CURRANT AND GOOSEBERRY
DIE

Currants and gooseberries are the
best for pies when Of full growth, Just
before they begin to turn; they are
tolerably good when ripe. Currants,
mixed with ripe raspberries or mulber-
ries, make very nice pies. Green cur
rants and gooseberries for pies are not
sweet enough, without the sugar Is
scalded in before they are baked, as the
juice Of the currants Is apt to run out
while they are baking and leave the
fruit dry. Stew them on moderate
fire, with a teacup of water to a couple
quarts Of currants; as soon as they be-
gin to break add the sugar, and let 1t
scald in a few minutes. When baked
without stewing. put to each layer of
fruit thick layer of sugar. There
should be as much as q quarter of a
pound of sugar to a pint of currants,
to make them sufficiently sweet. Green
currant pies are good, sweetened with
molasses and sugar, mixed.

Losing an Arm in Battle,

arm shot off. Capt. Creighton served

sleeve hangs empty at his side. sit

veteran answered. ut ia chiefly in the
lack of feeling that you know you have
been hit. lost my arm at Gettys-
burgh, and when the bullet hit me l
couldn't imagine at first what had hap
pened. There wasn't the slightest
pain, only slight tickling sensation,
which soon gave way to numbness. In
few minutes my arm seemed to be
an enormous weight hanging to my
shoulder, but it was not until after the
amputation had been made that suf-
fered actual pain. The after effects Of
losing an arm are not altogether pleas

but 80 far as suffering is concerned !
