1t Is sometimes claimed that the sur
geon or the physician is the only man
who is paid for his mistakes. but that
Is clearly untrue. Lawyers receive fees
for the cases that they lose, and other
men are not "docked" whenever they
fall short OF complete success. The
truth Is that the idea Of human com

ORIGIN of "Feather In His Cap"

"a feather In his cap" signifying
honor and distinction. arose from a
custom which was common among the
Syrlans and perpetuated to this day
among the various semiclyllized people
of adding a new feather to the head
gear for every enemy slain. In the
days of chIvalry the embryo knight re-
ceived his cocque in featherless con-
ditlon, and then won his plumes as he
had won his spurs In a manuscript
written by Richard Hansard in 1888
and carefully preserved in the British
museum Is mentioned an ancient Hun
garian custom, that of allowing no
man to wear a feather In his cap who
had not killed Turk. The Hungar-
ians had a law, which was In vogue
as late az 1872. which allowed warriors
to add feather to their headdress col
lection every time the claimant could
prove that he had succored a starving
Hungarian or had killed an ablebodied
Turk or other Moslem." These old Gus.
toms are now obsolete but it Is inter
esting to know that there were once
such laws upon the statute books Of
nations thought to be civilized.
