BOSTON BAKED BEANS.
How New England Housewives Pre-
pare Their Most Famous Dish.

How New England Housewives Pre-
pare Their Most Famous Dish.
OF baked beans, the genuine New
England kind, Sallie Joy White writes
at considerable length in Woman's
Home Companion. This is the way she
says the famous dish should be pre-
pared:
"The best bean to use is the pea
bean, which is the smallest white bean
that is grown. A quart of beans should
be carefully picked over the night be-
fore they are to be used, and all the
specked ones removed. Ii the beans
are over a year old they may be soaked
over night in cold water, the water
being turned off in the early morning
and renewed with fresh water. Ii the
beans are not a year old they need
not be soaked over night, as they would
grow too soIL and would break and
become mushy when cooked, a result
that is to be sedulously avoided. In
the morning put them over the fire in
cold water, and parboil them very
slightly. Allow the water to come just
to a boil, then take them off, drain
them through a colander, and pour
cold water over them, rinsing them
thoroughly This not only rinses all
the water from them in which they
have been boiled, but gives them an
additional firmness, which tends TO
prevent their breaking while in the
process of further cooking. Further
more, the beans will have a much more
delicate flavor, and will be less likely
10 disagree with a person who has a
delicate stomach or a tendency to dys-
pepsia.
Lay a thin slice of fat salt pork
on the bottom of the bean-pot, and on
this small onion; pour in the beans.
Have ready piece of salt pork weigh
ing about half pound, the rind scored
every quarter of an inch, and put it
it so that the top shall be even with
the top of the beans and the rest buried
in them If the pork is very we'll
sailed, and partially lean, very little
salt will be required-about one-third
Of o teaspoonful; but if it is fat use
one full teaspoonful. Add one salt
| spoonful of ground mustard, one heap
| ing tablespoonful of granulated sugar
or two tablespoonful of molasses-
most people prefer this 10 sugar, but
| it is a matter of taste-cover with cold
water set in moderate oven, and
bake from eight to ten hours slowly
and steadily

be the same bright, cheerful creature
she had always been. but look of
panied distress settled upon her face;
the smiles commenced to fade.
At last war was over News came
of the soldiers return. A few more
weeks and the first dark faced heroes
arrived.
In vain the lines were scanned for a
familiar face among them. Every ar
rival of soldiers found Fred and Rose
eagerly watching for a hero who came
not.
So time dragged on Nearly three
months since peace was declared and
no trace or word from Frank Burton.
Her parents feared Rose could not
stand the suspension much longer.
One day her mother said. Dear. you
might as well give up hoping for him. >
mo, mother. cannot give up-he
must come back to me-"
It was just one year since the happy
day that Frank had put that little ring
on her finger. How long ago that
happy Thanksgiving seemed!
Rose made up her mind to try to for
get her sorrow for one day
Hire mother had invited some of her
young friends to dinner, and she must
try to make every one happy on that
day at least. when our troubles are
swallowed up in the remembrance of
our many blessings
Surely Rose could be forgiven for
the little tear that fell upon the
diamond as she made ready for the
Thanksgiving celebration that evening.
At last she was ready and descended
to receive her friends
Just as she entered the room tall
figure sprang forward and a soldiers
arm held Rose in loving embrace.
ooh, Frank! Frank" was all she
could say.
Franks story was soon told. He
was stricken with the dreaded fever
and for weeks lay between life and
death. AS soon as he was able he
started for home, thinking he would
arrive as soon as letter would.
But upon his arrival at Florida he
had relapse and a flercer struggle for
life was never fought. But it was won
and Thanksgiving day found him home
at last
! So the happiness of the first Thanks
giving was totally eclipsed by the I'M
bounded Joy of the second one.

A THANKSGIVING TABLE.
Round Table of King Arthur, Symbol
of Brotherhood.

A few years ago a New England
housewife invited few friends to a
Thanksgiving dinner. Her home was
noted for it's hospitality. and her enter
tainments for their novelty and
uniQueness. So on this occasion she
wished to live up to her reputation,
and her busy brain was long at work
seeking something new" for the
pleasure of her guests. In casting
about for an idea she finally hit upon a
really clever one. and from that mo-
ment until the hour Of the dinner her
face wore the contented expression
that belongs only to the woman who
is sure of a social success. Thanks
giving day arrived, and the invited
guests were received with great cor
diality All were in high good humor,
as the dinners of their hostess were re-
nowned, but when the dining room
doors were opened even their con-
ventional control could hardly sup
press childish "oh!" as they looked
upon the scene prepared by this in
genuous woman
Sne nadnC done so mucn, either, DuC
what she had done was just right.
She had gone to the attic ard brought
from it's inmost recess the great old
fashioned round table. After polish
ing it up bit she started out to dress
it for the pleasure of her guests. It's
beautiful curved surface permitted a
much more artistic arrangement of the
dishes, decorations, etc., and allowed
the guests a greater degree of comfort
in grouping, each one being allowed to
face the other and no one being more
distinguished than the other in posi-
ton. What merry party it was!
But that was only the beginning.
The next day, as the table stood I'M
covered in the sunny room, its mistress
noticed the effect of the sunbeams re
f1ected in it's polished surface, the
curves of which held the light SO much
better than the rude angles Of the
square table, and she at once decided
to relegate the latter to the former
abode Of the round table. The fad was
born. Every woman who had attend
ed that dinner party visited her
favorite house-furnisher in search of q
round table. None were to be had. OF
course, but the demand soon created
the supply, and an eastern manu-
facturer began turning them out In

A Seasonable Mood.

Much obliged fur sunshine,
Much obliged fur rain;
One is good fur people,
Others good fur grain.
Much obliged fur plenty,
If such shall be my lot,
An if it amt I'm grateful fur
The little that I've got.
Even when it's gloomy
And the hours bring grief,
I'm welcomin' the prospeck
OF gladness and relief.
Amt no way to jar me,
Nor turn the smiles astray;
I've got myself in train
To observe ThanksgiVin' day.

Dilemma for French Clerks.

We have in England many cratic
official rules and regulations which
are capable of more than one con-

thing in France. By recent regula-

Tense for postoffice employee to read
what is written on the back of post
cards-a very excellent order. But
by another article in the same
''reglement" the postoffice employe is
also prohibited from forwarding any
post card on which is written any
thing abusive or indecent. Now what
is the postal clerk to do?-London
