POORLY PAID JUDGES.
Justices of the Supreme Court Who
pend Nearly all their Salaries in
Car Fare.

The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
tue United States receives $4,000 per an
mum. The eight associate justices receive
$4,000 each. This is in full for all serv ices
rendered. They are tn, poorest paid of any
of the officials Of the government, for out of
their annual income they are compelled to
pay all travelling expenses They have to
go on al extensive circuit every year ana
pay not only car fare but oil incidental ex.
penses, in sustaining the dignity of their iu
dicial position.
If Associate Justice Field was not indie
pendent Of his salary, it is said, ha could not
actually afford to hold the position Tho
expense OF crossing and recrossng the COLI
tnent with his family and the cost of travel

How Wooden Spoo.s Are Maae.

Birch wood is preferred. The birch
is first sawed into sticks four OF five feet
long and seven-cighths of an inch to
three inches square, according to the
size of the spool to be produced. These
sticks are thoroughly seasoned. They
ire sawed into short blocks, and the
Nlocks are dried in a hot-air kiln. AT
she time they are sawed hole is bered
through them. One whirl of the littln
block against sharp knives, shaped by
pattern, makes the spools at the rate
of one q second. A small boy feeds
the spool machine, simply placing the
blocks in a spout, and throwing out tho
knotty OF defective stock. The machine
is automatic, but cannot do the sorting.
The spools ere revolyed rapidly in
drums and polish them ;elvcs. Fcf
some purposes they are dyed yellow,
red. or black. They are made i'll hun.
