The INDICATOR was misinformed
last week in regard to the extent Of the
cut in wages made at the Philadsiphis

per cent the men were reduced 25

therefore getting 81 so per day instead
of *1.31. 1t is pleasure to be able
to state that the Guggenhesm Bros.
pay nobody less than t1.5O per day.

Reading fo the Children.

A child's tastes for reading and the style of books he or she learns to admire are governed largely by the parents. Nearly all children enjoy having some one read to them. Now, if before they can peruse interesting books for them selves their taste becomes cultivated through the selections they hear, there will be no danger of their wandering astray into those bypaths of literature that are not healthful, mind invigor- ating resorts. Some skeptic probably observes that we would advise reading the "Iliad" to 4-year-old listener. h. deed mol That would be very silly, be- ing far beyond the comprehension of the infant mind, but there is poetry as worthy and as pure as Homer's that ht- tie folks learn to appreciate and love.
 Then in prose, what child will not de- light in Andersen and Grimm's fairy tales, and later on Robinson Crusoe," |"
 Swiss Family Robinson" Arabian Nights" "Gulliver's Travels" "Nicho- las Nickleby" and David Copperfeldf' Scott, Dickens, Thackeray, Cooper, Irv- ing and Hawthorne are all as delight ful to the youths and maidens in their teens as to the aged bookworm. Read ing aloud around the evening lamp is a family delight that has laid the founda- ton in many youthful minds of knowl- edge of the best and noblest works in English literature. Philadelphia Times.
