The Waimate Eifle Volunteers, under Major Kewall, went through the independent and volley firing exercise at the Waimate butts yesterday morning. Thirty-three members were present, and the average made was 29.35. Parade was held at the barracks in the evening.

At a recent volunteer gathering in England Lord Wolsley said that with regard to shooting, what was required was that the bulk of men of a corps should shoot well; that there should be a high average of shooting rather than a small number of men who could hit a bull’s eye at great distances. It was the greatest possible delusion to imagine that shooting at these long distances, and being able to hit a bulls eye at 800yds or 1000yds, was a very wonderful military feat. It was interesting from a shooting point of view, but it was no great feat from a military point of view. Military efficiency lay in having a large proportion of average shots in a regiment. Alluding to the new drill which had just been published, his Lordship said he would beg all the students of war, whether volunteer or regular, to take not so much the actual letter of the book as the spirit which pervades the whole work from beginning to end. There was a very great difference between the ordinary drill which took place in the barrack yard and the manoeuvres required on the day of battle. What was required was that they should keep their faces fixed very steadily on the enemy, and go straight for him. All those wonderful formations which they had hitherto been in the habit of practising were absolutely as useless for war purposes as if the men were to be taught to shoot with the crossbow.

TiA JIERT’S Work on “The Physioogy of Marriage” describes how the powers of manhood are lost or suspended, how they can be reInvigorated and maintained until an advanced period of life, and is intended to enlighten thousands on vitally-important subjects, in regard to whieli they are entirely ignorant. It also contains many valuable hints and instructions (derived from a long and successful practice) for the treatment of the various disorders arising from hot climates, sedentary habits, or the errors and indiscretions of early life. Where a secret infirmity exists, involving not only the happiness of one life, but also that of others, reason and morality imperatively dictate tire necessity of its removal, for it is a positive fact that prematura decline of the vigour of manhood, matrimonial unhappiness, compulsory single life, local and physical debility, etc., have their source in a Great and Terrible Gauge, the germ of whioli is usually planted in early life, and the bitter fruit tasted LORO AFTERWARDS.
