SOME WAYS WITH REANS

tits only since modern science has
come to the rescue of puzzled house
keepers, and tables of food values been
made up after long and careful chemi-
cal and other experiments, that The bean
has taken its true place. From the be-
ginning of history it has formed part
of the food supply, carried often as an
exotic by wandering and invading
tribes, and rejected often at points where
1t would have been most useful. The
English for example, chose to consider
the eating of dried beans as a French
notion not to be tolerated, and exported
their supply as food for slaves while
slavery still lasted, and even to-day, one
discovers in rural England, that the
prejudice still fingers. On the CONT
nent and indeed in many portions of
Asia and Africa they are staple, and in
the United States no less, though 10 the
South they are simply stewed, the baked
bean of New England being almost un-
known.
These is a calculation still extant made
by famous Boston divine, of the num-
Der of bushels of baked beans he had
preached TO during a pastorate OF some
thirty years, and the dish loses none If
its popularity as time goes on. IL has a
scientific basis too; its combination of
pork and little molasses, being an in
stinctive inclu zion Of precisely the ele-
ments required TO give the utmost nutri-

tain acrld quality and made them MOI o
digestible. Long cooking, which is
essential for beans in any form, reduced
the tough skins to something managea
BILE. For the hard worker they are no
objection. With those who take little
exercise they often disagree and for this
reason may better be removed for soups
or pureeS, by rubbing through a sieve.
Dried beans of all sorts, require SIM
ply a dry, cool place for their perfect
keeping. In choosing varieties for fam.
ily'use, dark ones like specified cram
berry or the turtle bean are richer in fla
vor and make the best soup or p,tree,
while the lighter ones are most delicate
for stewing. For baking, the ordiuaiy
dried bean can be used, but the prefer
ence is generally for the smallest white
cranberry bean. Dried l. mas or butter.
beans are the choicest for general table
use, the latter being favOrile bean in

A LULLABY,

To her little blue-eyed boy
Bye low baby" now her voice
Is full Of hope, and love, and joy.
bye low darling" and the baby
In his cradle falls asleep.
Guardian angels hover over,
Their loving watch to keep.
The mother looks with gladness
On the dimpled face so fair,
Hoping not one day ofsadness
There, may trace a line Of care.
All her hope, her thought, her pleasures
All her heart, her life, her love,
Conferred in that one great treasurer,
Pure as cherubim above.
See The rosy lips are parting,
On his face there comes q smile,
While the cunning dimples starting
Dance like fairies all the while.
Fen the sunshine seems - linger
Lovingly around his bed,
And its golden rays uniting, 2
Form halo Ger his head.
Suddenly, cloud arises,
Drives away those beams so bright,
And the mothers heart is broken,
An life's sunshine changed to night.
He will never know q sorrow,
For his race is almost run,
oh, how hard it is to whisper,
"Not my will, but Thine, be DONE"
Slowly now, the blue eyes open,
One sweet smile lights up his face ;
And the watcher, heavy hearted,
Feels Gods presence in the place. (
"Bye low baby" sings the mother, .
With heart so full of pain
For she knows her boy will never
Hear that lullaby again,

While her tears are falling fast.

Literary Notes.

The most remote point reached by Mr.
George KEENAN, in his Siberian trip was the
mines of Kara, 5000 from st. Petersburg
and about 1000 miles from the Pacific coast.
The narrative of his adventures and dis
coveries at these mines will begin in the
June Century and be continued through
several numbers. 1t may be said to mark
the elimination of Mr. Remnants papers.
The mines of Kara are the private property
of his majesty the czar, and are worked for
his benefit, and it is to them that the
nihilists are sent when the car is pleased
to commute death sentence to penal servi-
tude in the mines. Hence an unusual num-
Der of political prisoners are gathered at
Kara, and Mr.. KEENAN, made the best use
of his time while there to make their ac-
quaintance and obtain trustworthy informa-
ton regarding their life.
Nor long ago John Ruskin was looking
over set of American etchings in Lon
don art store, and came upon one which eX-
cited him to unbounded enthusiasm. "That
is the finest work that ever entered Lon
dom said the delighted critic. 1t was from
the needle OF Thomas Moran, whose ardent
devotion to etching in recent years has
drawn his wife IAN etcher of enviable rank
and many other artists into fondness for
etchings. A portrait of Thomas Moran at
work on an etching plate is one of the
twenty studio interiors illustrating the
article on Artists Studios of New York in
the May Cosmopolitan. Moran s etching OF
The Mountain of the Holy Cross after
his famous painting is the frontispece of
the number, and is an admirable engraving.
The May number, just published, has ten
articles and stories, all excellently illus
trated, beside poems and departments.
There are seventy illustrations, twelve of
them being full pages.
HENRY JAMES, in an article upon Our
Artists in Europe, which will be published
with portraits, in Hdrper'S Magazine for
June, declares: " If the centuries are ever
arraigned at some bar of justice to an
swer in regard to what they have given of
good or of bad, to humanity, our interesting
age (Which certainly is not open to the
charge of having stood with its hands in its
pockets) might perhaps do worse than put
forth the plea, Dear me! l have given il
fresh interest in black and white.'" He
reviews the work of a number of men who
have had much to do, especially by maya
zine illustra ion, with creating that " fresh
interest the work of f. ID. Millet, Ed.
win A. Abbey, Alfred Parsons, George II
Boughton, George Du Maurier and G. S
Reinhart. George William Curtis will pre-
sent one of Motley's letters, which was not
included in the recently-published Core
spondence. 1t is addressed to young lit
erary aspirant of twenty-five years ago
who allows it to be published, but withholds
his name. The writing of history forms the
subject of the letter. Professor George
Howard Darwin of Cambridge England
who will contribute an illustrated paper
upon Saturn's Rings, is the second son Of
the late Charles Darwin, and has become
noted through his mathematical and phys
cal Investigations connected with the study
OF astronomy.
