OUR INSTINCT TO CHEW.
1t Hanifests Itself In Numerous and
Curious Ways.

1t H~anifests Itself In Numerous and
Curious Ways.
Seeing that the maxillary apparatus
of man has for long ages past been put
to vigorous use, it is not surprising that
the need to exercise 1t should express
itself as q powerful instinct. This In
stinet manifests itself in many and
curious ways. During the early months
of life the natural function of feeding
mt the breast provides the infants
jaws. tongue and lips with all the need
full exercise. This bottle feeding fails
to do, and we frequently find bottle fed
children seeking to satisfy the natural
instinct by sucking their thumbs, fin
gers or any convenient object at hand.
The teeth are a provision for biting
hard foods, but even before they actu-
ally appear we find the child seeking
to exercise his toothless gums on any
hard substance he can lay hold of, and
there can be no doubt that exercise of
this kind tends to facilitate the erup-
ton of the teeth. a truth indeed recog-
niZed universally, whether by the prim-
tive 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 a bejewel-
ed ivory or coral bauble.
When the teeth have erupted, the
masticatory instinct finds among print
tive peoples abundant satisfaction in
the chewing of the coarse. hard foods
which constitute their dietary; but
among us modernS. subsisting. as we
do, mainly on soft foods, affording but

long continues to assert itself. Witness
the tendency of children TO bite their
pencils and penholders. | have known
a child TO gnaw through a bone pen
holder 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 w country not only do chill
dren bite pencils and penholders, but
they will chew small pieces of india
rubber for hours together. The prac-
tice of gum chewing. so common among
our American cousins, evidently comes
down from faroff times. for the priml-
tive Australians chew several kinds of
gum. attributing To them nutrient
qualities. and the PatagOnians are said
to keep heir teeth white and clean by
