URIAH KEEPS HAVE NO CUSPIDS.
Beings of the Uriah Heep kind. who
are always so very humble never de-
Velop any cuspid teeth at all. Just as
youth is budding into the character of
man these teeth take their stand with
the rest And who is prepared to deny
that their form, their location, whether
regular or irregular, prominent or other
wise, are not the forerunners of the final
development of the mind, as it estab-
fishes character in the body over which
1t rules supreme?
HAS it not been noticed when a cuspid
tooth outlfves the rest of d set 1t seems
TO take on g. new lease of life and, crump-

You will have noticed that they show a
childIike disposition all their lives and
there is produced a shape to the mouth
that seems to sympathize with the same

There is often type of cuspid aSso-

smooth almost perfectly round in form.
The disposition of those persons who are
characterized by this form Of tooth can
mold themselves into almost any condi-

husbands and brothers have no fear-the

Again there is a very long and decided
Iy pointed cuspid, characteristic of dis
eliminating mind. known to be peculiar,
notional, strong In it's likes and dislikes.
The owner of such a tooth is a natural
student of the laws Of health anatomy,
chemistry and physiology, a person of
great endurance and aptitude in the ac-
QUESTION of an education, with eyes keen
and discriminating. He is a great lover
Of music-in fact, some musicians Of high
degree observed by me have this type Of
cuspid. Their Judgment of color is ex-
cellent and any discord or inharmony af-
fects them very much, even destroying
their appetite. They have a strong
tendency to selfshness, and disposition
to control others Is a characteristic run
ming through their nature. hansen, the
arctic explorer, is representative of the
above and, might add, has this type of
cuspid
Here begins, therefore, a new era in
character study-the reading of a mans
mind by his teeth.
