PRETTY GUM CHEWERS.
Practice Probably Originating Among
~. Il 4

fhE I WI" N(EiG W GthC'
A Practice Probably Originating Among |
the Barbaric Tribes of Africa.
"The origin of chewing gum is un-
known said "a manufacturer who "as |
in Detroit the other day, land it is i'm
possible to definitely decide what pco-
pie to charge with its invention. Deal |
ers who sell it and the manufacturers
who make it profess profound lgnor-
mce OF It's genesis, while sayants
differ as to where the practice
originated. The majority OF persons
who have given the subject investi@a-
tion are disposed to trace the practice
to the barbaric tribes Of Africa, whose
women find the resinous gum which
the tropical sun causes to eNude from
the trees, and chew it, II is probable
that this custom was introduced into
the Southern States by the African
slaves, who found the pine trees Of the
South as prolific in gum as the trees OF
their native forests. The white women
of that section at that time were al
most entirely given to the nauseaiing
habit of dipping .nuil. - t., rubbing
it over their gums with the fraycd ends
Of pine stick. In time they adopted
the more clcanly and healty custom OF
their slaves, and the pine-tree gum be-
came their favorte, largely suppressed
ing the snuh-dip, An observing Yam
kee travelling through the South in
antc-belum DAYS noticed the feminine
gum habit and saw a prospective for
tune in manufacturing an artificial
gum of superior flavor to that gathered
| in the woods. a little rancid tallow,
Il trine of gum arabic mixed together
| and hardened, then cut into small
cubes and wrapped in colored paper,
constituted the chewing gum Of twenty
years ago.
The mixture found ready sale
among Southern women, and in time
a demand grew up for it in the cities
of the North Gum-chewing in few
years spread rapidly among the lasSes
of the East and finally crossed the Al
leghenies and swept over the West like
Widlre.
There is no basis upon which to
estimate the percentage Of American
women who cuew gum, but the num-
Der has been put at from one-half to
two-third, Of the feminine population.
The practice is confined to no particu,
lar class, The lady in her parlor anC
