VAL UE OF FINGERS.
What the various Countries of Eu-
rope Allow For Their Loss,

The different fingers are far from
having the same value in the eyes of
the law ~.ith reference to their func-
honal utilization. Much the most i'm
portant is the thumb, for without it
prehension would be very imperfect
The hand is no longer pinchers, but
merely claw, when deprived of the
thumb. 1t may be estimated that the
thumb represents fully third of the
total value of the hand. The French
courts allow 10 to 30 per cent value
for the right hand and 10 to 10 for
the left. The Austrian schedule gives
from 10 per cent for the left to % per
cent for the right. In Germany 90
and % per cent and even as high as
1913 per cent has been awarded. The
percentage Is based on 100 as the total
industrial value Of the hand previous
to the accident, loss of 80 per cent
representing half of the value, etc.
The total loss of the index finger
causes an incapacity estimated at 10
to 10 per cent in Austria, 1G to 20 per
cent In Germany, 10 per cent for the
left and 20 per cent for the right by
Italian courts. The French allow L.
per cent
The middle finger Is OF much more
Importance than the index, states Dr.
Meiguan. whom we are citing and who
Is no small authority, for great loss
or force Is observed In the hand when
the finger is amputated. Yet almost
all the authorities ascrlbe less impor-
tance to it than the index. The Italian
law allows per cent, the Austrian s
to 10 per cent
The ring finger is the least important.
Its total loss often does not cause in
capacity. The Austrian tariff assimi-
lates this finger to the middle one. The
italian law Is liberal, with per cent.
The French and German tribunals Of
ten refuse indemnity, considering the
incapacity resulting from the loss as
very slight.
The little finger may be compared to
the ring, except In the professions In
which it serves as point Of support
for the hand. 1t may be remarked here
that the artist has not been taken into
consideration in these cases.-Philadel-

Horrifying Conditions in London

London, June 16.-English meat
sellers and packers have not been slow
to make. capital out Of the American
meat agitation, and there is a concen-
trated effort on their part to close
American meat and canned goods from
the British market. It is, however, a
case of people in glass houses throwing
stones, for according to an official
statement made to the writer by DR.. F.
Cooper, late chairman Of the London
County council, and one Of the fore
most authorities on foods in England,
English butchers and packers are de-
cidedly not in position to grid at
the Americans.
ss.The furious outcry in England
against American canned goods of
every description, and the importa-
ton Of American meat in particular is,
in my. opinion, deliberately made-up
agitation said DR.. Cooper yesterday.
$ Dealers seem to have combined in
denouncing American goods, without
waiting for verifcation from the United
States. Every wild statement is cir
culated as absolute truth, even to the
extent that American packing houses
are guilty of making canniba1s of the
public. While do not defend Ameri.
