Who is the most learned man in the
world? asks the New Orleans Plea

may be made out for Herr Won Goss-
Ter, the oberpresident of West Prus-
STA, who bias just been made a doctor
of philosophy honoris causa by the
philosophical faculty of the Univer-
sity of Halle. He is thereby the pos
SCISSOR of a doctors diploma in all the

it reasonably certain that in the past
thirty years New York's police force
has levied and collected 100000, 900
blackmail. The shady houses in New
York have paid in hush money" esti-
mates the Atlanta Constitution, "$3, =
$50, 900 a year to the police officials.
The blood money paid by the green
goods men amounts to $l4, 900 per an
mum. The policy writer's have paid
the police $40, 200 a year. A con-
servative estimate shows that the
gamblers have paid S72, 600 year for
this unlawful protection. About two
thousand merchants pay $1,000 a
year for the privilege of obstructing
the sidewalks with their goods. The
saloon keepers pay about 81, 75O. 900 a
year to escape prosecution for their
violations of law. The evidence shows
that this blackmail has been levied
for thirty years, and at the lowest es-
innate it must amount to 500, 900, 600,
and it may possibly run $50, 100000
above that sum. Such chapter OF

been exposed. Andyet it must be adj

lice officers and privates who are as
honest, brave and efficient as any III

The money value of hands and
fingers has been made the subject of
an interesting estimate by one of the
German miners accident insurance
companies. According to this the loss
of both hands represents loss of 100
per cent. efficiency, or, in other words,
the whole ability to earn living.
Losing the right hand depreciates the
value of an individual as worker
seventy to eighty per cent, while the
loss of the left hand represents from
sixty to seventy per cent. CT the earn
lngs of both hands The thumb is
reckoned to be worth from twenty to
thirty per cent. of the earnings, the
first finger of the right hand is valued
at from fourteen to eighteen per cent !;
that of the left hand, at from eight to
1876 per cent The middle finger is
valued at no more than from seven to
nine per cent, while the little finger
is worth from nine to twelve per cent.
The difference in the percentages, it is
explained, is occasioned by the differ
ence in the trades followed by the in
jured ones.
