THE 



PIPER STEM PI. 



Just the Thing for Home 

 and Gamp Use. 



Supplies a want which smokers have long felt— a 

 pipe whicu shall give simply the taste and odor of to- 

 bacco smoke. This pipe never accumulates rank 

 smelling liquid in stem or bowl, but is always clean 

 and sweet. The bowl and mouthpiece are permanent, 

 but the stem is of porous paper, to be laid aside after 

 a few days' use and a new one fitted. Extra stems 

 accompany each pipe. The price of extra steins, 

 when not furnished with the pipe, is as follows: Four 

 and a half and seven inches, 5c; twelve inches, 15c. 

 Sold by pipe and cigar dealers generally, or a complete 

 sample sent by mail for $1 by

Out of a class of 68 guns, 3 out of the 6 best were 

 made by Pape. The Greener, gun was protested 

 against on the spot for having its score false counted, 

 the facr, proven there, and afterwards confirmed by 

 same gun being shot for two days per week for six 

 weeks in succession, when its average score only took 

 24th place, its very best score being greatly below the 

 scores of the best six guns.

 of the Field to possess the GREATEST PENE-

 Circle, 30 inches; 300 pellets; average, 191; penetra- 

 tion, 37. The Editor's trial of Greener guns with 340 

 pellets of same shot and same charge of powder, gave 

 180, and penetration 30, although there were 40 more pel- 

 lets in each charge. Should any controversy arise aa 

 to the durability of these new systems, we herewith 

 warn all beforehand that our system is our own inven- 

 tion (though founded on the American idea) and is DU-
