Coal OIL JOhnny-The career or a
SpendthFift. af


A writer in the New York Ledger
says: sin answer to correspondents
in your paper, see some one asks il
there was any person who received a
large amount from oil wells, and who
sqnandered the money most reckless
ly. I am glad to be able to inform
you that young man named John
ny Steel had left to him fortune, in
about 1868 or 1869, which was estima-
ted to be worth two millions or over
it consisted of coal oil lands and
cash. A great portion Of the lands
he leased on royalty; and on one
occasion, after having walked around
to the different wells aud collected
the royalties, amounting to about
fifty thousand dollars, which he car
ried in carpet sack, he got tired of
carrying the burden, and remarked to
friend who was with him, that he
would not carry the money for it, and
threw it away, telling his friend that
he could have it il he would get 1t.
On one occasion, while in hotel in
Philadelphia, the proprietor aud he
had some words, and Steel remarked
to the proprietor that he could lease
fDL OuI llo hOucCf anu 0onC4 " aat DC
would lease him the house for twenty
four hours for. A figure being named,
Steel leased, and allowed every one
who came to the house for that twen-
ty-four hours to go scot free. In fact,
he made It q free blow out for any,
body and everybody. While 10
Philadelphia IL was his custom to en-
gage a haekman to take him around.
On leaving him at night, Steel
would engage him for the next day,
and IL the hackman was prompt in
getting around, Steei would buy
him q fine hack and present it to him
telling him to Ego il on his own
hook" now. On one occasion, being
caught in q rain-storm, and getting
very muddy, he stopped at q hotel
at Point Breeze, and requested the
best room in the house. The land
lord, examined the muddy applicant
closely, remarked that his rooms were
all full. Steel inquired what he
would sell the house for. The price
being named, Steel bought and paid
for it, took the best room, stayed un-
til the next day, and then left pres
enting the ex-landIord the house
again.
During one of his visits to Philsdel-
phis he desired to engage man to
drive carriage for him. When the
applicant was engaged he took him
to one ofJthe sale stables and purchas-
ed the finest pair of horses they had,
then went to a carriage warehouse
and,purchsed one Of the finest barOueh-
es obtainable. After using this ele-
CANT turnout for about week, he
concluded to return to the oil country,
and upon leaving presented his team
to the driver. There are many more
such reckless transactions. Hesquan-
dered his two millions in about two
years, and went to driving a team,
hauling oil. He appeared in no wise
disheartened by mis- loss Of fortune,
and was just as gay and happy while
driving the oil team as when spending
his money. A short time later he
received from the sales of some of his
land another fOrtune-not as large as
the former, but still fortune. This
last one was squandered in about one
year. He was always a happy,
don't care, look-out-for-to-dsy-only
fellow.

From the st. Paul Pioneer-Press. J
Killing GrasshOppeTs.

If anybody has doubted the efficacy
of the bounty system for the destruc-
ton of grasshoppers, that doubt will
be dissipated by the specials to the
Pioneer Press this morning from the
infested district. Under the stimulus
of bOunties, ranging from 81 to 81 per
bushel, the farmers aud the unem-
ployed men and boys in the towns
and villages have turned out in large
numbers aud are rapidly extermina-
ting the grasshOppeFs in Blue Earth,
Nicollet, lie Sueur and Brown eOun-
ties. Our MankatO correspondent es-
Inmates that by last night ?. 900 bush
els of hOppers were received in the six
infested towns 10 Blue Earth comfy
and the insects are now growing so
scarce that some OF the boys are re-
tiring from the business. At st.
Peter on Saturday and Monday 80
bushels were caught and destroyed.
In three towns Ia LIE Sueur cjun ty
about 300 bushels Of those trophies of
the combat have been received by the
authorities. AS the result of a few
days work, over $500 bushels of
these destructive pests have been de-
livered over to the authorities and
the flames. At Mr.. Green's estimate,
500, 900 per bushel, here is an sggre-
gate of $50, ,000,0 900 lOeusts destroyed
by this means alone, tn say nothing
OF the multItudes destroyed by other
means. Here were enough, il they
had lived, to eat up the State of Min
neSOta.
Brown county, too, has gone into
the business with an offer of 81 per
bushel. In Meeker county the hop
pers seem to be very scarce, only six
and One-fOrth bushels have been de-
livered under an inducement OF s. per
bushel. But the work is now pro-
crossing finely all along the line, and
if Sibley and Mcleod counties will
close up the gap and SEND their battsl-
ions OF infantry into the field the
grasshoppers will be pretty well
sta amped ont before the week is over.

And Now a Cat Whips an Eagle.

A gentleman of this city gives an
interesting account of a recent at
tempt by an eagle to carry off eat,
which occurred at farm on the bay
shore of Kent county, Maryland. A
young, medium sized cat was treading
leisHrely along in a potato patch,
when large full-grOwn eagle swOOp-
ed down, and, catching her in his tai
ons, bore her up. Pussy wriggled and
mewed piteOusly for some moments,
but suddenly seeming imbued with
courage, she began determined ef-
fort to obtain hold on her oppress-
or. So great were her struggles that
the eagle was unable to fly longer, and
kept up constant tapping of its wings
TO keep aloft. After much exertion
the cat succeeded in its object, and
obtained firm grasp With her claws
on the breast OF the eagle, which made
every possible eEdeavOr to free itself
in vain. 1t tapped its wings. shook
its body, and appeared to heartily re-
gret having meddled with pussy in
her peaceful ways. Finally, as if in
despair and exhaustion, it spread its
broad wings and fell slowly to the
bay, over which the struggle had
been going on. Immediately upon
touching the water the cat lOOsed her
hold and swan boldly ashore, while
the eagle, upon being freed Of its
troublesome burden, shot upward and
sped rapidly away.

81 am informed" he continued,
'that fotry thousand eight burdred
and seventy-two tooth-pjcks are used
by the Cincinnati hotels every year,
which is equal to that many business
cards of mine distributed to the pnb-
lie. Now fifty dollars couldn't buy
that number of business cards and in-
sure their distribution.
Certainly not. But this inscription
on the tooth-picks must be very small;
l don't see how it can be read"
Nothing easier, my dear sir. You
see each agent carries 3 small micro
scope to assist people in making it out
But that isn't the only advertising
plan I am in with. You see this
piece Of rag with my card printed on
it? Yes well you probably couldn't
guess what 1t is for. I'll tell you. It's
for doing up q sore finger"
''What has sore finger got to do
with advertisingT'
Everything, my dear sir. every
thing. There are over q million sore
fingers in America every year. At q
very moderate expense an advertising
firm in Philadelphia prints my cards
on rags like these and furnishes them
to victims OF sore fingers free of
charge, so they will use them in pref
erence to all others. A million Of
these rags are sent to all parts of the
United States, and am only requir-
ed to pay one hundred and fifty dol
lars for the privilege OF having my
name on them" .-
"ADd you paid 1t ?rI 20.
Certainly did. had TO in order
to prevent any other man from get
ting the chance ahead of me-" -
ga sore finger, then, you consider q
better advertising medium than an
established and popular newspaper ?"
swell yes in this case. Been trav-
cling, lately 2' alls.r avs
eyes made trip to Minnesota aud
Iowa not long ago."
"Then you must have seen my busi-
ness card painted in black letters on a
white board and nailed to the tele-
graph poles ?' - ..i.-...t.t ia
We hand't seen anything of the
kind.
"SinguIsr if you didn't. A man came
along last fall and collected one hun
dred dollars of me for mailing such a
board on every telegraph pole in the
United States. That was his contract
and paid him the money on his affi-
davit that the work was done. But
perhaps you wasn't noticing telegraph
poles. No, don't believe / will put
any advertisement in your paper this
week. You see I am advertising a
good deal now." dt
Just then a man came in and collect
ed a bill for sticking Punkinhead's
card on every balloon that went up
during 1874, and effected a new con-
tract for 1875 with what me called the
''diving bell supplement-" agreeing to
attach q card to all diving bells that
go down in 1875 without extra charge,
a compliment, as he said, to their reg
ular advertisers. When we left an
other advertising agent was laying
before nunkinhead the great advan-
tage af investing in patent stamp
to be attached to the seats
Of boys pants when they go skating
When they get q fall his name and
business will be neatly stamped upon
the ice, so that all who skate may
read. When it comes to judicious
advertising the race of Punkinheads
Is very numerous.

Oatmeal as Food.

The advantages of oatmeal as an
article OF food are getting to be tolera-
bly, well understood, and all persons
who have commenced its regular use
will agree that its nutritious and
health giving properties have not
been overrated. Chemical analysis
shows that oatmeal is richer than
wheat In starch and the heterogeneous
compounds the first being fat-form-
ing and the latter flesh forming con-
stituents. As compared with barley
and corn, oatmeal Is found to be still
richer in these elements As food It
sits lightly on the stomach and IS ex-
ceedingly digestible. 1t Is one OF the
best articles Of food to give to growing
children, and Is especially valuable
also TO persons who do brain work. A
little outmeal mixed in water makes 3
cool and refreshing drink, and farm
ers and contractors who provide their
laborers with it will find it far better
than any form of stimulant, aud in
the long run more satisfactory to the
men themselves. Oats grown in far
northern localities have larger and
plumper grains than any other, and
It Is for this reason that Scotch oat-
meal ranks so high. Excellent oats
for mealing, however, are produced in
Canada

Paris Correspondence Chicago Tribun
WOrth's Dresses and BIlls.

A lady going to Worth has nothing
upon which to calculate as the proba-
BILE sum Of his bill, for his charges are
altogether arbitrary, and have no ref
erence whatever to the cost of ma
terials or labor employed. An Amer
lean lady lately gave an order for 8
black silk dress to be made in the
scaDt style of the First Empire now
worn, In which ladies give no impress
sion that they glide, as in the days OF
more ample draperies, but prove con-
clusively, especially when the wind
blows, that they are bipeds, as are
angels and men. The dress was sent
home very plain, very scant, and evil
IDENTIFY made of so little material that
the fair owner was completely as
founded by the magnitude of the bill
that came with it. Indignant at such
high-hsnded imposition, she went to
Worth and sxpostulated. But the
king dress-maker took lofty grounds
and informed her that she paid not
for labor, or for style, but for the un-
speakable glory of wearing his
name.n She went home and wrote
him q note, saying that, as the honor
of wearing his name was too expen-
sive luxury for her purse, she would
cOuntermand an order for several
thousand dollars worth OF dresses
concerning which she consulted him,
and would advise her numerous
friends to seek q conscientious mo-
diste. That same day she received
from Worth an elegant lace overdress,
in value far exceeding the silk cor
cerning which she had demurred,
with a note saying that the modiste
had concluded that he must have
been mistaken in the value Of the
black silk robe, and now sent the
overdress to make it worth It's price

TO Know 4 H0rse's Age From HIS
Teeth.

The colt is born with twelve grind
ers- When four front teeth have made
their appearance the horse is twelve
days old; and when the next four
come forth, it is four weeks old.
When the corner teeth appear the colt
is eight months old, and when the
latter have attained the height of the
front teeth, it is ore year old.
The two years colt has the kernel
the dark substance in the middle Of
the tOOth's crOYn-grOund out of all
the front teeth
In the third year the middle font
teeth are being shifted, and when
three years old these are substituted
for the horse teeth, the next four teeth
are shifted Ia the fourth year, and the
corner teeth in the fifth.
At six years the kernel is worn out
of the middle front teeth and the bri-
die teeth have now attained to their
full growth.
AT seven years a hook mas been
formed on the corner teeth of the up
per jaw the kernel of the teeth next
at the middle fronts is worn out. and
the bride teeth begiu to wear of.
At eight years OF age the kernel is
worn. out of all the lower front teeth,
and begins to decrease in the middle
upper fronts.
In the ninth year the kernel has
wholly disappeared from the upper
middle front teeth, the hook on the
corner tooth has increased in size as
the bride teeth lose their points.
In the tenth year the the kernel has
worn out OF the teeth next to the mid
die fronts of ths upper jaw and in
the eleventh year tue kernel has en-
tirely vanished from the corner teeth
of the same jaw.
At twelve years old, the crowns of
all the front teeth ia the lower jaw
have become triangular, and the bri-
die teeth are much worn down. As
the horse advances in age, the gums
shrink away from the teeth, which
consequently receive long, narrow
appearance, and their kernels have
metamorphosed into q darkish point,
grey hairs increase i'm the forehead,
the chin assumes the shape Of an
eagle.
