At Grass Valley the machne-drillers paid f75 cents per shift than trammers and shovel ters for the purpose of encouraging the miners Moreover the oilieds attracting work men, because the owells the unsklled laborer fusuay receives $4 per shift against the $3.5O, or even $3, paid at the metal mines.

IT IS NOT so NOW.

Chautauqua lecturer, having in mind the exper- fences of Calico and others, said that if one con- ceived great idea discovered great principle and wanted to live in peace and contentment he should keep idea principle locked in his breast. That was probably true in the past, but it is no longer. In these days when one conceives an idea he likes he only shouts it to the world but he organizes political party, league, bloc, association, church or something to boost it along, and from a casual survey of the situation it would seem that nearly every has caught big idea. The idea promoters not only talk loud and long in perfect safety, but good many of them to profit fairly satisfactorily in their promotions

 The old-fashio1scd woman who thought it was immodcst to even go around the house. without her corset on in the hottest weather now has a daughter who would no more think of wearing ono of those things in summer than she would of wearing woolen undorclothss
 The reason why a girl doesn't tell the young man who is calling on her about his faults is because she wants to get married.
 Pleasures are flecting enough, but the bills for them camp down on you like poor relatives.
 Whatever else daughter learned al the finishing school, mother knows she didn't learn how to halp put the finishing touches on pile of dirty dishes.
 Before marriage they are blind to each others fauLs and afterwards to each others good points. Women won't listen to what thair husbands tell thsm. they say, and some Of thom-jldging from the way they appear on the streets-won', even listen to what their mirrors tel them.
 A woman may have all the con fidence in the world in a man-before she marries hin. After that she wouldn't trust any man as far as she could see him.
