THE STORM AT THE SHORE.
Pretty Description OF Gale on the Mas
sachusetts Coast.

Pretty Description OF Gale on the Mas
sachusetts Coast.
It was a superb storm. It's depreda-
tions and disasters by land and sea are
elsewhere counted in another reckon
ing, but there was a joy in the splen-
dor of the gale, seen from high and
quiet center, beside a gay wood fire,
while the trees dashed like green waves
and the gray waves of ocean were
springing into white trees of spray
against far rocks and headlands, says
the Boston Transcript. The rain
poured, poured, poured all day long;
the surf on the shore doomed in har-
monious thunder, and far at sea there
were white caps bigger than anything
Neptune could ever wear, better to be
called white gowns, tearing to tatters
high above the deep, quiet home
whence no mermaids stirred. The
sweep of the changing wind and the
breaking away of the nearer and the
farther fogs brought in sight no brave
sail. Wise mariners of pleasure had
put into safe harbOrs, and the few sea-
going vessels on duty bound beat their
way reluctantly beyond the horizons
close boundary. A big storm at the
seashore has it's compensations, even
when it drives all but the most adven-
turous souls into rocking-chairs beside
sea-looking windows. There are al
ways the adventurous also in these
thousands of homes beside the sea,
marauders in tall rubber boots and
mackintoshes, who break into natures
outside yet esoteric secrets of the
storm and bring them home untold,
indeed unreliable, after the wrestle
with the winds on the cliff, while the
sweet fresh waters from the heavens
and the high dashing fringes of salt
spray beat upon adventurous peering
faces, and leave to incautiously talk
ing mouths some taste of the bitter
and the sweet.

A Strange Wedding Custom.

During medieval times woman who
had nothing when she was married es-
capped responsibility for her debts
Women were then often married in q
single garment to relieve themselves
of indebtedness. A young and noble
German lady of the sixteenth century,
to make assurance doubly sure, had
the marriage ceremony performed
while she was standing in a closet, en-
tirely Invested of clothing. She put
out her hand through the crack of the
door and was thus married. AS soon
as the ceremony was performed the
groom, clergyman and witnesses Left
the room, she came out. arrayed her
self in clothes provided by her hus-
band and took her place at the mar
rage feast.

TAKE. A BEECH TREE.

It Is Considered the Safest for Shelter In
Thunder Storm.
The danger of taking refuge under
a 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
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
it's 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 a 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.

ORIGIN OF "HURRA."
It rs Said to Be Derived from the German
Intersection "Hurr.''

It 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
DR.. C. A. Busheim. of Kings college,
London, abiding to the statement,
wrote, saying: Il presume your cor
respondent must have some authority
for this assertion, but hope you will
allow, me to point out that, as far as I
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, ito move rapidly or
rather to hurry, has been formed.
Hurra is therefore nothing else but an
enlarged form of hurr, and, as said,
of purely Teutonic origin. In Grimm's
'Worterbuch' we find the interjection
quoted from a 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 interjection 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 'HochT 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, Germaniap written by
the poet laureate of German people,
Ferdinand Frelisgrath."
