CURIOSITY.
How Do You Explain These Eggs?

On Wednesday Levi Kratzer, who
lives near Camargo on Greenbriar,
came to town and told about an egg
which was attracting considerable at
tention in his neighborhood. On Sum
day his little girl was sent to get
some eggs. She returned with one on
which in raised brownish letters was
writing which has created so wide an
interest. We saw Mr.. Kratzer on
Wednesday and requested him to
bring the egg to our office. He also
said that when he left home on We'd
nesday the hen was on her nest. He
returned on Thursday, bringing two
eggs. The first was lsyed on Sunday
and has on it in raised brownish let
tiers the following writing, running
lengthwise from small to large end:
"Woe unto We men that break the
Sabbath, for your life is short"
Below this is cross II inches by +.
The above occupies half the surface
of the egg. Below this is a brown
spot egg-shaped Il by Il inches.
The second egg was layed on We'd
nesday, so he says, and has the fol-
lowing writing very distinct in bold
relief:
"Coming of the last day now
write unto you in Both which stir
up your pure minds by way of re-
membrance, and the elements shall
Melt with fervent heat the end.
Amen"
Below this is cross looking very
much like a serpent l 7-16 inches by
l4-16th inches.
The above almost covers the whole
surface of the egg. The writing on
these eggs is brownish looking, much
like gilt. The background is of light
err shade.
Mr.. Kratzer says there are people
who are suspicious about the eggs,
intimating that acids of some kind
have been used. He declares that if
any person has prepared the eggs he
and his family have no knowledge of
it. He says the eggs were layed on
the days mentioned. He does not
understand the matter. He took them
home with him on Thursday, saying
that some neighbors were coming in
at night to see them. The hen is now
carefully watched.
A joint stock company, composed
of Joe G. TurleY, John G. Richardson,
Dick Robinson and Cap. Gillaspie,
has bought the hen and eggs, paying
for the same 800, provided the rep
reservations made are verified, j. e..
that the henslayed the eggs just as
they appear. We presume Mr.. KRAFT
ger is honest in his belief. Does he
think he is deceiving any one?

THEY ADMIT IT.

MIDNIGHT lei Heraltlo de Ma
drid says that Admiral Montejo
changed his flagship during the
engagement or between the two

the Bessie X. in Seymour Narrows some
13 days ago going back with the tide.
The Bessie X, which Is 9O-ton

sailed from here on her return March i.
Up to last Tuesday she had not arrived
