The Origin OF Hsiloo and Hursnh.
All the Year g0and


Among other ordinations in com
mon use, HalioolH and "Harrah =,
have curious origins attributed TO
them. II Is said by the author of
The Queens English" that the peo-
pie OF Charnwood Forest, when they
desire 10 bail q. person at a distsnce,
call out not hslloois bat s.baIioapln
This be imagines is q survival of the
times when one cried TO another "a A
ioup! loup!" or as We would Row
say, Wolf wolff" tHurrah I" again
according 10 NJ. Littre. is derived from
The sIavunic h,sraj, ito Paradise. I"
which signifies that all soldiers who
fell fighting valiantly went straight -
heaven. 'sPrithee' Is obviously cor
ruption OF ~ pray thee" while ''mar-
~" was originally method of swear
ing By the Virgin Mary.
