If a child teetlw curly, It Is thought In
Engluud to predict mom children "Soon

that country and In tiwndon. If a tooth

contrary an omen of early death, as the
child cannot survive so notout a disaster
An old work, published In 1033, tells us
that to loose a tooth or an oyo Is also to
loso somo friend or kinsman, or Is, at
