ArtnuF Chamberlain Explains His
Plan Of Reform In Tenn
De- Ace

Much interest has been aroused in a
novel departure which is to be made in
the direction of temperance reform by
Arthur Chamberlain. chairman of the
Birmingham (Eng.) licensing justices.
Recognizing that the progress Of his
scheme for the reduction of tempta-
tloEs to alcoholic excess among the
WORKING classes by the reduction CT
licenses is greatly hampered by the lack
OF alternative proNi isions for public con-
venience, he has formed local COM
mlttee to supply the want by selectil. z
suitable houses to be run on normal
public house lines. with the sole excer-
tion that no Intoxicating liquors will be
sold therein.
Explaining his scheme, Mr.. Chamber
lam said that clubs and coffee houses
DO not meet the difficulty, being con-
fined IN one case to memb bers and in the
other to continually changing custom,
making them suited only to the center
of the town.
I'VE propose" he said, ito start or
dinary public houses near main thor
oughfares in thickly populated working
class districts, where any passerby ma,
enter without fOrmal,ies and obtain
comfort and refreshment, and doubtless
also amusement. without the necessity
OF purchasing alcohol.
The effort is to retain the rest and
seclusion and familiar company of the
licensed house without the temptation
to drink. BY practical experiment we
hope In this way to ascertain what
prejudices and tastes will have to be
met before the public house can be s,l-
perseded in the favor of the working
classes" .....

A NEWLY-COINED WORD.
An Ugly One and the Thing 1t Stands
For Has Very Ugly
Aspects.

Any familiarity with continental Jour-
nalism and periodical literature brings
the reader in these days face to face at
every turn with the newly-coined word
"arrivism," and with dissertations on
the modern tendency which it repre-
sents. The word is very ugly one, says
Scribner's, and the thing which it
stands for certainly has very ugly as
poets: but it is doubtful whether we can
dismiss, as insignificant, either the one or
the other. Doubtful whether we can do
so In our quality of Americans. espe-
c1ally. The conservative Euror an, who
is rasped and abraided by the general
rawness resulting from the doctrine that
the most OF the time spent in preparation
for the achievement of the ends of life is
time wasted, and that the wise course to
pursue is simply to "get there" and to
learn by doing or enjoying instead of
learning to do or enjoy, does not hesi-
tate to say that it is the American and
his Americanism that are primarily re-
sponsible for the doctrine. And he is
right
We have. in effect, new way of re-
gardlng human existence and the human
career, in this particular We are in
cl1ned to apologize for this new way at
times, and at times to assert with un-
necessary aggressiveness that it is the
only right way. In reality we probably
ought to do neither. The matter is still
on trial.
Whether "arrivism" be humanity pos
whether it will give us more out of life
or less. is what we do do not yet know
and cannot yet tell But it is the con-
temporaneous problem, and one surely
calling for meditation and experiment.

TO RETURN BOER BIBLES.
Issuance of British War Office Order
with That object in
View.

The following memorandum by Lord
Roberts has been issued from the Brit
ish war Office. reports the London Times
of late date: 1T has been brought to
the notice of the comm ander in chief
that. on the cOnchs - = tise recent
war in South Africa, a large number
of Boer families found, on returning to
their farms. that their family Bibles had
disappeared. 1t appears that the Boer
inhabitants of the South African col
onies set great store by their family
Bibles, which often contain family rec
Ords of some antiquity, and even in some
cases are the only repository of such
records, in consequence Of the unayoid-
able destruction of church registers
Lord Roberts feels sure that if any per-
sons have in their possession any of
these Bibles they will willingly return
them when they learn how they are val
ued by their former possessors; and he
thinks it unnecessary to emphasize how
much such kindly act would be ap-
preciated by our new fellow subjects.
he therefore wishes it to be known as
widely as possible among all officers
and soldiers who are now serving, or
have been retired, DISCHARGED or rele-
gated to the reserve whether they be-
longed to the regular ARMY. auxiliary or
colonial troops, and also amoaa any of
their friends to whom they may have
given them as relics, that Mr.. W. Fl.
Alexander, of l2 Rishopgate Without.
London, r. c., has kindly consented 10
receive and dispatch to thei, owners
any such Bibles which may have been
taken from Boer farms. He feels sure
that the above facts, and tn knowledge
that it is his wish that ail such relics
should find their way back to their
formerly owners, will be sufficient to in
sure that their present owners. however
much they may value them, will readily
part with them for this purpose"
