There are some distinctions In the laws gov
srping trade unions which minds unskilled in
legal argument have difficulty in grasping be-
cause of the completely Of the relations in
volved- For example, . decision by Justice
Potter In New York city, that the rules OF the
Musical Union forbidding members to play
with non-union men are void because in re-
straint of trade and contrary to public policy,
will provoke considerable adverse comment In
labor circles; and yet 1t is good law. and the
judge could not have escaped making IL ii he
had wanted to. Any association of working
men has right to make rules for its own gov
ment, and, il the members all consent to be
governed By those rules, the courts do not in
teriere. II may forbid members to work in
company with men who do not eelOng to the
association, or for certain obnoxious employers;
and. a. long as obedience to these rules does
not cause members TO violate contracts or
otherwise infringe the rights of outside parties,
all will 20 WELL II one of them makes COLI
tract TO work for certain employer, however,
and, through his own carelessness or quies-
cence, makes NO provision for quitting work in
case Of the employment of non-union men, Le
is bound to stand by his agreement, even at the
cost OF expulsion from the association. 1t Is
here that the rights of third parties come into
consideration, and the courts cannot permit
any body To disregard those rights because he
has been too has;y or too careless TO protect
himself.
On the other hand, the society cannot invoke
the aid OF the law in furnishing its members
for the breach of any rule which hampers the
freedom OF trade or labor generally. These
questions have been settled over and over
again, but there are still sanguine persons who
believe that it will be possible TO get the de-
cisions reversed. They would save valuable
strength by giving up that idea and candidly
facing the facts Trade unions have their
place in the social ecouomy, but there are re-
strictions on their powers, the same as on the
powers of business firms and corporations,
private citizens, and everybody aud every
thing eise that have relations with the rest OF
the world. The elements OF personal interest
and mutual confidence must enter into their
transactions with their members, they do
into transactions of all sorts outside of the
unions. Men should not join them till they
have made up their minds to submit cneer-
fully TO discipline when they disobey the
rules; and, having been admitted TO member
ship, they should so shape their conduct as TO
guard the society ~ well ss themselves against
injury.

some kind; but there is no paper and
no interesting volume that they can
turn to, and SO they live within them
selves, as it were, and in too many
cases sleep away their existence.
But just let the young farmer think
for O. moment of the forces,
the properties, principles, influences,
the laws-developed and undevel-
oped-with which he must come
IN contact, and understand if be
would succeed. So far from being less
dependent upon the arts and sciences
than those engaged in other occupa-
lions, the farmer stands in need of a
far wider range of knowledge than is
requisite in almost any other business.
And farming need not prove the un-
varying round and monotonous life it
is often said to be; for every operation
on the farm is an incentive to inquiry
and stimulant to thought Men of one
idea cannot succeed in farming, and
those engaged in it, theyoung especial
ly. should lose no opportunity of add
ing to their present stock of ideas by
reading, by investigating for them
selves, and through intercourse with
others. SEQ ttish Agricultural Ga

The Old Folks Night.

A London, O., correspondent writes.
"Oneevening each week is set apart at
the skating rink for married people.
No bachelor or other unmarried per
son need apply for admission. Last
evening was married peoples night,
and the evening, too, for fun. MANY
leading citizens tried their skill for the
first time. Senator Doerfinger tried
his hand, or rather his feet, but the
room was too small for him. DR.. J.
T. Houston and Noah Thomas repre-
sented the city council The doctor
at the rink, as at the council chamber,
occupied great deal of the time on
the floor. ". S. Shepherd, ofthe Lon
don Times, took his first lesson,
and at odd times displayed longitud-
inods positions. Altogether, married
peoples evening at the rink is a very
amusing one.

Beasts Still Sacrificed in Worship
[From the Pail Mall Gazette. !

[From the Pail Mall Gazette.
1t appears that there are still some
Christians in the Russian Empire who
retain one characteristically pagan
custom of their forefathers-thes acri-
flee of beasts as a part of public wor-
ship. Not long ago the St. Petersburg
Zeitung stated that this practice was
in use on certain occasions at Wyborg.
in Northern Finland, among the Ka-
retes, who are devoted adherents to
the Orthodox Church. The SWEET now
states that the same ritual survives
among the Orthodox islanders OF
Mantschinschari about twenty-five
versts from the Monastery of Walaam,
where is a chapel dedicated to the
Prophet Elias. Several times every
year three oxen, and somtimes more,
are brought by Christian pilgrims to
the chapel, in the front of which they
are solemnly slaughtered amid the
ringing of bells. The dead beasts, how
ever, are not now burned, as they for
merly were, but are boiled, and the
pilgrims, together with the villagers,
make a hearty dinner out of the sa-
cred flesh.
