Chief Justice Fullers House Rent,

The rumor which has been curren,
for some weeks that Chief Justice Full
Ter had purchased the old-fashioned
house and beautiful garden at the
junction of NJ street, Vermont avenue
and Fourteenth street, Washington,
has caused considerable comment on
the insufficient salary of the Chief
Justice Of the Uniled States. The
purchase prics named is 500 900, but
this is pure gueswork, but the figures
lead one to consider how far the Chief
Justices salary gees in helping him to
carry on the establishment that So
ciety in this city requires from him.
Calculate upon 6 per cent. basis, and
upon cost of 500, 900, the Chief Jus
toes annual outlay for house rent
would be $4,000 year and the inter
tst upon the purchase money, to which
2 per cent. more should be added for
taxes, wear and tear, water rent and
insurance, making a total Of 1000
per annum as the cest of living in q
$1,000 house. This being true, there
is but pitiful 90 800 left for house.
keeping and personal expenses. Any
one can readily see at this rate that no
man can accept the Office of Chief Jus
6ce of the United States unless he has
a large personal fortune upon entering
upon the duties of that high Office.
This by itself is sufficient to make any
reasonable man agree that the Chief
Justice should receive more money for
his services.

Wages I'm the United States in 1900.

The condition of the American
wages class nearly a century ago is
full of instruction. In the large cities,
unskilled workmen were hired by the
day, bought their own food, and
found their own lodgings. But in
the country, on the farms, or wherever
a hand was employed on some public
work, they were fed and lodged by
the employer, and given a few dollars
month. On the Pennsylvania canals
the diggers ate the coarsest diet, were
housed in the rudest sheds, and paid
Sc month from May to November,
and 50 month from November to
May. Hod carriers and mortar mixers,
diggers and choppers, who from 1898
to 1900 labored on the public build
ings and cut the streets and avenues of
Washington, received $40 a year, or
if they wished, $50 for all the work
they could perform from March l to
December 20. The hours of work
were invariably from sunrise to sun
set. Wages at Albany and New York
were Ss., or, as money then went, 40
cents day; at Lancaster, IS to so q
month; elsewhere in Pennsylvania
workmen were content with Sc in
summer and S5 in winter. At Balti-
more, men were glad to be hired at
1Sd. day. None by the month asked
more than Sc. At fredericksburg the
price for labor was from S5 to 81. In
Virginia white men employed by the
year were given 16 pounds currency;
slaves, when hired, were clothed, and
their masters paid l pound a month.
A pound, Virginia money, was, in
Federal money, SS.SS. The average
rate of wages all over the country was
sos a year, with food and perhaps
lodging. Out Of this small sum the
workman had, with his wife's help,
to maintain his family.

THoUGHTs OF THE DYING.

In the Societe de Biologie, Fere
affirmed that a dying person in his last
moments thinks of the chief events of
his life. Persons resuscitated from
drowning, epileptics with grave at
tacks, persons dying and already uncon-
ssius, but mOnentarily brought back TO
consciousness by ether injections to
utter their last thoughts revert to mo-
mentous events of their life. Such an
ether injection revives once more the
normal disposition of cerebral activity,
already nearly eXtinguished, and it
might be possible at this moment to
learn of certain important events of the
past life. Brown-Sequard mentions
the remarkable fact that persons who,
in consequence of grave cerebra affec-
tons have been yparalyzed for years,
get back at once when dying their
sensibility, mobility, and intelligence.
All such facts clearly show that at the
moment of dissolution important
changes take place, reacting upon the
composition of the blood and the func-
tons of the organs.

soAPsToNE AND ITS USES.

A writer in a London journal calls
attention TO the unappreciated uses and
preservative qualities of the soapstone,
a material, he says which possesses
what may be regarded as extraordinary
qualities in withstanding atmospheric
influences, those especially which have
so much to do with the corrosion of
iron and steel, and from experiments
made it is said that no other material
is capable Of taking hold of the fiber
of iron and steel so readily and firmly
as this. In China sOapstone is largely
used for preserving structures built of
sandstone and other stones liable to
crumble from the effects of ihe atmos-
phere; and the covering with powder,
ed sOapstone in the form of paint on
some Obelisks in that country, COM
posed of stone liable to atmospheric
deterioration, has been the means of
preserving them intact for hundreds of
years.

CONSUMPTION OF TIES.

Assuming the entire railroad system
of the United States to be 160 900
miles, as appears from "Poor's Man,
ual, )" with the addition of the lines in
construction during the current year,
and taking 2,640 ties per mile, we have
In use at least 422, 400, 900 ties. The
life of these ties varies according to
their quality and the climatic con-
ditions; but in the East, where only
the best ties are employed, the aver
sge life is found to be about six>Eears,
while in the West, where poorer quail
ty of timber often has been accepted,
and where dry rot and other disadvan-
tages have to be contended with, the
average life is from three to five years !;
so that even after allowing for a few
exceptional cases in which ties Tuay
last ten years, the average life Of ties
all over the country cannot be counted
as more than five years. 1t follows,
therefore, that the annual consumption
must be about 81 500, 900, which, With
steady increase of railroad building,
mnst soon exceed 100, 900, ,OO0-a gi-

REMOVAL OF TATTOO MARKS.

The following method is recon-
-hended by NJ. Variot in the Revue
iScientifque: The skin is first covered
with a concentrated solution of tannin,
and retattooed with this in the parts to
be cleared. Then an ordinary nitrate
of silver crsyOn is rubbed over these
parts, which become black by forma-
ton Of tannate of silver in the super
fetal layer of the dermis. Tannin
powder is sprinkled on the surface
several times a day for some days to
dry it. a dark crust forms, which
loses color in three or four days, and,
in a fortnight or so, comes away, leav-
ing reddish scar, free % tattoo marks,
and, in a few months, little noticeable.
Ii is well TO do the work in patches
