THE PRINCE OF BUFFERS.
Els RESPONSIBILITIES Saved His Mis-
tress in an Awkward
Situation.

The late Thomas Coldwell, the inventor
Of the lawn mower, was a great admirer
Of witty and alert persons.
At dinner in New York Mr.. Coldwell
said OF famous millionaire:
This man, through hard luck, once
had to work a. a butter. He made an ex-
cellent butler. Let me give you an in
stance Of the sort Of work he did.
His mistress was giving dinner party
Of Il covers on certain evening. One
of the courses consisted of sca!loped oy-
eters il silver shells. The set Of silver
shells was broken-there were only IL.
The mistress, therefore, told the butler
that she would not eat any oysters, and
thus there would be jLst enough to go
around.
THE butler, when the oyster course
came, placed before the lady one of the
shells. To his horror, she did not de-
cline it. Calmly she let it rest before
her. II she started to eat it, one guest
would be short Of oysters. What was
the matter with her, anyhow?
The butler watched her nervously. She
tick up her fork. She was actually about
to plunge it into the dainty shell. Then
the man, ever alert and ready, few to her
side and bent over her respectfully:
Pardon me, madam, lie murmured,
but You said / was to remind you that
the doctor forbade your eating oysterds

WOULD you LosE3
Relative Value OF Thumb and Fin.
gers as Figured In Various
Countries,

The Thumt.-The different fingers an
far frcsa having the same value with
reference to their functional utilization
Much the most important, says Accents
OF Travel, is the thumb, for without Il
prehension would be very imperfect
The hand is no longer pincers, but mere
" claw, when deprived Of the thumb
It may be estimated that the thumb rep
resents fully third Of the total value
Of the hand. The total loss Of the thumb
is estimated by Brouardel, secretary OF
the Societe lie Medicine Legale, as Is to
80 per cent. for the right and ten to II
per cent. for the left hand, except for
workers in art, when he estimates 40 to
so for the right and Is to 40 for the left
hand. The Austrian schedule gives Is
to Is per cent. InGermany 20, % and ur
to 1873 per cent. has been awarded. On
account Of the great difference result.
ing in our opinion from the use of both
hands, we prefer, In the professions not
requiring special hand skill, 30 per cent
for the right and 20 per cent. for the left
The percentage is based on 100 as the to.
talindustrial value of the hand previous
~ to the accident, loss of so per cent
representing half Of that value and q
loss of Is per cent. one-fourth, etc.
The Index Finger. The total loss Of
the index finger causes an incapacity
estimated at ten to Is per cent. in Aus
tria; 16 to 20 per cent. in Germany; Ii
to Is per cent. by Thiersch; 20 per cent
for the right and Is per cent. by the
French tribunals; 10 to Is per cent. fol
the right and to Is per cent. for the left
by Brouardel, except for workers in art
These figures differ but little from one
another, and the figures from 10 to "a
per cent. according to the side, may be
adopted.
The Middle Finger. The total loss OF
the middle finger is regarded by Cole
biewski as often more prejudicial than
that of the index; this is an isolated
opinion; almost all the authorities
ascribe less Importance to the middle
finger than to the index. Yet a great
loss OF force is observed in the hand
when the finger is amputated The fol-
lowing are estimates: The Austrian tar
i'll. s to 10 per cent; Brouarde1, to IL
per cent, except for workers in art;
Thiersch, 10 to 20 per cent; the Italian
law, per cent. The figures to II per
cent. often are nearest the truth.
The annular tringl finger is the least
important. Its total loss often does not
cause incapacity. The Austrian tariff
assimilates the loss at to 10 per cent. !;
thesItalian law, per cent. The French
and German judicial decisions are often
In accord in refusing indemnity, consid-
ering the incapacity resulting from their
loss SIS very slight.
The auricular uittle) finger may be
compared to the annular, except in the
professions in which it serves as a point
OF support for the hand.

Rank Of Cities.

The incomplete census figures indi-
cate that the population OF New York
is now just under 4. 0O0, goo. or. to be
exact, $685.. l54. The probabilities are
that Manhattan and the Bronx alone
will be found to have population Of
2,378, $3.50. The standing Of New York
among the big cities of the world is
shown by the following figures: Lon

and next to New York are Paris, with
