That there is nothing in the world go cheap as brains has, of course, become prOverbial. An immense amount of at- tention has been directed of late to class flying the wages paid in the various trades with comparisons to the cost of living. The Government bureaus of sta- tistics and the labor unions have served to make the income of the coal miner or the bricklayer a matter of common property. Considerable mystery still, however, seems to surround the incomes of the leading professions. In every pro- fession few names will at once occur to one which are associated with enorm- ous salaries or fees. The actual stat:j- tics of the average incomes of the lea1- ing professions, as a matter of fact, are full of surprises.
 Public opinion in general is all wrong. or nearly so, in it's ideas of the average incomes of the minister, the lawyer, the teacher and those of similar caliings. Tha average mechanic or skilled work man is in many cases better paid-that is to say, his income is higher than that of a considerable proportion of profess sional men. It Is possible to obtain ac- tual figures which may be accepted IS authoritative.
 It is true beyond question that the great majority of professional men, even aftet years of careful and costly preparation @re wretchedly underpaid. The follow
