s'Cad."
From the Chicago News.


Cad" 1t is pointed out by a writer. is a
word furnishing "a pathetic instance of
verbal degeneration" He says: Its grand
father cadet and its father 'caddie' are
still alive in the language. though the re-
lationship is recognized by few. Cadet,
signifying by derivation from the Latin a
little head or little chief, was sufi-
Gently honorable word for the younger son
OF a noble family. and acquired its modern
army sense from the fact that the army
was often the destiny of younger sons.
But II also begat 'cadie. or 'caddie.' a
junior Or subordinate in general. such as q
bricklayer's assistant or the familiar golf
caddie. Then caddie or cad came to
mean an odd job man. and from calling the
men who hung about to pick up jobs by
this name. oxford undergraduates present
ly applied 1t to town in general, as con-
trasting with gown. AS no compliment
was thereby intended. its final degradation
Is obvious.

Expenses of Exposition Judges.

BERLIN, July 1S.-Some irritation finds
expression in the newspapers here because
the MANAGEMENT Of the st. Louis exposition
declines to bear the expenses OF the inter-
national jurymen. 1t was assumed here
upon the basis of the exposition publica-
ttons that the expenses would be borne
and the newspapers now speak of bad fsith
in asking the judges to take long and ex-
pensIve "trip at their own expense to dis
charge purely honorary function. One
the hundred government judges amounts to
at least S62,OOO. Other newspapers suggest
that the above outcome shows the Germans
acted too hestily IN accepting the invita-
ton to exhibit at st. Louis.

Double Eagles.
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
Both Russia and Germany display two
headed eagles on their standards. Yet this
symbol is considered by some heralds to
be merely the result Of the heraldic practice
Of ''dimidiation." This was simply child
way Of impaling two coats-of-arms on the
same shield by the primitive method of
cutting each in half and taking the dexter
half of one and the sinister half of the
other and placing them back to back, as
1t were. Strange two-headed beasts natu-
rally resulted-as. for instance, when a
lion and an eagle were halved and Joined
together. The griffin is supposed to have
been evolved from two lions rampant by
Humiliation. 1t robs the two-headed eagle
of half its terrors to knows that 1T owes
it's origin to this sort Of child's play.
