A Novelty In Teacups.

A charming little novelty, of which the following is an illustration, is the invalid’s teacup It consists of a teacup and saucer, differing neither in price nor in size from the ordinary breakfast teacup, but so made as to allow of a depression in the saucer,

in which is placed a small cube of prepared fuel, by means of which the liquid contained can be kept hot for some time, until the invalid is ready for it. For night nursing this cup should supply a long-felt want.
