How Willie Was Fooled.

A woman in Harlem has a daughter
II years old who is natural flirt and
sometimes shocks her parents sense
Of propriety, says writer in the New
York Tribune. A mischievOus young
man who has a propensity for kissing
calls on her, and the mother thinks 1t
not wise to leave them alone together.
On a recent evening when the two
were In the parlor it became necessary
for the mother to leave the house for
an hour, so she told her son, s years
old, that she would give him nickel
If he would go into the parlor and see
Mr.. Brown and stay there till she re-
turned. When she got back the three
were merrily playing the game OF
blindman's buff. When Mr.. Brown
had gone Willie was rewarded with
the nickel. did you have n good

CURIOUS INSTITUTION IN LIMA.
1t Is Known as the Reiugl0 San Jose.-.Its
Purposes,

There is curious institution in Lima
which you can see from the street cars
on the way to the American Legation.
1t is a gloomy-lookink old building,
with high walls that are painted a
bright blue, and is known as the Ref
ugio de San Jose. Here q married wo-
man may find refuge from cruel and
wicked husband, and here q husband
may place a hayward or an incompat-
ible wife, with the approval OF the
priest for discipline and religious
training to improve her temper and her
morals. Divorce is unknown except on
the rarest occasions, when a dispense
ton must be obtained from the vatican
Mt Rome; but an unfaithful wife can
be sentenced to perpetual imprison-
ment in the Refugio de San Jose by
the archbishop, when the evidence OF
her infidelity is made clear to him. The
husband, however, is required to pay O
certain sum monthly or quarterly to
the sisters in charge of the convent
for her support.
During her Imprisonment woman
Is not allowed to communicate with
people outside or leave her cell without
permission from the mother superior,
and is required to perform religious du-
ties several hours a day. If she shows
signs Of repentance and the husband is
willing to take her back, or her par
ents agree to take charge Of her, she
may be released and return to her
home. with the approval Of the arch
bishop. There are a good many sto-
ries about women who have been i'm
properly imprisoned in this institution
by jealous husbands.
There is no such institution for the
discipline of husbands who are un-
faithful to their wives. That goes
without saying The woman has al
ways been wrong, ever since that affair

Chicago Record.

South Atlantic. But of Cape Hatteras
the vessel ran into a terrible gale and
was foundered, the crew being saved
with the utmost difficulty. With the
Laura Il. Fine, every cent Henderson
had in the world went to ne bottom OF
the ocean, and he was compelled II
start in again at the bottJm OF the lad
der.
1t was not unt.s fast year that Hen
derson found IImsef again in position
to start for the treasure. He went to
New Orleans and bought the stanch lit
tie vessel Erolc, belonging to the
southern Yacht Club. He had her
thoroughly overhaulsd and renamed
her the Rover. Then he returned to
Jackson and persuaded an old friend,
Claude Thompson, upon whom ne
could rely, TO go with him.
On the 22d of February, the 59th an
niyersary Of Captain Henderson
birth, the Rover left New Orleans, and
dropping down the river, turned her
head across the gulf on her long cruise
The voyage was rapid one and with
out accident, and on the 18th OF Aprh
the Tristan d'Acunha group was sight
ed. On the morning Of the l4th the
Rover entered the cove, where por-
ton of the wreck Of the Lark could
still be seen.
Henderson and Thompson roWed
ashore alone and Notwithstanding the
thirty-five years which had interviewed
since he last visited the spot, Hender-
son led the way without hesitation to
the cave where the treasure lay buried.
Half an hour later the chest was I'M
earthed. 1t was not until they were
| back in the calm Of the river that they
broke open the chest. The contents
were found to be intact and uninjured.
Notes and gold together amounted to
S173,320.
The Rover's PROV was turned home
ward without delay and two months
later the adventures landed at Phila-
delphia and $4,000 In cash was
brought home by Henderson, who pro-
posed to spend the remainder OF his
days in peace, enjoying his wealth,
which he had waited so long to get.
II was not until the appearance OF
| Howard Summers a few days ago that
any one questioned Captain Hender-
sons right to the entire fortune. Young
Summers, however, claims that he is
| the son OF Captain William H. Sum-
mers. He alleges that when Captain
Summers sailed away on his last voy-
age he left wife and boy baby at
Baltimore. The wife has since died.
They heard of the bark being caught in
the hurricane Off the South American
coast and as nothing further was ever
heard Of Summers they believed that
the brig had foundered with all on
board. Mrs. Summers knew that her
husband had a large sum OF money
with him, but she supposed that, too,
was at the bottom of the ocean. 1t
was only recently that Summers, Jr.,
learned Of Henderson's return and he
has at once taken steps to establish his
title to one-half Of the money.

TO SPEND ON DRESS.

The society women Of London spend
enormous sums on dress and yet there
are many women moving In fashion
able circles who manage miraculously
on very little to appear we'll gowued. A
fashionable dressmaker OF london says
among her customers are women
whose allowances range from $3.50 to
81 900 q year.
Fads account for much Of the money
spent. This last winter In London
women wore silk equestrian tights a
great deal, claiming their skirts hung
better and were easier to wear over
them. Corgets lined with kid end
channels breeehes for riding and cy-
cling-these are some OF the expensive
novelties that cost. Royalty is not az
extravagant as It's subjects, The trous-

bride spends mere than that. Three OF

KEEPS CURIOUS BUGS AS PETS
yucat&n Insects Are Highly E-tesmsd
by the People.

~ 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 In the household
Of President Diez. who has been on
a trip to Progreso. They are three
bugs Of rare breed. TIE only place
in the world in which they are found
Is Yucata1. The average specimen ia
about an inch and O half long. Its
body Is in two sections, resembling
the bodies of some species OF the bee
tie, and each section Is covered With
O stout shield or plate which il almost
fat, curviEg but little at the edges.
When the head OF ths bug is placed
under the microscope It looks rather
intelligent and amiable. The bugs
which were brought here are In a
highly ornate state. Some cunning
artist Of Yucataa has painted shields
In the Mexican national tolors on the
rear plates over their bodies, and
highly colored punches of flowers on
the front plates, and has gildcd their
long, doubled-up legs. Little gold
chains are ATTACHED to the middle Of
the rear plate, which is the larger Of
each bugs body. by which his bugskip
can be lifted up or led sround. One Of
the bugs was presented to President
Diaz, one to Mexican lady and the
other to an American lady. They are
pets In tie literal sense of the word.
The American lady's bug Is receiving
all kinds OF soiicitious attention and
seems to like 1t. An effort will be
made to teach him some tricks. His
habits and manners are being closely
watched. He loves the Sunshine, hay

A reflection not altogether without
value TO such feminine scribes as have

in a remark made at recent dinner
in London. where two hundred literary
women met one another.
As the extremely well dressed crowd
surged and swayed round the platform
after the recitation which followed the
dinner, q young woman ventured to re

the exceedingly prosperous appearance
of several Of the literary women.

ORIGIN OF THE TERM cADpiE.
Ingenious Explanation of Common Col
Term by Frank Boyd.

Term by FRANK SoYo.
To some, at lsast, Of the unnumbered
and innunerabls host OF golfers the
question may have occurred at one
time or another-Wheace came the
word "caddie"? Frank Boyd, in his
Omitted Chapters in tho History o.
Monifieth," which he contributes to
''The Book Of Moniheth Golf Links Ba-
gar" offers an ingenious as we'll as
highly amusing explanation OF the
term. There was, he says, Culdee,
or "Keledei," establishment at Mont
feth at one time, till the monks Of Ar
breath dispossessed tae Guides OF
their lands and made them their serv-
ants. One day it occurred to monk,
while having O 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 heacsforth 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 q is used. A ma
tive, for instance, never says 'Balgray,
1t is always 'Beigrie.' Thus 1t was
natural tia. In the course Of tina the
y should drop out OF the 'Keledei.' and
1t should come to seund like 'caydee,
and to this day this is how the WORD Is
pronounced by supsrfne Scotch youths.
In the strong Forfarshire vernacular
1t was, however, broadened out 20 cad
die" As matter OF fact, the origin
Of the term 'caddie" does lot appear TO
have ever been satisfactorily explained
Jameson, who defines eadd!e 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 cssEt. which, as he remarks. Is
sometimes used to denote ysuns psr-
son in general. Dr. Murray, Ia as
colossal work, holds the same view,
bat how the wcrd came to te employed
to denote the lad who carries q play
sr's golf clubs has still to be elucidatsd.
