ORIGIN Of the Word "Bouus.n

The word bogus is said by DR.. Ogil-
vie to be derived from Boghese, the
name of a notorious American swindler
who about the year 1885 flooded the
western and southwestern states with
counterfeit bills. sham mortgages. etc.
Others connect the word with 'bogy," a
scarecrow or goblin, and so applied to
anything fictitious or chimerical.
Lowell in the "Biglow Papers" says:
Il more than suspect the word to be a
corruption Of the French bogasse."
This bogasse was the sugar cane as
delivered in it's dry, crushed state from
the mill, also called can trash and fit
only for burning. being synonymous
with useless rubbish
Again, according to Brewer, there is
in French argot or thieves slang a
word "bogue.' which signifies the rind
of a green chestnut or the case of a
watch, and this also brings us to the
idea of an outward seeming without
any solid or reputable foundation

Our favorite and much petted pea
cock, says a correspondent of the Lon
don Spectator, can be kept happy any
length Of time looking at his reflection
in the window pane or in looking
glass. He comes in daily to tea, max
ing no mistake about the hour, and
spends much time en- route in gazing at
himself as he appears in the glass Of
the French windows by which he en-
tiers the room. If / am sewing and do
not speak to him when he comes into
the room, he will gently put his head
quite close, almost touching my ring
or needle, for he likes bright things,
till have to give up working and talk
to him as with a small child whom one
Is afraid Of pricking.

Able to Hear II

Joseph Medill of the Chicago Tribune
was somewhat deaf, although his abil-
ity at times to hear what was said in
an ordinary tone of voice was frequent
IL remarked. 1t is related of him that
he dropped into the business depart
ment of the Office one day to make an
inquiry about something that had &C.
Cured to him, and young man who
had been in his employ only a few
months undertook in a loud tone Of
voice to enlighten him.
What did you say?" asked Mr.. Me-
dill, putting his hand to his ear
The young man repeated the ques-
ton in a still louder voice.
Il can't hear you," said the editor.
ooh, chase yourself around the block,
you old granny muttered the impa-
tent employee just above his breath.
II am not an old granny" said Mr..
Medill, turning away, land 1 shall not
chase myself around the block"
The fresh young man made imme-
date arrangements to say goodby to
his job. but the great editor probably
thought that the lesson he had re-
ceived was sufficient and did not dis
turb him.

to break the deadlock there Is no tell
ing when it will be broken.
One feature of the balloting this
morning, was the near approach OF
Arthur to a nomination on the seven
