and which is altogether a notable
specimen of the sartorial art.
It is light blue in color and, says
the New York Herald, silk is the
usual material of which it is fash
toned. Over a long gown, which is
copiously ornamented with en-
broidery and miniature paintings,
falls a loose wrapper, and beneath
this is a small jacket reaching to the
waist. Around the neck is collar,
which is a distinctly European fea-
ture, but, on the other hand, above
this is headdress which is decidedly
Chinese and the latest invention of
distinguished tailor in Picking. =.
Thus, while Chinese ladies of high
rank dress in some respects like
their European sisters, they still con-
tinue to differ from them in some
very essential respects. It has been
conjectured that the reason may be
because they are determined not to
initiate them too closely, and that
this is why they are now wearing
such q picturesque headdress.

the oil from coming to the surface,
and unless one be an experienced
driller he is likely to pass the oil
stratum and not know it, as was the
case with the first gusher, which has
made Beaumont famous, and caused
it to develop into the greatest oil field
in the world. It is curious fact
that some of the drillers when near
ing the distance at which oil may be
encountered, usually 1000 feet, has

case may be-, so as to strike the oil

these metals, and to the miner there
are Indications that they exist. But,
with the oil driller, there are no IN
dications on the surface Of what ex.

only by his theories of the. forma-
ton Of the country, and he reasons
from those theories that oil should
exist there. Accordingly, he drills q

tell where oil exists by surface indi-
cations. and also to tell how deep it
lies under the surface.
,- None of these experts have, how
ever, taken advantage of. their in
sight and sunk we'll on their own
account. Their theories of the ex-
tent of the field and the depth of the
pool, or lake, are as varied as those
regarding the cause of the existence
of oil, which is no nearer solution
than it was ages ago. Some of the
local theorists hold that there are
several strata of oil bearing sands in
the Beaumont field, just as in the
Russian fields, but as the wells here
have not gone beyond the first STRAIT
UNI, or oil flow, their theories are
mere guesses. Only when these wells
have become exhausted, and sunk
deeper, can the theory be settled.
There is luck in drilling wells, as
in mining. The driller of the first
we'll here had gone 126 feet beyond
the oil stratum, and an accident to
the drill is the cause of the discovery
of oil which made his fortune. He with
drew the drill and discovered indica-
tions of oil. In explanation it may be

How Gullible Fortune Seekers Are

ers-The Rice Field. OF 49, =

Special Beaumont (Tex) letter.
u NEWLY discovered oil field, like
n mining camp, attracts three
classes ofpeople: The capital
list, the business man and the adven-
turer, or shark, who comes without
any particular object in view, but re-
lying upon his natural shrewdness to
take advantage of the many who are
seeking opportunities for investments.
Seized with the idea that fortune
awaits whoever may come, many leave
good positions for an uncertainty:
They may have no capital, but they
have vague idea that all they have to
do is to come where there is plenty of
money and things are ''lively." 1t is
this class that furnishes the dark side
to prosperous new oil field or min
ing camp. Nor does the capitalist al
ways fare we'll. He is game for the
shark and the adventurer. Even the
most experienced are sometimes de-
frauded by them. There are oil ex-
perts as we'll as mining experts, and
there il also . way of sailing" an oil
well, or rather a well where there is
supposed to be oil. Oil may be mixed
with the water in the drill, and on
these indications" "duster" may be
sold to the wise capitalist for a
'spouter." A story is told of a shark
who recently "salted" his "duster''
with cotton seed oil. The capitalist
knew nothing about the various kinds
of oil, neither did his expert, whose
knowledge was limited to few weeks
work in the fields. The buyer has since
been studying up on the difference
between cotton seed oil and crude Pc
troleum. The shark drills we'll mere
ly to sell, and resorts to tricks similar
to those of the mining fakir. One of
his tricks is to withdraw the drill, cap
the we'll and maintain a mysterious
silence, but throw out hint in certain
directions that oil has been encoun-
tered. Sometimes he sells his "duster''
on these false pretenses. There are

HOW TO CLEAN METALS.
Useful Suggestions Which Should
Find . Prominent Place in the
Household Scrap Book.

70 clean brasses quickly and eco
nomically, rub them we'll with vinegar
and salt of oxalic acid. Wash imme-
diately after the rubbing and polish
with tripoi and sweet oil. Unless the
acid is washed off the thing will
tarnish so quickly it's last estate will
be worse than it's first. Copper ket-
ties and saucepans, brass andirons,
tenders, candle-sticks and trays are
best cleaned with vinegar and salt.
Cooking vessels in constant use need
only to be we'll washed afterward.
Things for show-even pots and pans
need the oil polishing, which gives
. deep, rich yellow luster good for
six months. Oxalic acid and salt is
the thing for furniture brasses- it
touches the wood around it only i'm
proves the tone. Wipe the brasses
well with wet cloth and polish thor
oughly with oil and tripoli. Some
times powdered rotten stone does bet
ter than tripoli. Rub after using,
either with dry cleth or leather, un-
til there is no trace of oil. No matter
what sort of brass is to be cleaned it
must be freed completely from grease,
caked dirt and CRIME. Wash with
strong ammonia suds and rinse dry
before beginning with the acid and
salt.
The best treatment for wrought
steel, which has a knack of growing
gray, lusterless and Unlocking, is to
first wash it very clean with a stiff
brush and ammonia soap suds, rinse
well, dry, by heat if possible, then oil
plentifully with sweet oil and dust
thickly with powdered quicklime. Let
the lime stay on two days, then brush
1t off with a clean, very stiff
brush. Polish with softer brush and
rub with cloths until the luster comes
out. By leaving the lime on, iron and
steel may be kept from rust almost in
definitely.
Before wetting any sort of bric-a-
brac, and especially bronzes, remove
all the dust possible. The less dust
water finds about fine lines and cram
MES the less it can leave there. After
busting, wash we'll in strong white
soap suds and ammonia, rinse clean,
polish with just suspicion of oil and
| rotten stone and rub off afterWard
| every trace of the oil. Never let acid
| touch bronze surface, unless to eat
and pit it for antique effects.-Emily

Grain Grades.

;, Inc state board of grain appeals held
us annual meeting at the Corn Ex-

expectations, there were no important
changes in the wheat grades. In the
general rules the word ''new," as ap-
phed to a newly-harvested crop, was
strcken out because it was shown to
De not only misleading, but the cause
OF much needless confusion. The
strongest argument against the use of
the word was that it virtually fixed
the value of something entirely
beyond the province of the board. AS
OLD wheat always commands higher
value than new wheat, the future elm

change was likewise made in the inter-
ests of the farmer.
In the mo grade faxseed'' the word

words warm, mouldy, very musty or
otherwise unfit for storage"
Previous to the meeting there had
oeen some talk of lowering the grade
OF wheat from Sc to IS pounds, but this
proposed change did not come I'D dur

were the prettiest articles of apparel
ever worn by woman. She must re-
call what he said about the way her

it lay modestly on the lower step of

''The good old sailor" mourned the
fluffy haired bril-, glancing at her own
third finger. ''It was always a mas

"Almost always" corrected the SAL
low young woman, looking pensively
at her unadorned hand.
"Then," said the philosopher, "when
the summer grew tired and that round
straw hat was getting yellow with the

may have just missed the oil stream
by few feet. The man whom luck
seems to follow persistently sinks
well near by and strikes it rich. In
mining, ore of an inferior grade is
usually found as the shaft progresses,
and some of it at least is "pay ,ore.',
and thus the miner is encouraged by
good indications, and frequently by
the finding of good ore that partly
recompenses his great losses. But the
oil driller has no encouragement, and
finds nothing until he reaches a
"gusher," if at all. Thus many for
tunes are lost, and only few are
made. OF the Is gushers in the Beau
mont oil field the reading public hears
a great deal, but nothing is said of
the 100 busters. They will be heard
of only when they strike oil. Nor
does one hear of the miner who sinks
his fortune in the earth. But the

Rice culture is another industry that
contains . large element Of chance,
but not so much as mining or drilling
oil wells, nor is there as much chance
to swindle the planter. However, his
plantation may be "salted," and is, FREE
quently. This proves detrimental to
his crop. The fat, marshy lands of the
gulf coast are specially adapted to
rice culture, and being so near the
gulf is the cause Of danger. to the
growing crops. Rice must have water,
and plenty of it, and the trouble is that
the brackish or salt waters of the gulf

from which the rice plantations are
irrigated. This prevents the rice, from
ripening, or kills it. Within the past
few years about 10000 farmers have

engaged in rice culture and trick
farming. Their experience has acc..m-
