don't nov for sure what has started this
boom In artificial teeth. Ever since l have
been In this business I rave had occasional
requests from eccentric patrons for q set
Of somebody's teeth. but In the last few
months inquiries have simply poured In
concerning the teeth Of men prominent In
the last century. am inclined TO think
that this craze for teeth has been stimulated
by the report that W~ashington's false teeth

A young German girl visiting relatives
in this country wrote home tina she was
delighted with what she had seen. but the
strangest OF all was that the sun went
down with a bang. She had been visiting
where the sunset gun could be heard by
her every night.
ave have lot Of women visitors at this
time of the year" said the tailor. They
come in for a lesson in folding and packing
away Of mems clothes. They are young
married women mostly. This is the first
time they have gone away for a summer
trip with their husbands. In most cases
the packing of runks devolves upon them.
Naturally. they can manage their own clothe
all right, but hen 1t comes to folding
coats and trousers they are fioored. They
are anxious for their husbands garments

Renting agents have long had TO combat
arguments against noisy blocks. They
now have a new problem on their hands in
the shape of acoustic" blocks. That
means. OF course. that they are noisy
blocks. but noisy without apparent cause.
They are nerve racking." said n dis
tracted agent. simply because Of their
acoustic properties. In this immediate
neighborhood there are three blocks that
beat the best auditorium in town for carry
ing sound. The star of the bunch is in
West Ninety-fourth street. People have
praised Mr.. Hammerstein for the acoustic
achievements in his new opera house. n
have wondered where he got his ideas OF
construction. I know. He studied the
possibilities Of sound in that Ninety-fourth
street block. Judging by the ordinary
conditions OF a city block. that should be
a quiet spot. Few children play there.
pianos do not exceed the usual number.
bawling hucksters do not linger there, yet
all day long and half the night the street
simply thunders with noises. 1t In the
acoustics that are TO blame for all the up
roar. A conversation carried on in an
ordinary tone on one stoop can be plainly
heard across the street; hoofbeats echo
and reecho up and down the block and
the shovelling of coal is accompanied by the
rumble and roar of a small earthquake"
Il wonder il that truck driver knows
OF any good reason for hitching that mule
with the gray horse?" remarked a Georgian
as he saw such a team halted at Chambers
street and Broadway. Let's ask him"
The driver only knew that the team was
driven together by order Of the
stable boss.

mules will follow a gray horse, or
hitch with him, where they won't have

I've seen the most unruly mules behave
properly when in the company Of a gray.
but I've never heard a good reason given
for the fact"
Every time I make a long railroad

the West. 1T il no longer unusual
for the porter TO 60 through his car as soon
az the train is under way and distribute
paper bags to the women passengers

this last trip, as soon as he had passed
out the bags, he came through again. this
