TATTOOED WOMEN.
Tbe-LaHidoa Mail gives some in-
lorwation on the taste of women who
submit to the sailor fashion of being
tattqoed. It says that Alfred South nt
6
as
during his career operated on upward
of 15,000 persons, including about 900
English women, the designs in a great
number of cases being of a most pe-
culiar description.
Perhaps the most striking of ail are
representations of two celebrated
paintings, “The Crucifixion” and “Ecce
Homo." One woman has depicted on
her skin a picture representing a flight
of birds. Portraits of husbands and
lovers are popular with women, and
there are several instances in which
women have ben tattooed with their
husbands’ regfmntal crest. Mono-
grams, Initials and family quarterings
abound.
Langauges, too, have their due share
of attention. Many women have writ-
ten on their rms words belonging to
various tongues—Assyrian, Chinese,
Arabic. Religious subjects are very
popular, especially with Roman Cath-
olics.
There are some instances where
ladies have had the inscriptions on
their wedding rings tattooed on their
fingers beneath the ring. Etchings of
bracelets in yellow encircle the arms
of many. Ladies who like to keep
pace with the times may be adorned
with illustrations of motor cars.
Another device is that of a figure of
Cupid disappearing Into the recesses
»f a pewter pot, having cast aside his
bow and quiver This picture, which
has been tattooed on the skin of one
woman only, is entitled “Love Gone to
Pot.”

. THEN AND NOW.
I ini, i lie- above caption the mining
journl, Ores aiul Metals, of Denver
given some data furnished by Harry
A. Lee of tlinl city nn the relative ex-
peiee of early mining and the methods
of today.
In u comparison, it says, of the
profits on ores In the early days, with
Hie present lime, some interesting tig
tires are brought forth. In 1874 the
price of silver being $1.19 per ounce,
a ton of ore containing 08:, ounces was
shipped to the smelter at Black Hawk,
for which ihe miner owner received
net, alter deducting the cost
of mining, transportation und treat-
ment. Ore of exactly the same grade
may be shlped to the smellers today,
at the present price of silver, anil re
turn a profit of $379,35 over ull cost,
In Mardi, 1808, • four and one half
tons of ore. shiped from Georgetown
to Black Hawk, yielded total values of
$1,971 The treatment charges were
$t;U9,
in 18(19. fifty tons sent to Black
Hawk cost $25 jier ton hauling c harges.
In the seventies it cost $8 to $9 per
ton to deliver ore from Silver Plume to
Georgetown.
Tin' following rates prevailed In
Colorado In 1 Sits Not less than one
ounce f silver was paid for. Noi less
than one-quarter ounce gold was paid
for; not less Ilian one per cent of cop-
per, after deducting one ounce of sil-
ver for each per cent of cupper.
Gold was paid lor at the following
rates: For ore containing two ounces
of gold per ton, twenty per cent f Its
value: three ounces, thirty per cent;
four ounces, forty per cent; five
ounces, forty live per cent; six uncus,
fifty per cent.
Matte was hauled by team to the
Missouri river, from St. Louis to New
Orleans by boat, and then reshipped to
Swansea and Germany, it took six
montlto to get returns,
Ten thousand tire brick to build the
smelter at Black Hawk cost $1 per
brick. Iron for doors and structural
Paris cost 25 cents per pound. Lead
was paid for at the market price if it
ran over 25'per cent.
Silver at $1.27 per ounce was paid
for at the rate of 71 cents per mince In
1878 ou a .basis of 127 ounces to the
ton, 258 ounces at the rate of 82 cents
per ounce, 17:! ounces 90 cents per
ounce. These notes are taken from
the actual mill runs. In 1879, with the
price of silver at $1.18 per ounce, the
white metal netted the mine owners at
20 ounces ore six cents per ounce, 35
ounces 19 cents per ounce, 45 ounces
3ti cents. 50 ounces 42 cents, 100
ounces 07 cents, 200 ounces 81 cents,
300 ounces 88 cents, 400 ounces 90
cents, 500 ounces 81 cents ami 1,000
ounces 98 cents,
What was true of Colorado applies
With equal force to the entire west.
All of which goes to show that In the
god Id times there was no such profit
In mining enterprises as may be re-
alized at the present day. with im-
proved transportation facilities and
the remarkable advances achieved in
the metallurgical world.
AMERICAN AND GERMAN WAGE8.
One of the United States consuls in
Germany h«H recently made an inter-
esting report on the wages of working-
men in the kaiser’s domain. In addi-
tion to a comparison of wages, how-
ever, he gives deta’lls concerning liv-
ing expenses In Germany and draws
the line on the basis of the relatlce
purchasing power of wages In the two
countries. It Is generally known, at
shown by the report, that the wages of
a German worker do not average more
than half what an American receives
in the same occupation. The dis-
closes in respect to living expenses lh
the fatherland, however, are.surprising
to the average reader.
It apears that living expenses are
higher In Germany than they are in
the United States, That Is to say, the
wages of ti German worker will not go
half far as those of nn American In
the same line, In meeting domestic ex-
penses. it is shown that meats, par-
ticularly beef, cost much more in Ger-
many Ilian In Gils country, while but-
ter, Hour and some other standard arti-
cles of food are generally higher In
price. Most surprising of all Is the
statement that "even vegetables com-
mand a higher price In the German
markets than In the United States.”
Commenting on this report the
Washington Host says:
“The American laboring man would
rise In revolt before be would even at-
tempt to gel along on wages paid to
workmen In the same line in Germany
or any other foreign country. He
has not yet been compelled to adjust
Ills life and work so as to make every
turn count, to trim edges und save
corners, economizing here and prun-
ing there In order to have a share of
the comforts, to s'ny nothing of the
luxuries of life. It is difficult to fore-
cast results if the African workman
wen- laced with the necessity of look-
ing upon meat as a luxury, to be eaten
on holldaya or on an average of once
a week In specially prosperous times;
If lie had to use bread made of the
cheapest grade of Hour and were com-
pelled to count pennies In the matter
of purchasing his tobacco, buying
amusement tickets und Indulging in
the forme of recreation that now call
for a very considerable share of Ills
earnings.—lais Angeles Herald.

broken loose—Mldnigliteatis. It al-
taeks persons who visit restaurants
