THE daily papers have been
teeming for the past two weeks
with accounts of floods in the
west which have destroyed
hundreds of lives and millions
of dollars in property. We feel
very sorry for the unfortunates
and we cannot refrain from
once more calling the attention
of the residents of our own
Eastern Shore of Maryland
to their fortunate condition.
While we are not wealthy
people we are safe in the feel
ing that no floods will destroy
our towns and villages and we
are comparatively safe from
any such dire disasters as year
ly visit other sections of the
county. Surely this is God 5
country and we should praise
Him for his goodness TO us.

Under the above caption. Mr..
Norval +. Foard one of the
editors of the Baltimore SIM has
produced Il handy little volume,
that will be much sought after
by native Marylanders at home
and abroad. Mr.. Foard is one of
the States ablest journalists
and he has taken considerable
trouble upon himself in gather
ing and putting into print this
encyclopedia of information
about dear old Maryland. The
book contains half tone illus
trations of Maryland farm and
river scenery as well as views
of mines and factories The
book is bound to do much good
Mr.. Foard gives the follow
ing account of the oyster beds
along our bay. and pays high
tribute to the industry and
intelligence of our planters:
Worcester is the only county
in the state, except Garrett.
which is not drained into the
Chesapeake. Along the whole
ocean front there is sand S, it
known as Sinepuxent Bee II,
which separates from the ocean,
and forms a large and shallow
inland bay. In the upper part
of this bay the water is too
fresh for the production of
oysters. That portion in Mary
land in which oysters will grow
begins at the Virginia line, and
extends northward about ten
miles. The width of this por-
ton of Sinepuxent is from six
to seven miles. The depth of
the water in not much over
three or four feet, except i'm the
channel, where the depth is as
great as eight or ten feet. The
water of the bay is sluggish.
there being but little tide. AS
the oyster cannot go after its
food, it must rely upon the
tides and currents to bring it to
him, and in this respect the
Chesapeake has a great advan-
tage over the Sinepuxent. 1t
has another great advantage.
The waters of the Chesapeake
are SO rich in oyster spat, that
in order to form a bed of oys-
tiers, il is only necessary to put
some hard substance i'm the
water, such as shells or stones.
upon which the swimming spat
may fasten. In the Sinepuxent.
on the other hand, seed oysters
must be planted. Nowhere i'm
the State of Maryland are to be
found more enterprising or
intelligent watermen than in
the bay section of Worcester
county. The proof of this is in
the work they have done and
the command of capital which
their credit, based on their
work, has secured for them. Ia
the first place, it is only here
in Maryland that the oyster
planting law is so framed g. to
-narantee full protection

individual rights and industry.
Oyster-planting here has no
connection with the Chesa-
peake bay and its tributaries.
The SinepuXent is a Worcester
county affair, and the people
are making something out of
the separate privilege. or oppor-
tunity which they individually
enjoy. At Onley's the oyster
product is yearly from % 900 to
30, 900 barrels of the finest ovs-
tiers that grow. The price
realized at the landing is from
=. 80 to 81 a barrel. without
passing through the hands of
commission merchants. and all
are sold direct to New York.
The seed oysters for these ex-
tensive plantations are con-
veniently brought by interior
water line from North Caro-
lima. The conditions for growth
are quite as favorable as any
part of the Chesapeake, for the
SinepuXent has every advan-
tage for the development of the
oyster, and giving il the desired
flavor that the Chesapeake
possesses. There is the addi-
tional advantage that the Wor-
cester planters, though work
ing individually, protect and
respect each others rights
One reason for this is that they
are all planters, and have no
public bars to squabble over,
and lure them from the practise
of regulated industry. There
is no oyster police or fishery foI
the SinepuXent. Every planter
has his grounds staked off. and
there is no more invasion OF
the oyster plantation, than
there is of corn-fields or wheat
fields on land. There is every
condition toprOmOte and stimu-
late the industry. and condi.
tions are such that work may
be prosecuted all the year, in
winter as well as i'm the sum.

A UNIQUE WEDDING FUNCTION.

1.-THE man who gets married learns a lot
before the wedding day arrives" remarked
a holiday bridegroom, land If he is at all
adventurous or investigating in disposition
he sometimes gets into trouble, too. For
three weeks before we were married my
sweetheart's mother packed me off out. of
town, to my mothers home, to get rid of
me, she said. and to give the dressmakers
chance. Naturally of domestic turn, 1
looked around down at the old home to
see what L could swipe for our new home
that was to be- took everything any
body gave me, from rug to rag. One
day my mother remarked that she intended
to give me some pillows made of my great
grandmother's feather beds. when she could
get somebody to fill the pillow ticks. AS
felt very amiable and energetic, besides
being DESTROYS to accumulate our inherited
pillows then and there, 1 said: I'll fill
those pillows myself. How do you go at
it,?
my mother said 1t was a troublesome
job, and 1 couldn't do it; I'd get feathers
all over the place and all over myself. But
1 said that if anybody else could fill pill
low ticks from feather beds 1 could do 1t,
and wouldn't make any more muss than
anybody else, either.
''Well, she shut me up in an empty room
with the old feather beds and the new pill
low ticks, and told me how to go about it.
Did you ever fill any feather pillows?
Didn't? Well. next time you have chance
try 1t and see how you come out. You
have to rip a place in the feather bed as
wide as the pillow, then sew the pillow
tick to the hole in the feather bed; then
you jounce the feather bed until you get
the pillow tick full of feathers: then you
rip the two articles apart and sew up the
pillow. For another pillow proceed as be-
fore. My mother wanted me to tie up my
head before / went into the scrimmage,
but I wouldn't do it; did put on old
bathrobe over my clothes, however. OF
course, / wanted all could get, so / was
in that feather engagement for long time
until / had wrestled four nice hard pill
lows out of my great-grandmothers feath-
er bed. There were billions of loose feath-
ers all over the room, and all over me; in
fact, looked like a big Christmas goose,
or a Santa Claus gone crazy The only
drawback was that L had no one to take
my photograph for my sweetheart to see.
1t would have been sure cure for the
blues for the rest of her lfe IL she ever
asks me if 1 would be willing to die for
her, I'll say: Yes, I'll die for you, but L
won't stuff any more pillows for you
I'm her letter that day she wrote that
she had had linen shower given her by
some friends. 1 wired back to her:
Had a feather shower. Caught four
bags FULL"
