Rules Governing cooperative So
cieGies.

We copy from the almanac of 1860,
issued by the Rochdale Equitable Pho
neer's society, the following advice to
members of that and similar societies ::
1st. Procure the authority and pro-
lection of the law by enrolment.
I'd. Let integrity, intelligence and
ability be indispensable qualifications in
the choice of officers and managers, and
not wealth or distinction.
3D. Let each member have only one
vote and make no distinction as regards
the amount of wealth any member may
contribute.
4th Let majorities rule in all matters
of government.
5th. Look well after the money mat
tiers. Punish fraud, when duly estab-
lished, by the immediate expulsion OF
the defrauder.
9th. Buy your goods, as much as pos
sible, in the first markets or if you have
the produce of your industry to sell,
contrive, if possible, to sell it in the last.
7th Never depart from the principle
of buying and selling for ready money.
8th. Beware of long reckonings.
Quarterly accounts are the best, and
should be adopted when practicable.
9th For the sake of security, always
have the accounted value Of the fixed
stock at least one-forth less than its mar
ketable value
10th. Let members take care that the
accounts are properly audited by men OF
their own choosing.
18th. Let committees Of management
always have the authority of members
before taking any important or expensive
step.
18th. Do not court opposition or pub
licity, nor fear it when it comes.
18th. Choose those only for your lead
ers whom you can trust then give them
your confidence.

and more permanent importance in the

THE ASTRONOMERS PROBLEM.

Our wise men who have travelled so far to

There Is very natural popular curiosity to
learn the result of their labors. On the other
hand there is a,fceling of antagonisnl to this
curiosity on the part OF scientific men. M.
le Vcrricr embodied this feeling recently III
very folciblc speech during discussion III

against the publication OF the details OF

was his bile stirred by attempts at making

pose, as being about as reasonable as attempt

Then certain remarkable dcviatiOns from the
prOper path of the chaste Luna received his
attention, and studying these he was
thence able to obtain another set of
figures for the remoteness OF the Gen.

closely in their result. 1t was certainly very
great triumph of the highest order Of mathe-
mat;cal skill. But NJ. 10 Verrier was well
contented with these calculations that he re-
garded the transit with sublime indifference
His name does not appear among the list of
those who urged or facilitated sending out

little preudiced against what they arc bring

NJ. 10 Vcrrier is quito right. Astronomers have
