N.2 VALUE OF FINGERS. What the Various Countries of Eu rope Allow For Their Lous. The different fingers are far fron having the same value in the eyes o the law with reference to their func tional utilization. Much the most im portant is the thumb, for without I prehension would be very imperfect The hand Is no longer pinchers, bu merely a claw, when deprived of th( thumb. It may be estimated that th( thumb represents fully a third of th( total value of the hand. The Frencl courts allow 15 to 35 per cent valui for the right hand and '10 to 15 fo the left. The Austrian schedule give' from 15 per cent for the left to 25 pe cent for the right. In Germnany 24 and 2S per cent andi even its high a: 33.3 per cent has besun awarded. Thi percentage is based on 100 as the tota industrhil value of the hand previou: to the OCCId(ent, a loss of 50 1) er cei rep)resclting haif of the value, etc. The total loss of the index finger causes an incapacity estimnated at 1( to 15 per cent in Austrin, 1( to 20 peI cent in Germnany, 15 per cent for the left and 20 per cent for the right by Italian courts. The French allow 1. per cent. ''hle middle finger is of much more Iilportance than the index, states l;r 1lciguanl, whIom1 we are citing ,aud who Is no smnall autitority, for a great loss of force is observed in tIe hand whell the finger Is aitnlutated. Yet almost all the authorities ascribe less imupor tance td-it than the index. The Italiar law allows 5 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 tarlir assimi lates this finger to the middle one. The Italian law is liberal, with S per cent The French and German tribunals of ten refuse indenlnity, considering the Incapacity resulting from the loss as very slight. The little finger may be compared to the ring, except in the profossions In which it serves as a point of suppprt for the hand. It may be remarked here that the artist has not been taken int< consideration in theso cases.-"Philadol phia tecord. INSECT SUPERSTITIONS.
