Tapeworm In an Egg

DR.. Seth B. Sprague of 2S3 Grove street.
Jersey City, has on exhibition tapeworm
which he took from an egg that was served
with several others for his breakfast yes
terday morning. DR.. Sprague says that the
egg had cracked in boiling and when he
took It from the dish he saw what seemed
to be worm protruding from the oriflce.
Carefully removing the shell. he found the
worm coiled up, and when II was stretched
out 1t proved to be four feet long.
The white and yolk Of the egg. DR..
Sprague said last night, were in perfect
condition, the worm occupying the large
end Of the egg In which the air Is stored.
1t was a double puzzle. he said, first, as to
how the worm got into the egg, and sec
ond, how 1t could have coiled itself tightly
enough to at so small o space. The second
problem DR.. sprague gave UP, but as to
the first, he said that the hen that laid the
egg had probably swallowed the germ OF
the worm. which, when 1t developed had
been inclosed In the shell OF the egg, either
by a freak or some process Of nature. for
the hens proteotion.-New York Times.

SOME QUEENS WHO SMOKE
Women Of Title Among Inveterate
Devotees of Cigarettes

As unexpectedly as bolt from the blue"
came the sad tidings. promulgated few
days ago in court circles at st. Petersburg.

be greatly obliged to the ladies Of her house

This unlocked for intimation, reaching the

accepted by them as a command. and they
have summoned up courage to address
humble petition to her majesty, entreating
her to revoke request that is practically
a decree. In this prayerful document they
have ventured to remind Alexandria Feo-
dorovna that ladies are permitted to smoke
cigarettes at all the continental courts; that
among the august female votaries Of the
narcotic herb, born In the purple, are the
6owager czarina and her sister, the Priness

Roumania, and the queen Of Portugal, as
well as many grand duc7iesses. arch duch-

Eels in London

Talking about fishing, I am reminded OF
the destruction of the famous London Sun
day eel market, which had existed on the
Surrey side for over three hundred years.
Gus toners went from all parts of the me-
tropols to purchase this cheap and nutri-
tious food. The dealers were called "snig-
gers" and eels were sold by the grad
sixpence time. The cells were first placed
in sand, and the vender would sieze hand
full, which made about pound. 1t is
astonishing how many of our neighbors
eat eels Not long ago when a hydrant
was opened in Seventh avenue, above the
park, many of the squirming things came
out, and there was lively contest for their
possession. I would as lief eat a snake.
Eels are of great economic Importance.

A GRAVY Bath for a Boor

Shoes for Horses

No foot, no horse. Robert Bonner is the
highest authority in the universe on bal
ancing the hoof, but I doubt if he under
stands the art of shoeing. The cost of a
set of shoes in Paris ranges from to $50
francs. l have known many man to pay
$50 for four good plates nailed on by an
artist. In New York we are quite as care
full of our horseflesh, but 81 Is regarded as
extravagant for shoes. One of our noted
bankers has a horse worth s27O0, and on
this poor animal he has expended over $4,000
in shoes. Another New Yorker who drives
great deal on the road says he has spent
for shoes twenty times as much as his
horse Is worth.-Victor Smith in the New

Music for the Poor

Something like our college settlements
has got into the British mind, for Liverpool
has started the idea of giving concerts In
the courtyards of the worst quarters of
that city. If the dregs of creation cannot
be lifted out of the gutter, the means Of
Frightening and cheering them must be
taken to them. IT is to the credit of hui
manity that musicians have volunteered
and the people for whom the concerts are
given have cleaned up and decorated the
courts. Now who will deny the efficacy of
divine music. So far 1t Is only an expert
ment, but Liverpool's example will be imi-
tated England over, If the excellent ef-
fects OF these concerts continue as they
have begun.-Boston Herald.
