Tho Reverence for cnttle.

1t is not unreasonable to believe that
cattle were held sacred by all the AIRY
an nations in the early time before they
had forgotten the ideas ruling in their
'commcn home. That reverence survives
only in India at the present day, but
we find it in the sacred books of the
Parsees, and very curious evidence is
furnished by an antique usage at Ath-
ems. AT the festival called Dipolia, cell
ebrated in honor of Zeus, the preserver
of cities, which was regarded as the
most ancient of religious rites, the altar
was heaped with sacrificial cakes, and
all the cattle of the parish, so to- speak,
were driven up to it, in historic times,
of course, this was a conventional fic-
ton. Then they were left to themselves
while the priest stood by with his axe.
The first which touched the pile of
cakes he fell upon and slew, but instant
ly turned and ran for his life, leaving
the axe behind him. This instrument
the worshippers seized, indicted as a
murderer, tried upon the spot and con-
demned; it was thrown into the Bara-
thrum, where Indicators of the worst
description lay unburied.
Such quaint custom did not escape
ridicule, Of course, when the Greeks be-
gan to reason about their customs. So
in the famous dispute between the just
and unjust causes--that is, between the
old order of things and the new-Aris-
tophanes makes the latter's champion
exclaim that the ideas of his antagonist
are Anticipated as the Dipolia, full Of
grasshoppers and of Cecydes "a very
ancient pesO and the Buphonian cere-
mony," the name by which this odd
proceeding was recognized. We cannot
doubt that it preserved the memory of
a time when cattle were sacred. Both
in Greece and Rome an OK which had
been used for ploughing might not be
sacrificed. The Jews also admitted this
rule, but it is a little curious that no
Semitis nation apparently entertained a
special regard for cattle in themselves.
An explanation might be suggested,
true or false. Authorities agree in as
suming until further evidence comes to
hand that these races had their original
seat in the south Of Arabia. Thence
they spread to the Persian gulf, and one
create olony moved northwest, to APP
pear in the history as the Phoenicians;
another northeast, to occupy Mesopo-

UNCONSrTTUTTON4T

The right of free contract in labor
most emphatic manner by the Supreme
court of Illinois in a decision against
the constitutionality of a recent eight
hour law of that State The law pro-
vided that mo female shall be employed
in any factory or workshop more than
eight hours in any one day, or forty
eight hours in any one week" It was
one of Governor Altgeld's pet measures.
The court holds that women and men
are on the same footing as regards
contracts regulating their labor and
hours of work; that the restriction made
by the law is in conflict with the provis-
ion Of the State constitution that mo
person shall be deprived of life, liberty
or property without due process of law"
the right to labor or employ labor and
to make contracts being included in
this provision; the section which forbids
women to work more than eight hours
a day in a manufacturing establish
n1ent, while permitting them to work as
many hours as they see fit at other oc-
equations, is declared to be an uncon-
stitutional discrimination. The court
holds that the legislature has no power
to substitute its own Judgment for the
Judgment of an employer and employee
in a matter about which the latter are
competent to reach an agreement, and it
will not accept the plea that the provi-
sion quoted is a sanitary provision,
and therefore justifiable as an exercise
of the police authority of the State
This power the court does not think
can be invoked to prevent injury to an
individual in a particular calling.
The object of the law thus declared
unconstitutional was to protect women
from the exactions of sweat shops"

ANDCoURIER TUESDAY MARCH - 1895

Sons of Liberty in May, 1760-the others
being James Otis, Thomas Gushing,
Samuel Adams and John Hancock. The
next year he was elected with Hancock,
Samuel Sewall, William Phillips and
others little less renowned as selectmen
Of the town. In 1773 Rowe was a lead
ing spirit in the movement that led to
the Boston tea parity some of the tea
was in one of his own vessels, but that
did not deter him from active work to
prevent it's landing. He was on the
platform with Sam Adams and other
citizens of like standing in that big
meeting in the Old South Church, stiff
fleming the backbone of the whole peo-
pie while counseling moderation. It
was he who dropped the significant
who knows how tea will mingle with
salt water?" He was still on the plat
form when the "Mohawks" rushed past
the church on their way to Griffith's
wharf to try that same experiment; so
that he probably had no personal part
in the carrying it out; but he must have
known what was going on. John Rowe
was good man, and a religious one;
he was member an for years warden
of old Trinity church. Altogether, he
was a good sponsor for the sacred cod
fish. If gossipy Judge Sewall, author Of
the famous diary, was the giver Of the
first of all these emblems, that makes
another Interesting association. Mr..
Gallivan gave the commonwealth val
liable monograph which supplements
the important account of the historical
events and triumphs of Massachusetts,
lying back of the adoption Of this em-
blem which Charles Francis Adams con-
tributed through the columns of the Re-
publican. 1t is worth while to have the
old embers of state pride aroused so
worthily as they have been in this whole
discussion.

world, the N. X Fairbank company,
with their factories in Chicago, st,
Louis and Gutenberg, being, without
doubt, the largest producers of soap
products in the United States. This
great business is not of mushroom
growth but the result of persist effort,
broad business methods and intelligent
ana discriminating advertising.
Many brands Of soap are made In
these factories, but Chicago is best ae-
quainted with Santa Claus which long
ago found favor with those who care
for our homes. Gold Dust washing
powder Is known in every hamlet of the
United States, 1t being everywhere rec
ognlzed as the leading product of Its
kind.
Announcement is now made that the
N. X. Fairbank company are about to
take another step forward to turn an
other page in their history Of progress
by introducing another new soap. This
will shortly be advertised In most
striking and original manner.
For twenty-five years this company
was likewise the leading lard producer
of the world, and abandoned lard mere
ly because a new world was to be con-
quered. With keen business perception
they saw in cotton seed oil the basis
for still larger business In a more
Eealthful, more economical and in every
way more desirable food product than
lard. When this new product was per-
fected and their plans carefully arrang-
i a. I Ion fro fba
lard business, and with courage born
of the confidence that they had produc-
ed what the world had so long demand
ed, viz, a substitute for lard, they
launched ''Cottolene." The quick accep-
lance by the public of this really meri-
torious article attracted the attention of
the eyer-ready imitator and the market
was soon flooded with limitations, sail
ing under colors of all descriptions.
But cottolene was first in the heart
of the people and those who used 1t are
not all likely to go back to lard or ac-
cept an imitation.
The N. K. Fairbank company attrib-
ute their success to the merit Of the ar
ticles they produce; to the fact that
their products are staple necessities of
life, not Injuries, and to careful
thoughtful, persistent newspaper adver-
Using, which they continue through all
seasons, in hard times and in good
Surely this is a far wiser plan than the
occasional blast of trumpets and spas
modlc efforts often characteristic of
In the advertising branch of the bust
ness they are represented by the well
known firm Of N. w. Aver & Son OF
Philadelphia, who purchase all their adj

Another fact that may not be general
ly known is that the N. K. Fairbank
company is conducted as one of the de-
partments of the American Cotton Oil
company This fushion of business
forces was consummated for the sake
af the greater facilities that ensue from
a direct connection with the cottonseed
mills to supply the public with the pur-
est article at SO much less cost.
Surely no Chicago industry has
achieved greater success than the N. X. |

There will be meeting ON the battle
field of Shiloh next month that will be
worth seeing or reading about. The
battle was fought thirty-three years
ago, and 114,0OO soldiers on both sides
took part in it. At its last session,
congress appropriated $4,000 for the
purchase of land to preserve the site
Of the battlefield and form a national
park and cemetery. Before the bill
was passed the battlefield association,
consisting Of Union and Confederate
officers, secured an option on a large
tract of land at twelve dollars an acre
Following the favorable action by con-
gress, a great reunion will be held on
the field upon the anniversary Of the
battle, April 9Th and 7th, when Union
and Confederate visitors will unite in
making survey and determining what
land shall be purchased. Upon making
known this determination, the secre-
tary of war will secure title. In ad-
dition to the work of fixing the botn-
daries Of the national preserve, the
representatives of the two armies that
fought over the ground will mark lines
of battle and all points of interest in
the progress of the struggle, in prepara-
ton for permanent monuments. After
this service is performed it is expected
that the eleven northern and nine
southern States represented in the
battle will take action for the erection
of suitable monuments. subject to the
assent of the secretary of war.
The whole affair will be as friendly
and peaceful as the battle thirty-three
years ago was hostile and warlike.
1t will do much to increase the good
feeling that now exists between the
North and the South. The Union for
ever!

The news comes across the Atlantic
that Archbishop Walsh of Dublin has
issued regulation in his diocese di-
recting that mo one, child or adult,
shall be admitted to confirmation or
instructions in preparation for it who
has not been vaccinated, or who, having
reached the age of seven years, has
not recently been vaccinated."
This reads somewhat as if the good
Archbishop were the president of
board of health instead of great
spiritual leader. 1t looks odd to see
vaccination put before salvation, but
perhaps it isn't as odd as it looks.
Perhaps the Archbishops idea is that
it is right that every candidate for
confirmation should be as fit as posi-
BILE, and perhaps he looks upon vac
cination as one of the most important
duties that human beings owe to them
selves and each other. 1t certainly
Is, according to the views of those who
believe in it, and though it is possible
that st. Peter may not ask souls who
present themselves before him seeking
entrance to heaven if their bodies were
properly vaccinated, the Archbishop of
Dublin may not be too strict in requir-
ing those who wish to enter the Church
on earth to furnish proof that they
have done what they could to save
themselves and their fellow beings from
the dreaded and dreadful smallpox.
