No Dispute About His Grip, However

Conoerningthe origin of the hedbug there
is much dispute. For a long time it was
declared that the creature was introduced
into Europe in timber brought from Amer
lea, but this ia doubtless untrue. The name
bug is a Celtic word signifying a ghost or
goblin, probably because the animal is bar
ticulatiy the terror Of the night. Hence
tho term ''bugbeai" and bug in this
sense often occurs in Shakespeare. In Mich
olson's journal there is mention of a man
who, ,ar from disliking bsdbues, book
them under his protecting care and would
never safer them to be disturbed, until in
the end they swarmed to an incredible de-
gree, and after his death millions we're
found in bis bed and chamber furniture.
