PAPER TEETH.
An English homoeopathic newspaper opeus a new prospect of boundless wealth to the paper manufacturers and celluloid people. It announces a novelty in the way of " paper teeth." With his collars in his coat-pocket and a fresh set of toeth in his pocket-beok, how lightly may the bagman of the period laugh at railway regulations concerning excessive luggage. The teeth in question, it appears, may be bought "by the quire, as you require them, on trade terms twentysix as twenty-four." Even the bagman who saw no medium between the decent economy of a single shirt and the reckless extravagance of a hundred shirts, need not grudge himself a full masticatory set of thirty-two teeth at these rates. T>.e run is on ivory and cream-laid, few caring for blue wove or black-edged teeth. Of course paper has the advantage of being easily gummed in. They improve the speech ; indeed, a man with a complete top and bottom-plate paper-set will talk like a book. A few have them either with cregt or monogram. - ' New York World.'
