Killed nv Ants.

An exchange tells of a man in Aus
tralia who was killed by ants. Such
an occurrence is said not to be so very
uncommon in that country. 1t is de-
scribed as more dreadful than the hor-
rors devised by the most ingenious
of the grand inquiSitorS.
The man was prospector, and
while digging in the side of hill was
injured by a fall of earth. AS he lay,
partly covered and unable to move,
he was attacked by nest of ants, and
for more than an hour millions of the
voracious insects simply fed upon him.
He died shortly after being rescued.
There is case On record of Balla-
rat wood carter who was found under
his overturned dray, suffering fearful
torments. He had been attacked by
ants, and would certainly have sue
cumbed had it not been for his dog.
The animal, cattle dog, only discov-
cred what was wrong after several
hours, and then, by persistent scratch
ing at the stream of ants on the
ground and licking them from his
masters face and arms, kept him COM
paratively free till help arrived.

STATUE OF GEN. ARTHUR.

The statue of the late President
Chester A Arthur, which has just been
unveiled in New York, is one OF the
best creations of Sculptor George Z.
Bissell The monument is, in its ex-
IRENE measurement, seventeen feet
eight inches high. The bronze figure
itself is nine feet high. Mr.. Blssell
portrays Arthur standing and in an at
titude as if he were about to begin
speech. Behind the figure is a Greek
chair, from which the president has
apparently just arisen. Over one arm
Of the chair is drapery suggesting
the toga which, as president of the
senate, Mr.. Arthur might have worn.
The pedestal is of gray marble highly
polished and devoid OF ornament save
for bronze wreaths on the sides. On
the front block is this inscription:

TWO FAMOUS RESORTS.
An Outing Hint from Outing"

Fast, safe, superbly equipped and
most carefully governed, one need not
wonder at the great popularity of the
New York Central. No other line af-
fords such facilities for through travel
between the East and the West as this
wonderful four-track system. In the
possession of Grand Central Station,
located in the heart of New York City
and within trifiing distances of all
first-class hotels, this railway offers
greater advantages than competing
lines. Spring, summer, autumn and
winter, it has attractions irresistible.
The great Northern Wilderness, the
playground of the State, now beckonS
it's thousands. AS autumn falls, Amer
lca's scenic masterpiece, far-famed
Niagara. will claim it's annual host of
pilgrims with it's majestic power, the
fierce turmoil of the Whirlpool and all
of the picturesque surroundings, the
awesome Cave of the Winds and the
several other minor attractions OF the
vicinity. And when winter comes,
then the entire scene transformed to
what seems a fairyland of marvellous
frost dressings. of icy forts and snowy
palaces; of cleaning, crystal prison
barriers vainly striving to bind the
roaring, foaming plunge of water-wlll
present spectacle of weird, mys-
FERROUS beauty which is not duplicated
in the world.-Outing.

Improved Phosphorus Matches.

The recent outcry for a form of luci-
fer match the manufacture of which
shall be innOcuOuS to the workers has
led to the introduction of a new coat
ing composition, which is now, after
period of satisfactory trial, being used
exclusively in France. The principal
substance used is a combination of
amOrphOUS or red phosphorus with
sulphur-the sesquisulphide of phos-
phorus, as it is called-which has all
the good qualities without the baneful
ones of the ordinary white phOsphOr-
us. 1t emits no vapors and can hardly
be regarded as a poison, for a dose
which would contain enough phOS-
phOruS to coat thousands of match
heads has no perceptible action upon
an adult human being. The new prod
uct is mixed with chlOrate of potash,
powdered glass, etc, in order to give
it the necessary inflammable and per-
cussive qualities. A match made by
the new French formula will strike on
any surface, and one of its chief rec
concentrations is that the process of
manufacture is in no sensible degree
altered from that of former days.

ONE OF THE PLAINEST MEN IN
THE COUNTRY.
His Recent Death Caused Widespread
Sorrow-PIain Everyday Farmer Who
ton.

The late Richard Parks Bland was
born near Hartford. Ky, Aug. 10, 1885.
He received an academic education.
He moved to Missouri in 1855, thence
to California, and thence to that por-
ton of Utah now Nevada He located
al Virginia City and practiced law.
He was interested in mining opera
tions in California and Nevada He
was county treasurer of Carson county,
Utah territory, from 1860 until the or
ganization Of the state government of
Nevada. He returned to Missouri in
1865, and located in Rolla, where he
practiced law with his brother. C. C.
Bland, until he removed to Lebanon,
in August, 1869. He continued his
practice there. He was elected in the
Forty-third, Forty-fourth, Forty-fifth,
Forty-sixth, Forty-seventh, Forty
eighth, Forty-ninth, Fiftieth, Fifty
first, Fifty-second and Fifty-third con-
crosses. He was elected to the Fifty
fifth congress as a silver democrat, re-
eeiving 24,605 votes, against 1854

eats with the family. The great silver
agitator is plainlooking. He has
plain, sallow face, with a square fore
head running into a baldish expanse
surrounded by blonde hair. He has a
rough, brown beard, slightly touched
with gray, cut in the p!ainest way, and
the hoarse voice which comes over it
has a sort of twang in it which car
ries out the plainness of its owner.
Bland dresses plainly, and he prides
himself on being one of the plain peo-
pie. He is one of the few Congress
men who make farming pay. He has
one of the largest apple orchards in
this country, and for some years has
been making more out of his apples
than his congressional salary

4 Perugian'S Discovery.

Prof AXenfeld of Perugia has dis
covered that three-fifths of all men of
distinction are first-born children; the
other two-fifths are either second or
third children, or else the youngest
of very large families. Among the
first he points out Luther, Dante, Ra-
phael. Leonardo da Vinci, Confucius,
Heine, Schopenhauer, Goethe, Ariosto,
Mohammed. Shelley. Erasmus, Milton,
Byron, Moiere, Carlyle, ROssini, Tai
leyrand, Button; among the last LO-
yola and Franklin, both thirteenth
children; Schubert, fourteenth child,
and Volta, a seventh child. The pro-
fessor thinks this arises from physi-
illogical reasons and a law of nature.
