EASTER DESSERTS.
Some New Dishes That May Taste
Good.

The round of winter desserts has been
pretty well exhausted by this time, and
now that the holiday season is on the fam
lily will welcome some new kind of sweet
meat, 1t is usually the Office of the daugh-
ter of the house to learn a little of cooking
ways by preparing the desserts, and With
many free hours during the next week or
two she will find special delight in expert
menting with the following tried recipes.
and at the same time the family will be
treated TO some very novel and delicious
goodies:
Steamed Custard.-Put three-quarters of
pint OF milk into a stewpan with two
ounces of loaf sugar and small piece or
pinch of cinnamon. Beat the yolks Of two
eggs thoroughly and whisk the whites to
stiff froth, finally adding them to the yolks

point pour it by degrees onto the eggs,

THE beautiful Lenten wedding

much as did the brides them
selves, the one being hlmy and fluffy, the
other severely rich and plain The brides
were Opposites in their coloring. one being
a decided blonde. and the other pro-
nounced brunette.
Miss Ruth Bacon. who married Austin
Cheney wore a soft, clnging robe of lib

bodice had a round yoke and unltned stock
of flmy lace and the sleeves were full
lace 1ounces over puffs.
Her long tulle veil was draped well back

in full view. 1t was caught with a spray
of orange blossoms. In the center of the

Watrous in an Uproar.

The town of Watrous Is in an up
roar In regard to school matters. JUS
tice Upton yesterday sentenced the
principal, A. H Preston to pay q
fine Of fifty dollars for whipping an
unruly boy and Attorney Hayden,
who represented him mas appealed the
case, and will undoubtedly win 1t.
There Is a story of considerable in
terest connected with the affair.
There was cOntesp when Alex. WI
mans, man Of ability and force, was
elected school director and the feel
Ing became bitter when Mr.. Winans
won out In the suit that Was brought
Mr. Preston and Miss Irene Whit
more of this city were elected teach
ers. Both are exceptionally c0mpe-
tent and the school is undoubtedly the
best ever conducted in Watrous.
Nevertheless the hostile faction has
striven to make trouble for the direc-
tors and the teachers. A young scion
Of the house OF Martinez became un.
ruly and Miss Whitmore turned the
lad over to the principal. The latter
proceeded TO administer salutary and
much deserved but not unduly severe
whipping.
The hostile factions complained TO
the board which sustained the prin-
cipal. Then the case was taken into
court, a jury was called for and the
jury convicted Mr.. Preston ri as
sault. Judge Upton, was by the stat
ute, obliged to impose a fine. VIM.
Graner and J. b. Martinez appeared
for the prosecution.
There is Of course no accounting
for some verdicts Of some juries, as the
best people Of watrous are unani-
mously outspoken in favor Of the
teachers. the board and the present
enlightened manner Of conducting
school matters as against the deplor-
able system SO long in vogue up
there When the case comes to be
heard on It's merits there seems to be
no reason to doubt that the only
thing left to comfort the prosecution
will be the costs u will have to pay
for bringing the suit.
