We have examined into the eff

regularly enlisted forces consist of 179
officers and men. Your committee
are of the opinion that this force is
larger than is now required, and re-
commend that the same be reduced as
rapidly as possible to a force not eX-
ceeding 126 officers and men.
Your committee are also of the
opinion that the salaries of officers
should be modified so as 10 bring them
within reasonable bounds for con-
tinued service.
Your committee are also of the
opinion that future enlistments should
be made at lower rate of wages than
now prevail, and that certain per-
quisites now allowed the men, such rs
shoes, should be discontinued.
With the reduction of the force of
enlisted men, there also should be a
thorough reorganization of the COM

THE BONY SHAD.

The cooking of a shal is not a diff
cult matter, but it is something that is
often done so carelessly that the dish is
unsatisfactory. Like all fish, the shad
must be fresh from the water. The
m~uch-vaunted superiority of our Hudson
River shad is undoubtedly due to the
fact that it is much fresher than those
from a distance. The very best way to
cook a shad is to broil it, though, pro-
vlded the fish is perfectly fresh from the
water, it makes very little difference
whether it is broiled, baked o planked.
AS soon as the fish is brought in and
scaled as it should be, remove the back
bone. This is not a difficult thing to do
If you have a keen-edged boning-knife.
Push the flesh off the bone with the
fingers, beginning the work at the head,
and keep the knife near the bone. ALL
the fine spines can be removed with the
spinal column and comparatively few
bones will remain in the fish. Do not,
however, get the fish into bad shape in
taking out the bones, for this can be
easily avoided. Season the fish on the
inside and outside with salt and pepper,
rub it with q tablespoonful OF oil and
squeeze over it a few drops of lemon
juice. It may now be brolled over a
slow fire from twelve to fifteen minutes
on the fresh side aud a minute on the
skin side. Boil the roe with New

A POT ROAST OF BEEF.

Choose a piece of lean beef; the best
cut from the round is good. Tae cross
rib is, however, preferred by many
; cooks. Cut from the edges soma bits
OF fat. or slice a piece of suet the size of
an egg. Cut this into tiny scraps and
put into an iron pot on the stove; let it
cook until it begins to smoke, then lay
the beef in it. When one side is
scorched over, turn it the other side up,
and continue to move it about until the
entire surface is we'll Drowned. Then
add, very slowly, a little water, taking
care that the fat has cooled so it will
not fly over the stove. After a moment
put in sufficient water to almost cover
the meat. The pot should have a tight
ly fitting lid, aud a weight may be
placed on this to keep Ii closed. Then
boil slowly for five or SIX hours. Ex-
anime it occasionally to see that there is
sufficient water to keep from burning:
when about half done add salt, a little
pepper, and, if the flavor is liked, half a
cup of tomato catsup or a spoonful of
Worcestershire sauce. When thoroughly
cooled, take out the meat, thicken the
gravy with -four or cornstarch; taste to
see if the seasoning is right; add a
couple of tablespoonfuls of cream and
pour it over the meat on the platter. If
properly done, a broom straw could be
passed through the entire piece without
breaking. This is one of the .bsst ways
of cooking a cheap joint of beef,-Yan.

With r which never ceases
With never time for pleasure,
With days that have no peace,
With little hands to hinder
And feeble steps to guard,
With tasks that lie unfinished
Deem not your lot too hard
l know a house where childish thfnG
Are hidden out of sight;
Where sound of little feet
Is heard from morn till night;
No tiny hands that fast undo
That pull things all awry,
No baby hurts to pity
As the quiet days go bye
The house is all in order
And free from tiresome noise.
No moments OF confusion,
No scattered, broken toys;
And the chiIdren's little garments
Are never soiled or torn,
But are laid away forever
just as they last were worn.
And she, the sad-eyed mother
What would she give to-day
To feel your cares and burdens,
TO walk your weary way!
All! happiest or all this earth,
Could she again but see
The rooms all strewn with playthings
And the children round her knee!

American Coal is Cheap Abroad.

Within the past few years American
coal has almost entirely replaced the
English fuel used on the Island of Mar
Unique, West Indies. The average con-
sumption there amounts to about 5000
tons a month, nearly all of which goes
from Philadelphia. The price delivered
is $500 per ton, against $5.38 for Eng
lish coal. Within the last year or two
quite a large trade in soft coal for West
Indian points has been built up at this
port, and it keeps on increasing at a
very satisfactory rate.-Philadelphia Re-
