A Metaphor With a History.

To know a hawk from 4 hernsl,aw"
is q metaphor with q curious history.
1t is q comparison drawn from falcon
ry. "Dernshaw" is a corruption Of
''heronshaw,' or young heron, a bird
which MaS q common prey of the fall
cons. To know q hawk from a hern-
shaw is therefore to be able to distin-
guish the falcon from it's prey. A fur
ther colioquial corruption crept into
the phrase, "to know a hawk from d
handsaw,~ a form used by Hamlet in
oae place. Possibly the distinction be-
tween a hawk and q hernshaw was
found not I'd be strong enough for the
purposes of the Observation-Disclosures

SURGEONS CHARGES.
Method by Which. It Is Said, the Fees
Are REGULATED.

Frequently laymen who have had oc-
rasion to settle the bills of surgeons
Upon whom they have called in ex-
tremitieS to use the knife are heard
TO complain against what they call
1.-THE %eXorbitaEt charges of surgeons"
A skilled surgeon may charge $3.50
for a simple appendicitis operation.
The patient. who never thinks of COM
planning until he is convaleScent. OBJ
jects oftentines to paying the bill.
He says, 1T is outrageous for q u r
geon to charge 500 for half an hours
work."
The question of surgeons fees often
puzzles a ~pati.nt. He knows OF one
man upon WI ON Il surgeon Of vide
reputation has operated ana charge
only So. Ee may know Of anotle'
who has paid $1,000 for the same op-
Grafton. He cannot figure it out.
Yet surgeon; Of known ability anu
national, perhaps international, fame
have a general plan in charging TO
operations. Their prices range fron'
nothing to So coo. They will operate
without any question of Willingness o.
ability to pay in any case where tax
situation is imperative. AfterwarC
they will present the bill. The genera
public does act understand how Il sur
geon will char &c one man $50, another
$3.50 and anot her 5000.
Surgeons have q fixed price scheme
They aim to charge the patient abou
one months income. They figure tha
any person who is in such bad cond
ton as to be forced to submit to
surgical operation surely can afford t.
give one months income. They aScer
tain roughly what a man makes pc
month and send in a bill for tina
amount. The man whose income l
but $50 a month pays 500. The ma
who gets $1,000 is asked to pay 5000
and generally objects. even thong
he should know hat his life is wort
as much proportionately as that OF III

the Far East.
Away back. ever when Solomon was
king in Israel, the ships OF Tyre
manned by brave PhOenician sailors,
went through the prehistoric canal
where the Suez channel is now and
navigated from China clear around to
England.
Their ships were the models for
Greece and Rome and later for Venice,
the Spaniards and the Portuguese.
Only the Englishman improved on
shipbuilding. and from him all mod
ern models have dated.
In the old frye models the waist OF
the ship was low, SO the oars could
get good play on the surface of the
ocean, and the sterns were lofty, so as
to give room for slowing cargOes and
to provide dry quarters for the upper
mariners.
AS wind power came into use the
waist grew higher and the poop deck
disappeared. Step by step from galley
to %caravel, from caravei to frigate, the
British shipwrights improved on the
ships of Tyre.
But in the far cas- the models have
remained much the same, and the Shil
makers OF Persia and India have Stucl
TO the old Tyrian models to the pres
ent day.
Today their high square sterns re
call the ships of Columbus. The MAJ
iners still have TO get out Of sight @

with the correction of certain evils,
especially that of Inadequate wages.
He also advocated the establishment OF
juvenile courts in Richmond and else
where. Father Power has made spe-
cial study of these subjects and his adj
dress was one of unusual interest.
After mass the Society Of St Vincent
de Paul OF st. Peters met the officers
of the national body In the basement
of the church. Addresses were made
by Hon. Thomas Mulry the presidents;
Mr.. Il. j. Butler, secretary, and, on the
