The Study of Language Making Is Very Interesting. THE HISTORY OF WORDS. Tm- lfnitul States isheld responsible for the word'bogus,' which is said to be " corruption of the. foreign name Borg- hesv, About the year 1837 an indivi. dual of this name tlooded the west and southwest with counterfeit bills on tic. titious banks. The name of Borghese was soon out down by his victims to the shortr-r une of bogus. Very soon nut only ilorghetse bills, but all cthers of like character,were ctslled'bogus cur rency.’ In the time of King, James I. the word'bombast’ meant a sort of pad- ding of cotton and silk, that was used to stutroutthrr enormously large breech- M that were made in fashion. Hence bouilmst in our time went anything written or spoken in a high sounding inflated style. It seems that there ia a fashion in diseases as well as in clothes and furniture. In 1850 bronchitis came to the front as the sxttlietion a. la mode, just as appendicitis has in the last two or three years. In December, 1851. John Leech published usketch entitled 'Scenes from the last new fashionable disease, 'bronchitis' , A wonn ON A WAGER. The word'qaiz' originated in a wager made by a Dublin {theatrical manager that a. word unknown and conveying no meaning should be on overybodyU ton- gue inside of twenty tour hours, He immediately caused 'quiz' to be posted or chalked on at! the walls of Dublin. He won the wager. 'Mind your Ps and QU' is thought by some authorities to have come from the old custom-of chalking up behind the doors and nlehouses the amounts due from customers, piuté and quarts being represented by the letters P. and Q. Other authorities think that the term originated in a printing office from the similarity of the p’a and is in umall Roman type, so the apprentice printer had frequently to be told to mind his p's and ia. . n " , l t The game of ten pins was originally nine pins.

The beginning of the use of the terms high church' and ‘low tgt,' that we hear so frequently in t ese days dates back to Cromwell'a time. The people of the fanny part of Cambridgeshire were nearly all dissenters.

The name of Etienne de Silhouette, French Minister of Finance in 1759, has come down to us in the cheap pro- tile portraits 'produced by projecting by the light of a candle the' shadow of a itce which was traced while the eit- ter was in position.' These portraits were very cheap, and the French gave them the name of 'Silhouette' in allu- sion to the extreme parsimony of the Minister. In fact in the days of Etien- ne de Silhouette any cheap fashion was dubbed ‘a. silhouette.’ 'A nation of 'hopireepers' is generally supposed to have been 1itspolerm's sneer At the English It has been proved that Barere was the first one to use it when he said: 'Let Pitt then boast of " victpry to his nation of shopkeeper'.' .
