Hereditary Needles.

Needles have never been supposed 20
be hereditary, but a recent ease re
ported by a physician of emiDeDce
offers undoubted evidence to the con.
trary. A lady accidentally ran a needle
into her foot thirty years ago, and It
lay apparently dormant in her system
for so many years that it's existence
was almost forgotten.
In 1873 she was married, and b year
after the birth of her infant daughter
the needle made it's appearance In the
infants shoulder. There could be no
doubt that 1t was the original needle
by which the mother had been attacked,
in 1860, for 1t was Of a peculiar and
now obsolete pattern, and the mother
distinctly remembered that needles er
that pattern were in use at the time OF
her attack.
There a be no doubt that the infant
inherited the needle from her mother.
and that henceforth physicians VIII
expect to find a natural tendency to
needles in the tissues.
AS 1t is asserted that people have died
from needles, although there are very
few such cases on record, the jnsuIA
ance companies will doubtless add to
the questions which they put to canda-
dates for insurance: ibid your father
or mother ever swallow needles, and,
If so, how many, anT of what kind
sewing, darning, or carpet!"

There are two different kinds of

who travels afoot from place to place,

Of three or four States, and there's his
brother, who hops from Boston to Pen
sacola, or from Philadelphia to Chicago.
This fellow yearly makes a dozen or
two tours of the country, and he ac-
complishes these flee-like feats by
using the railroads. The ingenuity he
displays in evading the officers is re-
markable, and the risk he runs in tuck

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
BUZZARD'S BAY, June 7, 1894
The coming of Mrs. Cleveland marks the
opening Of the season, officially, at least,
along the Buzzard's Bay shores. Out Of
the past nine years she has spent moro
months here at Gray Gables and at Marion
across the bay, than she has in any other
one place, not excepting Washington or
New York. Her introduction to Cape Cod
was nine summers ago. when she visited
Marion, unaccompanied by the President,
and was the guest of Mrs. Greely, wife Of
Gen. Greely, then chief of the signal
bureau, under the first Cleveland admin
istration. The following year she was the
guest Of Mrs. Glider, wife of Editor Rich
ard Watson Glider of the Century Maga-
zire. and it was still another year before
the President followed her to the then
social center of the bay.
Her arrival at midnight Wednesday,
though quite different from any of her pre-
vious journeys thither from Washington or
Gotham in seasons past, ended q trim
marked by no special incident. The adroit-
ly-worded press dispatches which preceded
her, relative to a probable stop-over at
Greenwich, Conn, to enjoy the hospitality
and the further probability that she would
proceed thence east on board the steam
yacht Oneida, served to keep the ruck Of
humanity from the railroad stations en-
transit, that her flight into Massachusetts,
might be known only in a general way uri-
til the day after landing so quietly at Gray
Gables, under cover of the night.
Gray Gables has been well prepared for
the reception of Mrs. Cleveland, the Presi-
dent and the little Misses Cleveland The
grounds are in a neater condition than ever
before. An ice house has been added to the
conveniences of the pi esidential household.

tial boat landing this year, which suggests
that more important craft than heretofore
is likely to cruise up into the bay this sum.
mer than formerly. Everything that is
new about the place is being constructed
with substantial, though plain. appearance
which indicates that Mr.. Cleveland intends
to become a confirmed Cape Cod fisherman

party have passed from him
