Te PAGGE TEN BELOVED IN IRELAND A Ey WON A PLACE IN THE BEARTS OF ERIN, ~ Former Canadidn Governor-General "Who Still Owns a Ranch In Can ada and Is. Eeoenly Interested In the Affairs of the Dominion, Ha¢ Had & Very Successful Adminis. tration In Ireland. Since the Act of Unix came into force on January 1st, 1201, by which Ireland, like Scotland. was ruled by 8 common Parliament, the Emerald Isle has passed through many vieigsi tudes, and on the shoulders of the Successive viceroys who have ruled at Dublin has fallen the arduous task of conciliating the proud Irish spirit, rémoving much bitter feeling, and fostering that fraternity which exists between the two countries to-day. And if a plebiscite were taken, there + I8 no doubt that the name of Earl! of Aberdeen, former governor-gener- al of Canada, who will resign his positior in February, would figure as the most popyjar representative of the sovereign who has occupied the castle at Dublid. "His Ex." he js commoniy re- ferred to, first gained the good-will of the Irish pe@ple by the sympathe- tie and enthus entered into their interests when 'he first became Lord Lieutenant in 1886. This was when he was ap- pointed by Mr. Gladstone, and when 'six months later the statesman was driven from office Lord Aberdeen paid a visit to Australia, and recefv- ed an enthusiastic reception from the Irish residents in Melbourne, Syd- 'ney, and other big cities: It was while in Melbourne that an incident characteristic of his lord- ship occurred. He was present at a concert at which Mme. Melba was the principal artiste, and his lord- ship, finding that the National An- them was omitted from the pregram, and that at the close of the coneert the audience were preparing to de- part without that expression of loy- alty being given effect to, jumped to his feet and in his clear voice com- menced singing the first line of "God -Save the Queen." The effect was elpetrical. The audience bounded to their feet with uncovered heads and swelled the chorus, clearly showing that the omission was hot of their choosing. In Canada, whéré he was Gover- nor-General from 1893 'to 1898, the 'Earl.of Aberdeen is as popular as he is in Ireland or Australia. Indeed, the Capadians almost count him as one of themselves, He acquired a {fine ranch, of which he is still owner, wind his position in that respect has mere than once been responsible for the suggestion that he should be lected to the Parliament of the minion. Lord Aberdeen has, however, on more than one occasion confessed that his love lies in Ireland, where {he finds full occupation for his ener- gles. And not a little of his popu- larity in the Emerald Isle is due to the fact that he enters fully into the Pleasures and pursuits of the Irish people. For fee, he dearly loves a dance, and although, as befits a viceroy, he only joins in quadrillés at the state balls given in Dublin, he foots it right merrily at the small informal dances. Indeed, in an age when young men are too hlase to dance, it is a pleasure to wateh Lord Aberdeen Joining in a polka with the gest of « schoolboy. On one occasion an attractive tune was played by the band, and Lord Aberdeen with a youthful partner commenced with the first bars and 'mever paused until the end, when to "the surprise of the guests he called out "Go on!" to the -musiclans, and without a moment's rest danced the entire encore through from start to Lord Aberdeen is a man of many hobbies and accomplishments. He 1s a skilled landscape gardener, quite an expert engine-driver--as a boy he k delight in traveling on the en- es of the local railway, often act- jog as fireman--and plays a good "Wound of poll. He "is thoroughly jamocratie, and is idolized by his in consequence. Two of his mons, the "late Hon, Archibald Gor- don and the Hon.

HARDINGE PILOT A HERO. Suffered Terribly From Wound But Stuck to Post. Cairg, Feb. 16.--A striking little story of quiet heroism displayed dur- ing the battle against the Turkish invaders the other day is being told here. The hero of the incident is a pilot named Carew, who was on board the warship Hardinge, one of the vessels engaged on the canal helping to repel the Ottoman attack. The ship came under the heaviest { fire, and Carew was severely wound- ed in the arm and ieg. He would not, however, leave his post, although suffering terribly. "Bring me a chair and prop me up," he said to one of the crew. "1 will see you through." The gallant pilot is now in the hos pital, where it was found necessary to amputate his leg. Happily, he is making good progress and his re- covery is assured. Treason Of the Real Traitors. Toronto Glebe. More despicable, and much more dangerous than .the "alien enemy' who slips past the police and crosses the bomler into the United States is the Real Traitor who hangs out tne flag and sings "God Sve the, King' in a loud voice, but whose mills tura out light-weight cloth, or whose fae- tories produce shoddy shoes, or whose, exvess profits on government orders are taken from the war-taxes paid by the common people, whose | daily bread thé war has imperilled. That type of traitor waxed fat in | Britain during the _ South African war. This time he is given short shrift. But in Canada hig ilk is saia, | by those high in' authority in gov- ernment circles, to thrive mightily. Members of parliament will mani- fest real patriotism.

Taxing British lmporis. Ottawa Citizen' (Ind. Conservative). Nothing would seem more to con- demn the played-out policy of tariif taxation than such a desperate ex- pedient as to increase the tax on British imports. Britain is fighting for national life and the contnued existence of the empire. British trade is to be the final and decisive source of revenue to carry the war to a successful conclusion. But for the maintenance intact of = British 'overseas trade Canada at the present moment might be bankrupt, and without the funds to buy a pair of boots for one soldier. Canada's share in the war is being paid for entirely by British Joans.

What Makes British Marksmen the | Best In the War. War is a sport, and to fit ourselves to take part in it we must train our- seives as sportsmen. A quick eye, & clear brain, and hands to act at once are essential for a modern soldier to an extent undreamt of in the days be- fore the South African war. Correct action must be instinctive and habit- ull, and as a 'sportsman can never pick up a shot-gur without instinec- tively iookitig round for an object and by habit at once aligning his gun upon 'it, so must a soldier be trained never to take up his rifie without selecting a target, no matter what, and never to bring it to his shoulder without endeavoring to align it on the target he has chosen. Ther in this manner the habit will become 80 strong in the course of a few weeks' constant training that un- der all eircumstances his hand and eye'will work together and automati- egy { whenevef he fires, the rifle will be aiming in the direction of the target even when the brain is numb- ed and no longer consciously working There can be no doubt that the good shooting of the British troops is largely due to the fact that correct handling of the rifle, as a shooting weapon, has become second nature to them, and that, given a garget, the rifle will at all times be aimed ia its direction and be fired in a correct position. A good big-game shot and a good military shot are one and the same in so far as quickness of hand, eye, brain, and ear are concerned, and all that is needed for the former to equal the latter for military purposes is for him to learn to shoot collec- tively under the orders .of a com- mander and never to. question the order he receives. Another most Im- portant factor in our good shooting is the fact that all elementary mus- ketry training has been standardized so clearly and shortly that officers and men know perfectly well what to insist on and what is expected. Many of these standards admit of the ele- ment of competition te enter into them, and consequently the old time drudgery of drill is almost entirely lacking from modern muskgiry me- thods. To quote a few of these standards: 1. Ability to adjust the back sight to any distance ordered in 3 seconds; territorial force, 5 seconds. 2. Ability to fire an accurately aimed snap shot in 4 seconds. 3. Ability to load and fire ten well- aimed Bhots in 1 minute. 4. Ability to load and unload, without firing, thirty eartridges in 1 This should be carried out in the prome position, and cartridges should be in the pouches. 6. Ability on 25 yards miniature range to place five shots in a cirele 1 inch diameter -- marksmdn; 2 inches diameter -- first-class shot; 3 inches diameter--second-class shot. 6. Similar to above, but with ser- vice rifle, at. 100 yards, 4 inches dia- meter--marksman; 8 inches diameter first-class shot; 12 inches diameter equals second-class shot. 7. Ability to recognize within 30 seconds any object in the landscape, it clearly, described, and to judge its distance. 8. Ability to so clearly describe' any object in the landscape that 80 per cent. of a squad will recognize it. (For leadérs only.) In addition to those quoted above, a man must be able to see and report quickly on any targets, ete., on cer- tain areas of ground. He must also be able to take up a position on any ground or behind any cover so as to obtain the maximum of fire effect and | the minimum of exposure. A sol- dier's watch-word should be, "Watch ur front and keep your 0 charged," and all men should be taught to look upon every target as a potential ememy. It is then, by constant insistence on correct - tions; quick action, and correct use rained to handle. their Files be | recognize quickly the best thrget and the best way of engaging it. : Toole's Joke.
