THE OPEN MOUTH.
Said to Be a Survival of BabyhOod
Tendencies.

Said to Be a Survival of BabyhOOd
Tendencies.
Hiram NJ. Stanley advances new
explanation of the tendency to open the
mouth in surprise and establishment.
Darwin ascribed this tendency to the
intuitive desire for quietness and ef-
fectiveness of breathing and to mere
relaxation of the muscles Mr.. Stanley
finds a deeper organic reason-namely,
that the open mouth Is the attention
sign. and Is a primitive and constant
reaction with the young of many ami
mails for the reception of food-for ex-
ample, with birds.
Any sound or other stimulus immedi-
ately causes the young bird to extend
it's mouth. With young infants the
same influence has often the same eff
feet. The mouth of the infant under
such stimulation usually assumes the
sucking form, and it's smile when the
finger is pointed at it may be either
nasrent or degraded sucking.
Mr.. Stanley maintains that the COM
mon and highly useful tendency of the
very young to open the mouth to all
stimuli, visual, aural, ETC., continues as
a survival in after life, being especially
brought out with stimuli of high inten-
sity and unusual quality and thus be-
comes a mark Of surprise and astonish-
ment. 1t is a habit very common
among boys and girls to open the
mouth under any attention. The rise
of smiling and laughter as connect
ed with wit and humor-at the basis of
which lies surprise-thus declares it.
self as kind IF attention expression.
Assuming that the primary expires
sion of the mouth is feeding express
sion and that this probably has been
modified and evolved in connection
with variety of attention phenomena,
Mr.. Stanley suggests that it would be
worth while to make detailed study
of expression in infants and young anil
mails with this point in view.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

SOCIETY KLEPTOMANlACS,
They PurlOin Articles of Virtu From
the Homes Of Officials

the Homes Of Metals,
One of the leading jewellers of the
capital was somewhat taken aback one
day. says n Washington paper, by re-
ceivng from the wife of high official
an order for half a dozen gold nails
with jewel in the head of each and q
dozen small gold chalns. He inquired
the uses to which the nails We're to be
put, when his patron said:
You see, l have a number of very
valuable objects of art, which, al
though they are very expensive, are
very small and easily handled. AS the
wife of an official of the government
l am obliged to open my house during
the season to the constituents Of my
husband and the Washington curiosity
seeking public in general. On my re-
ception day, therefore, my house is
crowded with all sorts of people, and
last winter suffered the loss Of sew
eral OF my most valuable treasures.
II have long been trying to devise
some plan by which l can keep my
objects Of art outside Of my cabinets
and yet not have them stolen, for that
Is the only word l can use in regard
to the loss of my treasures. l have
concluded that must either nail down
some of the bric-a-brac or chain it Sc
curcly to the table, and hence am 60
ing to try this remedy. That is why
[ want these nails and chains"
This woman's predicament is not an

cles. The kleptomaniacs who commit
the most aggravated depredations are
for the most part we'll known leaders
in society
One winter social circles in Wash
lngton were greatly bewildered and
shocked by the doings Of one of the
best known women in official circles.
A number of hostesses began to miss
valuable dolies from their dinner ia
bles after they had given luncheons or
dinners. and finally several of them got
together andcompared notes, and sus-
picion fell upon one Of the women
who had been the guest at luncheons
given by those gathered at the confer
ence.
Finally the wife of a prominent dip
lomat determined to stop the raid upon
the doilies, and at the next luncheon
she seated the suspected kleptomaniac
next to her. When the doilies were
brought on. she watched her guest and
discovered that the latter laid her dolly
on the table and, carelessly dropping
her handkerchief over it, picked up
both.
The hostess, in most charming
manner. turned to her guest and said:
pardon me, my dear Mrs. --, but
am afraid you have my most ex-
quisite dolly in your handkerchief. 1t
is so ia. am afraid it will be crush
ed and therefore call your attention
to your inadvertence in taking it up
with your handkerchief"
The guest was not in the least abash-
ed and with laugh she shook out her
handkerchief, and the dolly fell back
on the table, whereupon she exclaimed:
"Why. dear me, so have! How very
careless of met!
There were significant glances all
around the table, but no more doilies
were lost during that season.
