Driving with the Parasol.

The other evening the Jester was
bathing his eyes in cold water. and srs-

to Heaven when she dies, she won be

slaves Of the Cooking stove.

When people of the old world begin
to mingle freely with Americans, the
first thing to attract their attention, usu-
ally, is the strange food on the tables.
Many articles they never before saw or
heard of. But what excites their sur
prise is the extraordinary number of
things provided for each meal. -s
Here are seven kinds of cake, and
nothing to eat, }" we heard q traveller re-
mark one evening at q hotel in Vermont,
when he came in hungry from fishing
on Lake Champlain. 9
That's Just 1t. Seven kinds of cake
and nothing to eatl He might have
added, three kinds of preserves, jar of
mixed pickles, and pile Of hapjacks.
All this, and nothing to eatl A man Of
sound digestion and healthy appetite
would naturally wave these frivolous
dainties aside, and ask for some proper
human food. Good bread and butter
would answer his purpose. Add baked
potatoes, and he would rise from the ta-
BILE refreshed and satisfied, and sleep his
allowance of eight hours as unlike the
proyerbial stop as possible. What
can a hungry man do with pound-cake
aud picklesp
But, ladies. of all the viands ordinarily
seen on tables, this trash is the most Ia
borious to prepare. It Is the eternal
round of pie, cake and sweetmeats that
wears out so many noble women in the
country, who would rather die than
come short of what they think Is their
duty to their households.
The remedy for this Is more ration

fruit by fattening 1t out into innutri6ous
piea Good bread, good meat, good
vegetables, good fruit-what do we
want morea A Scotch farmer gets q
good breakfast from oatmeal and milk,
and goes to bed on bread and cheese.
Ladies, abolish the seven kinds of cake,
put on the table something to eat, and
let simpletons growl il they will.-N. p.

put down on the ground of the Octave re- finery- At five feet oil was found One of the wells is pumping twenty-five barrels day. The McKeown Garden, east of the re- finery, was leased by J. P. Thomas, William Zenzie and J. M. Brinton. Thomas took the northern half of the garden. He got two five barrel wells of excellent green oil. The other parties struck oil, but it is of red hue, and had the appearance of being mixed with tar. In the gardens along the east side of Washington street several wells ''came in'' as good producers but the oil was of an infe- rior quality. All the property along Oil Creek, between Washington and Franklin streets, has been leased by A. J. Kraffert. He will develop it on large scale
 The original Haehn territory maintains it's yield, and is being further developed. Haehn has made 8 trench all around his garden and one through the center Into these the oil collects rapidly. The opera tor IS putting up tanks to receive his oil, as there IS a great scarcity in barrels. Haehn's garden is now yielding 100 barrels day. He expects to increase it to POO. The oil is worth at the fefnerfeS $I.10 a barrel The price of one barrel defrays all the expense of putting down a we'll. Operations are car rled on day and night, The part of the city is lighted up all night by the flaming torches messed nightly by hundreds of people. There are no indications of any decline in the yield of this oil, and Haehn, the lucky discoverer of the field, is laying away not less than $1OO day as clear. profit.
 There are many theories in regard to this unnearo-of presence of petroleum in large quantities so near the surface. One is that the oil IS the leakageof tanks and pipe lines, which has sunk into the earth until it reached the gravelly deposit in which it is now found Tn pools Another. is that this deposit has been forced up from the true petroleum sand stratum by some unknown agency, and caught and retained in the stratum where it now lies

The Recent War in South America and
 It's Results.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The recent war between Chili and the uni |. ted republics of Peru and Bolivia seems to have ended in the complete subjugation of Peru. Bolivia from her isolated geograph- ical situation, escapes almost entirely the disastrous consequences of the war instiga- ted by her own act alone. The desert of Atacama, as formerly known was not worth fighting about. Lying between Chili and Bolivia, where the line marking the bounda- ries between these countries should cross this barren waste was of little consequence to either. Bolivia could have taken more than of right belonged to her and perfect peace would remain undisturbed between them But all this was changed on the dis covery in late years of guano on the coast, and rich beds of unusually pure nitre in the interior, with copper and other mineral indi cations. Now came the boundary question to settle, Ghili making claims inadmissible by Bolivia. However, the immediate cause of rupture was @ tract rich in nitre, discovered within the limits of Bolivia, where Chilians were admitted to the same privileges with Bolivians in the nitre production. Bolivia becoming dissatisfied with the arrangement, imposed tax on the Chilian interest. Chii protested, Bolivia persisted, and Chili ended the discussion by taking armed possession of the nitre territory.
 Now comes Peru on the stage in the inter ests of peace, as mediator. Her good offices in this line were rejected by Chili in such a manner as to force Peru into the war as an ally of Bolivia The consequences to Peru of this war are e complete impoverishment and demoralization of government and peo pie. Bolivia loses little. A strip of her Pa cifc coast it may be. What else has she Will the prestige of her victorious conquests restore Chili's depleted treasury and impaired credit, or bring back the progressive peace enjoyed by her people before this devasta- ting warP The countries conquered cannot furnish the means for the aggrandlze- ment of their conqueror, their resources being completely exhausted. Chii comes out of the war poorer than when she entered it. It was war that proved alike disastrous to conqueror and conquered, with no com pensating feature in it's justification:

 [From the Lancaster {Pena4 Intellisenes.l
 Special correspondence from Titusville says: month or so ago Sebastian Haehn, a blacksmith living in Mechanic street, this city, was spading in his garden after heavy rain. As he turned up the earth he noticed that little pools of crude petroleum formed in the cavities made by the spade. He dug four foot pit It filled up to such an extent that he dipped out fise barrels full. The oil was of excellent quality, and Haehn sold his five barrels to the Octave oil refinery. Week before last Haehn dug another "wel" in his garden. It responded with yield of two barrels an hour. The well attracted great attention It produced eighty barrels and then ceased to flow. The excitement over the novel oil territory died out, soon after wards. On Monday last the news spread through the city that Haehn had opened an- other well in his garden and that it was yield ing at the rate of thirty six barrels day. Hundreds focked to the scene of the new oil operations The we'll was located in the southwest corner of Haehn's potato patch. With large tin hand-pump the owner was taking out of the s'hole" two barrels of oil an hour His previous we'll had also started again. From that one of Haehn's sons was taking oil at the rate of twenty barrels aday.
 Immediately following this strike of the lucky blacksmith great demand for leases
 
 field had never been heard of before. With out capital, and with no tools but a shovel, an operator could sink well and strike the s'sand" in half an hour. The right to dig on four feet of 8 mans garden became worth $5 bonus and one-quarter of the oil. For three days Mechanic and adjacent streets have been thronged with excited spec tators of the new operation in oil produc- ton, and parties anxious to get Ia piece of the territory" On Tuesday night Theodore Avery, who has coal yard adjoining Haehn's garden, put down 8 well. At depth of four feet he struck oil The yield was barrel an hour. He has put down four more wells since. The five wells were yesterday yield ing eight barrels an hour. Sss
 The success of the Hashn and Avery ventures led to wide extension of this strange territory. A vacant lot on Wash ington street, southeast from Haehnss was yesterday the scene of active operations. Three producing wells were put down. The rest were ssdusters." Captain Pick ering went to tswild -catting'' under shed near the Buffalo, Pittsburgh & Warren railroad track, south of Haehn's. He dug to depth of eight feet and got well good for ten barrels day. Two wells were
