Methods of a japanese Athlete

Colonel Mclaughlin, between his
wrestling bouts, is rubbed by an attend.
ant vigorously from the time he leaves
the stage until he goes on ngain. Ross
is treated differently. Matsada Sora.
kiohi, his Japanese companion, slapped
him on Thursday evening until his skin
was red. This work lasted but few
seconds. Ross wonld then put on a
coat, place towel over his chest, and
stretch himself Mt full length upon a
bench, with his valise as a pillow.
"You prefer slapping to rubbing"
inquired Times reporter.
~ do, answered Ross. "Hou can
bet that Matsada is the boss trainer-he
can't be beaten by anyone in America. "
Matsada grinncd approval. "He hardly
ever eats meats unless it be rats. DO
you eat rats, Matsada?n he asked turn.

"Ratsl" muttered Mat, hesitatingly,

Draw rat on piece Of paper
A failure to draw anything but the
rodents tail prompted the athlete 10 try
it, and he delineated the nasty little
animal so correctly that when the Japa.

his features.
"Aw! UNI" he exclaimed.

A Toledan's Impression OF Los
Angeles.

From letter written by W. II. Cur
rier, descriptive of trip from Toledo,
Ohio. to los Angeles, and published in
tho Toledo Blade Of May 20th, we re-
publish that portion in which he gives
his impressions Of this city and vicinity:
Monday morning we emerged from the
desert into the fertile valleys of Ca :
fornia. Oh what contrast Here
flowers in abundance on all sidea, and
the mountains capped with snow in full
sight. The foothills aud mounds are
now covered with green grass, aud the
stock, what are seen from the n win
dow, are fat and sleek. The Mexican
cowboys have disappeared, and you see
men OF intelligence aud thrift. We are
now in Gods own country. A land of
perpetual simmer, with fruit and II wv
ers ON all sides, and NIL nature blooms.
The contrast could not be greater, aud
am not possessed of words or ability to
describe this country, but one Is well
prepared Ia appreciate it after passing
over the 2000 miles of barren country
which lies east of it. We have driven
to all the principal places of interest and
are now ready to move on to new seen, 8.
We drove in carriage to Pasadena,
which is small village up the
Arroyo Seco river, nine miles away,
situated in the midst of orange
groves and extensive vineyards, and
what pic'urel No tongue o
pen can describe it fully, The air is de-
lightful here, about 1000 feet above the
sen, and such flowers, plants AMI irop.
ical trees. Palms, cactus and the euca.
lyptus tree grow in abundance, also the
pepper tree. We also went up to the.
foot of the Sierra Madre Mountains to
popular resort, tho Sierra Madre Villa,
which il at the foot of the mountain,
1900 feet-above the sea, and whose pc tx
rises above the clouds to height of
1000 feet. The tops of these are covered
with snow and from the dista ace, miles
away, can be seen above the clouds, but
at the Villa you can only follow with
your eyes the rough, rugged rocks up to
the clouds, and then you must stop, but
what panoramic view when you turn
and look across the San Gabriel Valley,
one of the most fertile in the State, with
here and there house, but principally
covered with fields of wheat and bailey,
and vineyards aud orange groves.
The trees are loaded with fruit
in all stages of maturity, from
the bud and blossom to the ripe gold dsn
fruit. Well. my dear Colonel, you must
see it to know anything of it. | cant
describe it. My picture would fall as
short of the reality as the Illuminated
rays of a tallow candle would be to those
of the sun am glad came, for to
travel is to be educated, aud to enjoy
sojourn in this valley is next to Eden it.
self Los Angeles has Il popula ton of
25,000, which has come here, for the
most part, during the past l0years. The
railroads have made this place, and to
hear the citizens talk o. it and its advan-
tages, would sound visionary, but the
past has proved the truth OF what they
say of the resources OF the country. 1t
is simply wonderful Those who had a
little patch of land few years ago,
scarcely worth the taxes. are now rich
in possession of it, or the proceeds of its
sale, or its products.

THE old False Prophet has been osseri-

an army of hundred thousand, captures

evident now that Gen'l Gordon will have
to withdraw from the Soudan altogether.
Whether England will attempt to regain
her lost supremacy in Egypt, at once, re-

Millions in Petroleum.

There are 10000 producing oil wells
in Pennsylvania, yielding at present
90, 900 barrels OF oil a day. 1t requires
5000 miles of pipe line and 1000 iron
tanks OF an average capacity of $4,000
barrels each to transport and store the
oil and surplus stocks. There are now
nearly rs, 900, 900 barrels of oil stored in
the region in tanks. This oil would
make lake more than one mile square
and ten feet deep. The money actually
invested in petroleum production since
1860 is estimated to be more than S425,
O0J, 900, of which 500, 000, 900 was cap
ital from New York City. Since 1850
more than 81, 900 900 has been used in
building iron tanks, and nearly as much
in pipe lines, all by one corporation. The
tanks cost on an average $1,000 each. A
35, GOO barrel tank is 80 feet in diameter
and 2S feet high. There is lateral
pressure of 5000 pounds on each square
inch OF tank of this size when full of
oil. There a 100 tons of iron used in
constructing one.
The speculative Transactions in petro-
leum represent more than $500, 600, 900
annually. The lowest price crude petro-
leum ever brought was ten cents bar
rel, in 1861. In 1859, when there was
only one well in existence, Col. brakes
Pioneer, at Titusville, the price was S25
a barrel. Besides the 5000 mil of pipe
line in use in the oil regions, there are in
operation 1900 miles OF trunk pipe lines
connecting the region with Cleveland,
Pittsburgh, Buffalo and New York, and
lines building to Philadelphia aad Balti-
more. In the line between Olean
and New York $1,000 barrels of oil are
transported daily. These lines are all the
property of the Standard Oil Company,
except one between Bradford aud VIII
Transport, Pa. The Standard employs
100000 men. The product of its retin-
cries requires the making of y. 900 oak
barrels of forty gallons each, and l00,-
900 tin cans holding five gallons each,
every day. The first American petro-
leum ever exported was in 1862. Charles
Lcckhert, OF Pittsburgh, sent nearly 600
900 gallons to Europe in that year, and
sold it ior $1,000 less that the cost of
transportation. In 1883 nearly 400,-
900, 900 gallons were exported. for which
$50, 900, 900 were returned to this coun-
try. -IndependsHt Journal,

Now that Mr.. Elliot, President of Har-
ward University, one of the deepest
thinkers and purest men in America,
with MIR. Hoar, and many Others OF al-
most equal prominence, have pronounced
against Blaine and his methods, as ut
terly unworthy the support OF the
American people, we suppose they will
say that President Elliot is nincom
poop and a nobody, and that all the
others are beneath contempt by the
lords of the Republican party. 1t is too
true that the "big head" counts for con.
siderable in this world, aud that the
Pharisee always had more earthly sue

worth, and tins principle crops out in
politics as well as in morals. To those
who remember the slight put upon Gov.
Butler, only year ago, by Harvard
University, and his quarrel with that in
tuition, the charge that the movement
Boston is in his interest is utterly ab-
d. The truth is that Blaine and his
hods are too bitter pill for even the

rnd this being true the pill must be
ating beyond comprehension.
