THE BEST LETTER.

You may write q thousand letters to
the maiden yoI adore,
And declare in every letter that you
love her more and more
You may praise her grace and beauty,
in a taops. nd glowing lines.
Compare her eyes Of azure with tne
brightest star that shines.
If you had the pen of Byron, you would
use it every day
In composing written worship to the
sweetest fer away;
But the letter far moro welcome to an
older gentler breast
Is the Letter TO yOr mother from the
hoy sho lOveS thNhrst
Youthful blood is fierce and flaming,
and when writing to your love
You will rave about your passion swear.
ing by the stars above;
Vowing by the moon S white splendor
that the grille you adore
Is the one you II ever cherish as no
maid was loved before,
You will pen full many a promise on
those pages white and dumb
That you never can live up to IN the
married years to cone.
But a much more precious letter
bringing moro and deeper bliss
Is the letter to your mother from the
boy she cannot kiss,
She will read it very often when the
lights are soft ana low,
Sitting in the same old corner where
she held you years ago.
And regardless of its diction or III
spelling or its style,
And although its composition woul'
provoke n critics smile,
In her old and trembling fingers it be
comes work OF art,
Stained by tears of joy and sadness a
shc hugs II to hcr heart
Yes, the letter of all letters, look wher
ever you may roam
Is the letter to your mother from he
boy away from home.

BEANS AND BROWN BREAD
AppetlzIng Combination Not az Easy
to Cook az Most People Seem
to imagine.

When considering the results, the
bean and the bean pot are most i'm
portant. The bean pot must be brown
earthen, with a handle at the side
and closely fitted cover with white
glazed lining. The beans must be
pea beans. To quart allow pound
of salt pork, solid chunk. lean and
fat about equally divided. Soak the
beans over night in the bean pot.
In the morning set them on the
range and let the water just come
to a boil, but do not let them cook
at all after that. Drain of the water
and take out about a cupful OF the
beans. Pour boiling water over the
pork and score the rind with sharp
knife. Put 1t into the center Of the
bean pot and dispose the beans you
took out around 1t. On the rind place
q half q teaspoonful of bicarbonate
of soda and three tablespoonfuls OF
molasses.
Fill up the pot with boiling water,
cover closely and cook In very slow
oven all day, filling up with boiling
water from time to time. II you use
q gas oven have the rear burner lit
and turned down to the lowest point
Of ignition and the door Of the lower
oven open.
There are many recipes for the
so-called Boston brown bread. Some
call for rye meal and some for -four
to be used in combination with the
cornmeal. The following Is the recipe
which the writer's family has used for
years, almost in sight Of Bunker Hill,
30 it deserves the name: One cupful
of cornmeal, one cupful Of graham
-four, one cupful Of white flour, three
fourths teaspoonful of soda, one tea
spoonful of salt, three-fourths cupful
of molasses and one and three-fourths
cupfuls of sweet milk. Mix the dry in
gradients, add the milk and molasses,
mix well and put in buttered molds.
Fill the molds about two-thirds full,
leaving space for the bread to rise.
Steam until the bread is done and then
set in a hot oven to brown. To cut
hot brown bread, draw clean, strong,
white thread sharply and firmly across
the loaf, pushing it down equally on
either side The result will be clean,
smooth slices, free from the sticki-
ness that comes from knife cutting
