As *Ba* means not only king, but also God and man. the concentrated meaning of the cry would be, ‘For God, king and country!’ What more loyal, what more patriotic, what more, devout?” What, indeed! But lest we should haply still doubt, to Egymtian roots, is Ba-pa-Ra- «r Ba-pa-Hoo-Ra-ta-y, which means “Son of heaven, king of the two hemispheres,’' and if the authority «f a gentleman <rf this descent is not rood enough for the mere doubter, even STfla-pi eta, may well despair of convincing him. More than this, if Mr. Spratley’s Egyptian name means any- tide is an open question—il also signifies “King of lower Egypt and kwg of upper Egypt,” or “Emperor eftheWorld.” But what we chiefly like M for Is that it seems to settie an cHwy pwM that may well have baffled the philologist—namely, the genesis of the once familiar refrain “Ta-ra-ra boom-de-ay.” Is *• possible that Miss Lottie Collins and the street urchin have been singing ancient Egyptian, aS Mr. Jourdain spoke prose, without knowing it?—London Chronicle XOZIiTS LEKOM ELIXIR.
