A Very Large Black Insect Which Is Both

A bumble-bee sometimes gets into a

him. When the spider sees what big
game he has caught, he ruhs away to a
place of safety, and looks on and sees
Lis net destroyed. After the bee has
escaped the spider repairs tie damage.

your Dog Needs Exercise.

If you keep dog on chain he should
have at least two hours good exercise
every day, or even three. His kennel
should be turned away from the
draught or the prevailing wind, and
on stormy nights make a point of throw
ing a ta"paulir over his house. This is
merciful and keeps the poor fellow de-
lightfully snug.

This may seem like bold assertion to
those familiar only with the means gener-

liver oil and its filthy emulsions, extract
of malt, whiskey, different preparations of
hypophosphites and such like paliidfives.
Although by many believed TO be incura-

living witnesses to the fact that in all its

IslanI-Qucer Notice Posted.

Havana. Nov. ~. via Tampa, Fla,
Dec. 4.-News has been received here
of the death of the rebel chief Rafael
Nasferrer v Peralta. He was an in
fiuential man among the rebels. He
was killed in an engagement near
the city of Sagua, where his command
was attacked by volunteers of Cifuen-
ties, and the civil guard. Up to date
over forty of the rebel leaders have
been killed. Encouraging news con-
tinues to arrive from the sugar estates
in Las Villas and vicinity. Cruces adj
vices of the 2lst report full activity at
many large sugar properties. The
report adds: 1.-The canefields. while
they have not had the attention of
earlier years, present a magnificent
showing, and when the grinding is
over the crop will be fully up to the
average and perhaps exceed it." Over
$4,000 men are now on their way to
Cuba from Spain. Near Placetas, the
rebels have nailed the following notices
to the trees: Anyone found cutting
grass with the intention of selling it to
the public will be hanged. The cutters
of grass who cannot read. let them find
some one who can." Recently a num-
ber of men have been found hung to
trees. In other instances inoffensive
blacks and whites have been hacked to
pieces by the machetes of the rebels
Many rebels recognizing the hopeless
ness of their cause are coming into the
Spanish camps to surrender. Under
Gen. Campos' orders, after an enquiry,
they are liberated. The faith in Gen.
Campos is perfect. On the 10th it was
reported that &he reoel chief, Serafin
Sanchez, with a body of calvary, was
seen encamped near Mausquites de
Capirot, four leagues from the city of
Sancti Spiritus Gen. Garrich instantly
left to give them battle. Details from
the field come in very slowly.
Boarded and Searched.
Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-Two Spanish
gunboats boarded and searched off the
north coast of Cuba the small Norwe-
gian steamship Meringen, which ar
rived yesterday from Baracoa. Boat
loads of men from one vessel boarded
the fruiter, while the two warships
kept watch to prevent the escape of
filibusterers and the landing of war
material, which was supposed to be on
board. After thorough search moth
ing of a contraband character was
found on board and a certificate was
given to the captain of the Meringen
to that effect. A protest was also for
warded by the admiral in charge of the
sea h, protesting against the ridicu-
lous stories which are continually be-
ing sent to Cuba from Philadelphia.

Clarendon hall Ahat the strike would
be declared off and the strikers be at

is said, will prepS re uniform scale of

had contemplated adopting such step
long ago. This is probably the first
instance of a body of employers doing
so OF their own volition. The exceu-

a committee of the men to-day and dis
cuss the new scale of wages, but no
discussion on the subject will be en-
tered upon by the Iron league until the
strike is first declared off.
Employers Give Men a Chance.

for the Cornell firm on Twenty-eighth

there was and had been for long time
very little work for housesmiths in
Jersey City and Brooklyn and that
these two cities could have supplied
right along hundreds of skilled men
for work in New York, but members of

to their old employees to come back to
the places they had left, and conse-
quently refrained in great measure

London, Dec. 4.-The Daily News to-

\ saving that the sultan has resolved to
break off all diplomatic relations in
Constantinople if the powers force q
passage of the Dardanelles with their
second guardships. The Times to-day

Ian, secretary of the Armenian relief
committee, accompanied by Represen-
tative Mccall of Massachusetts, had a
consultation with Secretary Olney yes
terday relative to sending funds, being
raised in this country, to the suffering
Armenians. Mr.. Bogigian, speaking
Of the conference, said that he found
the secretary of state very attentive
and well versed or. the Armenian ques-
tion. He expressed much tender feel
ing for the sufferers and promised to
do what he could for them. Mr.. Bo-
gigian asked if our minister at Con-
stantinople could be instructed to see
to the proper disbursement of any
funds sent to the Armenians Secretary
Olney at once said that the Red Cross
society was the best agency to take
charge of this matter.
Much Suffering Feared.
Athis suggestion Mr.. Bogigian called
on Miss Clara Barton and her staff at
the Red Cross headquarters He laid
the matter before Miss Barton and her
associates, acquainting her with the
situation and the destitution of Arme-
mans, urging the Red Cross society to
take charge of the matter. Miss Bar
ton did not give definite answer, but,
from her conversation Mr.. Bogigian
feels satisfied that if the people of the
United States request it the Red Cross
society will undertake the work. With
this end in view the Boston committee
will communicate with the various re-
lief committees throughout the coun-
try, and urge the Red Cross people to
take charge of the matter Mr. Bogi-
gian, who is an Armenian, said that
the winter is now on in Armenia, and
that the suffering would be intense un.
less aid of some kind was quickly fur
