Supposing they are to be baked during Saturday night, put them in water to soak in the morning, and set the pan in a warm corner. At night drain away the water that remains, put the beans in the jar, also the molasses, salt and piece of pork and j)Our in fresh water enough to be about an inch above the beans. Put on the lid or a little plate and set the jar in the oven. It is a mistake to get up a great fire and keep the beans furiously boiling as some do, that try it for the first time; they have not the taste of baked beans when done; but keep a slow and steady fire and let the jar remain in the oven 8 or lo hours. They should come out brown on top, yet not quite without water at bottom. 567— Canned Tomatoes as a table. Vege- Let the tomatoes stew down to dry out the surplus juice if possible, instead of adding bread crumbs to thicken them. Canned tomatoes are vastly improved (in the way of being solid packed) over what they were a few years ago, when they were generally colorless and watery. While they are stewing add saltand pepper and a small piece of butter if afforded. If bread crumbs are added mince them, very fine first, or better still, do as they do at Black's, for their go-boarders; put the cold rolls in a pan of cold water and after a few minutes drain the water off and squeeze the bread dry. This soaked and squeezed bread is called panada. It is used for chicken stuffing as well as to thicken tomatoes., "When we're rich we ride in chaises, When we're poor we walk (or work) like blazes !" — Hudibras (or some other fellow.) The deuce take this disappointing summer resort business. Here is a week gone and nobody has come yet. Proprietor evidently disappointed; feels like one forsaken ; has gone_ and got a saw and hatchet and '^ tearing up and repairing the dilapidatea cellar steps with his nearly new fifty-dollar summer resort suit on. That's a great way to save expenses. I feel sorry for his suit but not so sorry for him as I should be for a poor man who might have spent everything getting ready for a resort business that never comes after all. One week is nothing if one only knew what is to come. If one week goes by and brings nobody why may not the next and the next? There may be a host of summer tourists on the way who will fill all the rooms and ask for cots and tents, and beds even on the roof of the house, for all we know, but suppose a rainy spell or a cold spell intervene and they never get here. And they say that at this time last year there were over forty people visiting_ here. When a man who has been keeping open house for years, at last provides himself with a real hotel register with $2.00 per day printed on the top of every page, it does seem as though _ by that act he had alienated every friend he had in the world. That's whai makes the proprietor tired. He is tired of playing the lone fisherman ; tired of sitting on the piazza seeing the 'bus come back and waiting my darling summer boarder for thee ; tired of hearing his hired girls sing the beautiful river; tired of seeing his boat boy in the big sailor hat idly sitting on his lone rock by the sea; tired of thinking that somebody's coming when the dew drops fall; tired of resting and gone to work. • 568— How to Scrub tha^ Kitchen.
