On going into camp the occupants of each tent should see that their tent is securely and pro- perly erected. The [lolu nhould be per- fectly perpendicular, the tent-pegs driven ill tlte giTwiid at a proper angle and distance to withstand the strain ns well as a limit of thu tiithtciiing of the ropes. In the day time the curtain should be rolled up and tied for thu ciiculation of frf»h ail through the tent. At night,the ropes should bu sli^ihtly slackened to allow fur the con'.riictiun of the ropes by dew. This preivuiitN the drawing of the pegs and fagging^ of the tent. As beds ttnd liudRtcads aie out of the question whun under call vaKH, the soldier Kencral- ly wrnpB liiniHflf in his lilaiikel, throws Ills gruut coat over him, makes his knap- sack a pilluw, which is made more com- fortable by neatly folding his tunic inside our, turning the colliir in and tying the folds together by two shoit pieces of tapo Kuwed to thu lining of the tunic. Ah tliu same f.iciliticH are nut atfurded under can- vas as in barracks, great care should be taken in stowing awuy anna and accou tremunts. (lacli man's rifle should be lirmly atrapped or tied in a perpendicular poHitiofl to the tent |ii4e, the butt restinx on the ground, thelockside in. Twelve or fourteen rifleji may in this manner be compactly secured amund the pole. The muzzle stopper should always be kept in the rido when not in uhi>, and a slight rub with an oil rai; applied to the ritle and b.iyonet to prevent rust. After each parade tbe soldier should aue to the clean iiig of his aecutreinunts before puttii.g them away a alight tonch each times iiu mediately after u-iing (avra u great dual of trouble when they are required, and if he will keep bis accoutrements coverad with a cloth when not in tis«, ho will tiiid it to be of great advantage. When pre- |tarini{ for lieavy marching order {larade, or GeLcral's instructions, the old soldiers sliould instruct the renruita in neatly foldii.g the gieat coat to lit the knapsack, their belts should be well pipeclayed, the olges being as while as (he face ; all brasn and steel portiotwof the accoutrtmenis should be shining l>right and free from rust or verdigris ; the boots, loo, should he in harmony with the accoutrements or the whole effect is spoiled. When dressing for pantde a good soldier is a. particular as a huly dressiug foi a ball ; ho at ranges his belt to tit properly to his body, he gets his comrade to settle ammunition [nurh in a proper position, securing it there with his waist bolt ; his kiiMpi-aek rtrapiHJd wpiaiu aiHl tiriuiy to nil l.aek ; if li \t Imme and dabby, he is tiiuii lieiuru Iiu has cairicd it an hour ; if It IS put on properly he can cany it all d.ty wiih<mt f.iii.uu Lastly, he u,n» hir Comrade to give his trapidii^a a slight buHliiiig with a hnnderchiw ur soft clidk, ana he im ihun bt {t>r parade. A clean H. Ittierly apiieHrniMCe attracts the rje ot the iiisi>uctnf.> otUeer and gaiiut credit for regiment or company he inspects. TARr.KT PKivTicEâ€" The following re niari^h are chiefly applicable t'>,soUlitfrN in tunu -A peace, but, to make a soldier uiote ethuent fev active set vice it is of vual iiiiport4inc« that l.« should I a e a tliorou(h knowledge of thu con- alruct.ou ot hiit rifle, huw to take care of it, attd at>ove all liow to uxe it in ncti>u aci\ u«, IhtM kiiowludgu is only attained uy a close attention to the rules taught uy the regimental instiuutor ol munlietry and target piactice. Would apace put mil 1 could wiilu to a iiiueli urvalet leiig'h but 1 shall u<iiiKnu myself to a few bii>.t run.arka, hIiowiij;,' how ho many bullulM do nut hit the mark, the lauli guiiei ally being act ri bated lu the rillr, mIicii in rcid ty ihe auleclgen>trally ixiHix 111 the Nuldier. A greater atuuracy in ahooliiig will be obtu.ned if the following siniplu iuUh uio strivily ubservud : till striving at tbe iMiigua the soldier Hhould urst iilNiui \ e llic direction of the wind, li the wind la Ulu.iin^ down tbe ran^^u, ur from the target to tbe tiring point, Ihu aim shouid bu a little bigh,aba vicu tuna ; if blowing across the ringe from thu light, aim Ui thu right and vice veiaa. 'I'lie judguiiiunt slioul 1 be used in all cn&us as regards the velocity i f thu wind. The stioiiKer the wind blows the greater must bu iliu deviation from the true aim. Ubaurve the eil'uct of thu tirst allot and regulate your aim for the follow ing ahuts aoc irdiii^'ly. Bufore taking anil the butt of the nil* thould be placed III the lioliuw of the right shoulder and pnasud there liriuly with tlie left hand, wliioli skuuld grasp thu ritlu imuie<liatuiy buliiod ihu lonur ijand ; the elbow should bu well uiidur tliu ridu to torm a .iu|iport; "fod^riKbt eltxiw should bo raised nearly H(iu)>re and a little to the front, ao a* lo (i„,n\a boll tor the butt. The thumb ot the rig'it hand ahouhl rest un tbe breech nail, the forefinger extended along and outside the trigger guard, tbe remaining lingera bghtl.' graaping the small of the butt close buh iid the trigger guard ; the Uxly should be nearly d<|uare to thu fMnt, the head inclined forward, (not crosswise on the t utt) the left eye ulusaed, the light eye lirmly liied on tlia object tbroiigh the buttuui of the notch of the bacli-s:gbt : the muzale of the rifle shouM be du(Tu«aed a little below tbe bulls-eye, lu takiR j aiia Uiaart iti« (urtftnger v( Uia right hand around the trigger like a hook, that part between the first and second joints resting lightly on the trigger, and restrain the breathing, at the same time steadily raising the muzzle until the tip of the foresight is brought in line with the object through the bottom of the notch of the back-sight ; then without altering the position ot the head, liody, hand, or eye, deliver your tire by a steady preasltre (not pull) of the fore- tiuyer of the right hand, still keeping yoor eye lirmly Oxe4 on the object for a moment after delirerifig your ffre. Care should be taken to keep the sights per- fectly upright, wbich.if inclined to either right or left the bullet will fall short and to the right or left as the case may bo. If the above rules are strictly attendeil to a great improvement in thu shooting will be the result, and many rounds of amniunition which are otherwiae wasted, will add to the credit of tliecompany. Itia a well known fact that by far the greater number of ballets tliut mi.in the target go flyini; ofT ^l the rich*. The re.iwm is, the soldier in his anxiety lo strike the bulls-eye, forsjets the rule, gives the trig- ger a jerk (very ofron with the forepart of the tiiignr) this daws the muzzle to the right of the true aim and away goes the bullet in the same drroclfon |XK<t the tar- get. Tlic Soldier Waiiics the rifle, declar- ing that he took fair aim at the baiU-eye, but nuver dreaniH that he jurked the trigger. Sonii^'linis a bulli-t l'ous straiirht for the tari^et but ricbouhebi or strikes the ground half wiy butwoen the niun and the target. The aim may have been correct enough, but the solili.-r had not propof conlidi'iice in t<u rifle, he is afraid it is going to sive him a kick ; as soon as the bulls eye is covoreil, bang eues the rifle, down bobs his head with b'jth eyes shut and he feels surprised when he is told that his bullet was plow- ing the ground perhaps not more llmii fifty yards hi front of htm ; he blames the ritle, as umial When acting io the capacity of sergeant instructor of musketry, I have often bn-ken men of this habit by simply taking; the rifle fmm them as they were aliout to pull the trigger, pretending th.tt I had noticed Bomething wrong with the rifle, and while pretending to rxamioe it, I would ua- otjservrd/ lowsr the hammer to half cock, ba'id him iKick his rifle telling him â- ( was all right, hu again takes aim, gives a jerk and a bob, but there is no "bang" this time, he tinda out I have p!ayed a trick on him. I point nut his urror and caution him against re|ieating it and in a short time hu is eSuctively cured. Again a bullet sometimes goes whizzing fifty feet above the target ; tbe man that fired that ahot, iusteaa of taking a firm grip of the ril]e with his luft hand, and pressing it firmly into the hollow of the right shoulder, handles it carelessly, or perhaps allows it to simply rest on the palia of his hand ; he fire*, up goes thu muzzle and away goes the bullet like asky-rucket; the rifle glvea that man a kick and ho is fortunate if (he kick is not aceuinpanied by a black erye. Never press tbe trigger while the mazxle is wsTering. if you can- not at first atrady your rifle bring it down to your side for a moment or two, then take a freth aim, delivering your fire tbe iniMuent the olijuct ia covered ; the longer the delay the greater the clusuce oF iniHsiiig your mark. I sliouM consider these few remarks uttor'y woithlusi were I to omit saying a fcW wikIinou what 1 nlwajR considered to bu thu iiit»t im- (Kir'aiit siibjt-ci in rifle iivlructiow, viz., judging di^isnctt. ! iMtMider tike man who can advano- sud retire in frrnit of a aitiule tnr^^et, Imlt, jiid.'u the distance and stiikesome pnrt of tliu target tvery time he fircK, t<i !>• .1 be t-T marksuiaii than hu who sirikoi* thu bulls- eyu or centre with every allot when ftitd froni a muiiS ured dirtaiicf, but llliH^es eY>.ry other allot at unknown dist.tnueH In the British army a ninii t-'eta uo crudit or oxtr> |wy .na a uiarktiitau oiiKns l.« lias obtaiu'd the N|>ecitied number of |H>ints ill jiid;;iMi,' dintiiiKc.
