second to first class. He was appointed
to the same position by President Harrl-
son. Gen. Bryant was for many years
a member of the Republican state CEN
trail committee and from 1900 to 1904
was it's chairman Since 1900 he has
been superintendent of public property
In religion Gen. Bryant is a Unitarian
Gen. Bryant was married to Susan A.
Gibson. a native of Fitchburg, Mass,
September 81, 1858 They had three
children, Hattie E., George E. and
Frank.
Carried Dinner Pail as Judge.
Gen. Bryant is a remarkable man in
two respects at least He has held pub
lie office practically all his life after
attaining his majority. In addition to
this he is successful farmer, though
giving scant attention to his farm.
Il do my farming nights and Sun
days" said ne TO a friend, yet he was a
progressive, if not always methodical,
farmer. Gen. Bryant always makes his
home on his farm, and during the twelve
years that he was county judge his habit
invariably was to drive in from his farm
to the courthouse in the morning, bring
ing his dinner in a pail, and drive home
in the evening.
He discovered" La Toilette.
Gen. Bryant is one of the most careful
politicians the state has ever known.
For half century the inside workings
of the Republican machine, state and To-
cal, have felt the influence of his fine
hand. He was the first to recognize the
political possibilities in Senator r. NJ.
La Toilette, picking him up as soon as
the latter left the university and pressing
him forward with unwavering loyalty
and confidence since. He is known as
the political godfather of La Toilette,
and friendship deep and beautiful has
existed between them from that early

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

The different fingers are far from hay
ing the same value in the eyes of the
law with reference to their functional
utilization. Much the most important
Is the thumb, tor without it prehenslon
would be imperfect The hand is no lon
deprived of the thumb. 1t may be es-
timated that the thumb represents fully
a third of the total value of the hand.
The French court allows Is to 30 per
cent value for the right hand and 10 TO
Is for the left; the Austrian schedule
gives from 10 per cent. for the left to 20
per cent for the right; in Germany 70 to
% per cent and even as high as 1873 per
cent. has been awarded. The percentage
is based on 100 rs the total industrial
value of the hand previous to the acct
dent, q loss of 80 per cent. representing
half of the value, etc.
The total loss OF the index niger
causes an incapacity estimated at 10 to
Is per cent in Austria, IS to 20 per cent.
in Germany. 10 per cent. for the left and
20 per cent. for the right by the Italian
courts; the French allow Is per cent.
The middle finger is of much more i'm
portance than the index, says DR.. Helg-
uan, whom we are citing, and who is
no small authority for 4 great loss OF
force is observed in the hand when the
finger is amputated. Yet almost all the
authorities ascribe less Importance to it
than the index. The Italian law allows
per cent, the Austrian to 10 per
cent.
The ring finger is the least important.
It's total loss often does no cause inca
paCity. The Austrian tariff assimilateS
this finger to the middle one. The Ital-
ian law is liberal with s per cent. The
French and German tribunals often re-
fuse indemnity, considering the incapaci-
ty resulting from the loss as very light.
The little finger may be compared to
the ring, except in the professions in
which it serves as a point of support for
the hand. 1t may be remarked here that
the artist has not been taken into con-
sideration in these cases.-Philadelphia

TO INCREASE TRAVEL.

Discussing the question as to whether
low rate would increase travel, the com
mission says:
For the purpose Of putting the question
to practical test, we would strongly urge
that. the 500 mile book be placed on the
market and sold for $40, good for purchaser
and any member of his family desiring to
use it, say for a period OF one year from
date Of purchase. Such action would re-
suit in getting practical test.
If it proves disappointing after a fair
test ard the revenues to the carriers were
being unreasonably depleted, the desired
necessity would at least be acquired If it
accomplishes what there is reason to hope,
the difficulty would be nearer q solution
We are not unmindful Of the objections,
legal and otherwise, that can be made to
this proceeding. If at any future time it
appears to the commission that the earn
ings will justify reduction beyond those
made, we have of course, the right to
make them. This statement is in no sense
to be considered as a threat or an attempt
to do by indirection what neither the COM
mission nor the Legislature could do di-
Iectly.

mile would reduce the earnings of this COM
pany and of it's principal competitors below
the point to which they ought to be re-
duced in Wisconsin. We think a reduction
to 21s cents per mile could be made without
affecting the tickets that are now usually
sold below that figure and that no violence
or radical effect in the securities of the
company will follow.
1t is usually better to make our journeys
by reasonable stretches than by violent
spurts, and it frequently happens that he
who pursues the latter course will fall by
the wayside. We are now prepared to jour
ney toward the 2-cent fare in the near or
distant future. We all hope that it will
come soon and come without trenching the
haste, the less speed should not be forgot

REDUCED RATES STAND.

In discussing the question as to
whether some people should be allowed
to travel cheaper than others the COM
mission says:
We must deal with the conditions as
they have grown up and have become es,,
tablished. Carriers are not selling reduced
rate tickets to one class of travellers be-
cause they like them better than some
other class, or pay higher rate; they, do
so because they believe 1t to be for their
own judgment is that the custom should
not be abolished, but rather that it might

The Life Plant.

Visitors to Bermuda often bring back
to this country as a souvenir of their
trip the leaves Of ali interesting plant
of the house leek family. 1t Is known
as the life plant, and when the leaves
begin to shrivel and fade they send
out little shoots which In turn bear
leaves that continue to grow and re-
main fresh and green for months The
leaves are about four inches long, rich
green In color and of a smooth waxen
texture. If you take one Of the leaves
and pin 1t to the wall indoors, It will
begin to sprout within three or four
days, be 1t winter or summer. At first
the top portion of the leaf will begin
to wither and shrivel up, and this Is
likely TO continue until the upper half
has lost its green color. Then tiny
white roots will sprout from the edges
and In time diminutive green leaves
will appear on these. These little Off
shoots will sometimes grow to be an
inch long and contain several pairs of
leaves The limit of their existence
seems to depend upon the amount of
heat and light they can obtaln.-St

RICH MILK INSPECTOR
Mrs. Marshall Field VIII Try to Save
Lives of Chicago Babies.

Mrs. Marshall Field VIII Try to Save
Lives of Chicago Babies.
Mrs. Marshall Field Is to lay aside
her social obligations to assume the
duties Of Chicago milk Inspector.
The widow Of Chlcago's merchant
prince, society leader and possessor OF
Millions has caused stir among the
400 by accepting a position on a civic
health commission appointed by Mayor
Busse. All other members Of the board
are men. Her new duties will carry
Mrs Field into the tenement houses
and hospitals Of the city and she will
doubtless become rival for sociology
cal honors Of Miss Jane Addams and
Mrs Potter Palmer.
The appointment Of the commission
Is the result of the milk crusade which
was waged In Chicago during the win
ter. At that time 1t was found that
over half Of the milk consumed In the
city was infected with germs, and that
that was the cause Of scarlet fever
epidemic.
1t Is believed that the commission
