THE CHEWING INSTINCT.
Exercise OF the Jaw Il Desire Tha,
IL Powerful In the
Human.

Seeing that the maxillary apparatus
Of man has for long ages past been
put to vigorous use, 1t is not surprls-
Ing that the need to exercise 1t should
express itself as powerful instinct,
says the Lancet. This instinct mani
tests 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 needful 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 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, and
there can be no doubt that exercise OF
this kind tends to facilitate the erup-
ton Of the teeth, a truth. indeed, rec
ognized universally, whether by the
primitiYe 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 q
bejeweled ivory or coral bauble.
When the teeth have erupted, the
masticatory instinct finds. among prtm-
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 blt
little exercise for the masticatory ap-
paratus, It does not find its proper ex-
preston, and thus tends to die out.
Nevertheless, 1t dies hard death, and
long continues to assert itself; wit
ness the tendency of children to bite
their pencils and penholders; I have
known child to gnaw through bono
penholder, much in the same way az
q carnivorous animal gnaws ct q
bone.
This instinct to chew, for chewing'a
sake. manifests itself all over the
world. In our own country not only
do children bite pencils and penhold-
ers, but they Will chew small pieces OF
india rubber for hours together. The
practice Of gum-chewing, 30 common
among our American cousins, evident
~ comes down from far-off times, for
the primitive Australians chew sev-
eral kinds Of gum, 'attributing to them
nutrient qualities. and the Patagonians
are said to keep their teeth white aud
clean by chewing matr. gum which
exudes from the incense bush.

RURAL DELIVERY
HURTS SMALL TOWNS
Country Merchants Send
Protests to POStOffice
Department

Washington, o. c. April 24.-Coun-
try merchants who find their business
steadily decreasing because former
customers are now patronizing the
mail order houses in the cities, are
flooding the postmaster general with
letters protesting against the publi-
cation of names of persons who are
served by rural delivery carriers 1t
is the purpose of the department to
extend the rural delivery routes to
every part of the country The letters
now being received would indicate
that the cross roads stores are being
driven out of business, and that even
the general stores of the smaller towns
are threatened
Some time ago the first assistant
postmaster general issued orders in
structing postmasters througho
country to prepare lists of rural de-
livery routes with the names of the
persons served and post them in con
spicuous places in their Offices. The
object of the order was TO obviste as
far as possible she confusion resulting
from a discrimination of star routes
The country merchants have discover
ed that the big mail order houses of
the cities have had names on these
lists copied and send circulars to all
of them They have everything to sell,
from stick pins to steam engines and
at prices with which small tradesmen
cannot compete.
The postmaster general has address
sed letter to the firm of f. NJ Lake
& Sons, of Higginsville, Mo, making
general answer to these protests,
which applies to every part of the
country. The letter explains the rea-
sons for the order as given above and
adds
Incident to the fact that through
this posting of names, merchants
manufacturers and others may be en-.
able to obtain such lists by copying
them is not, | think. a sufficient rea
son for a refusal on the part of the
department to furnish information
which will tend to reduce the confu
sion and annoyance and trouble Incl
dent to the change OF address Of th'
many millions of patrons of the rura
free delivery service throughout
United States
It is probable that after the rura
delivery routes have been in operation
a sufficient length Of time so that tn,
patrons of the postoffice department
are familiar with the change in ad
dress, it will be unnecessary to cor
tinue such posting; but under presen
conditions, and having in view tn,
greatest good and convenience to tn,
greatest number, we believe the orde
of the first assistant postmaster gener
al to be justifable.
It is argued in behalf of the mai
order business that the competition
introduced by the big mail order con
Germs will result to the ultimate ad
vantage of the rural communities. II
that the general stores will of neces
sity bring more modern methods e.
their business, keep in stock a bette
class of wares and reduce their price
to the minimum in order to secur
the local business. The countr
merchants cannot, however, see it tina
way Even If the protests result f
stopping the order the big mail orde
concerns will already have been plat
ed in possession of almost invaluaoi
lists of names Of good customers,
