Shortage Of Steseersphers.

A serious famine of stenogrdph-
ers, which steadily grows accute
now aff1icts the Federal Service
not only in Washington, but
throughout the country. So great
ly does the urgent and increasing
demand for shorthand writer's from
every branch of ths Government
Service exceed the meager supply
furnished through the Civil Service
Commission channels that heads of
bureaus and chief clerks are induo-
ing their Younger clerks to attend
night schools for the purpose OF
taking shorthand lessons so that
they may be able to ease the stu
alton in the departments and Incl
IDENTIFY earn some extra mon sy.
While their duties are subordi-
nate said an official of the Inter-

Gently, "stenographers are of all
our employees the most essential
to the expeditions tranaction of
business. The present dearth of
them, with the inability of the Civil
Service Commission to supply
more. seriously interferes with our
work, But | understand the same
trouble exists in even greater de-
gree in all other dep9 rtments."
Last week the number of calls
for stenographers exceeded the
number we we're able to supply by
1O1," said an official of the Civil
Service Commission. And the
worst of it is, he continued, that
while the demard is steadily in
creasng. the supply seems to be
lessening. While the requirements

take out policy on his house. After
listening to him for an hour while he
painted in vivid colors the extreme
danger of fire consuming the house the

"Do you really think it likely that
my house will burn down within the

hour a traveller in it, starting west

miles an hour, would arrest the prog

night at 10 o'clock westward at a

would soon experience the sensation

A Metaphor With 4 History.

To sknow a hawk from hernshaw''
is metaphor with curious history.
1t is a comparison drawn from fall
conry. ssHernshaw'' is corruption
of "heronshaw," or young heron, a bird
which was common prey of the fall
cons. To know a hawk from a bern
shaw is therefore to be able to dis
tinguish the falcon from its prey. A
further colIoquial corruption crept into
the phrase ito know a hawk from a
handsaw," form used by Hamlet in
one place. Possibly the distinction be-
tween hawk and hernshaw was
found not to be strong enough for the
purposes of the proyerb.- Manchester
