Labor has its sacred rights. as well
as its dignity. Paramount among the
rights Of the laboring classes Is their
privilege TO organize. or TO form them
selves into societies for their mutual
protection and benefit, It Is IN accord
ance with natural right that those who
have one common interest should unite
together for it's promotion, writes Car
dinal Gibbons. in the October Putnam's
Monthly.
Throughout the United Ststtes and
c reat Britain there is today 7oDtinu-
o rs network OF syndicates and trusts,
of companies and partnerships, so that
every operation, from the construction
of a leviathan steamship 70 the manu-
facture OF a needle is controlled by q
corporation. When corporations thus
combine. it Is quite natural that mech
anics and laborers should follow their
example. It would be as unjust to deny
the worldngmen the right TO band to-
gether because of the abuses incident
TO such combinations. Is to withhold
the same right from capitalists. because
they sometimes unwaTrantably seek TO
crush or absorb weaker rivals.
A contest between the employer and
the employed Is as unreasonable and as
hurtful TO the social body as a war be-
tween the head and hands would be 70

They Needed the Medisins,

Some years ago a railway was be-
ing made In the west of Scotland, and
1t was arranged that each of the nu-
merous laborers employed should pay
penny per week to a medical prac-
titioner, so that they might have his
services In the event Of accident or
medicine In case of illness.
During the summer and autumn nell
their illness nor accident occurred.
But when a severe winter followed
all at once the "navigators" began to
call on the doctor for castor oil.
Each brought his bottle, into (which
an ounce WAS poured, until the oil was
exhausted, and the doctor was forced
to send to town for further supply.
When that. too. was getting low the
doctor one day quietly asked Il healthy
looking fellow what was wrong with
the men that they required SO much
castor oil.
Nothing wrong at all, doctor" he re-
piled, but we grease our boots with

The earliest traces of the English
house of commons are found in the
year 1865. That year Simon de Mont
fort, earl of Leicester. caused writs to
be issued In the kings name requiring
each sheriff of n county to return to
parliament which he proposed to
hold two knights for the shire under
his Jurisdiction. two citizens for each
city within its limits and two bur
gesses for each borough. The parlia-
ment thus called met in London on
Jan. 90. 1865. and was practically the
first in which the people, as dis
tinguished from the nobility and
aristocracy. had ever participated. 1t
was not until the revolution of 1853.

Love Sonos Of the Birds.

1t Is a mistaken idea that a bird
sings directly to and for the ear of his
mate alone, wooing her with his music
Most of the finest songs are sung to
other males after the stress of rivalry
Is past and each little lady's love Sc
cured. If the motive of the singing
were to attract the female the best
songs would be heard during the first
stage of love making But birds go
very slyly about their mating. and
when a male bursts out in song one
can be pretty sure that the demure
wife Is very busy over important af-
fairs of her own. Every close observer
of birds must notice that the female Is
often Indifferent to the singing of her
mate. As the love season comes on
a bird naturally oyerfows into song
1t may be to attract some female near
er, though every bird has distinct
significant love call, which carries as
far as hi. song. The moment she ap.

ture extension work and will be di-
vided into the following courses:
The correspondence is given by

object of the correspondence course
is to assist the farmers and help them
solve the various problems which
country life presents. This course
covers every phase of rural life such
as farm crops and crop production,
dairying, poultry, home economics,
etc. The correspondence course is
given by means of text books and
pamphlets. The pamphlets are fur
nished gratis and the student is ex
pected to furnise his own books. The
expense of the course is slight as the
few books are the only cost.
