From Letter to the London Tines
In to-day's issue of your pspsr your Berlin
correspondent-who, by the by, hsbitually
sends you over such mastery translstions of
German official documents and newspaper
extrac,s-remarks tha. the exclamation
"Hurrahl" sis said to be of Slsvonic ori-
giu." presume your correspondent must
have some authority for this assertion; but
hope you will allow me to point out that. a.
far as know, the word is of purely German
origin. 1t Is generally assumed to be de-
rived from the initiative interiection hurr.
word the middle high German hurren, "to
move rapidly" or rather ''to hurry" has
been formed Hurrah is, therefore, nothing
else but an enlarged form of hurr. and, as
said, of purely Teutonic origin. In Grimm's
"Worterbuch" We find the interiection
quoted from a Minnesipger. It also occurs
in Danish and Swedish; and it would be in
teresting to know when it was first intro
ducsd in this country in the Anglicized form
of Murray. In Germany it was frequently
used during the Napeleonic wars by the
Prussian soldiers, and it slso occurs in soms
political and martial songs of those days.
Since then it seems to have been adopted
also by other nations, even by the French in
the form of hourra. That the interjection
did not become 60 popular in Germany as q
cheer at conviyisl gatherings as in this coun-
try is probably owing 10 the circumstances
that preference was given there to the brief
exclamation 'Hochl" forming respectively
the end and the beginning of the phrases
Ger lebe hoch" and "Hoch soil er leben. "
| Oh late the word hurrah seems to have be-
come rather popular in Germany. It is just
possible that the Esglish reimported it there,

A business Woman.

Elbowing her way through the crowd 10

"Pleased to serve you, madam"
Receiving her room she deposited a sum of
money in the safe, read few letters which
had been awaiting her arrival, sent two or
the best train left for New York. all In short
order.
This woman, whots business like manner
astonished the clerks, was Mrs. f. j. Lakel,
of Castle, Mont, and she has remarkable
history.
She was born in California mining camp,
and was known all over the country as Lit
tie Dot" Before learning to read she could
assort the rock and pick out the good ore.
Her first study was mineralogy, and in fact
she would study nothing else. When q
piece of new ore was found the first thing
the miners did was to get Little Dot's''
| opinion of it's value. When young woman
| she went to Europe for a course of study,
but soon left ths seminary for the practical
| fields of New Castle and other mining
places A few years afterward her father
| lost his mises aud died, and "Little Dot
was left to look out for herself. She moved
to Castle. Mont and has been there evel
since Until a few months ago abe was the
only woman iu the state personally engaged
In mining. She is an owner as well as 9
partner in three or four mines. She knows
her business from the beginning. She doe
her own assayipg and is the superintendent
of the properties in which she has interests
She goes down into the mines and gives al

1t is said that the German doctor Alanus,
notorious for his advocacy of vegetarian diet,
has become pervert aud has returned to a
mixed diet of flesh and vegetable food. He
owns that one fact overturned all his theoret-
ical preaching, that after having been q vege-
tartan for number of years he suddenly
observed that his arteries began to show
signs of degeneration.
The bachelors of Baden have made q novel
protest against piano practice. They have
formed an anti. musical association, binding
themselves under a solemn oath not to marry
any girl who plays the piano. The associa-
ton. which already numbers several hundred
members, will hardly be as effectual as the
law in Carlsrhue, which subjects to fine
anyone who plays the piano before an open
window.
The process known as platrage, which con-
sists of adding sulphate of potassium to q
thin wine in order to give 1t body, was thor
oughly debated by the French Chamber. Two
grammes Of this substance may now, by the
law of France, be added to litre OF wine. It
| was moved to make Il legal to add two and
q half grammes or more to litre, but the
motion was rejected by ITO votes to So.
Germany forbids platrsge, but Italy and
Switzerland permit the same quantity as
France.
France is making rapid progress in the
divorce line. The law providing this remedy
for the unhappily married of France has been
in existence less than fve years, yet France
in that short time has risen to very credit

the earth. From the passage of the Law
until the beginning Of the present year ita
divorces were 15, ,521, of which A, ,607 were
procured in the courts of the city of Paris

in Paris the percentage was one in 100.

GHII.n INSURAN0E.


The people of England are somewhat in
terested in child insurance, select commit
tee of the house of lords having been ap-
pointed to investigate the matter. 1t seems
that there are at the present time 100000
children in Great Britain who have their
lives insured. This business has of recent
years bean confined to few companies who
ing over the country, these latter receiving
for their work 80 per cent. of the premium
paid. The amount of insurance is small,
equal usually in our money to about $12 so,
with which, it Is understood, the funeral ex-
penses are to be paid in the event of the de-
cease of the child. The ordinary premium is
penny a week during the first six months
of the child's life, or, if paid during the fret
elk months in one instalment. %. I'd. The
law as it stands at the present time in Eng
land limits the insurance of a child of
years of age to f6, and of a child between 5
and 10 years of age to f10. though the GUS
tomsry insurance on the penny a week basis
is the equivalent in our money of $12.50.
1t is feared that this small insurance fund

defray the expenses of the funeral, there
would obviously be no object for parents to
make away with their children; but it ID

If the silver bill becomes law the people
of this country will have some more money.
That is, there will be more, but the ipdivid-
ual will probably not need new and larger
pocketbook to hold the extra amount he will
be able to attain. At present the money of
the country amounts to something over $2,.
900, ,000, 900, but more than one.third of it is
in the vaults of the treasury at Washington.
Of the total of two billions, trife more
than half is gold and silver money, and
something less than half is paper. OF the
total coin about two-thirds is gold and one
third silver. Of the paper money, about
onesthird is greenbaeks, one-fourth silver
certificates, one-sixth gold certificates, one-
fifth in notes of the national banks and the
remainder in various other forms. There is
more gold in circulation than any one kind
of paper money, but only one-fourth as
much gold as there is of all kinds of paper
together. Of the paper in circulation the
greenback leads, then silver certificates, ma
tional banknotes next, and gold certificates

OF bluff old Gilman Marston. who died last
week in New Hampshire, these stories are
told: He was badly wounded In the arm at
Bull Rua, but refused to have the member
amputatea, though the surgeons told him his
life depended upon that operation. He in
sisted upon being placed upon his horse, and
was led to the front amid cheers from the
"boys" of his regiment. He once refused to
allow his troops to board an overloaded
transport because he had drought these men
from New Hampshire to fight, not to be
drowned" The orders of tyrannical supe-
rior to build a gusrd-house "without 60
much as crack in 1t" he obsyed literally,
solid logs being 30 used that there was not
even door to enter by. On one occasion
he coolly walked along a parapet under a
terrible fire of shot and shell that he might
inspire wavering brigade of his own reas-
| surance.
A pamphlet about to be published by Sig

from Rome. His departure had been ar

Vatican, who contrived to leave In such a
manner as not to excite suspicion, and then
telegraphed to the Pope from Paris, cit is
necessary to act promptly; all is ready"
The Italian government, on being informed
of this, had the Vatican strictly watched, in
order that It might know Of the Pope's de-
parture as soon as it took place. In conse-
quence of this the clerical journals com.
planned. and the Vatican demanded an
explanation from Signor Crispi, who replied
| that the surveillance had been instituted in
order that the government might be made
aware of the departure of the Pope; for as
the immunity of the guarantee extended to
the Pope's person and not to the Vatican,
the latter would, in case of the Pope's flight,
be Immediately occupied and declared italian
