VALUE OF FINGERS.

what the Various Countries or Eu-
rope Allow For Their Loss.
The different fingers are far from
having the same value in the eyes of
the law with reference TO their func-
tional utilization. Much the most i'm
portant is the thumb. for without il
prehension would be very imnerfect.
The hand is no longer pinchers, but
merely claw, when deprived of the
thumb. 1t may be estimated that the
thumb represents fully n 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 - per cent for the left to % per
cent for the right. In Germany &C
and 2S per cent and even as high rs
1873 per cent has been awarded. The
percentage is based on 100 as the total
industrial value of the hand previous
TO the accident, n loss of 80 per cent
representing half Of the value. etc.
The total loss Of the index finger
causes an incapacity estimated ut 10
TO 10 per cent in Austria, &c 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 is

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 n great loss
OF force is observed in the hand when
the finger is amputated Yet almost
all the authorities ascribe less impor-
lance TO il than the index. The italian
law allows per cent. the Austrian :
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 10 the middle one. The
Italian law is liberal, with s 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 1t serves as a point of support
for the hand. 1t may be remarked here
that the artist has not been taken into
consideration in these cases.-PhiladeI-

House Painting Problem.

prettiest color for house surrounded
with green grass and trees, and we've
had our house at Fusilade painted that
way. The neighbors, we find, all agree
that it is hideous. Now, why should /,
who comparatively seldom get a view
of the outside of my own house, be al

who regard it as such, yet have to

the blues We could enjoy their house

Spikes andB]|t Heads Cut OFT
As Il By a P|aner.
Facts Established at coroner's In.
quest Held Tuesday.

| New York, Feb. 19.-The fact that 4
! spreading rail caused the wreck; of the
| White Plains express on the New York
Central Railroad last Saturday night
| i'll which q persons were killed was de-
! vclorcd at the cOrcner's inquest today.
/ Under the examination of Assistant
! District Attorney Nathan A. Smyth. the
Nav York Ccntral's engineer of main
| tcnance Of way. H. S. Ballet, testified
| that he found that the end Of one of
the rails on the outside of the curve
| at the point Of derailment had been
| sprung sideway a distance of five inch
| eS The other end Of the rail was held
| in place, but where the rail spread the
srikcs holding the outside of the rail
| to the ties had been sliced off as if by
a planor. The heads of the bolts hold
| iE:r the end of this rail to the next rail
were broken off.
A tremendous force. Mr.. Ballet said,
must have been exertcd upon the rail
to cut off the head of the spikes, but
| he did not know whether the speed of
the train would have been sufficient.
nc said that he found nothing to in
dictate that the strain was eXerted by
anything except a train of too great
the track.
Francis Boardman, division cngl-
npcr. said that the curve was con-
structed on estimates Of weight Of 80
tons per - feet, going at the rate OF co
miles per hour Twenty-seven feet is

trio locomotives.

builder testified that while the retain
inc rim OF one of the trailing wheels OF
the first motor had dropped off. he be-
li4vCd this occurred after the accident.
He said he found no defect in any of
the wheels which could have caused
the accident.
Y. Il. Rodgers the engineer in charge
of the two electric locomotives which
drew the wrecked train, testified that
he was engineer Of steam locomotive
for II years, ran q subway train for
two years. was employed by the New
York Central last October as an assist
