THE PROGRESS OF REDUCTION
The Consolidation Coal Company has
reduced the rent of houses to the mi
ners of that company at rates varying
from 20 to % PEI cent. A similar re-
ducyion is made in the price of coal to
the employee consumers. This is
a step exactly in the right directio n

Fatteniug POuItry,

1t is hopeless to attempt to fatten chickens
while they are at liberty. They must be put
up In proper coop, and this, like most other
appurtenances, need not be expensive. To
fatten twelve fowls, coop may be three feet
long, eighteen inches high and eighteen in
ches deep, made entirely of bars. No part
solid-neither top, side nor bottom. Discre-
ton must be used according to the size of
the chickens put up. They do not want any
room; indeed the closer they are the better,
provided they can all stand up at the same
time. Care must be taken to put up such as
have been accustomed to be together. or they
will fight. If one is quarrelsome, it is better
to remove it at once, as, like other bad ex-
amples, it soon finds imitators. Diseased
chickens should never be put up.
The food should be ground oats, and may
either be put up in trough or on fat
board running along the front of the coop.
1t may be mixed with water or milk, the lat
ter is better. 1t should be well soaked,
forming pulp as loose as can be, provided
ii does not run off the board. They must be
well fed three or four times day. the first
time as soon after daybreak as may be posi-
BILE or convenient, and then at intervals of
four hours. Each meal should be as much
as they can eat up clean, and no more
when they have done feeding, the board
should be wiped and some gravel spread. 1t
causes them to feed and thrive.
After fortnight of this treatment you
Will have good, fat fowls. If however,
there are but five or six to- be fatted, they
must not have as much room as though there
were dozen. Nothing is easier than to al
low them the proper space, as it is only nee
essary to have two or three pieces of wood to
pass between the bars and form a partition.
This may also serve when fowls are up at
different degrees of fairness. This requires at

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

To make Chicken Croquetles.
lady was asked for a good receipt for
making chicken croquettes, aud to oblige her
and, perhaps, many others, we reprint the
following from the one furnished us year or
two ago by correspondent residing in Ger
mantown, as the very best we know, the pro-
duct being good enough for all the crowned
heads of Europe. 1t is true that, if not so
complicated or good croquette is desired,
sweetbread, g., could be omitted. Our cor
respondent says
Boil sweetbread for three minutes, put it
into cold water and after an hour take out
and drain. Boil Calls brain for five min
utes and set aside to cool. Boil half a pint of
cream, with the same measure of fresh bread
crumbs, sifted clean of Jumps and crust
Cut off from the chickens all the brown
meat and reserve for use either to fricassee, to
stew with giblets, or when boiled and mixed
with an equal bulk of roasted veal, to make
into breakfast croquettes.
Boil the chickens till tender, in just water
enough to cover them. When the broth, is
cold, skim off all the grease, pour off the clear
portion and boil it down to half pint. Re
move the skin, fat and tendons and chop the
white meats as finely as possible, with the
sweetbread and brain, first adding a table
spoonful Of chopped parsley, the grated rind
and the JUICE of large lemon, one heaping

pepper.
Cut fine two shalotes or one small on ion.
fry with four ounces of butter, add a table
spoonful of flour and stir till smooth; transfer
it quickly to saucepan, add the chopped
meat, stir briskly, and as soon as hot add the
yolks of four fresh-laied eggs, remove from
the fire and when cool enough to handle
bruise in chopping- to paste. Then
spread on dish and put into the ice-box to
harden and stlffen.
After two or three hours mix thoroughly
and mould as follows: sprinkle molding
board with sifted cracker-dust, take a heap
ing tablespoonful of the meat paste and form
the croquette in the shape either of small
sugar-loaf or roll. When all are done dip
them one by one into well beaten eggs, roll in
finely sifted bread-crumbs, after an hour dip
and roll again and SIT in the ice-box till want
ed. Lastly fry enough hot lard to float them
to golden brown color, turning them care
fully while cookin to keep them shapely;
serve on napkin with sprays of parsley and
water-crcss.
Very acceptable croquettes are made by US
ing all the meat of the fowls; In that case
siugle chickeng weighing six pounds will be
required; but when the white meat only is
used they are much more delicate.
This receipt will make about one and
half dozen croquettes, which will cost, with
chickens at twenty-five cents a pound, and
deducting the value of the brown meat, about
one dollar and a half per dozen.-Ger. Tele-

standard remedy for the treatment of Caarrh. The
proprietors have been waited upon by gentlemen

A Belle OF Pr@neste.
Cnsteilani Collection of Antiques.


BY MARGARET j. PRESTON.
Here is her toilette-case, incrust
Over with greenest of classic rust;
Still with the delicate twist and time
Visible of the rare design;
Even the very casket where,
Nearly three thousand years ago.,
One who was young and fresh and 1air-
Fair as the fairest that you know
Hoar0ed her maiden treasures. See,
Here is the mirror that used to be
Able to flash with silvery grace
Back the divinity of her face;
This is the comb-its carvings vet
Perfect-that knotted her braids of let:
There's the cicada for her brow;
Arrows whose points are blunted now;
Coils Ier her throat; an unguent pot
lProof OF some moulder's wondrous skilD;
Ivory tablets with blot
showing tint Of the carmine still.
This was her necklace: even as
Toy with its links of threaded gold.
She may have toyed, with pensive sigh,
Dropping them through her fingers, while
Hearing, perhaps, with blushing smile,
Under the lines, some lover bold
Telling the tale tn ats never old.
Here is the fibula that lay
Over her heart for mahy day,
Throbbing what time that lover won
Wreaths when Etruscan games were done;
Quivering under the anguished strain
When he was borne from battle, slain;
Rising and falling with her breath,
warming with life or chilled with DEATH
She-has she vanished who seems so near,
Drawn by this ancient cista here?-
Faded as faded those sunset dyes
Into the infinite, awful skies?-
Passed as the wind passed over the grain
Headed to ripeness on the PLAN
Girdling Pr8neste? Did she so
Perish these centuried years ago,
Leaving this only trace, whose rust
Even may mock her scattered dust?
Can you believe this streak of red
Lives, while her subtle sOnl is deal?
Do the cicada's wings Unfold
Essence her spirit could mol hold?
Dare you avouch this bronze can be
Something immortal more than she?
Why do i ask? Somewhere, somewhere,
Shrouded in boundless depths of air
Nearer than we conceive, or far
Out of the reach of sun or star,
Vital and sentient, mind, heart, will,
Waits this belle of Preneste still,
Conscious as when in the flesh below,
Nearly three thousand years ago
Waits-and for what? All, God doth knowi
