They Did Good Work

American women are receiving the
credit for the very successful manage
ment of the bazaar for the Charing
Cross hospital, held in London. The
total profits were s70000,of which sl0,-
900 was taken In at the stall managed
by Mrs. James Brown Potter. 1t is an
open question II any other one bazaar
anywhere ever realized such a sum
Mrs. Arthur Paget was one OF the
principal leaders, and she remarked
that the bazaar was doing much to-
ward an "Anglo-American alliance"
The American stall was attended to
by Mrs. Choate, Mrs. Mackay, Mrs
Bradley Martin. Mrs. Drexel, Mrs. Ro-
maids and Miss Choate, who succeeded
in realizing an exceedingly creditable
sum. The flower booth alone realized
$4,000; one OF tho last buttonhole bou-
quets was sold by Mrs. Paget for s25.

At the stall OF Mrs. Brown-Potter
persons paid exorbtant sums TO

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

To some, at least, of the unnumbered
and innumerable host of golfers the
question may have occurred at one
time or another-Whence came the
word "caddie"? 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, 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 serv
ants. One day 1t 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, lot instance, never says BdlSrdy,
II is always 'Baigrie.' Thus II was
natural that In the course OF time the
Il should drop out OF the 'Keledei,' and
II 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
II 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 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 a play
er's golf clubs has still to be elucidated.

Amongst the many peculiar customs
prevalent among the people OF Central
America Is that of parting for one year
after the marriage ceremony has been
soemnized. This custom has prevailed
among the Jarnos from time immemo-
rial. There is no courtship allowed 10
be carried on between the parties prior
to the wedding When a man selects
a woman he obtains the consent Of the
parents on both sides, and II this Is
given they are at once married. The
reason. however, for their not living
together as man and wife for one year
after marriage is in order to permit OF
the parties visiting and staying with
their respective friends in different
parts Of the country. which is a GUS
tomary thing, and occupies the time
specified. In ninety-nine cases out OF
a hundred these marriages turn out
well.

Age OF Birds.

II is only possible at present to col
lect data from the duration OF lives Of
birds in captivity, evidence otherwise
must be unreliable, and II is purely a
matter OF theory as to whether the I'M
natural possible life Is greater than
that under the unnatural conditions Of
captivity. There are records OF a
nightingale having lived 25 years. a
thrush II. a blackbird that was still
alive at 20ls, goldhnch %. and sky
larks Of "a and 20. Ravens, owls and
cockatoos are popularity supposed to
live to a very great age, and the fol-
lowing record appears to be authentic:
Raven, so: gray parrot, so and 40; blue
macaw, Ga, eagle owls, SO, and one
still alive at 6S. Some aquatic birds
appear TO live to a ripe old age, for
we hear of a heron OF so, goose so,
mute swan 70.

menagerles added TO the din Of the
neighborhood A monkey, dogs cats,

fathers pupils and In whom she took
a great interest She dressed in mems
clothes and wore her hair cropped
closely like a boys. but the girls Of her
drawing class adored Nine. Rosa. and
their sole ambition was to resemble
her. One morning Rosa Bonheur en-
tered the classroom with her firm step
and expansive smile: she stopped short
and raised her hands in horror. What
folly Is this?" she cried Have you all
