VERY FOND OF EGGS
Ohio Family Devour Dozens of Raw
Eggs Every Day

There is a family out in South Cum
minsville that has developed PEN
chant for raw eggs to degree almost
impossible to believe. 1t is common talk
in the neighborhood that from the head
of the family down to the youngest child
raw eggs form almost their entire diet.
and even the animals on the place are
fond of the same kind of food The head
of the household has several incubators,
and raises poultry for living. Perhaps
this has something to do with it, One
day last week a stranger called at the
place and was surprised to see three
young children sitting along in a row,
each with several raw eggs in front of
them, which they seemed to relish i'm
mensely while the hired man was feed
ing an old horse and a Newfoundland
dog the same dose, which they. appeared
to enjoy as much as the children. If the
hens were to suddenly go on strike it
would break the head of the house in a
week to supply the common demand of
his family for raw eggs at any and all
stages.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

CHILD SWALLOWS A BRACELET
K Rays Locate the Bauble Which She
Had Been Given to Play With

NEWPORT, r. l.. July 13.-Mrs Hol-
lis Hunnewell of this city gave her g.
year-old daughter a chain bracelet set
with diamonds and rubies to play with
while she went out to attend luncheon
When mamma came home The bracelet
was gone. The nursery maid declared
she had not seen it, and search proved of
no avail Finally little Miss Hunnewell
volunteered the informa ton, 'I's swal-
lowed it,
Drs. Clement Cleveland, Beverly Rob-
inson and S. s. Burt were Immediately
summoned. The child gave no evidence
of the pain and inconvenience which the
jeweled bracelet might be supposed to
cause. On the contrary, she was in high
glee and spirits. Still she clung to the
story of having swallowed the bracelet
While DR.. Cleveland prepared to cast
an x ray through the little girls stom-
ach Ben Richards, the famous Newport
hawkeye, was requested to keep a watch
for any possible attempt at larceny of
the jewels. The x ray disclosed a dark
extraneous object in the girls stomach
The detective was discharged, the maid
Justified. the doctors renewed their eff
forts; but the denoument came this
morning when Mr.. Hunnewell triumph
antly exhibited the bracelet at the New
port club and told of its strange journey.
Little Miss Hunnewell is none the
worse for having been lined with jewels,
and her reputation for veracity is es-
ia ablished for all ages

The Growth of the German NAVY

The growth of the German navy since
1872 has been extraordinary. Accord
ing to figures quoted in the Reichstag g
the increase in naval expenditure since
that date has been 527 per cent. The
outlay of the North German Confedera-
tion in 1870 was only S1,201, 900; in 1885
that of the German Empire stood at
G2,119,000; while at the date of the EN-
peror William Ills accession OF was e.
100000, which by last year had risen to
e4,S15,0OO. The proposals of the German
Admiralty for the present year involved
an expenditure Of f6, 500,0 600, of which
more than s6,OOO,OOO has been voted by
the Reichstag. During the present
reign-in period, that is to say, of nine
years-no less than Sc new units have
been added to the fleet. But yet neither
Kaiser William nor Admiral Holman
is satisfied. Like oliver Twist, they are
asking for more and are making it very

A STAR WITNESS
In the Costa Rican Counterfeiting
Case

NEW YORK, July 13.-Mrs. Eugenia
Reinman was the star witness today
when the examination of the four al
legged Costa Rican counterfeiters, Louis
Hausman, Mrs. Betsey Chevin, Freder-
lea Nora and Herman Dohn, were re-
sumed before United States Commits
sioner Shields. Mrs. Reinmann is also un
der arrest as one of the counterfeiters
and has turned states evidence. Today
she told all she knew about the alleged
counterfeiting of 81, ,000, 900 worth of notes
of the Bank of Costa Rica at San Jose
to assist revolution to overthrow Pres
dent Iglesias and the government of
Costa Rica. Mora was to be the new
president of Costa Rica in the event of
the success of the revolution. Mrs. Rein
mann said that on March I'd last Ricardo
de Requesus, who owns the Spanish
American printing establishment in this
city and who also is under arrest, went
to her room just prior to his departure
to New Orleans on his way to Costa Rica.
He had a satchel which the witness
opened. She said she found it packed
with pesos notes of the Bank of Costa
Rica.
Afterwards Mrs. Reinmann said she
went with De Requesus to his printing
place, he carrying the satchel Mora,
Hausman and several others were there.
Mrs. Reinmann then told of the trip to
San Jose, Costa Rica, where they re-
mained two weeks. She and De Reque-
sus returned to this city. On cross ex-
animation she told that De Requesus
told her that he had made the counter
felt notes for Moras political business;
that Mora would redeem them when
Mora became president of Costa Rica.

NEEDLE TRAVELS WRONG WAY
Eccentric Course of a Foreign Sub
stance in a Woman's Hand

ST. LOUIS, Mo, July 13-A needle in
the right and of Mrs. Sarah SPOTS es-
tablished a record for speed and pre-
cedent for the conduct of foreign sub
stances in the human body. This par
ticular needle turned itself around while
in Mrs SPOTS hand and then added tc
its eccentric twist by travelling up the
hand to the end of her fingers, whereas
it should have worked its way towards
the elbow. II was only two weeks max
ir.g the trip.
Mrs. SPOTS is widow. She lives at
1918 North Ninth street. Two weeks ago
she struck her right hand against a ta-
BILE while having an encounter with a
door she couldn't open. Somebod had
slowed away for safe keeping in the
table cloth large threaded needle Mrs.
SPOTS hand hit the needle and the steel
entered her wrist 1t broke aft about
three-fourths of its length, leaving a
piece an inch long in the flesh.
The puncture made in Mrs. Spots
wrist was small, and she had no i'll et-
fects from the accident In two or three
days she almost forgot about it and be-
gan to think she must have been mistak-
en-, that the broken end Of the needle had
not entered her wrist as she thought.
Monday evening she changed her
mind The right hand began to swell
until 1t was twice its natural size. She
never had such an acute pain as that in
her wrist 1t was odd that the wrist
should pain her, when the Inflammation
seemed in the upper part of her hand.
She went to Dr. N. c. Shanahan, recent
senior physician at the city hospital,
who has an office at 1121 Cass avenue.
The doctor took Mrs. SPOTS to Aloe's
store on Olive street, TO examine her
hand by the X rays Monday afternoon.
The battery was given all its power but
nothing could be seen in the woman 5
hand until it was looked at through a
Horoscope. The needle was then foun
in the flesh between the third and fourth
metacarpal lines, or, in plain English
the bones of the third and fourth fingers
DR.. Shanahan took MS patient back to
his office DR.. G. H. McElfre sh admins.
tered choloroform to Mrs. SPOTS and DR..
Shanahan made one deep incision down
the palm of her hand and another deep
one crosswise, The thickened tissues of
the palm demanded the two incisiorgs
The broken needle was easily picked out
1t lay with it's point toward the wrist
showing that it had either turned
around in the woman's hand or had
Travelled backward. In each case il
took the opposite course to that natur-
ally taken by needle points and similar
substances. The doctors think it re-
markable that the needle worked its
way so far in such short ime.
Mr. SPOTS was entirely free from
pain next morning and was attending tc
her household duties as usual
