The Care of the Rifle, --<>-One of the most essential points to be observed in connection with rifle shoting is that the utmost care must be taken to see that the rille is at all times kept scrupulously clean and free from damage. The following' hi-nts will enable cne to take proper care of the rifle, Th-e barrel of the modern service rifle has grooves cut spirally along the entire length of the inside, Or bore, for which reason the barrel is said to be rifled.

removed from the bore as soon as possible. By the oleaning of the bote ,is meant the complete removal of the M>ul: ing afte~ firing, and also of all dusiY'&r rust which mav accumulate when the rifle is not being used for firing. Cleaning the Bore.s+Itis 'necessary when cleaning the bore to use some soft material. which will ensure the grooves heing thoroughly cleaned, and at the same time W11l not damage tbe bore by friction. For this purpose small strips of well-oiled flannelette, about 4 inches long by 2 inches wide, should be used. Great Care should be taken in the selection of the oil to be used in cleaning the bore, A special rifle oil is prepared, and can be procured from any firm supplying rifle requisites. A metal cleaning red, encased in wood in order to prevent damage to the bore. is used by the mao jority of persons when cleaning the rifle. The following is the correct method of cleaning the bore: -\Yell oil the flannelette, wrap it carefullp round the end of the red, and work the latter I!'ently up and down the bore until the fouling is thoroughly soaked and partially reo moved. Xow substitute for the oiled flannelette a dry piece of the same mao terial, and earefully continue the werkiog up and down until what now remains of the fouling is removed. The bore being now thoroughly clean, the rife is ready for immediate use if required. If, however, the rifle is not again to be used for some time. wipe out the bore with a clean piece of slightly oiled flannelette. Before again firing, use a dry rag to reo move the oil from the bore, as it has been found that better results can be obtained when firing with a dry bore than with one that is oiled, Under no circumstances must the rifle be allowed to remain for any length of time without cleaning, for it is of the utmost importance that the bore be kept bright, and free from the least trace of rust. The wiping out of the pore with an oiled rag should be repeated daily, as this ensures the former being liept in perfect condition. The preliminary cleaning of the bore with an oiled rag, whereby the greater part of the fouling will be readily removed, can nearly always be done immediately after firing. This will be fou~d of great use. in preventing the £CulI.ng from becoming hard, and will considerably shorten the time and lessen the labour expended in the subsequet process of cleaning. The breech action, upon which the efficiency of the rifle greatly depends, must be kept scru oul. ously clean; therefore first caretullv " reo move all grit and dust with a dry' rag, and then .thoroughly clean the breech With an oiled rag.

Aiming. In order to become a good marksman, it is essential to know how to align the sights with the object or target. This is called aiming, which rnay be considered the most important point to be observed in rifle shooting. The £CHowing are a few simple, but important, rules bearing on this point: -(2) See that the sights are kept upright, (2) Close the left eye when firing from the right shoulder, or the right eye when firing from the left shoulder. (3) In taking aim, align the sights with the object by looking through the centre of the V-shaped notch of the backsight, and bringing the fore-sight into the alignment, the tip being level with the shoulders of the V. This is termed a Iull-sight. What is termed a half-sight is taken when half the Iorcsight is brought into the V, and a finesight when only the tip of the fore-sight appears in the bottom of the notch of the Y. It is advisable for begillJlers to take the full-sight always, as by so doing the same amount of Iors.sight is used eaoh time, and a quicker aim is assured than is the case when taking either the hal for fine sight. Having studied these rules, the next thing necessary is to put them into practice. The simplest method of doing this is t orest the rifle on a cusbion placed on a table or a high stool or the rifle may rest on a sand-bag placed on a tripod formed by the union of three poles, each about 41 feet in length. Thes poles can be held together near their ends by an iron ring, or may be securely fastened by means of a cord, The legs of the tripod should be spread apart sufficiently to allow of the sandbag being about the height of the shoulders of the beginner. Having balanced the rifle on the cushion or sandbag, (ld'just the back-sight to the approximate distance of the object to be aimed at. Xow carefully take aim according to the rules just mentioned. When satisfied with the result, step aside and ask the Advice of s01Ue expert friend, who, at his stage of your practice, is indispensable. Your friend should now look alon,~ the sights and see whether the aim has been taken correctlv or not. Having acquired the ability to' take the various kinds of aim, there is no further use for the tripod. Aiming should now be practised fr-om the shoulder as frequently as possible. Endeavour to get your aim as quickly as possible by aligning' the sights with Lite object at once, restraining the breathing whilst doing so, as the rise and fall of the chest in breathing is l!-pt to render the aim unsteady and Inaccurate. Accustom vourself to taking the same amount of loire.sight each time, otherwise, if actual firing were taking place, the shot would strike above or below the object, according to the kind of sight taken. For example, suppose you are firing with the service rifle at an object 500 yards away, and the first shot, fired with :a full sight, strikes that object; the next shot fired with a. half-sight, would fall a~ut 15 inches below the object. This will ernphasise the importance of always taking the same aim. Remember. when aiminz or firing, to keep the back-sight uporigh~ and never allow yourself to proceed until Y0t;' a,re perfectly, satisfied on this point. This IS a most Important matter which must always be borne in mind, for if the back-sight be inclined to the right or left, -the bullet will strike low and on the side to which the sight is inclined. If you find that you are apt to do this, get some friend to stand behind you and tell you when the sight is upright. '.\'hen practising aiming at home, st~nd before a mirror and aim at some small white ro~nd object, such as a piece of' paper, affixed to the glass. This will enable you. t? take a correct aim, as the least deviation of the back-sight from the up. right is at once noticeable.

,ADDRESS

BY :MR.

(TSACK,

~Ir, Bryan Cusack, who bad a ccrdal reception. I.,,:d it seemed like 'b.ring·:r:" silit watt"!' \0 Galway Day to come and ask the }'oun~ men of Atheurv to join the-Volumeers-e-uien who, he und'~r;;tood, h,:cl been fighuug all their lives (applause). 011 the present occasion they came to ask them to spread the fight beyond At· henry, (0 the bounds c-f all Ireland, Th-e Volunteer movement had been taken up by every class in the country, and there were runny good reasons why the rnov eomem should be 4 (ken up by the manhood of the country, and brought \I.) a successful issue. ::11[. Xicholls had 'told them that it was urgent, and .had. explained to them some of its cbjecrs, lJe would again ~!i'o"g:r point out to them those ends. In the first place, Home Rule was supposed to be at hand, b;lt:m &:ccidem might happen ~t any time, v. hich might postpone it. In that case, a It traned body of Irishmc u numbering 100.000 or more, would be the gr-ea~cSt aid to the J r',h Par:), to gain their end. Everv t I iined man \\~S all argument for Home Rule, and It hundred thousand .uen was na invincible argument (loud applause), Suppose, the-n that the English people take no notice of that argument. backed up br one hundred. thousand men, and tll!t the Liberal Pariv are thrown out of office before the pRssin.g of the Home Rule B Il, the country -would have to ieee It Government. hostile to OUT COU11try; but such a determined bcdy of men could make the Government of Ireland imposs'ble for such a. party (loud appluuse), \\'heu the Liberal Party had to bow to the dicih res of four counties, how much more would ,hey (the Tories) bow to the united protest of the remaining 23 cc-unries P (Heal', hear, and applanse.) Ther could take 'it that Home Rule would be p'aGlsed successf'ully. In that ease he would like to go back a li.tle in history, ,8 hundred veers or more. When lrela,..;'d had> her :\ational Volumeers she gained her independence and held it for twenty years. The statesmen of the time wore not as wise as they might have been, for 'independence was lost because ,(b" Volunteers were disbanded, ~.nd the n rlion had since undergoCne years of msery an:! misrule. There were social reasons also!n favour of the movement. . He would draw their ~:tention 10 tl~e fam· ines th:\! had ooen inll:cted on theil' ooun· try-he said infiicted I.~.:i\·isedly, bec~llse Ireland. was able to !}rcdJ.:ce more than sufficient food to meet 1he needs of the peoplE', and yet the people s.l!n'ed. The old m"n amongst them .. ·might remem'ber the dar~ years of '45; '46 and '47, when the peop!e w~re flee"n.g from the land. Eng!and could play the s;me gl\me in the next 100 years if they were not armed and trained lo resist su.ch u move, She could d'l:populate the country by 3. Iurther 1T.1Omillions if the people \\ ere ig. norar.t a.nd stupid enough to perm:.t it. That was a re,'lson why they :should join the \'olun:eers; but ihere weB yet an· other. and it w'as tbat ua;njng in itself is an invaluaule thin.g. A trained man knows hnw to use his f.;)rce. In Aillenry the~e had .:llways hee-n a fighting spirit, !Jut in ..he l'ank;; of the YolunteeIs they would be able to exercise that spir:t in its noblest ~nd best fonn in the service of 'Ireland (lOud applau-:re), Col. 7Iloore, in ~ lett!;r writ ~n to the l!Ialway meet· :ng, lk'1.d said lhat a (;erm.ll) i.n the event of an im'asion by th3t country, con Id rc&.ch .\thlone from (~al\\'a" inside 48 hours, That .was quit-e possihle, Qut "cry impr;bab!e if facing that Germ-1n arm, Ihen' was a tra'ned bod\' of soldliels.

Every s7ld'er would 'be withdrawn from Ireland. Enl!,Jar.d w-cu~d lcok after he.rself first, ll.nd justly,;o.

Tbe argumelli that the nse of arm. is un· lawful \;'onld be laughed to ~corn in iCth~r countl'i¤\S, 'J'h:!l day had gone. The day h~d come when it \V>lS recognised as he ri~ht of eve.y freeman to llse arms. The French Re,'olution had p:(oved that or..e man was as good 2Is another.

The simplest and quickest method of learning the semaphore alphabet is to 'master one circle at a time. There are seven circles as follows:1st Circle-A to G. 2nd Circle-II to X. omitting J. :Jrd Circle-e-O to S. 4th Circlt--T, F, Y, and "Annul" or ~·l'=:rase." 3th Circle-"Xl1merical Sign," J (or "Alphabetical Sign") and V. Gth Circle-W and X. 7th Cirde-Z. .;\ to C is made with toe right arm, D may he made with either arm, E to G is made with the left arm cnly. The ann not engaged must be kept well ill front of body, as shown jn illustration. To form II, place the right arm in the position of A, .and bringing the left across the body,D' turning well on ihe hips to the position of B. Throughout the 2ltd circle the right ann is kept stationary at A, whilst the left moves in the same direction as the hands of a clock through successive angles of 45 degrees, till it reaches its final position at 0. In the 3rd circle the right arm is kept in the positon of D, and the left,
