tances. Already it has been put to military
service. and in future wars 1t Is likely to
play q valuable part. Moreover. its cost
will decrease with the extension of its use.
Undoubtedly. NJ. ZOLA is right in prophe-
'ying. In his first enthusiasm as bicyclist,
hat the bicycle has In 1t the promise OF a
great future.

The Principles OF Treating

We publish elsewhere the letter of cor

with man who pcrsistently takes advan :
tage Of the gracious treating custom in
order to get his drinks for nothing, At bis
club he Is on hand when treat for a party ia

from the conviviality; but he never treats

swindler. or at least an ill-regulated orea-
ture untitled to be wife.
With us the prevalent theory is that the
attraction which leads man and woman
to marriage must be special. on the woman's
part more particularly. and not general; and
that consequently an advertisement does
not servo Its usual purpose. In bringing
the demand and the supply together. Mr..
HENRY LABoUCHERE OF London Truth says.
that is mere sentimental rubbish, and that
girl might marry any ono Of many men
with an equal chance Of finding q husband
satisfactory to her. He doesn't believe In
love at first sight, In marriages made In
heaven. and the predestined and exclusive
fitness Of one special man for one special
woman. He contends that the selection is
governed by chance. That is not the ro-
mantle view. 1t kills poetry. however rec
oncilable 1t may be with fact.
Whether the time will ever come whom
this theory is recognized In practice, 30 far
as to make the use OF the want advertise
ment for obtaining husbands and wives
general in civilization, Is very doubtful. 1t
Is not likely to be common. 1t will not be
usual unless the feminine nature undergoes
q radical transformation, for both In civili-
zation and in savagery the man seeks the
woman, and not tho woman the man. The
man must capture her. make some sacrifice
for her. not merely publish his desire for
wife in order to get her to offer herself.
Tho matrimonial advertisement accord
ingly. does not seem to US an important de-
velopment Of civilization. 1t is symptom
OF nothing promising any change In the
general order OF society: but possibly the
custom among the Jews Of employing 60
between. a matrimonial broker. to fiad
mates for tho marriageable may be extend-
ed. In essence 1t Is the French custom.
which works very successfully. marriages
being arranged for the young people by
their families or through the intermedia-
tlon OF relatives. and not brought about by
the simple blind instinct OF youth.

Persons afflicted with that loathsome and
contagious disease OF the scalp known as
favus are again among our immigrants from
Hamburg. Twelve Of them were found on
Sunday among tho storage passengers Of
the Schiedam. We do not see why those
sufferers are shipped to this country. or
how it happens that they are permitted
to leave Hamburg The steamship company
that brought them from there declares that
all steerage passengers are subjected to a
medical inspection before they are taken
aboard; our own hospital marine service
here sent physicians there MS medical In
spectors. and tho ships doctors, consti.
tute yet another inspecting force. Under
those circumstances. 1t is not easy to
account for the fact that passengers affected
with favus have been brought here several
times this year. There should not be anv
difficulty In detecting tho presence OF the
disease. 1t is not for the interest OF any ship
ping company to bring its victims here: our
laws prohibit the landing OF immigrants suf-
ferng from any contagious malady We
npprehend that In some foreign ports. there
are inspectors who do not inspect. All the
sharper must be the inspection ut Ellis
Island: all the more vigorously must our
laws be enforced against tho offending ship
