SO the upper half is seen above the
embankment in front. Three or four
men are with each target and as soon
as the sound of the bullet above them
is heard they look carefully over the
surface of the paper to locate the hole

times it is necessary to partially lower
the frame to see where the cloth had
been pierced. When the position of
the hole is seen, the proper marker
is placed against the hole and tine

Fashions in Butter Mo1ds

the contemplation of butter, >" says a
Washington market dealer, notice that
the styles Of molds change from season
to season. Not only do the shapes run
the gantlet from round to square, from
square to ablong, and back again, but
the printing is also subject to the whims
and caprices of fashion. The flowers of
the field and the fruits of the orchard
in turn serve as models. Just at pres
ent the favorite imprint is the chrysan-
themum. Not only the big two and
three-pound rolls for sale in the market
are thus decorated, but the tiny pats
served in the dairy restaurants are like
wise ornamented with diminutive fall
tower. Later on the acorn will probably
take it's place for q month or two"
