ORIGIN OF THE TERM CADDiE.
Ingenious Explanation of Common Golf
Term by Frank Boyd.

To some, at least, Of the unnum bered
and innumerable host of golfers the
question may have occurred at one
time or another-Whence came ths
word "ead6ie"? Frank Boyd, in his
Omitted Chapters in the History OF
Monifeth," which he contributes to
"The Book of Monlfeth Golf Links Ba-
Ear" offers an ingenious as well as
highly amusing explanation OF the
term. There was, he says, a Culdee,
or "Keledei," establishment at Moni-
fieth at one time, till the monks of Ar
breath dispossessed the Culdees OF
their lands and made them their serv-
ants. One day it occurred to a monk,
while having a game OF golf, to make
the Keledei carry his clubs. He found
this contributed greatly to his comfort.
THE plan was adopted by the rest OF
the monks, and henceforth they never
went out without being accompanied
by their Keledei Now you know"
continues Mr.. Boyd, that in these
parts the practice is to cut short words
in which the letter Il is used A ma
tive, for instance, never says 'Balgray,'
it is always Baigrie.' Thus it was
natural that in the course of time the
Il should drop out of the 'Keledei,' and
it should come to sound like 'caydee,'
and to this day this is how the word is
pronounced by superfne Scotch youths.
In the strong Forfarshire vernacular
it was, however, broadened out to cad
die. AS a matter of fact, the origin
of the term "caddie" does not appear to
have ever been satisfactorily explained
Jameson, who defines caddie as one
who earns livelihood by running err
rands. delivering messages, and 50 on,
expresses the opinion that the term
was originally the same with the
French cadet, which, as he remarks, is
sometimes used to denote young per-
son in general. DR. Murray, in his
colossal work, holds the same view,
but how the word came to be employed
to denote the lad who carries a play
er's golf clubs has still to be elucidated.

seems to have become fixea in the minds Of
strangers, crowding out all know edge Of
her wonderfully fertile soil Little thought
is ever given to the Il, 00o miles Of irriga-
CATION canals that have been constructor,
and the 1000, 600 acres Of land which have
thus far been made productive. Yet, out
out Of 81 exhibits from Colorado at the
worlds fair. eighty-one special premiums
were awarded, covering all kinds Of fruit
and produce. The wheat exhibit attracted
wide attention, and twenty-five awards
we're given it alone, the largest number
received by any one state in the Union.
The fruit industry has reached 100000
year and Is yet In its infancy. Sugar beet
culture is profitable industry. The min
oral wealth Of the state, which leads all
other states in the Union in the output OF
gold and silver, does not compare with her
agricultural wealth. A handsome aud pro-
tusely illustrated pamphlet, entitled THE

issued by the passenger department of the

RINGS ARE ALWAYS THE SAME.
Women Wear the Same Ornaments
They Did in Biblical Days.

Although many jewellers advertise
something new in rings the fact re-
mains that they are but slight varia-
tions of the styles in vogue at the time
Moses piloted the children of Israel out
OF the bondage of Egypt. Rings are
alluded to in the Bible, in the books of
Genesis and Exodus. They have been
found among the relics Of prehistoric
races, the stone age, the bronze age and
The age Of the mound builders. Hero
dotus mentions that the Babylonians
wore them, and from Asia they prob
ably were introduced into Greece. The
rings worn in early times were not
purely ornamental, but had their sig
nificance as signet rings. A kings
messenger delivering a message and
exhibiting the kings signet as author
ity was obeyed implicitly. The Ro-
mans had a marriage ring of iron with
jewel Of adamant signifying eternity
and constancy. History mentions a
magic ring possessed by King solomon
of which the Jews and Mohammedans
have abundant traditions. 1t was by
means Of this ring as a talisman OF
wisdom and power that solomon was
enabled to perform those wonderful
acts and accomplish those vast enter
prises that have made his name so cele-
brated as the wisest monarch of the
earth. The later Romans wore a pro-
fusion Of rinss, and the more effemi-
nate had rings for summer and winter

of the law which provides for this pen

Whereas, it is equitable that deserv-

at is constant case of surprise to
me-" said j. d. Wade, chief of the
state bureau of industrial statistics, to
Baltimore American reporter, that
residents of the tide-water counties
have not gone more extensively into
the industry of raising ducks for mar
ket. ! am convinced that no better
facilities are offered in the world for
raising ducks on an extensive scale
than are offered by the innumerable
tnlets of the Chesapeake bay and its
tributaries. 1t is an important and
profitable industry along the shores at
the inlets of Long Island sound, where
millions of ducks are grown annually
for the New York markets, and several
comfortable fortunes have been made.
The owners of the Long Island duck
farms say that their Hocks are healthy
and explain the immunity Of their
focks from disease every season to the
fact that the fowl have such an
abundance of pure, fresh water in
which to battle and swim. 1t is said
that the birds that have access to an
abundance of water are better enabled
to keep their Threats, nostrils and bills
open and clean-somethiug very neces-
sary for their health 1t is estimated
that in the forty or more duck farms
in this section Of Suffolk county there
are raised annually between 100000
and 100000 ducks, nearly all of which
are shipped to New York market. The

Curious but dangerous freaks of ma

Arizona are called Sumideros by the
Mexicans and Indians. They are
masked pitfalls Of quicksand that oc-
cur in the dry plains and are covered
with treacherous crust of clay that
has been spread over them in fine par
ticles by the wind and baked dry by
the sun. The peculiar properties of the
soil retain all the moisture drained into
them after the infrequent rains, and
allow 1t to be filtered to unknown
depths, so that man or a horse or a
COW or a sheep that once steps upon
that deceptive crust instantly sinks out
of sight beyond hope of rescue. The
Sumfderos are on a level with the sur

signal to mark them and their surface
