IT is customary in Massachusetts to open
the sessions of the Supreme Court with
prayer AT the recent term in Fitchburg
the clergyman in attendance, after asking
divine favor and guidance for the presid-
ing Judge, proceeded to earnestly implore
the Lord for similar blessings upon the
Judges wife and children, that they might
be spared in life and In health during his
absence, and that at the close of the term,
he might be once more restored to the
bosom of his family. As the presiding

TIE value of child's life has been fixed
in one of the New York courts at 81 500.
A boy three years and two months old
having been run over and killed by a
street car, suit for damages was brought
by his father, and after patient hearing
