Peculiar Industry.

FInm the Grants Pasa Courier:
Last Saturday afternoon was pay day
at the Pacific pine needle factory for the
needles the children picked and deliver.
ed during the week. The scene was an
attractive one. there being at least l25
children Of all sizes an the platform at
one time awaiting ,heir turn 10 be paid
of. Mr.. and Mrs. Cords have adopted
the plan of giving the children q check
book which will contain the amounts de-
livered during the weet that each one
may keep an account of the amount for
which he will expect pay on Saturday.
The children may deliver In small quSn.
titles each day and have them weighed
at 5 O'Clock or later. Mr.. and Mrs. Cords
are very kind to the children and they
are very anxious that the little fellows
may make a few dimes, Otherwise IL
would be much less trouble to have them
delivered by the wagon load. Several
tons we're weighed and paid for last Sat
urday and the children vent home
happy.

PHILOSOPHY OF RIGHTiI LIVING

A gOnd lecture is very important
thing in a community and is worthy OF
notice. None better has ever been de-
liyered 10 ALBANY than the one delivered
last hight by DIR. A. d. Be2rdsley OF
Kentucky, on the subject at the head Of
this article. Though before students IN
the college chapel, only a few STUDENTS
we're present, thus missing not only a
treat but something that would have
done them good the rest os their lives
The lecture is full of cream with suffi-
cient spice for keeping the audience in
good hnmor. No one could hear il with
out being better and wiser. Not attempt

give = few OF the thoughts presented; I;
splendidly Illustrated by anecdotes.
