Lot Them Jump.


 The movements and habits of a young baby seem so strange to us be- cause they are so different from those made by adults, and because they are so unconsciously performed. Joy is ex- pressed by muscular movements, by wriggling of the hands and toes, or by convulsive beatings of the arms, when 1t is small; by 'jigging," when it is larger. These movements are expres- slve of joy because to any animal of highly y-developed muscular energy, movement is absolutely essential, and particularly pleasing, while stiffness IS the reverse. It is muscular excitement, chiefly no doubt electrical, a heritage from ancestors who knew not what 1t was to be still, that gives that restless ness to children and causes them to find so much pleasure in mere motion and muscular exertion of any kind.
 Jumping for joy is very literally cor rect of a childs expression of pleasure. The prospect of a sweet will excite se- ries of leaps to indicate delight, and they further serve the purpose of re- leving the tedium of waiting the half second necessary to the donation. The pleasure of finding a birds nest with the egg in it-a pleasure which must have been very real sometimes in the case of hungry monkeys and savage man, but is now only survival of the instinct thus formed-this pleasure boy expressed by a series of convul- sive leaps into the air, and during the performance not only were the arms and legs moved as much as possible, but the muscles of the stomach and vo- cal organs had to be utilized to cause accompanying shouts.
 It may be remarked that in adults, when limb movements are less active, shouts are, on account of the muscular action involved, necessary accom- paniment of joy, noticeable in 'Arry on bank holiday; while in some cases @ex- pletives are symptomatic of joy and not of anger All these outward signs have had their origin in that nerve-ex- citation inducing muscular action which is heritage from ancestors who, impelled by hunger, by love, or by war, led more active lives and thereby ob- tained a desire for motion as a second nature.
 Children and young lambs are very familiar examples; and so strongly will the latter pursue their gambols and racings that a broken heart is some times a cause of death in the middle of sudden gallop. If children have to be still 1t is torture to them-positive tor ture in some cases-and grown-up peo- pie are unaware how much, or they would not thoughtfully inflict it on young children. Muscular ache, the fldgets, growing pain in the limbs, are all the result of enforced inactivity in children. It is similar with athletes; their muscular excitement is so strong that movement is pleasure, stiffness means pain, and they are noted for restlessness.- .-The Nineteenth Century.

drance of his Majesty's service, For that many times they go (though the going was compulsory, by the wayD with great grudging to serve in his Majesty's ships, as if it were to be slaves in the galleys, so much do they stand in fear of penury and hunger; the case being clean contrary in all mer- chant ships" Their due allowance" he says, "was very large and honora- ble in his Majesty's ships, and would be greatly to the encouragement and strengthening of the mariners and sol diers that serve In them if it were faithfully distributed 8 and there fore the purveyors and yictualers are much to be condemned, as not little faulty in that behalf, who make no lit- tie profit of these peelings, which is cause very lamentable, that such as sit in ease at home should raise benefit out of their hunger and thirst that serve their prince and country painful ly abroad whereof there hath long time been great complainings but small reformation"

FLORTDA TERBAPTN.
Pretty Good Diimond BaclSs, Even if They Are Not Up to the Ma and Mark.
 [From the Florida Times-Unlon.1

Pretty Good Di imond BaelSs, Even if They
 Are Not Up tp the Ma and Mark.
 From the Florida Times-Union.1
 George Corbett of St. Augustine is the pioneer of q new Florida industry that of catching dlamond-back terra pin.
 Five years ago few people knew that there was such a thing as @ diamond back terrapin in Florida, and the fish ermen who occasionally took them in their nets threw them overheard under the impression that they were a worth less and annoying species of turtle. They had no idea that they were the same terrapin that brought from $24 to $S6 dozen in the Baltimore market, nor that they were considered the very daintiest delicacy, along with the can vas-back duck, that could grace the festive board of a swell epicure of the old state of Maryland. But they are the same breed of cattle, if the license for such classification may be used.
 MT. Corbett was in the city yesterday, and although he has bought hundreds of tee terrapin, yet up to a few years ago. when he learned how to hunt them, he says he never saw but one in it's na- tive haunts, the salt marshes, and he has probably tramped or sailed over every foot of marsh within ten miles of the Ancient City. The cunning the terrapin possesses is something won- derful. No greenhorn can find dia- mond back in a century unless he has been initiated, and then he needs we'll trained dog with good nose-pointers or setters are the best-to help him. as the only clew to the errapin's place of hiding is spot of freshly stirred-up mud as big as a half dollar. Right there the turtle will be found, nothing visible but the tip of his nose, which is shiny, and of the same color as the mud. The time for hunting the turtle Is during the summer, at ebb tide. All of the salt marshes of Florida are his home.
 MT. Corbett buys hundreds of terra pin during the summer from men and boys, who either hunt the game for living or to make spare change. He pays 25 cents for those under six inches and 50 cents for those over six inches. He stores them in @ pen beneath his wharf, fattens them on shrimp and fiddlers, until the season opens, when he sells them to the hotels at $1 apiece
 Last year the October storm knocked holes in his pen and hundreds of the mail-coated little fellows escaped. This year the storm again wrecked his wharf, and once more the terrapin es- capped Many of them, however, are being sold to him again at the old prices. In fact, he estimates that he has bought the same terrapin over and over at least three times.
 MT. Corbett admits that the Florida 1iamondIbacked terrapin is not so fine. ly favored as his brother of the marsh es of the Chesapeake, but the difference is so slight that the Florida species has and always will rule as an expensive luxury, well worth the price.

Not rruol.llng to santa Claus.

lbTOm the GrOVlu0nco JOuTllhl.l
 This is the season for Santa Claus stories, and here is good one from Newport:
 A lively youngster down In that city has a great desire to become the owner of goat, so one day last week he called up the chimney of his home to appriseSanta Claus of his wish. Hail. ing the old gentleman supposed to in- habit these regions, he told his story in these words:
 Santa Claus. want a goat. Send me a goat for Christmas"
 Now 1t so happened that the youngs- ter's father was in room above, and he heard the boys appeal to Santa Claus and sent back the answer down the chimney:
 "You can't have any goat"
 The little fellow, not at all abashed by this somewhat unexpected result of his appeal, was equal to the situation, and he sent back to the supposed Christmas divinity the defiant reply;
 ''Well, keep your old goat, then. don't want it anyhow"

GAY TIMES AT TIE LAKES.
THRONGS AT LAKES WHITNEY AND
 S.4LTONSIlfLL.

Many Pretty Skaters The Trials and Woes
 of the Inexperienced Polo Activity
 Good Skaters-Glen Grove Park in Win
 ter.
 The crowds at Lakes Whitney and saltonstall were not so great yesterday as on the two previous days. The skat- ing, however, has not deteriorated, but is still good Transportation to Lake Whitney Is so convenient that the crowds there are very large. Lake Sal tonstall, however is pa ronized by many from the eastern part of the city and the annex.
 The skaters at Lake Whitney are watched by numbers from the boat houses and bank. The pretty girl who can skate we'll is the envy of her less ekllIful sister and the admiration of every man. She glides by with the grace of yacht under full sail and in perfect trim. Her every movement is grace itself. In sorrowful contrast is the girl who cannot skate. Let her be ever so graceful and charming in the ball room, the moment she binds on her pretty feet the steel runners and att tempts to strike out" she becomes lu- dicrous in the eyes of even the most devoted admirer. And great Is the task which falls to the lot of the young fel- low who is called to teach her.
 But the awkward skaters were few and far between. A great many of the New Haven girls are good skaters. At least those who go to the lakes are, and that includes many.
 Among those who enjoyed the skating on Lake whitney yesterday were:
 Messrs. John Post, Clarence Thomp- son, Paul Thompson, Burdette Scran- ton, Walter Dudley Fred Russell, Frank Barnes, the Misses Mabel Matthews, Anna Trowbrldge, Lillie Wright, May Sheldon, Martha Fleetwood, Margaret Waddock Minnie Flannigan Mayme Maley, Mamie Kelly, Louise Reilly. Az nes Illusion, Hattie Barnes and several others.
 There were several polo games in progress, but these did not interfere with the skating. Polo games have been condemned as dangerous to the enjoyment of those skaters not partici- pating. But they have one advantage. They keep small boys occupied in hooks and corners, who would otherwise be out among the skaters upsetting peo- pie right and left without caring for the damage.
 At Lake Saltonstan yesterday among the most skillful and finished skaters were ex-Councilman Edward Lawrence, the coal merchant, and MT. Justus Hotchlxiss, who has from his boyhood days been an expert skater
 MT R. A. Beers, one of our best known older business men of State street, had on his skates yesterday at Saltonstall. Having accompanied his boys to the lake and having taken his skates along, he found that he had not forgotten the art of skating well. It was not Host art" to him. Many of the skaters sl1ated far up the lake and took look at the Glen Grove park, the fine old trees of which, even in their winter undress, are a goodly sight.

The People,s kitchen. vienna.

There Is no more interesting place in all Vienna than Peoples Kitchen. The most important Is the one in the Hechtengasse, only a few hundred yards away from the house in which the First association began it's work twenty-two years ago. It is held in a fine handsome building, which was erected in commemoration of the for tieth anniversary of the emperor's ac- cession, the money for it being raised by the late Princess Auersperg. The kitchen itself consists of two very large lofty rooms, one on the right of the han, the other on the left In each of them are a number of long tables covered with American cloth, and hav+ ing benches on either side. The room to the right is the principal dining hall.
 The upper part of the one to the left is cut off from the rest by counter, beyond which the public are not al- lowed to pass Here is the huge fire- place at which the food is cooked and kept hot until the time comes for serv- ing it. A marked feature of the kitch- en is it's scrupulous cleanliness. AL though many hundred persons pass through 1t every day, the air is always fresh and pure, and there is never a sign of dust or untidiness. The white china plates and dishes are spotless the knives and forks are brightly poll ished, while as for the glasses, they lit orally sparkle.
 Attached to the kitchen are fourteen paid servants-a natron, two assistant matrons, cook, an assistant cook, two kitchen-maids, two scullery maids, a washer-up, a general helper, two men walters, and a cashier. They are all hard at work by half-past five in the morning. for by six o'clock they must have breakfast ready for the men who call on their way to the factories. Breakfast is a very simple meal soup, tea and bread being the only things provided. A portion of soup or of tea costs three kreuzers; a white roll, two kreuzers; and a slice of brown bread, one.
 For eight kreuzers, therefore, good breakfast can be had, and, as most of the workmen are content with soup and brown bread, they pay only four kreuzers (four-fifths of a penny) for their meal After eight o'clock no breakfasts are served, for then prepa- rations for dinner begin. The cook and her assistants since six o'clock have been chopping and pairing, and stewing and boiling; for a meal for two thou sand persons or more is not to be pre- pared in hurry. When the cooking is done the dividing out begins. This is the work of the matron, and most tire some work it is; for, as the association makes it point of honor that every portion shall be exactly equal in size and quality, each one of them has to be weighed- Nineteenth Century.

Yictnalinr nn nld Narv.

The unwieldy Armada was beaten with quick-firing small guns, mounted in ships which could be turned with ease. Though the men in them were fortunately sea dogs of the toughest breed, their condition seems to have been an exceptionally hard one as compared with that of other sailors at the time. This arose not by reason of the severity of discipline in the navy, but because they were specially i'll fed.
 In the section of Sir Walter Raleigh's treatise "On Victualing," he complains that it was very scant and dishonora- ble, to the great islander of the navy, to the Encouragement of all them that are pressed there unto, and to the hin-
