Mirrors.

The first record concerning mirrors
dates back to the days Of the venerable
Moses, and they were made of brass.
When the Spaniards landed in South
America they found mirrors of polished
black stone in use among the natives.
In the fifteenth century the first glass
mirrors were made in Germany by a
blowpipe, and were convex. The first
mandatory of glass mirrors for sale
was established in Venice early in the
sixteenth century. In the reign Of
James L. men, women and children
wore looking glasses publicly, the men
as brooches or ornaments in their hats
and the women at their girdles or on
their bosoms.

OUR INSTINCT TO CHEW.
It Nanifests Itself In Numerous and
Curious Ways.


Seeing that the maxillary apparatus
of man has for long ages past been put
to vigorous use, 1t is not surprising that
the need to exercise it should express
itself as a powerful instinct. This in
stinct manifests itself in many and
curious ways. During the early months
Of life the natural junction Of feeding
at the breast provides the infants
Jaws. tongue and lips with all the need
full exercise. 7 mis- bottle feeding fails
to do, and we frequently find bottle fed
children seeking to satisfy the natural
instinct by sucking their thumbs, fiji
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, tho
m~asticatory instinct finds among primi-
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
little exercise for the m~asticatory APP
paratus, it does not find it's proper eX-
preston, and thus tends to die out.
Nevertheless it dies a hard death and
long continues to assert itself. Witness
the tendency of children to bite their
pencils and penholders. l have known
a child to gnaw through a bone pen
hOlder much in the same way as a
carnivorous animal gnaws at u bone.
This instinct to chew for chewing's
sake manifests itself all over the world.
In u own country moi 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
American cousins, evidently ONE
down from faroff times, for the print

gum, a~ttributing to them nutrient
qualities. and the Patagonians are said
to keep their teeth white and clean by
chewing matri. a gum which eXudes
