Cut This Out and Keep It- The Scientific American gives this receipe which the whole world should know : At the first indica tions of diphtheria in the throat make the room close, then take a tin cup and pour into it an equal quantity of tar and turpentine, then hold the cup over the fire so as to fill the room with fumes. The patient on inhaling the fumes will cough out the membranous matter and diptheria will pass off. The fumes of the tar and turpen tine loosen the throat and thus af ford the relief that has baffled the skill of physicians. Ripans Tabules cure liver troubles. Ripans Tabules: pleasant laxative. MACEO DEAD. The Dashing Cuban General Was i Betrayed. Havana, Dec. 11.—Dr. Maximo Zertuch'a, formerly the physician of Antonio Maceo, who after the death of Maceo, surrendered t<> General Tort at San Felipe, lias been interviewed by a reporter of La Lucha, one of the leading news papers of this city, Dr. Zertucha says that Maceo intended to attempt to cross the tjocha on December 3d, but was prevented by sickness from doing so. On the next day, however, it was announced that he would not march across the trocha with his men, but would go by water around the end of the trocha and meet an insurgent force on the Havana side of the line. Two boats were accordingly pain ted black and the oars were muf fled. At night Maceo and twenty six men embarked in the boats and passed in front of the town Mariel, at the northern extremity of the western trocha, without be ing seen by ary of the Spanish sentries. The rebel leader Miro and seve ral other commanders of rebel band§ accompanied Maceo. The rebel party landed at the point'se lected without being discovered. When, on December 4th, the en gagement took place between the rebels and Major Cirujeda’s com mand, Maceo was encamped with 2,000 men. When the Spanish force appeared Maceo divided his men into two wings, his intention being to surround the Spanish col umn. He remained alone with his staff for a moment, watching the fighting and exclaimed: “This goes well.” Shortly afterwards he was hit by two bullets one striking him on the chin, breaking his jaw and pas sing out at the junction of the neck and shoulder, and the other striking him in the abdomen. Either wound would have caused death and the rebel leader expired* in a short time. The rebels who were fighting des perately against the Spanish at tack were panic-stricken when they heard of the death of their chief. They fled in disorder, not making any attempt to take Maceo’s body with them. The Spaniards then returned to Punta Brava with their dead and wounded. When the field was clear some of the rebels returned and carried Maceo’s body with them. Dr. Zertucha says that he does not know where the remains were buried, and thus far the search made by the Spaniards has proved fruitless. The deputation of correspondents and reporters of local newspapers who went to Hoyo Colorado to search for the body are continu ing their investigations, but noth ing concerning the result of their inquiry is as yet known here. That Dr. Zertucha was emp'oyed to betray his leader there is no question. What he was paid for it, however, is not yet learned. He has asked the Spanish government for passes to Spain and for official Spanish protection. The details of the assassination are arousing the wildest kind of indignation. Was Her Hobby.

The Sentimental Mule. ‘•I never thought mu es had any I special sentiment or feeling,” said George Miller, secretary of a coal mine at Hazelton, Penn., as he eat in the corridor of the Hotel Neth erland theother night “I thought, of course, they were satisfied any where, so Luig as they were »<t' overworked and had plenty to eat, I and I have seen a good deal of mules and mule nature in the last twenty years. But a few weeks ago I had cause to change my views on the subject. “We had in our mine four old mules who had been down in the levels 200 and 300 feet under the ground for several years. They were used in hauling coal cars back and forth in the levels. They were fairly well treated, well fed, and as comfortably housed in their underground stable as possible, and so far as I know, were con tented with their lot. It became necessarry this summer to make some alternations in the air fans at the mine, and every living thing, except the rats, had to be taken out, so the mules were brought to the surface and turned out to pas ture for the time being. I remem ber how they blinked and winked as they saw sunlight after their long imprisonment- “Finally the mine was ready to work again, and the mules were led to the shaft-house and were about to be placed on the car to be lowered, when it seemed to dawn on their poor dumb intellects that they were going back to the dark mine. Then came one of the most pitiful scenes I ever saw. Those poor beasts seemed almost human in their action. They cried and moaned, and in their way begged not to be sent back. I confess that tears came to my eyes, and many a hardened old miner turned away with a lump in his throat at the sorrowful spectacle. But they had to go down. I could hear their cries grow fainter as the car sank slowly down the shaft- I tell you, gentlemen, those poor brutes have haunted me ever since. It’s that confounded mule incident that has brought me to the city this trip. I’m trying to arrange for an elec tric plant that can do the work in the mine that those mules are now doing.”—New York Times. TRENTON, GA. Miss Mabel Head, Miss Sallie Pace and Mrs. J. P.
