EXPERIENCE IN BATrLE.-I believe,
writes veteran, no two good soldiers
will widely disagree as to their sensa-
tons during a battle. l take it to be
piece of bravado in any man to assert
that he had no fear during the progress
of 4 long and severe engagement. 4
battle is veritable hell upon earth;
not to be in serious apprehension while
it lasts is to lie either drunk, crazy or
insensible. The highest type of brate-
nv is that of the man who realizes the full
extent Of the peril, but sticks resolute.
ly to his duty. 1t was my experience,
and that of all those about me, repea-
ted dozed times, that shell firing i.
not ordinarily nearly SO demoralizing
as that of musketry. 1t is not often
that shells are thrown so that their frag-
ments scatter death and wounds, and
their loud humming overhead does not
cause that nervous tingling which fol-
lows the sharp zip of the rifle bullet.
The peculiar cutting of the air made bv
half dozen of these at once is apt to
give the soldier the idea that the whole
air is filed with them, and that be is
certain to be struck by one of them.-
All / believe, will agree as to the SEN
sation first caused by the impact of a
bullet. 1t is a stunning, numbing feel
ing. which for long time overpowers
the local pain Of the wound. In my
experience, single buckshort near the
hip knocked me Hat, and for two days
after gave me such acute pains and
such muscular disturbance from knee
to shoulder that l could not stand
erect. Soldiers have frequently been
prostrated by spent halls. A curious
effect of shell wounds is that they do
not bleed; the hot fragment sears the
torn blood vessels and stops the effu-
sion. 4 MIME ball extracted from the
human BODY presents remarkable

resistance of the flesh had turned back

BEEF TEA. AND How TO PRrPanE
IT.-First let us take that probably most
valuable Of all invalids' preparation,
viz: beef tea. The quickest and lest
metho! of preparing good beef tea is as
follows: Take pound of good lean
gravy beef. cut it up into little pieces,
pour over them n pint Of cold water
and add little salt Then take a fork
and squeeze these pieces in everv direc-
tion, in order, as mnch as possible. &.
extrac. the juices out of the meat Next
place il ALI. e.. both water ard meat
in an enameled saucepan, and put it
~ the side of the fire, not on the FIRE,
and gradually beat il taking the great
est care that IL does not boil Havin.
continued this process for an hour and
a half or two hours, during the las.
half hour keeping the tea bot with.
out eren simmering. strain the whole
off through n s;rsiner, pressing the
meat again with spoon, so as To
squeeze "a mnch as possible all the
goodness cut Of il. Then remove all
the fat This can be done by carefully
skimming il, or. il time will allow, hv
letting il get cold, when the fat will
harden on the top. Now to- nav mind
good beef tea is one of the incest things
we can take when sick. but sick PERSONS
tire of it and loathe it. Wb.n this is
the case, veryoften by aiding little
sherry and allowing it TO get cold
(when, if properly made, i, will he .
jrlly.) patients win take j, Ia thi' form

House of Commons, with some papers
