KEEPS CURIOUS BUGS AS PETS
yucatan Insects Are Highly Esteemed
IL the People.

/
h 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 Diaz, who has been on
a trip to Progreso. They are three
bugs OF rere 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 sections, resembling
the bodies of some species Of the bee
tie. and each section is covered with
4 stout shield or plate which Is almost
fat, carving but little at the edges.
When The head Of the bug is placed
under the microscope 1t Looks rather
intelligent and amiabie. The bugs
which We're brought here are in a
highly ornate state. Some cunning
artist of Yucatan has painted shields
In the Mexican national tolors on the
rear plates over their bodies, and
highly colorcd lunches of flowers on
the front plates, and has gilicd 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 bugslip
can be lifted up or led around. One Of
the bugs was presented to President
Diaz, one to a Mexican lady and the
other to an American lady They are
PETS in the literal sense OF the word.
The American lady's bug is receiving
all kinds Of solicitious 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, hav
Ing been raised in the hot country,
and when he Is lifted by his gold chain

1t is probable that time was first di-

rising and setting of the sun marked

ORIGIN OF THE TERM cADDIE.


To some, at least, Of the unnuufbereuJ
and innumerable host Of golfers the
question may have occurred at one
time or another-Whence came the
word "caddie"? Frank Boyd, IN MS
Omitted Chapters in the History OF
Monifeth," which he contributes 10
The Book of Monifieth Golf Links Ba-
zar," offers an ingenious as well as
highly amusing explanation OF the
term. There was. he says, a Culdee'
or "Keledei," establishment at Monl-
feth at one time, till the monks OF AT
breath dispossessed the Culdees OF
| their lands and made them their serv-
! 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
the monks, and henceforth they never
went out without being accompanied
by their Kelsdei. 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,'
1t Is always 'Baigrie.' Thus 1t was
natural that in the course of time the
Il should drop out OF the 'Keledei.' and
1t should como to sound like 'caydee,
and to this day this is how the word Is
pronounced by superans Scotch youths
In the strong Forfarshire vcrnacuial
It was. however, broadened out to cad
