out letting the little ones know what
they were about. they made memoranda
of every word uttered and thelr actions

the elder child uttered during the day
1896 words and the younger 1920.
The movements OF the children could
not be accurately noted. but Mr.. Bell
says that in following them around he
went through fewer than one-fifth of the
number OF movements of body, legs, arms,
feet and head which the child under OBJ
Eseryaton went through. yet he was
completely tired out at night fall.
After mentioning these experiments he
submits some sensible observations con-

THE CONFEDERATE REUNION

The Confederate veterans will have n
glorious time In New Orleans this week
1t will be n glorious time because 1t was
a glorius cause for which they fought.
Never did men fight MS they fought for
principle pure and simple. There have
been wars OF conquest, wars for spoils,
wars for fame and exploitation. wars Tor
revenge, but southerners fought for prin-
ciple, for the right of self-government
for what they knew to be their rights
under God and under the Constitution.
It Is good and glorious, therefore. for the
survivors to meet together once year
and touch elbows. and exchange friendly
greetings and talk over the glorious
struggle that they made.
There are no regrets, except the regret
that their armies did not triumph. Some
people have been under the impression
that the Confederate survivors were glad,
in the light of latter day developments
that the Confederacy did not triumph.
But Tho Times Dispatch recently smash

the subject we declared our belief that It

way of emphaslzing the fact that the old

fought for cause that was both
righteous and practical, and that dc.
served to succeed.
But these reunions have another signin-
canoe. They aer great social occasions,
when the beauty and chtvalry of the
South, the young women and the young
men OF the present generation. gather
with the fathers and mothers of Con-
federate times and make a great southern
festival of friendship and hospitality. The
southern idea Is thus preserved. and It !.
