Value OF Human Life.

TOLEDO, o., Feb. 16.-Decisions in two
damage suits against the Ann Arbor rail-
way for the deaths of William Beaulien and
George Alberts, employees of the road
were rendered here to-day by Judge Kicks.
They are Of unusual Importance because
OF determining the maximum sum to be
recovered in the federal court in cases
of this kind. Judge Kicks said lone of
the most difficult questions for a court to
determine is a correct and just measure
of damages in case OF this kind 1t is
hard TO say that a human life is not worth
such sum as the master has given in
this case. because the records show these
men were of excellent habits, fond and
affectionate husbands, and in every way a
help and comfort to their families and
useful to the public. In a large number of
States where the limit for the loss of life
has been fixed by the Legislature the sum
OF $4,000 has been fixed as the maximum
allowance to be made. This is a legislative
construction OF a fair maximum sum to be
awarded in such cases. ! think the court
may properly. therefore, accept this con-
cordanu judgment of so many different
state legislatures as justifying 1t in saying
that the maximum ought not In any one
of these cases to exceed that sum-

cats of solid or ''seIf-color,' etc. The COM
parative points for judging were as follows:
Length of fur, quality of fur, frill size and
carriage of tail. richness OF color and purity

IMPORTANT POINTS.
The hong haired cats derive their origin
from the Indian BengaleSe and other wild
cats of Asia and Russia. They are va
rioHsly known as Ansora. Russian, Per
sian, Indian, and Chinese, and are judged
according TO the quality and color of their
coats. These may be woody and coarse or
a Is fine in texture as silk. Commonly there
is "A mixture of the two the under garment
being woody and the upper one silky.
Around the neck where the fur meets
the fur uf the cheeks is a beautiful crest
Of hair known as the Lord Ma yor's Chain "
which is very important point to be oh

ness. and character of the tail are also hints
for the couDoisSeur OF cats. He would tell

and that a dark slate blue AnguSs with

order. The Persian cat of greatest value
is the black of deep hair with flowing name

THE SHORT HAIRED VARIETY.
The white cat of pedigree must be spot
