MOI'EL.
The best cast for mot j)crfonnanccs
is four ladies; one of them very tall,
one short, and two of medium height,
one large, muscular man. and one girl
about ten years old. These performers
can till all the parts, as they resemble
each other so closely when whitened
that little is gained by substituting
others for tho various groups.
' The man-wears a suit of cotton tights,
with otton glores ?ewcdon the sleeves,
a kilted skirt of cotton flannel reaching
- to the kno and a skull-cap of the same
material. Two cotton sheets will be
needed for his drapery; u hole is ripped
in the middle of one, through which
his head is thrust The corner of tho
sheet is brought to tho front and the"
Hides looped -up to the shoulders, thus
joriiiing a uoman toga.
The chiM wears a plain .Hight-drcsi,
tho waist being bound by a tape over
which the dress is allowed to fall until
it takes up enough to only rea-h tho
knees. Cotton gloves arc hewed into
- - the sleeves, and a tight cap made of
cotton llauncl covers the head.
. The ladies wear tight white cotton
waists high in tho neck, tho sleeres be
ing made of the legsof cotton Mocking
with cotton gloves sewed firmly into
them after they have been tightly fitted
to the arms.
The caps arc made of cotton cloth
anil braids; bands and waves arc mado
-of cotton wadding to change tho coiffure
when needfuL
. . IHtAriXO.
In draping tho first sheet is tied
nronnd the waist over a tape to form a
scant skirt of tho lower or inner half of
the sheet, the hem of which touches tho
floor. Tho lc:t-hand corner of the front
. hajf -of this sheet is then fnstennd t tlm
right shoulder, and tho other corner is
then also brought up in front, mid tho
end carried to the back and fnsteued at
the waist. A largo knot is then tied in
tho corner of the second sheet, which is
fastened in frontof the left Miouldcr and
tho sheet is drawn across tho knees in
front, and the end fastened in tho same
way as the first sheet Beautiful folds
will be tho result, which can bo stroked
into such positions as may bo desired
after a study of drapery from any good
models, and when the figures are placed
in different attitudes tho drapery thus
.mauyuu win constantly tail into new
and graceful folds of itself.
Asa variety of good subjects may be
found in art journals and photographs,
it will on'y bo .needful to add afow ex

" They're right in style nowadays.

Ellen.
-Yer don't say so! Wal. they do

twin diamonds' is wrapped in mystery.
That they are Terv old cannotbe'doub't
ed, as stones of their size have not been
mined in India for two centuries. They
wcre undoubtedly royal treasures, and
it is said that they passed into the pos
session of Warren Hastings when he
was Governor-General of India. They
returned to native ownership, and came
to light again at the time of the Indian
mutiny.

-where they-were bought by. a Russian
nobleman, who had the gems recut in

The first reports sent otiffrom it re
)orted it llowing at 1.000 barrels per
d.'cm. Since then. Iiowever, the best re
ports rate the daily production of the well
at yOO barrels. Il has been the custom
for several years back to board up the
derricks of "wildcat"' test wells in im
portant locations and place an armed
guard a ouud them to prevent tres-pasiriiirutu-gaiuiug
cceHn order to
Keep the result of tho wells a secret from
the public until the owners havo
had time to bny or sell adjoining
lands and prepare for the effect of
the well on tho market Such a well,
in oil region parlance, is termed
a "mystery," and the frequent occur
rence of "mysteries has resulted in
the cmploynient by lead ng brokers
and large produc.ng firms of men
thoroughly versed in all matters per
taining to" the potrolc mi industry, who
arc aptly .termed scouts, as it is ihcir
duty to learn the condition of such wells
by stra'egy or force. This new well is
no except on to the rule. As soon as it
began r.nw'ng heavil the owners se
cur d the ser ices of Ii ty Swedes, cm
ployed in peeling hem'ock tan-bark in
the vicin ty. and set them to felling
trees around tho well, which is located
in the midst of a vast forest A plot
eight hundred feet square, was marked
out and the logs and brush cut were
piled upon the lines of this square,
forming a high palisade around the
well, which was located in the center
of the sqiare. and then the Swedes
wore put on guard within the in
cloMire to prevent any ono gaining
admittance. The scouts arrived in
duo time, an I began skirmishing
around outside the fort, trying to gain
an entrance, but while daylight lasted
they were unsuccessful. " When the
friendly shades, of night, had fallen
though, three of the most daring ones
silently scaled the wall an I cautiously
ci opt through the trees and bushes, in
side the inclosure. ti tho tanks into
which the well was llowing. where they
remained several hours, listening to tho
flows, and measuring the contents of
the tanks, after which they silently
stole away again. While 'the three
were in the tanks, two others drilled a
holo in the piio lino laid to convey the I
oil away from the well, and on which a
pump was working, by which means
they learned that no oil was passing
through the pipe- On Saturday night
thoy again gauged .the -tanks, twentv
four hours after the first measurement,
anil a no oil was pumped away, thav
knew the e-;act output of the well for
that day. Luckily, the soouts were not
detected at this work, or they would
have been roughly handled. -
Pei haps the most nottble of oil "rays
tcrcs" was tho well on lot 646, Cherry
Grove township, in Warren coanty,
which was drilled to the sand last
March. The well was a rank "wildcat"
of great interest to the trade, and as it
was generally understood it would be
made a mystery scouts were detailed to
watch it some time before it reached
tho oil-bearing levcL None of them
succeeded in getting any reliable infor
mation from it though, except one,
"Si" Hughes, who hai made his way
through the picket line and lay under
tho derrick floor for forty-nine
hours without food, in freezing
weather, and in a position where
he was deluged with water
every time the sand pump was used.
Tho result of the well, which started ia
May with a production of 1.000 barrels
a day, is well known, and Mr. Hughes
received from various parties .50.000
for the information "be suffered snch
hardships to gain. He also wasgivea
an interest in tae oil company, which
purchased lands adjacent to the well,
from which he realized a haadsome
sum. This company was the Anchor
Oil Company, which owes thcaew For

men chosen on account of their thor
