behind pile of trunks in the baggage
car. three tramps armed with revolvers.
waiting their chance to overpower
Baggage Ross, who had charge
of the car, and then plumber the mail

Ross noticed pile of baggage move
as the train was pulling into Middletown.
Not taking any chances. he telegraphed
to Clayton to have the car searched. By
the time the train reached there posse
had formed at the station to search the
car. After scattering number of
trunks about they discovered three
tramps. who were quickly hand-cuifed
and searched. Each man had large
revolver and plentiful supply of
cartridges.

Oysters On Crab.

Many remarkable curios appertaining
to the formation and growth of oysters
have been taken from the bottom of
the Chesapeake bay and tributaries.
Old bottles. clay pipes. gum boots and
many other like substances have been
found with clusters of oysters growing
to them. but the greatest curiosity in
this connection is. no doubt. that of a
crab caught few days ago by Thomas
Leonard. young boy of Cambridge,
and upon the top or back shell of which
seven oysters about the size of nickel
are growing. This is regarded as very
remarkable. but it clearly proves that
the spat of the oyster will cling to and
grow upon almost anything with which
it comes in contact. The young man is
keeping the crab alive. that all who
wish may see IT, OF course. If given its
liberty. the crab would soon die as re-
suit of being overburdeded by the
growth of the oysters. but the latter
would thrive on until full grown and
ready for the market.

How To Cure Cow Peas.

Many of the farmers in Worcester
County have planted a large acreage in
cow peas this year. and the crop gives
every indication of an abundant yield.
The season has been favorable. and the
crop generally has made luxuriant
growth, The crop will soon be ready
to harvest. and all who have grown COW
peas will be interested to know the best
means to save il. In answer to an in
quiry. Prof. w. +. Massey, editor of
the Practical Farmer. give the following
advice:
''The time to cut COW peas for hay is
when they have pods on them turning
yellow. / NOW in the morning only,
and if the day is hot and drying rake
into winrows in the evening. These
should be left lie and be turned the next
morning and raked that afternoon.
Next day turn the winrows with the
rake and put the hay into cocks made
as narrow and tall as they will stand.
When you can take bunch in the hand
and give it hard twist and can see no
sap run to the twist, it is right 10 go
into the barn. II must go in while limp
il the leaves are to be saved. and il
should not be allowed to heat in the
cocks. But haul ii in and store it with
out tramping and then let alone, for it
may heat and probably will. but If let
alone will cure all right. and il stirred
will mould"
Prof Massey is practical farmer of
many years experience and is well known
TO many of our farmers.

Boil All Drinking Water.

Health physician, Of this State
advise all persons to boil their drinking
water. The typhoid fever season is
now on and a preventative is better
than cure. 1t is epidemic in Baltimore
and other sections and the way to pre-
vent it is to use every known means To
keep it away from our fair county. Al
though there are several cases. of
course. in the county, yet there are
very few for this time of the year. An
other thing to be careful about is the
bite of mosquitoes. Some physicians
think that mosquitoes carry the typhoid
germ from section to section.
