Boston Baked Beans.

Select the small, white, dry beans. Take one pint of them and -soak over night In the morning drain them off, add fresh water, and let It “erne to a boil. Then drain them oat and pat into the pot for baking. This, too, should be deep ia-flhape. Mix in a cup a teaspoonful of yellow mustard, half as much baking soda, and two or three tablespoonsful of molasses. Stir this well into the beans. Have one third, pound nice salt pork—the sort with “a streak of lean and a streak of fat”— score the rind across both ways with a sharp knife and press this down on top of the rest. Add water to cover and bake four hours. From time to time add sufficient water to keep moist and soft The beans should not break up and should be of an enticing brow/* color. —Housekeepers’ Weekly.
