WHAT FINGERS ARE WORTH.
Thumb Held to Represent a Third of
the Whole Hands Value.

The different fingers are far from hav-

law with reference to their functional
utilization. Much the most important

ger pinchers, but merely claw when
deprived of the thumb 1t may be es-

third of the total value of the hand.
The French court allows - to 80 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 20 to
% per cent and even as high as 1873 per

no small authority for great loss of

authorities ascribe less Importance to it

The ring finger is the least important.

Sugar from pumpkins will be the
next source of wealth which will be de-
veloped in Iowa, for the authorities at
the agricultural college declare high
grade sugar will be made from them by
a process even more simple than that
required to make it from beets. Exper-
iments have resulted in the production
OF a species of pumpkin which contains
per cent Of sugar, and it Is the pre-
diction that in three years the sugar
clement will be increased to IL per cent.
This IS equal to the quantity Of sugar
found In the best variety Of sugar beet.
Because pumpkins are easily raised and
a tonnage may be produced to the acre
which will exceed that of sugar beets,
the new sugar pumpkin will open up a
valuable field for the Iowa farmers.
The pumpkins may be planted in the
cornfelds, and the same soil which will
produce corn may be made to produce
a crop of pumpkins at the same time
