THE CHEWING INSTINCT.
Exercise of the Jaw Is n Desire That Is Powerful In the
 Human.

Seeing that the maxillary apparatus of man has for long ages past been put to vigorous use, it is not surpris- ing that the need to exercise it should express itself as a powerful instinct. says the Lancet This instinct mani fests itself in many and curious ways During the early month of life the nat ural function of feeding at the breast provides the Infants jaws, tongue and lips with all the needfu exercise. This bottle feeding fails to do, and We frequently find bottle-fed children seeking to satisfy the natural instinct by sucking their thumb, fingers, or any convenient object at hand
 The teeth are a provision for biting hard foods, but even before they act ually appear we find the child seeking to exercise his toothless gums on any hard substances he can lay hold of, an1 there can be no doubt that exercise ot this kind tends to facilitate the erup- tion of the teeth. truth, indeed, rec ognized universally, whether by the primitive mother. who strings the tooth of some wild animal round the neck of her infant. or the up-to-date parent who provides her child with bejeweled ivory or coral bauble.
 When the teeth have erupted, the masticatory instinct finds among prim- tive peoples abundant satisfaction in the chewing of the coarse, hard foods which constitute their dietary, but nhciC do mainly on soft foods, affording but little exercise for the masticatory ap- paratus, it does not find its proper ex- pression, and thus tends to die out Nevertheless, it dies hard death, and long continues to assert itself; wit ness the tendency of children to bite their pencils and penholders; l have known a child to gnaw through bone penholder much in the same way as a carnivorous animal gnaws at a bone.
 This instinct to chew, for chewing S sake, manifests itself all over the world. In our own country not only do children bite pencils and penhold- CTS. but they will chew small pieces of India rubber for hours together. The practice of gumchewing, 50 common among our American cousins, evident Iy comes down from far-off times, for the primitive Australians chew sey- eral kinds of gum, attributing to them nutrient qualities. and the Patagonians are said to keep their teeth white anu clean by chewing matri, gum which exudes from the incense bush.

Kite That Lifts il Man

Pearson's has description by Mir. S. F. Cody of a recent invention of his own. an enormous kite which has stood sat isfactorily some recent tests by the British admiralty, and has been adopted by it for use in the British navy. This kite is designed largely for the purpose of carrying on observations in any kind of weather, by night or by day, during war. though it can also be utilized in times of peace for many other purposes such as for towing boats up rapid cur rents where sails or steam would be useless, scaling high walls without lad ders. or sending dispatches from one ship to another in rough weather. MT. Cody has an enthusiastic belief in the practicability of his inventor.

For n Had Back,

Sabra Montana, Oct. 19th.-A great many men in this neighborhood used to complain of pains in the back, but now scarcely one can be found who has any such trouble.
 Mr. Gottleb Mill is largely responsible for the improvement. for 1t was he who first of all found the remedy for this Baekaehe. He has recommended 1t to all his friends and neighbors, and in every case 1t has had wonderful success.
 Mir. Mill says:-
 For many years I had been troubled with my Kidneys and pains in the small of my back. tried many medicines but did not derive any benefit until last fall, when l bought dozen boxes of Dodd < Kidney Pills. After using them a few days 1 began to improve. my back quit aching and l felt better and stronger all around.
 eI will keep them in the house right along. for in my opinion they are the best medicine in the market to-day. and if my back should bother me again, l will use nothing else"

Various Improvements Have Been MaGe In Its Shape Since the
 Original.

The ships anchors in general use,
 up to the beginning of the last cen | tury, consisted of a long, round iron shank, having two comparatively short, straight arms or fukes, in-
 clined to the shank at an angle of
 about 40 degrees. and meeting it in | somewhat sharp point at the crown. In large anchors the bulky wooden stock was built up of several pieces, hooped together, the whole tapering | outward to the ends, especially on the
 aft or cable side About the begin hing of the last century, states Science
 Siftings, a clerk in the Plymouth ! naval yard, Pering by name, suggest ed certain Improvements. the most im- portant of which was making the arms curved instead of straight. At first sight this simple change may seem of little value, but consideration will show that this is not the case The holding power of an anchor depends on two principal conditions namely, the extent of useful holding surface and the amount of vertical penetra- tion. The latter quality is necessary OAA ueNNOuIIb OI llC AatulC Ol sea bottoms, the surface layers of which are generally less tenacious and resisting than is the ground a short distance below
 In the year 1881 chain cables began tc sapersede the hempen ones, with the result that the long-shanked an chors hitherto in vogue were no longer necessary, and anchors with shorter shanks and with heavier and stronger crowns gradually came into use. In consequence of these changes, a com mission was appointed in the year 1888 to inquire into the holding power of anchors, and a principal result of it's labors was the adoption of the so- called admiralty pattern anchor, which continued to be used in the navy tip to the year 1860 The invention of the steam hammer in 1S42 made the welding of heavy masses of iron comparatively easy and reliable proc ess, so that from this time onward the strength of anchors fully kept pace with that of the chain cables which had come into general use
 number of patents for anchors were taken out prior to the great ex- hibition of 1851. and public attention having been called to the models there shown. in the following year a com mittee was appointed by the admiralty to report on the qualifications of an- chors of the various kinds. Practical trials were then instituted, and. as result, Trotman's anchor took the highest place, Rodgers anchor being second on the list Some of the tests to which the anchors were submitted were of doubtful value. such, for in- stance. as facility for sweeping" Nowadays. however at all events for deep ships in shallow harbors. it Is considered an advantage for an anchor to offer as little obstruction as possi- ble above the ground

HIS "HONEY" HAD VANISHED.

A young Philadelphian whom We may call Johnson, because that Is not his name, was married several days ago, and 1t occurred to him that he would take his bride into an up- state town on their honeymoon, relates the Philadelphia Ledger He was particularly deslrous ot visiting tnls town, as he told hIs bride, because at the hotel where he intend- ed staying they served such delicious honey at every meal That will be delightful, ' said Mrs. Johnson.
 The couple arrived at the hotel in due course, and they were just in time for tea. Johnson escorted his bride proudly to a table in the dining room and then, after an admiring glance al her. looked quizzicaly round the board. There was no honey on the table and none in the room. Johnson was surprised and called q waiter "See here, said he, where's my honey?' The waiter seemed at a loss as to what to say, but finally leaned forward and in stage whisper said: 'She don't work here no mol"

How Two Improyident Women Got Hold of Little Needed
 Cash.


 What shall We do?,'
 Lucy spoke with bated breath, and both were greatly alarmed.
 They were two sweet, good women Of Chicago's literary guild, relates the Rec ord-Herald and they were on board of train on their way to summer resort, five or six hours ride from the metropo- lis, for few days outing, and their purse, as suggested, was a common one, temporarily
 Why, how on earth did you do that?" Mary whispered through ashen and trembling lips
 T must have left it at home-on the new piano" Lucy replied, with an at tempt at smile for the ancient joke.
 Well. all that's left for us to do is to go back home. We have our return tick cts, thank goodness."
 T am as hungry as bear that has been hibernating.
 Did you ever observe that the first inn pulse of a woman when something seems impossible, is to wish for that particular thing? And it is generally something to eat
 Look at my hand. Lucy. Possibly that will tell how we are going to get out of this"
 Lucy was palm reader. and nearly all women believe in fortune telling in any guise.
 "Oh! you know that won't do." Lucy exclaimed. She alone of all the women she knew, really doubted her infallibility in that line and under ordinary circum- stances she would not have confessed it.
 Oh! go on-just may be you can tell, Mary insisted.
 Lucy took the dainty hand and in scru- tinizinS the lines instantly forgot the lost purse. She saw something new in the ehiromatic signs that she had not ob served in previous explorations along the lines of Mary's palm
 There were other ladies and a number of gentlemen in the car, nearly all of whom quickly became interested in the palm reading One little mite of wom- an with big blue eyes Yentured timidly to ask if the lady made a charge for the readings Instantly bright and saving thought flashed to Mary. As drowning persons catch at straws she caught it and whispered to Lucy:
 Yes. Half dollar"
 Tt is my profession" Lucy replied to the mite
 Here's 50 cents. Please read mine said the mite, extending wee little hand. The news that lady professional palm ist was on board the train flew through the coaches in that occult way by which information is sometimes conveyed and nearly every woman in that car and oth- CT cars. as well as some of the gentlemen, came to Lucy and submitted their palms, as well as their alfdollars-which lat ter were more to the point-and before the train had reached the station where Lucy and Mary were to alight they had money galore.
 At the station mentioned the twain left the train with demure and cunning smiles for each other, but with vague regret that they had relinquished good thing

living on East Main Street in that city, says:
 With my nightly rest broken, oT- ing to irregularities of the kidneys. suffering intensely from severe pains in the small of my back and through the kidneys, and annoyed by painful passages of abnormal secretions, life was anything but pleasant for me. No amount of doctoring relieved this condition, and for the reason that nothing seemed to give me even tenn porary relief, I became about dis couraged. One day l noticed in the newspapers the case of a man who was afflicted as 1 was and was cured by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. His words of praise for this remedy were so sincere that on the strength of his statement l went to the Hugh Murrey Drug Co.'S store and got box I found that the medicine was exactly as powerful kidney remedy as represented. I experienced quick and lasting relief. Doan's Kidney pills will prove a blessing to all suf- ferers from kidney disorders who will give them a fair trial"
