Mustafa’s Ahmed slipped away upon his duty. Presently I heard his guttural cawing to get the camel again to rest, but the peast would not down and must be beaten, the boy meanwhile mouthing great curses. 1 wondered that a being so small should without peril to him- If strike a creature like this with his st, continuing all the time within reach of teeth and hoofs. “I will tell the khawaja,” replied Mustafa, “a_most curious and interest- ing thing about this.” Ahmed had mastered the camel and now came to his place. “The khawaja has observed,” Musta- fa continued, “that a child may beat 'and command a camel. It is not be- cause the camel s stupld nor yet be- ‘cause he s timid; it is because of a wise provision whereby God suited him to the weakness of men. The camel's eyes are like magnifying glasses and increase the stature of his ‘master seven times, wherefore he is obedient to the gigantie appearing creature.” In Damascus, too, I heard this super- stition.—Norman Duncan in Harper's ‘Magazine. Origin of th- Word "Bugus. The word “bogus” is sald by Dr. Ogil- vie to be derived from Boghese, the name of a notorious Amerlecan swindler who about the year 1835 flooded the western and southwestern states with counterfeit bills, sham mortgages, etc. Others connect the word with “bogy,” a searecrow or goblin, and so applied to anything fictitious or chimerical, Lowell in the “Biglow Papers” says: “I more than suspect the word to be a corruption of the French bogasse.” This bogasse was the sugar cane as delivered in its 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.— Kansas City Journal. 2 In the 8ame Boat. The stranger advanced toward the door. Mrs. 0’Toole stood in the door- way with a rough stick In her left band and a frown on her brow. “Good morning,” said the stranger politely. “I'm looking for Mr. 0'Toole.” “So'm 1,” sald Mrs. O'Toole, shifting her club over to her other hand. —Ev erybody’s.
