TACKLEDA SURPRISE PARTY.

Old Mr.. Grobbs Got in Trouble by Insult.
ing an American Institution.
Of course the surprise party arrived
at the wrong time. Old Mr.. Grobbs
was drunk, his wife was sick and the
hired girl was tackling big wash.
Darn those pedlers!" yelled old
Grobbs as timid ring came at the
door of his fiat. Darn 'em. I'll break
in the face of the next one who annoys
mer'
He seized club and opened the door
with savage bang.
There stood the surprise party, thirty
of them expectant smiles on their faces
and bundles of things in their hands.
Before old Grobbs could quite take in
the situation they had swarmed into
the parlor and had bestowed themselves
around it with their bundles at their
feet.
eve thought we'd surprise you, Uncle
Grobbs,' said the spokesman, who tried
to be cheerful, but who nevertheless
didn't quite relish the baleful glitter
in the old mans eye and his determined
grasp of the club.
"You did, eh?"
eyes, uncle" replied the spokesman,
laughing nervously. ''It's what you
call a surprise party"
D"'TiS, Ell; is it?'' said the fierce Mr.,
Grobbs, looking around. "Well, guess
the surprise is going to be on the other
side of the house." Then he burst into
volley of oaths, ending up with, 'Get
out of here; darn you for parcel of
worthless, good-for-nothing fools"
There were thirty of them.
This treatment changed their frame
of mind. They didn't quite know how
to take it. They knew they were in
truders, but their purpose was benev-
olent one. Indignation succeeded sur
prise, and when some one suggested,
Lets do the old man up" the PROPOSE
ton was unanimously adopted.
And so the drunken old Mr. Grobbs
was rolled on the floor, pelted with pie
and doughnuts and then stood on his
head and held inverted until it seemed
to him that after all the thing was a
surprise party, and that the surprise
had been communicated by those who
got it up very much as arranged for in
the programme. Even the women in
the party had kick at the inebriated
old gentleman as he lay on the floor.
Then some one suggested that Grobbs
ought to be arrested. Covered with
dough, exploded cream puffs, oysters
and fractions of pie, and speechless
with rage, he was carried down to the
sidewalk and thrust into the street,
One of the party went and suggested
to policeman that the degraded OBJ
!ect, who was staggering along the
pavement almost blinded with apple
butter, was thoroughly disorderly and
should be taken care of. This seemed a
reasonable proposition, and so the blue
coat took him to the police station and
| placed him in cell
Then the surprisers went on with
their rfarty.--N. Y. Herald

HERE AND THERE.

The fat animal will suffer severely
in warm weather, and the pasture is
the best place for it at this season,
grain being withheld.
"A large crop is not only more profit
able than small one, but costs less
prOportionatelY. It requires no more
time to pillow an acre for a good crop
than for poor one.
Colts and calves that have been
weaned should cost but very little from
now until fall, mess of ground oats
twice a day being sufficient where the
pasture is good.
Some farmers believe that sheepre-
guire but little water, and neglect the
flock in that respect. The fact is that
sheep require water regularly and
should receive an unlimited supply at
all times.
Instead of having the rack over the
horses head, thus compelling the ami
NAL to reach upward for the hay, the
rack should be down on the floor, where
the horse can eat his food in more
natural position.
If we would succeed in our calling,
we must conduct things intelligently-
we must go to some trouble and ex-
pense to get the use of the best sires,
and we must not stand on few dollars
extra for their use.
The Horticultural Times says that
no orchards or gardens should be with
out toads, as they are great insect kill
ers. They feed on flies, ants, snails.
caterpillars, moths, beetles, grubs,
worms, etc.
In starting an orchard do not ges
too many varieties. Have some of the
earliest and some of the late keeping
varieties that you may have fruit from
the first week in August until the last
week in June. Let your principal crop
be not over four varieties.-V. P, De.

EIRESIDE FRAGMENTS.

Cottage Pudding.-Bake nice
plain cake in layers, spread with the
sauce, and serve with whipped cream.
This is very nice.-Rural New Yorker.
White Cake.-Two-thirds cup but
ter one and one-half cup sugar, two
thirds cup sweet milk, three cups flour,
one teaspoon extract lemon or vanilla,
one teaspoon baking powder. This
makes nice loaf or layer cream-cake.
Cream filling-One-half cup sugar, one
cup sweet milk, one teaspoon butter,
one dessertspoon cornstarch, wet in
little milk.-Detroit Free Press.
Onion Salad. Peel some mild
onions, slice, and over them sprinkle
very little salt; let stand one hour. If
the salt has drawn any juice from the
onions drain it off, add dash of pep
per and cider vinegar enough to nearly
cover them. If made day or so be-
fore using, the onions become milder
in taste, but lose their crispness.-
Orange Judd Farmer
-Hickorynut Cake -Four eggs, two
cups of sugar, one-half cup of cream or
butter, two and one-half cups of -four,
two teaspoonfuls of baking powder.
Bake in jelly tins, and between the
layers spread the following cream:
Two eggs, one cup of sugar, two heap
ing tablespoonfuls of cornstarch, one
coffee-cupful of chopped hickorynut
meats, one pint of milk. Beat the
eggs, sugar, cornstarch and nuts to-
gether and stir it into the pint of milk
while it is boiling; let it cook as thick
as a custard, and when cold spread it
between the layers. Budget.
Dried Apple Cake.-Soak three cups
dried apples in warm water over night.
Drain off the water through a sieve,
chop the apples slightly, then simmer
them for two hours in three cups of
molasses, then add two eggs, one cup
sugar, one cup sweet milk or water,
then one quarter cup butter or lard,
-four to make stiff batter, two heap
ing teaspoonfuls baking powder in
flour; cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg to
taste. Raisins added improve the cake
Potato Puffs.-Take half a dozen
medium-sized cold potatoes, boiled the
previous day; peel and CRATE. Mix with
it three eggs, yolks and whites beaten
together, and season with pepper, salt
and trifle of nutmeg. Work well with
the hands; a spoon will not make the
mass light. Flour the hands, work the
potato into balls and lay on a Toured
board until they are dropped into hot
fat. These balls puff out beautifully,
and are as different from the usual
potato croquettes as cream fsom milk.
Good Housekeeping.
Egg Scallop.-Cut cold boiled NUT
ton into small pieces If you have none
of the drawn butter left, make a little
stock with the dry bits of meat and
gristle. Allow two cups of meat to
one of gravy. Butter small pudding
dish, and sprinkle the bottom with dry
crumbs; pour on the meat and gravy,
seasoned with pepper and salt and one
teaspoonful of chopped onion; cover the
top with dry bread-crumbs, making the
dish not quite full, and having the top
as smooth as possible; put little bits of
butter over the crumbs; cover with a
plate, and bake about twenty minutes;
then take off the plate and break
enough eggs over the top to cover the
crumbs, and return to the oven until
the eggs are cooked.-Christian Union.

ALEXANDRIA.
ABOLITION OF AN OLD OFFICE.

ABOLITION OF AN OLD OFFICE.
The ancient Office Of weigher and inspector
Of hay, having been one Of the municipal Offices
OF Alexandria for nearly century, was abol-
ished at the last meeting Of the city council
The hay scales were established here in 1898 by
MIR. Abraham Farr at his house on 81. Asaph
street, where Mr.. Thomas Hoys stove store now
stands The wooden beams of the hay scales
extended above the alley which now sdjoins
the Columbia engine house, and the wagons
were driven upon great wooden scale pan
that was lifted by weights at the other end
of the beam inside the house. Afterward
platform scales were erected on St. Assph
street at the east end of the alley and hay
weighed there until after the war. Abraham
Farr continued weigher of hsv for many wears
and was succeeded by John Shakes, who, having
been at first deputy and then principal, weighed
ali the hay which came to town from l79s to
lSG0, when at his death he was succeeded by
the late F. NJ Weldon, TO whom the late
Richard Rudd succeeded About 1879 the hay
scales were torn up and the effort to re-erett
them in the market alley led to the suit Of
Flemming against the city council, in which a
temporary injunction that prevented the cree
ton of them continued for some years.
Meanwhile the hay was weighed on Hewes a
Aitcheson's coal scales at Fairfax and Duke
streets, and at Mr.. Rudd's death Mr.. Aitche-
son was elected weIgher and continued until
the abolition of the oaice, which took place to-
for that purpose.
THE IMPROVED FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The Alexandria fire department will hereafter
have seven paid firemen instead OF Eve as here
tofore, and the wardens in q few days will
select two drivers of hose carriages, making
the paid force to consist of five drivers and two
engineers. The wardens will also purchase two
hose wagons at a cost Of $3.50, two horses and
harness at a cost of $3.50, and an addition to
the pay roll Of the fire department of ESQ 10
cover expenses until June 1 will be made.
CORPORATION COURT.
The corporation court, Judge Norton. has
probated the will Of the late VIM. Triplett and
continues open daily for routine business.
NOTES.
Tho mayor has signed the ordinance granting
to L. W. Spear and his associates the right to
use the streets Of Alexandria for q street rail-
way, and the bill is now a law
The Denman Horse Shoe Company and the
Brightwood Hotel Company, both OF Washing
ton, have been chartered here.

how FUEL FOR THE POOR CAN BE cor.

HOW FUEL FOR THE POOR CAN BE GOT.
"As fuel is one of the chief wants Of the
towns needy" said an old gentleman this morp-
ing. 1.-THE yestry OF the Presbyterian Church
could do much toward allayiug suffering by
allowing the cutting down of the old dry trees
in their abandoned graveyard Scattered all
about the place is waste wood in abundance.
and as all are anxious TO see the square cleared
as quickly IS possible, both the church and the
poor would be benefited. To prevent the injur-
ing OF tombs, dc., by over-anNious wood cutters
the sexton could superintend the cutting and
gathering"
BLASTING ICE WITH DYNAMITE
Mr.. E. c. Broughton, for Charles @. Smith
4 Son, stone men, was at work all day yester-
day exploding dynamite cartridges off George
towns wharves for the purpose Of destroying
the ice and making a channel The efforts Of
the destroyer were crowned with success and
the river was cleared for q considerable dis
lance. By this evening at O'Clock Mr.. Brough-
ton expects to have q full twenty-foot
channel from SD street 70 Littlefeld & Alvord's
wharf in Washington. The daily cost incurred
by the setting of of the cartridges is about Sl0.
As prepared the explosions are said to be per-
fectiy harmless and may be broken and held to
q fame without danger. They are set of by an
electric spark after being dropped in the de-
sired spots.
FIRE THIS MORNING.
At 1:50 o'clock this morning a fire broke out
in the two-story boat house Of Mr.. Joseph Pas
seno in the rear Of s134 K street, and the flames
beginning to spread an alarm was turned in.
With her usual promptness No. arrived on the
scene and soon water was victorious over fire.
The loss was fully covered by Insurance. Sew
erai boats were damaged by flying sparks.
NOTES.
On Tuesday another child Of Mr. and Mrs.
Aloysius Ashe was laid to rest making the
fourth since last Saturday. The stricken
parents are now childless Though ii was
stated that Group had carried them all of,
member Of the family was heard to say yester-
day that black diphtheria was the real cause.
The Misses Blackford Of 3026 Q street gave

present were: Misses Wheatley. Bradley, Mason,
Stuart, Dunlop, Mcintyre, Herbert, Compton,
Saunders, Blackford, and Messrs. Sims, Riley,
DarneilIe, Nicholson. Hume, Emory and Ha1-
ton.
Comment is being made on the scarcity Of

As the extension OF the Norfolk and Western
railroad with Georgetown means much to the
country about Montgomery voters are taking
a lively interest in the bill and endeavoring to
get their representatives in Congress 10 act on
it favorably.
