“Steel where steel belongs” Superiority 
is being demonstrated day after day at tournaments large and small, in every 
section of the United States. Peters Shells are the only ones having 
steel of proper kind in the head and rim, and the only ones in which the 
correct method of construction is used. Their unequalled shooting quality 
contributed to the following victories at the traps:

Cleveland Gun Club. 
Cleveland, O., Aug. 3. —The Cleveland Gun Club 
weekly shoot held to-day at Shooting Park was known 
Freeman Day, in honor of Captain Geo. P. Freeman. 
Ihe regulars turned out in good number, and George 
was on the job. 
The next shoot, Saturday, Aug. 10, will be Rockwell 
Day. Mr. C. H. Rockwell, the club secretary, will be 
in charge of this contest and will do the thing right, 
as he is quite a boy at the game. 
Mrs. Freeman assisted the Captain in making the day 
one to be remembered. Mr. C. E. Doolittle put up 
one of his fine scores, 96 out of 100, which is going 
some for a boy. Charley can do it and is doing it a 
number of times this year. Dr. Brown was not to be 
overlooked, as he was taking his time and turned in 91 
out of 100. The scores follow:

IVORY MADE FROM MILK. 
One of the latest discoveries of the syn¬ 
thetic chemists is how to make ivory out of 
nothing more wonderful than cow’s milk—and 
very good ivory at that, according to all ac¬ 
counts. The original idea was to use the new 
“ivory”’ for piano and organ keys because it 
preserves its original color indefinitely, where¬ 
as the genuine article turns yellow after a time. 
But it has been found that the new pro¬ 
duct is not only an efficient substitute for ivory, 
but can easily be prepared so as to take the 
place of amber, horn, coral, celluloid and such 
like products, and, it is claimed, can hardly be 
distinguishel from them. 
It is in its position as a substitute for ivory 
that the new material has caused most surprise, 
however, because it has the appearance of being 
another instance of improving upon nature. 
The new ivory takes a very high and lasting 
polish, and probably will not lack a commercial 
field for itself, as natural ivory continues to 
grow scarcer and dearer year by year.—Allaha¬ 
bad Pioneer. 
MAKE HATS FROM SOAP WEED. 
Mrs. Akers, wife of a farmer in Stevens 
county, Kansas, is making hats from the tops 
of the soap weed, or yucca plant. By a pro¬ 
cess of stripping the blades of the soap weed, 
plaiting them together, she secures a braid as 
light and pliable as straw and far more dura¬ 
ble. These braids she sews together and 
moulds them into hats of different sizes and 
shapes. Mrs. Akers lias placed a number of 
these hats on sale with the local merchants 
and they have sold well. 
The soap weed, which has so long been 
considered worthless by the farmers of the 
great Southwest, is rapidly coming into promi¬ 
nence as a valuable plant. Old and New 
Mexico are shipping the soap weed tops by 
the carload to be made into rope, and when 
you consider that you can cut off the tops of 
a soap weed every year for eighteen years 
without replanting, you can get some idea of 
the value of a soap weed farm.—Hugoton 
Hermes.
