Eighteenth Century Caddies.

From the Westminster Gazette.
1t is delightful to the average citizen to
discover that the golf player can display
kindly human sentiment outside the
strict rules of 1.-The royal and ancient.
and it is cheering TO note that that flood
is Just now pouring out toward the cad
die. This constant subject for cynical
speech and cauStic picture is to be suit
ably provided for and Alfred LyttletOn.
that accomplished golfer, pleads almost
with tears in his voice that "caddies are
identified with the one pleasure which
helps elderly gentlemen to feel young.
The hearts even of the well preserved
middle-aged cannot but be touched by
such an appeal: and yet there fingers the
cadde is suffused i'm some strange fash
ion with a shade of ne'eT-dO-well.
The earliest known use of the appella-
ton, and then as ''caddie." is to be found
in the London Morning Penny Post, when
George III was still OH the throne, and
1.-The forty-fve" was in very immediate
popular remembrance. News from Scot
land had il that lone Duncan Grant, a
discharged soldier. who had passed in
Edinburgh sometimes as street caddie.
had incurred a heavy penalty for a
rather trivial swindle in transaction
over herrings. He was to be taken from
stand for the space of an hour, with half
a dozen herrings about his neck. and
thereafter to be banished to the City OF
Liberties forever
Ii was rough sort of making the pun
ishment fit the crime, which some irate
golfers would desire to revive for their
cadd:eS even in this more humane age.

A Reconstructed Cave.

From the Scientific American.
One of the most noteworthy forthcom-
ing exhibits in the mineral hall at the
Museum of Natural History. New York,
will be the representation of a beautltul
cave of stalactites and stalagmites. THIS
will be a reproduction of almost an entire
cavern recently discovered in the Copper
Queen mine. at Bisbee, Ariz. Here,
quarter of a mile below the surface, dur
ing the mining operations of blasting Tor
copper a spacious chamber was uncoV-
cred containing a series OF terrace-nhe
grottoes adorned with wealth OF mag
nificent and many-colored sfalactites ana
sta,agmites Dr. Douglas and the mining
company placed the find at the disposal
of the museum. DIR. Edmund Gus HoVey,
curator of geology and lnNeterate pale
anthology. with three assistants, visited
Bisbee To collect and bring back the
original material. so as to form an exact
reproduction of the Arizona cave. A half
hundred boxes containing the choicest
formations from the wallis floors. CELL
ings etc, We're brought back. They
weighed from one pound to nine hundred.
The delicate task of setting up the pieces
i'm the cave at the museum is being exc
cuted by Mr. William Peters. artist of the
museum staff. who accompanied the e%-
petition to Arizona.
A steel frame twelve feet high by eight
feet wide forms the outside of the cave
which will be covered with limestone
blocks taken from the mountain under
which the cave was found. These won
derful formations OF stalactites and sta
lagmites are made through the evapora-
ton of percolating waters. The most
striking feature of the reconstructed cave
will be a stalagmite three fee: in diam
eter and three and one-half feet high, or
beautiful green color. and weighing
about 800 pounds. This stalagmite Is re-
markable on account of the radiatinS
clusters of pointed ealcite crystals thickly
set all over il. but diminishing in size
from the bottom OF the column upward.

THE UNDERTAKEN OF THE POOR

one cannot go among the poor very

"Harkeen's" House.
From the Strand Magazine.

From the Strand Magazine.
Probably nowhere else is there SO
strange a house" as that lived in by
Joaquin Miller the poet of the Serras."
In fact. in this case house is a collec
tive noun. for the bard sleeps under one
roof. eats and cooks under another and
entertains visitors under still another.
Yet the poet insists that it is all one
house, with merely a pleasant walk in
the sunshine between the rooms. The
poets home is at Dimond, Cal. in the
foothills at the back of Berkeley and
Oakland. He is much visited by lovers
of his poetry and the ''gueStroOm' is
generally crowded. In this room he has
a museum of relics. and lie shows with
grim pride "a piece of one of his own
ears which was frozen off in Alaska.
