as If it was some treasured heirloom.
He rendered it gingerly, tiptoeing to

The card was not illuminating.

sorrowful information remarked:

I understood that the House with
three names were doll makers ex-

representative.
"See you, even royalty came to

DEPLOYNG THE COMPANY IN
LINE.

The base. squad, as we have seen,
deploys as soon as it has a suff1-
cient interval, and the other squads of
the company are deployed as soon as
they reach the general line, but if tao
teal considerations demand it, squads
may be deployed before reaching the
line. Otherwise, each corporal when
he reaches the line gives the COM
mand or signals with his arm, "As
skirmishers." His squad thereupon de-
ploys and halts abreast Of him.
An orderly progress of the whole
line is of first Importance, and for this
reason the deployed squads preserve
general alignment toward the guide.
Nevertheless, the different squads,
within their respective fronts advance
according to how best they may pro-
gress, owing to peculiarities Of the
ground, or the possibilities of cover.
On hating, the men in all cases face
to the front, which Tin combat or ex-
tended order) Is always the direction
of the enemy. Even when a squad
marches to the rear, it faces to the
the halt, also, the men must take adj
vantage of cover-by lying down il no
more complete cover is available.
Being in line, to form skirmish line
to the front, the command is as fol-
lows: GAS skirmishers, guide right
Cleft or center), MARCH" If march
ing, the corporal of the base squad de-
ploys it and moves straight to the
front. When his squad has advanced
to the point on which the captain de-
sires to form the skirmish line, the cap
tain commands, Company, HALT"
The squad then halts and the other
squads halt on the same line.
If the guide is right Qeft), the other
corporals move to the left (right)
front and in succession from the base
place their squads on the line. II the

must advance to the left front; If the
guide is left, then to the right front. If
the guide be center, the other corpO.
rails move to the right or left front, ac-
cording as they are on the right or left
of the center squad, and in succession
from the center squad place their
squads on the line.
If at a halt, the base squad is de-
ployed without advancing. The other
squads are then conducted to their
proper places by the flank. Interior
squads may be moved when squads
more distant from the base have
gained comfortable marching distance.
That is to say, while the squads deploy
in succession, according as they are
near the base, it is necessary first for
the other squads to clear a front for
them by marching off on the flank.
At this point it may be explained
that, as in the close-order drill, atten-
ton has so far been confined to the
company and the squad, without refer
ence to the platoon. This has been
to avoid confusion. AS general prin-
ciple, however, 1t may be said that the
rules for the deployment of platoon
are the same as those for the company.
Yet by this time the new soldier will
have comprehended the Importance of
the platoon in that 1t combines both
the functions of the squad and the
COMPANY.

An AGED Gander.

The birds that live to a great age
are comparatively few. Gulls have
been known to reach forty years, par
rots frequently live eighty years, and
swans nearly as long. Ravens and owls
usually die somewhat younger, but
there is good reason to believe that
eagles and falcons sometimes live more
than one hundred years. OF barnyard
fowls, ducks and geese live longest.
Mr. D. MacLachlan of Islay, Scotland,
writes to the Field that he has gan

forty-five years it belonged to the pro-

and seems as active as 1t ever did.
