ETYMOLOGY OF "HURRAH."
Mr. spratley Says That We Get 1t From
Ancient Egypt.


Ancient Egypt.
w. j. Spratley, to use his plain Eng
lish name, has favored US with a copy
of letter he has addressed to The In
stitute and Lecturers Gazette on the
etymology of the word "Hrrah! !"
which Mr. Spratley spells "Hoorahp'
We have been vaguely cherishing the
idea that it had a Russian origin, but
Mr.. Spratlcy takes us to ancient Egypt
in his genealogical search. He thinks
"therc can be no doubt that the Egyptian
soldiers went into battle to the inspirit-
ing cheer of HooRa HooRa! HOoRa! "
and if the average questioning man asks
why, he staggcrs him with this: BE
cause HooRa lin the tongue Of the
Thothmes and Ramcses) means The
king, the king, the king! Yea, more. As
'Ra' means not only king, but also God
and man, the concentrated meaning Of
the cry would be, For God, king and
countryr What more loyal what moro
patriotic, what more devout:" What,
indeed!
Dul lCSU We Sltb4Ni Il'tli4g StiAA N'u'l,
Mr.. Spratley clinches the matter by cit
ing. in Confederation, the fact that his
name in Egyptian roots, is Sa-pa-Ra-
ta-y, or Sa-pa-H Ra-ta-y, which
means "Son of heaven, king of the
two hemispheres " and if the authority
of a gentleman of this descent is not
good enough for the mere doubter, even
Mr.. Sa-pa etc, may well despair OF
convincing him. More than this, If Mr..
Spratley's Egyptian name means any
thing-and this is an open Question-it
also signifies king Of lower Egypt and
king of upper Egypt" or Emperor
of the World" But what we chiefly
like it for is that it seems to settle an
other point that may well have batfied
the Enthusiastically, the genesis Of
the once familiar refrain "Ta-ra-ra-
boom-dc-ay" Is it possible that Miss
Lottie Collins and the street urchin
have been singing ancient Egyptian, as
Mr.. Jourdain spoke prose, without
knowing it?-London Chronicle.

AN ELEPHANTS CUNNING.
He Knew How to Turn the Tables Upon
His Tormentor.

This is a good story of an elephants
intelligence. The animal in question
was a mere baby when he was sent by
IN Indian prince to England as pres
ent for Queen Victoria
He was shipped as deck passenger
by one of the Indian mail steamers from
Bombay, and as he had but attained
the height of we'll grown calf and was
always most docile and tractable he was
permitted to have the run Of the decks
for an hour or two every morning when
the state of the weather permitted BY
the sailors he was dubbed the "bos'n's
mate, " owing to the penchant he had
for carefully picking up every loose coil
of rope that he could find and then
throwing it over the side, being, as
Jack said, "as bad as naval lieutenant
for keeping the decks tidy. "
Among other acquaintance that he
formed was that of the ships baker,
whose address he soon discovered to be
the place of origin of all the sweet dain-
ties with which he was petted. Here he
took to making a regular morning call
for something sweet for tiffin and was
generally RECALLED with a stale tart or
piece Of cake, but upon calling one
morning and extending his trunk, as
usual, he found that his visit was I'M
welcome, as something had occurred to
irritate the baker, and instead OF the
cake he received q blow ON his trunk
with the rolling pin.
The blow was not severe, but the
"bos'n" turned tail and went trumpet
ing up the deck, where he took a post
that would enable him to watch for his
assailant Before long he saw the baker
leave his "shop," and mischief being
his object rather than malice he prompt
~ marched down, and with several Wig
orous sweeps of his trunk he swept all
the shelves in the bakery clear, until
loaves, tarts, cakes, patty pans and cake
tins lay in confusion on the deck. This
achieved, he bolted like any schoolboy
and was locked up in disgrace, but up
on the circumstances being known the
popular verdict was III his favor, and he
was allowed his liberty as before
"Bos'n" marched down instanter to
the baker, and never failed from that day
to exact tribute, which was regularly
paid, and from that time he and his OPP
ponent became fast iends-GOlden

Mrs. Lizzie Goodman lately walked
400 miles, from Memphis to st. Louis,
