Queer Things in the Ieul Letter Ofllre. I A bootblack's outfit, a wood saw, a ' hat box, a gold headed cane, snuff boxes, gold, silver and bronze medals, coins of all kinds, countries and ages are among the curiosities collected. The metal ba-i sis for a set of false teeth is in one of the cases. It was unclaimed, and came to the dead letter office several years ago. A short time since an old gentleman gentle-man who visited the musrium recognized recog-nized the remains of his former set of false teeth. He bad sent them to a dentist, den-tist, he said, for repairs, but lost sight of them entirely. As ho had bought a new pair he said he had no use for the old ones, so they remain in the dead letter let-ter office. Washington Cor. ,St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
