There are many readers of the
MESSENGER living along the bay shore
who, perhaps, are unaoquainted with
the law for catching diamond back
terrapin, and il is for their benefit and
to save them arrest and fine that we in
form them OF the law passed by the
Legislature of 1894, making il crime
to catch, buy, or sell terrapins less

The merry-go-round man moved
away from town on the boat Thursday.
His destination was Onancock, Va, and
we presume he arrived safe with his
menagerie of wooden animals. Com
plant was made to the City Council
by some of our merchants that the
merry go-round was Objectionable and
the owner was notified that he would
have to go to another section OF the
town. As he was doing very little
business he preferred to leave town
and no tears were shed on either side.
The usually monotonous picnic
menu is given an agreeable change by
adding deviled eggs. To make this
dish, first boil the eggs hard, afterwards
removing the shells. Cut carefully in
halves with a silver knife and take out
the yolks, mash these fine with silver
spoon, and add enough mayonnaise
dressing to form smooth paste With
this fill the empty halves, put them
evenly together and fasten with tooth
picks. Wrap each egg in white tissue
paper and keep on ice until you are
ready to pack the hamper.

If it required an annual outlay of
$4,000 to insure family against any
serious consequences from an attack of
bowel complaint during the year there
are many who would feel it their duty
to pay il; that they could not afford to
risk their lives, and those of their fam
lily for such an amount. Any one can
get this insurance for % cents, that be-

Prof. George Bishop, the world
renowned snake handler, while exhibit
ing in Quantico. Wicomico county, on
Saturday afternoon last, was bitten by
one of his many rattle snakes. He was
selling medicine, blacking and other
things, and the snakes were used to
draw crowd. After he was bitten he
said he did not mind it, as he had been
