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-
tons 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
r1ces, the stone age, the bronze age and
the age Of the mound builders. Hero
!otus 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
nifcance as signet rings. A kings
messenger delivering a message and
exhibiting the kings signet as author
ity was obeyed implicitly. The Ro-
mans had marriage ring of iron with
jewel of adamant, signifying eternity
and consistency. 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 pro-
fusion of rings. and the more effemi-
nate had rings for summer and winter.

Curious but dangerous freaks Of ma
ture frequently found In the deserts OF
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 a 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 it to be filtered to unknown
depths, SO that man or horse or a
COW or a sheep that once steps upon
that deceptive crust instantly sinks out
of sight beyond hope of rescue. The
Sumideros are on level with the sur
face of the desert. There is no danger
signal to mark them and their surface
can not be distinguished by the Or
binary eye from the hard clay that
surrounds them. They occur most fire.
quently in the alkali-coyered flats, and
are often fifteen or twenty feet in
diameter. Sometimes they are only
little pockets or wells that man can
leap across, but the longest pole has
never found their bottom. A stone
thrown through the crust sinks to I'M
known depths and no man who ever
fell into one Of them was rescued.
They account for the mysterious dis
appearance of many men and cattle

ORIGIN OF THE TERM cADDlE
Ingenious Explanation of Common Golf

Ingenious Explanntlon of Common Golf
Term by Frank Bovd.
To some. at least, Of the unnumbered
and innumerable host Of golfers the
question may have occurred at one
time or another-Whence o9me the
word ''caddie"7 Frank Boyd. in his
Omitted Chapters in the History Of
Monifieth," which he contributes to
The Book of Monlfieth 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 Mont
fieth at one time. till the monks OF Ar
breath dispossessed the Culdees OF
their lands and made them their serY-
ants. One day It occurred to 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
went out without being accompanied
by their Keledei. Now you know
continues MFR. 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
4 should drop out OF the 'Keledei,' and
1t should come to sound like caydee,
and to this day this is how the word is
pronounced by superfine 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 caddle as one
who earns a livelihood by running err
rands, delivering messages, and so 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 play
er's golf clubs has still to be elucidated.

By the People.

By the People.
From the Mexican Herald: Three
OF the most curious pets that were
ever fed were brought to Mexico City
the other day. They were brought
there by the butler iIi the household
Of President Diaz, who has been on
d trip 10 Progreso. They are three
bugs of rare breed. The only place
in the world in which they are found
is Yucatan. The average specimen Is
about an inch and half long Its
body is In two aections. resembling
the bodies Of some species of the bee
tie, and each section Is covered with
a stout shield or plate Which is almost
fat, curving but little at the edges.
When the head of the bug is placed
under the microscope 1t looks rether
intelligent and amlable. The bugs
which were brought here are in
highly ornate state. Some cunning
artist Of Yueatan has painted shields
in the Mexican national toOrs on the
rear plates over their bodies, and
highly eoiorod punches Of flowers on
the front plates, and has gllded Their
long, doubled-up legs. Little gold
chains are attached to the middle o.
the rear plate. which is the larger OF
each bugs body, by which his bugsiip
can be lifted up or led around. One OF
the bugs was presented to President
Diaz, one to Mexican lady and the
other to an American lady, They are
pets Ia the literal sense of the word
The American ladg's bug Is receiving
all kinds Of solicitious attention and
seems to like It, An effort will be
made to teach him some tricks. His
habits and manners are being cldsely
watched. He loves the sunshine, hav'
ing been raised in the hot country
and when he is lifted By his gold chain
and dropped in the full glare of the
sun, with the cork of beer bottle in
front of him to MUNICH. he seems to be
supremacy happy.

HABIT OF TIPPING SERVANTS.

One Instance illustrating Its Abuses on
the Continent of Europe,
A Chicago woman who recently spent
brief season in Germany speaks in
terms Of condemnation Of the custom,
almost universal there, OF tipping SER
wants. The practice is not confined to
the hotels and inns but guests at the
private houses Of the rich are expected
to cross the palms OF those who attend
to their wants. This woman, in relat-
Ing her experiences, said: when my
visit came to an end / was in such
dilemma as to what was the proper
thing to do in the way Of feeling the
servants that after some elaboration
went to my hostess for relief: You
have such retinue OF servants l said
to her, that | simply cannot fee them
all. want you to tell me which ones
will expect a remembrance and what
amornt 1t ought to be- Whereupon
she I'D me that the question had come
up so often in this very way that she
had at last hit upon plan which her
husband agreed was good one and
which had been in operation for a long
time in their household to the entire
satisfaction of all concerned, including
the servants. She showed ME locked
box in dark nook in the hall, and
into slit in this her guests dropped
whatever amount It was their pleas
IRE to give the servants. Once in six
months the box was opened and the
contents distributed among the stan,
the gifts being proportionate to the
place held-the butler, footmen, room
maids and others who come in direct
contact with the guest receiving the
larger which, can assure you,
was the greatest kind of relief to me.

at work. saw sea gulls lowering over,
and occasionally alighting upon tur-
nip field, in which the observer and
others were at work. A particularly
large and handsome bird attracted his
attention by the graceful way in which
it fioated slowly over the drills, in

ground. Suddenly, steadying itself q
moment, it dropped, dug its bill into
the ground. and roae with mole
for its prey. Resting few minutes, it
gracefully began again further search
for prey. In few minutes second
mole was unearthed.

Closing Social of light Infantry WIN Be a
Double-Barre Affair MusicaIIy.

The closing social of the series given
by the Worcester Light Infantry will
take place in the armory next Tuesday
night. 1t has been enormously stated
that there would be an inspection on
that night, but the company desires to
correct this statement. At the week

lines of preceding affairs of q similar
nature, only making the closing func-
ton most elaborate of the series.
Dancing will be continuous. The
Worcester Light Infantry Orchestra, Is

stationed on the platform, as usual.
In addition to this organization, it was
voted to engage a brass band, which
will be stationed in the gallery and al
ternate with the orchestra. By this
arrangement there will be continuous
music.
A concert and special features, along
the lines Of "trooping the coIors," will
be given previous to the dancing, which
will continue from until 1 o'clock. The
decorations as planned will be unusu-
ally elaborate. Tickets will be dis
posed of at the usual price, and Reb-
boil will cater.
Other business taken up at the meet
ing included the appointment of five
corporals-William L. Barton, Clarence
e. Butler. c. r. Eldridge, Bert w. Kin
caid and Louis M. McCalum. The
committee on preparing a memorial

HAWAIIAN ROMANCE.
New York Officer Lost His
Heart In a Hospital.

West Brookfield, March 21.-Mrs.
Charles Carter of Honolulu is visiting
Mrs. W. P. Garrett. Mrs Carriers hus-
band was one of the Americans killed
in the uprising at Honolulu when an
attempt was made to overthrow the
Hawaiian republic and place Queen
Liliuokalani upon the throne some years
ago. While one of the New York regi-
ments was CHARTERED in Honolulu last
fall, Mrs. Carter met Maj. Charles Ed
mund Davis of Albany, and they are to
be married in New York, April 6. Their
meeting was romantic. While the New
York soldiers were stationed in Homo
lulu, there was considerable sickness
among them, and Maj. Davis was for
a time confined to the HOSPITAL with
others. Mrs. Carter Joined the Red
Cross Society and went among the sick
soldiers as a nurse. There she met Maj
Davis and the latter fell in love with
the fair American. After she had nursed
him back to health again the gallant
major proposed, was accepted and the
romance that began in Honolulu will be
crowned with orange blossoms in New
York next month.
