ALEXANDRIA.

A terrific explosion OF large stove occurred
al the machine shops OF tho Virginia Midland
Hallway Company on Monday, causing a
stampede OF the employees OF those shops, who
soon vacated the building. Tho fragments OF
the stove new In all directions, and tho build
Ing was enveloped In smoke. As soon as the
shops were clear OF smoke an investigation re-
yeaied the fact that some person had pro-
cured piece OF gas-pipe about 10 Inches long,
nned II with gunpowder, plugged up both
ends and made small holo ia tho side OF tue
pipe. The "infornaP machine was then taken
10 the top OF the shops and dropped down
the pipe into the stove; hence the explosion.
Though an investigation has been made, the
perpetrators OF this practical Joke have not
been found out.

fremont has become famous for its
pretty girls. There is q large German
colony in the town, and the Gretchens
and Wilhelminas are the attractions for
the farmers sons in Westchester. They
wilfully disregard the beauties in their
neighboring church pews and go to
fremont TO the Lutheran Church,
where they sit in the rear seats and
captivate the maidens. Just out of
fremont live the families of the
Schmidts and Keiserc, side by side, en-
joying, until a short time ago, absolute
peace and plenty. The heads of the re-
spective families are veterans of the
war OF 1870. and in the long wint
evenings their habit was to meet in one
or the other of their kitchens and talk
of the ''Silent Man" Each family has
eight daughters-all pretty and re-
ligious. 1t is sight worth seeing. say
the Westchester farmers. to watch the
Schmidts and Keisers going to church.
In the early part of the month a young
man appeared in the congregation of the
lutheran Church, whose charms were
so many that the Schmidt and Keiser
families Immediately fell in love with
him. Then the friendship which had
formerly characterized them became as
gall and NORWOOD. Mrs. Schmidt
would stand on one side of her fence and
revile the stout Mrs. Keiser TO degree
that one night Mrs. Keiser invaded the
enemies territory and sat on
Mrs. Schmidt's head. When Mr..
Schmidt came home and learned the
degradation of his family, he went into
the Keiaar hnusSh0ld and after tpocE
ing Mr.. Keiser down, damned dish
pan over his head and shoulders. Last
saturday night the young man in ques-
ton, August Rippalyae, called on An
ME Schmidt, and after spending some
hours in her society, gave her final
embrace and departed. He had not
gone far from the house when Mr..
Keiser, his son and daughter Minnie
met him. After using the strongest
language to express their disgust at his
choice Miss Schmidt), they tied him
securely to a tree by the roadside and
left him to mediate upon the fickleness
of woman. After the Keiser family lie {
him. Rippalyae shrieked to so good a
purpose that he awakened Mr.. Schmidt,
who came out of his house in his night
costume and liberated his prospective
son-in-law. At present Mrs. Schmidt
has lawsuit against Mrs. Keiser for
assault; MIR. Keiser has an action
aga nst Mr.. Schmidt for felonious as
sault. and Mr.. Rippalyae has sued the
Keiser family to recover 5000 for as
sault. Mr.. Rippalyae is also about to
marry Miss Annie Schmidt.-N. Y

Taking Care OF Fowls.

There is little profit to be expected
from raising fowls unless they receive
proper care. Yet the belief seems t.
obtain among many that fowls do quite
as well If they are left to shift for them
selves. This is particularly observable
in the case of many farmers and Others
who keep only a small flock for family
use. Little attention is paid TO secur.
ing the comfort OF the flock at any sea-
SON of the year. They are not fed with
any regularity. and their quarters. ii
they have any of their own, are dirty
and cold in winter. and hot in summer.
They are expected to pick up the most
of their living around the farm yard, and
to find for themselves a shelter a. nigh,
wherever they may chance to be. No
convenient nesting places are arranged
for them, and as a consequence about
half the eggs are lost, or spoiled be
fore being found. Nor do they receive
any more attention in the season of in
cubation. They select t1eir own place
for setting on few or many eggs. and
have it all their own way alterwart
with the brood.
On account of this neglect it is not
strange that many complain that poul-
try-raising does not pay. No kind
business would paw conducted on such
principles. Fowls repay careful keep
ing as well as any other kind of live
stock, and they need it quite as much.
They will not lay during cold weather
their quarters are not kept warm an
light and re tsonably clean. They mus
be regularly fed with proper food and
supplied with pure water and place
or busting. Gravel should be placed
within their reach, and broken bones
or some substance that contains lime.
II they must be shut up at any time
during the warm season they should
not fail 10 have fresh grass or some 9TH
er grren food thrown to them. They
should have special attention if their
owners would enjoy the luxury Of fresh
gigs and early chickens. Treat the
poultry as well, or nearly as well, o.
you do your cattle. sheep and horses.
and You will have no reason to com
plain that they are = losing investment
