RESTLESS CHILDREN,
The Fact Explained From n Scientific
Standpoint.

S(0nGpO1nf.
From the Nineteenth Century.
The movements and habits of a young
baby seem so strange to us because they
are so different from those made by adults
and because they are SO unconsciously per-
formed. Joy is expressed by muscular
movements, by wriggling of the hands and
toes, or by convulsive beatings of the arms
when it is small; by "jigging," when it is
larger. These movements are expressive of
joy because to any animal of highly -devel-
oped muscular energy, movement is abso-
lutely essential, and particularly pleasing
while stiffness is the reverse. 1t is muscu-
lar excitement chiefly no doubt electrical
a heritage from ancestors who knew not
what it was to be still, that gives that rest
lessness to children and causes them to find
so much pleasure in mere motion and mus
cular eXertion of any kind.
Jumping for joy is very literally correct
of ChildS expression of pleasure. The
prospect of sweet will excite a series of
leaps to indicate delight, and they further
serve the purpose of relieving the tedium of
waiting the half second necessary to the
donation. The pleasure OF finding a bird S
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 a boy expressed
by series of ccnvulSve leaps into the air,
and during the performance not only were
the arms and legs moved as much as pos
sible, but the muscles of the stomach and
vocal organs had to be utilized to cause &C
companying shouts.
1t may be remarked that in adults, when
limb movements are less active, shouts are,

able in AIRY on a bank holiday; while in
some cases explosives are symptomatic of
joy and not of anger. All these outward
sings have had their origin in that nerve
excitation inducing muscular action which
is a heritage from ancestors who, impelled
by hunger, by love, or by war, led more
active lives and thereby obtained desire
for motion as a second nature.

bad paper and with bad ink. They are
small in size and slovenly in appearance.
1t is habit with the evening papers to
pad their first page with great headlines

occupy a fun half of the page. Sometimes
the letters are two inches tall.

The provincial news of third-class even
ing dailies, e. g., the Cocarde, is brief.
OF what, then, is the Cocarde made up?
1t Is a 1-cent evening paper, edited by
no less a parsonage than Maurice Barres,
young man of great intellect, who is
trying to introduce ideas into the Paris
press. Alphonso Daudet has recently said
that the future of French literature rests
with young Maurice Barres and a few men
of his stamp. The paper is full of essays
on burning topics-Capt. Dreyfus, patriot
ism, socialism, character in art" parla
mentary impressions, photography and
good comic poem against all deputies in
general and especially against all persons
decorated with the Legion of Honor.
There are thrd-class evening papers
which have no foreign dispatches. All is
taken up in literature, local horrors, ''reve-
latons" and the personal opinions of edi
tiers every subject under the sun. Take
the Patrie, for instance. 1t is a 1-cent
paper, ultra-patriotic in the Boulangist

HA WAIIAN ANNEXATION

The recent rebellion at Honolulu has
resroused the sentiment for annexation
of the Hawaiian republic to this couu-
try. The display of strength by the
government has made a favorable i'm
preston. The idea existed for long
time that the Hawsiisn patriots were
able to overthrow the monarchy only
through the aid of the United States
warship then in the harbor of Honolulu
and that the provisional government
would be overthrown AZ soon as the APP
pearance of outside help was removed.
There has been thorough test of the
ability of the American element in the
islands to main tain republic, and now
the impression must generally prevail
that the question has been put beyond
doubt. Whatever may have been thought

people possessed hardly an element
in accord with our own civil
lization and institutions. Great
Britain in her policies has always
voiced the AnglosSaxon sentiment
by throwing her projecting shield over
those countries to which her people
have emigrated, and where they had
acquired control or recognizable power

that "bood is thicker than water"
A feeling of opposition to Hawaiian
annexation has existed on the ground
that our national government would
have great trouble in keeping the local
peace, and in guaranteeing to that peo-
pie republican form of government.
This apprehension mHat be largely re-
moved by recent events. What has oc-
Cured has produced confidence that the
Hawaiian people will be able to main.
tain creditable local government with

of the Island are ample for the main-
tenance of local government without

"blood will tell" and though the Amer
icanH are far from being in numerical
majority they doubtless will be able to
control, not as a political obligarchy,
but through their superior intelligence,
energy and courage. The case stands
quite different from what it did a twelve
