HOLLYWOOD Cemetery.

When the sun shall have set on May 81
the remains of Jefferson Davis will have
been lowered To their final resting place in
the beautiful new portion of Hollywood
cemetery at Richmond
The spot selected in Hollywood by Mrs.
Davis for the repose of her husband and
family is one of the most beautiful in this
famous city of the dead where, besides
many distinguished men, lie nearly 1000
Confederate killed. The burial plot occu-
pies level plane upon an abrupt slope, in
full view of the James, which dashes over
Il bed of immense boulders and gives
wild and picturesque setting to the quiet
OF this rather secluded spot. Rising to
greater height behind is well swarled
background. In the center of this sub
plateau Mr.. Davis will be buried. The
grave will be in Il circular plot and will be
bricked mp. His children will be buried
around him.
When the city of Richmond offered to
Mrs. Davis n place of burial for her hus-
band it was understood that it included
the entire family, and her children will be
removed to the spot and reinterred few
days after the ceremonies over their father
There are four children to be removed one
from Washington, two from Memphis and
little Joe, already lying in Hollywood,
whose tragic death by falling from the rear

ORIGIN OF "HURRA."
1t Is Said to Be Derived from the German
Interjection "Hurr.'

1t Is Said to Be Derived from the German
Interjection "Hurr.'
A writer in the London Times
claimed that the exclamation "hurra"
was of Slavonic origin. Subsequently
DIR. c. A. Busheim, of Kings college,
London, abiding to the statement,
wrote, saying: II presume your cor
respondent must have some authority
for this assertion, but L hope you will
allow me to point out that, as far as
know, the word is of purely German
origin. 1t is generally assumed to be
derived from the initiative intersection
hurr, describing rapid movement,
from which word the middle high Ger
man hurren, to move rapidly or
rather to hurry, has been formed.
Hurra is therefore nothing else but an
enlarged form of hurr, and, as I said,
of purely Teutonic origin. In Grimms
'Worterbuch' we find the interjection
quoted from minnesinger. 1t also
occurs in Danish and Swedish, and it
would be interesting to know when it
was first introduced in this country in
the Anglicized form of hurry In Ger
many it was frequently used during
the Napoleonic wars by the Prussian
soldiers, and it also occurs in some
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 intersection did not become
so popular in Germany as cheer at
convivial gathering as in this country
is probably owing to the circumstance
that preference was given here to the
brief exclamation 'Hochr forming re-
spectively the end and the beginning
of the phrases 'Er lebe hoch' and 'Hoch
soil er leben.' Of late the word hurra
seems to have become rather popular
in Germany. 1t is just possible that
the English reimported it there, or that
it was revived through the magnificent
poem of 'Hurra, Germania!' written by
the poet laureate of German people,
Ferdinand Frelisgrath."

TAKE A BEECH TREE.
1t Is Considered the Safest for Shelter |
Thunder Storm

1t Is Considered the Safest for Shelter in
Thunder Storm.
The danger of taking refuge under
tree when caught in a thunderstorm
is one of which we are constantly re-
minded; but, when we have to choose
between getting wet through with it's
attendant discomfort and the (appar-
entity small chance of being struck by
lightning while under the shelter of
the tree, it is only natural that we
should decide in favor of the latter,
says the Paris Figaro.
Under such circumstances it is of ad-
vantage to know which is the best tree
to choose for shelter. A certain Herr
Wockert tells US that we should select
a beech tree, and gives US the follow
ing reason:
1t is always advisable to select those
trees whose leaves are hairy or ciliated
in preference to trees with smooth
leaves. The danger of being struck
by lightning depends not only upon
the height of the tree, but also upon
its power of conductibility, determined
by the amount of sap and its electric
tension.
Most of us know the tendency of
points to attract electricity, the most
notable example of the application of
this principle being the lightning con-
ductor. The hair, or ella, of leaves act
the part of natural lightning con-
ductors, and thus prevent the forma-
ton of very strong electro-motive
force; therefore it stands to reason that
there is less danger in sheltering under
a beech tree than under an oak or trees
of similar kind.
