Agent, St Lou!3, Mo. Killed by Ants. An exchange tells of a man In Australia who was killed by ants. Such an occurrence is said not to be so very uncommon in that country. It is described as more dreadful than the horrors devised by the most ingenious of the grand inquisitors. The man was a prospector, and "while digging in the side of a hill was injured by a fall of earth. As he lay, partly covered and unable to move, he was attacked by a nest of ants, and for more than an hour millions of tho voracious insects oimply fed upon him. He died shortly after being rescued. There is a case on record of a Ballarat wood carter who was found under his overturned dray, suffering fearful torments. He had been attacked by ants, and would certainly have succumbed had it not been for his dog. Tho animal, a cattle dog, only discovered what was wrong after several hours, and then, by persistent scratching at the stream of ants on the ground and licking them from his master's face and arms, kept him comparatively free till help arrived.

BJMI AS HE AVAS.

ONE OF THE PLAINEST MEN IN THE COUNTRY. Ill Iteeent Death Caused Widespread Sorrow l'lain Everyday Farmer Who Came Near to a Presidential Nomination, The late Richard Parks Bland was born near Hartford, Ky., Aug. 19, 1S33. He received an academic education. He moved to Missouri in 1S55, thence to California, and thence to that portion of Utah now Nevada. He located at Virginia City and practiced law. He was interested in mining operations In California and Nevada. He was county treasurer of Carson county, Utah territory, from 1SG0 until the organization of the state government of Nevada. He returned to Missouri in 1S63, and located in Rolla, where he practiced law with his brother, C. C. Bland, until he removed to Lebanon, in August, 1SG9. He continued his practice there. He was elected in the Forty-third, Forty-fourth, Forty-fifth, Forty-sixth, Forty-seventh, Fortyeighth, Forty-ninth, Fiftieth, Fiftyfirst. Fifty-second and Fifty-third congresses. He was elected, to the Fiftyfifth, congress as a silver democrat, receiving 24,005 votes, against 19,754 votes for T. D. Hubbard, republican, and 1.4C7 votes for J. II. Steincipher, populist. He was elected to the Fifty-sixth congress by a handsome margin. Mr. Bland was never more interestRICHARD ing than at the time of the democratic national convention In 1S9G. As every one knows he was a strong figure before the convention. At one time there was a belief that he stood a strong chance to become the nominee. At that time Mr. Bland was at his home, two miles away from the town of Lebanon. He had no telegraphic or telephonic connection from his comfortable home to the town near which he lived. Instead of remaining close to means of direct communication with the exciting scenes in Chicago, he continued to pursue his daily habits on the farm. Along toward the evening of one of the most exciting days of the convention there were signs that there would be a Bland landslide. In the minds of the knowing ones in the convention it may be that this was not so but this impression got abroad and was felt in most parts of the country. Every telegram that reached Lebanon said something about it. The same thing, in a moderate way, had happened a number of times in the two or three days' proceedings. Fach time there had been a rush for Bland, and each time he astonished the rushers by showing them that his concern was much less manifest than theirs. On this particular evening an effort was made to make Mr. Bland come to town. He had been in for the mail in the afternoon and had purchased some groceries, but he announced to his friends, before starting for home, that he would not come back except under extraordinary conditions. Some one told him that the conditions were extraordinary, and that his nomination was imminent. Mr. Bland shook his head and smiled. "If I am nominated tonight," he said, "I will hear about it in the morning." Accompanied by two or three of the children he climbed slowly inio his not too gorgeous equippage and drove out the dusty street in the direction of his home. Mr. Bland had another reason at this time for sticking close to the farm. "Help" is scarce down that way, and at that time Mrs. Bland's "hired girl" had left her, leaving only a mere slip of a child to assist in the large amount of general work and the care of the children. So it became a part of Mr. Bland's duty to assist about the houe when he could, and this duty he performed. About that time some friendly biographer wrote to him thus: "Though he wears socks, he does not v. ear a collar except on Sunday. He wears knee-high boots, and his trousers are two or three inches too short. He chews a quarter of a pound of tobacco a day. He is poor, honest and independent. He lives on a farm near Lebanon, which, he says, he would sell for the value of the improvements. His house is built of red brick and is two stories high. His family consists of a wife and six children. His oldest child. a girl of 20, i3 at school in Washington. The younger children run around barefooted and are healthy and happy. Mr. Bland is CI, and his wife, who is 43, has the placid, quiet face of a Madonna. She believes that her husband's chances of landing in the white house are slim, and so far as she is concerned she would rather continue to live on the farm. She does all the housework herself. One hired man Is kept, and he

s ft f:im$mw V N V '.

eats with the family. The great silver agitator Is plain-looking. He has a plain, sallow face, with a square forehead, running into a baldish expanse surrounded by blonde hair. He has a rough, brown Reard, sl!?htly touched with gray, cut in the plainest way, and the hoarse voice which comes over it has a sort of twang in It which carries out the plainness of its owner. Bland dresses plainly, and he prides himself on being one of the plain people. He is one of the few Congressmen 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 hi3 congressional salary."

STATUE OF CEN. 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 E. Bissell. The monument is, in its extreme measurement, seventeen feet eight inches high. The nronze figure itself is nine feet high. Mr. Bissell portrays Arthur standing and in an attitude as if he were about to begin a speech. Behind the figure is a Greek chair, from which the president ha3 apparently just arisen. Over one arm of the chair is a 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: "Chester Alan Arthur, Twenty-first P. BLAND. President of the United States of America." The donors of the monument are eminent New York citizens, among whom are Cornelius Eliss and Ijevi P. Morton. The statue is at the northeast corner of Madison Square, and faces south. The pedestal was designed by James Brown Lord. The dedication Tuesday was attended by a large number of persons, including Mrs. John E. McElroy, a sister of President Arthur, who presided at the White House during his term; Gen. and Mrs. Howard Carroll, Miss Masten, President Arthur's niece; former Mayor William L. Strong, Gen. G. H. Sharpe, Charles E. Tiffany, Warner Miller, Elihu Root, Cornelius N. Bliss and George W. Lyons. Mr. Bliss presided. The statue was formally presented to the city by Mr. Root, who made an eloquent address eulogistic of President Arthur. At the conclusion of the address all in the inclosure arose, McElroy unveiled the statue by drawing a cord and loosing the American flag, whose folds had hidden the handsome pile. The statue was accepted on behalf of the city by Randolph Gugenheimer, president of the council, in a brief address. Exception Worth Not luff. One of those positive, men who aro prolific in maxims for the general guidance of mankind was holding forth to a group of listeners. "Ne' er tell your dreams," he said "They interest nobody but yourself, and if they have any significance at all they merely indicate some mental weakness on the part of the dreamer." "Yes," replied one of tlu listeners after a pause, "what a fool old John Banyan was to tell that long dream of his about tho pilgrims!" After this there was another and longer pause. A '! (Juration.

CRITICAL PERIODS In Woman's Life Are Made Dangerous by Pelvic Catarrh. Mrs. Mathilde Richter, Doniphan, Neb., says: "I suffered from catarrh for many years, but since I have been taking Pe-ru-na I feel strong and well. I would

Mrs. Mathilde Richter. advise all people to try Pe-ru-na. As I used Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin while I was passing through the change of life, I am positively convinced your beneficial remedies have relieved me from all my ills." Pe-ru-na has raised more women from beds of sickness and set them to work again than any other remedy. Pelvic catarrh is the bane of womankind. Pe-ru-na is the bane of catarrh in all forms and stages. Mrs. Col. Hamilton. Columbus, O.. says: "I recommend Pe-ru-na to wonv?n. believing it to be especially beneficial to them."

Catarrh is the only correct name for these affections, re-ru-na is an absolute specific for these ailments, which are so common in summer. Dr. Hartman, in a practice of over forty years, never lost a single case of cholera infantum, dysentary, diarrhoea, or cholera morbus, and his only remedy was Pe-ru-na.

Erasmus, Milton, Byron, Moliere, Carlyle, Rossini, Talleyrand, Buffon; among the last Loyola and Franklin, both thirteenth children; Schubert, a fourteenth child, and Volta, a seventh child.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME. "We call attention of our readers to the advertisement of Notre Dame University, Notre Dame, Indiana, one of the great educational institutions of the West, which appears in another column of this paper. Those of our readers who may have occasion to look up a college for their sons during the coming year would do well to correspond with th'i President who will send them a catalogue free of charge, as well as all particulars regarding terms, courses of studies, etc. There is a thorough preparatory school in connection with the University in which students of all grades will have every opportunity of preparing themselves for higher studies. The Commercial Course intended for young men preparing for business may be finished in one or two years according to the ability of the student. St. Edward's hall, for boys under thirteen, is an unique department of the institution. The higher courses are thorough in every respect and students will find every opportunity of perfecting themselves in any line of work they may choose to select. Thoroughness in class-work, exactness in the care of students, and devotion to

the best interests of all, are the distinguishing characteristics of Notre Dame University. Fifty-five years of active work in the cause of education have made this institution famous all over the country. TWO FAMOUS RESORTS. An Out Ins 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 affords 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 trifling 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 its thousands. As autumn falls, America's scenic masterpiece, far-famed Niagara, will claim its annual host of pilgrims with its 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 marvelous frost dressings, of icy forts and snowy palaces; of gleaming, crystal prison barriers vainly striving to bind the roaring, foaming plunge of water will present a spectacle of weird, mysterious beauty which is not duplicated in the world. Outing. Improved Phosphorous Hatches. The recent outcry for a form of lucifer match the manufacture of which shall be innocuous to the workers has led to the introduction of a new coating composition, which is now, after a period of satisfactory trial, being used exclusively in France. Tue principal substance used is a combination of amorphous or red phosphorus with sulphur the sesquisulphide of phosphorus, as it is called which has all the good qualities without the baneful ones of the ordinary white phosphorus. It emits no vapors and can hardly be regarded as a poison, for a dose which would contain enough phosphorus to coat thousands of match heads has no perceptible action upon an adult human being. The new product is mixed with chlorate of potash, powdered glass, etc., in order to give it the necessary inflammable and percussive qualities. A match made by the new French formula will strike on any surface, and one of its chief recommendations is that the process of manufacture is in no sensible degree altered from that of former clays. I.ltersiry Note. Every man who lives in a city and pays his share of the running expenses of that city will find interescing reading in Mayor Carter Harrison's paper on The Misgovernment of the Modern City, which will appear in the July 15th issue of The Saturday Evening Pos: of Philadelphia. The writer's wide experience in the practical politics of a great city and his insight into municipal affairs, gained during the years that he has been Mayor of Chicago, qualify him to give expert testimony concerning the corrup-.ion of city governments and to make some useful suggestions for the suppression of the bribe-giver and the boodler. The Misgovernment of the Modern City is one of a group of articles dealing with questions of vital import and written by experts of international reputation. The Post for July löth will also contain articles and stories by Bret Harte, Molly Elliot Seawell, Col. W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill). Ex-Senator Ingalls. Robert J. Burdette, and others equally well known. 'ev Fireproof Wool.
