ETYMOLOGY OF "HURRAH."
MT. sprstiey Says That We Get 1t From
Ancient Egypt.

AnSieus hByRe
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 "Hurrah"
which Mr.. Spratley spells "Hoorah"
We have been vaguely cherishing the
idea that it had a Russian origin, but
Mr.. Spratley takes us to ancient Egypt
in his genealogical search. He thinks
there can be no doubt that the Egyptian
soldiers went into battle to the inspirit-
ing cheer of 'HooRa HooRai HooRa I"
and if the average questioning man asks
why, he staggers him with this: "Be-
! cause HooRa Tin the tongue of the
Thothmes and Rameses) means The
king, the king, the kingp 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
countryp What more loyal, what more
patriotic, what more devout?" What,

But lest we should haply still doubt,

name, in Egyptian roots, is Sa-pa-Ra-
ta-y, or Sa-pa- Hoo-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 liking 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 we'll have baffied
the philologist-namely, the genesis OF
the once familiar refrain "Tara-ra-

Lottie Collins and the street urchin
have been singing ancient Egyptian, as
Mr.. Jourdain spoke prose, without
knowing it?-London Chronicle.

He Could See Through Than.

Carl Hertz, the we'll known conjurer,
once entertained company at friends
house by performing some of his clever
est tricks. One of the parlor maids,
who had been passing cups, cakes,
glasses and SO on, was much interested,
and when the hostess gave sign that
nothing more was needed the girl still
fingered to see the completion of the
trick just begun.

forward and began to breathe hard.
Nov place the written paper, with
the figures on the upper side, under the
shawl as I hold it,. It was done, the
thickness of the shawl being between
Hertz and the paper as he locked down
toward it. There was breathless silence.
Then he said. "Surely the number is
761." 1t was. He had apparently seen
right through the thick shawl. Every
one was amazed.
