MOCK TURTLE SOUP — Soak over night 1 pint of black beans. The next day boil them in 2 quarts of water, until soft enough to rub through a colander; return them to the soup=kettle. Tie in a bit of strainer cloth (which must be perfectly clean) a bit each of thyme, parsley and summer savory; let it boil in the soup. Add 1 tablespoon of butter, cut in bits and rolled in flour; also salt and pepper to taste. Cut the yolks of hard boiled eggs in quarters and add to the soup, with one sliced lemon
