F~astidiOus Snakes.

Mr.. A. b. Baker of the national ZOO
logical park notes that the large snakes
refuse to eat rats captured about the
buildings, but quickly devour those
caught out of doors. Rats taken indoors
were then kept for a day or so in a cage
with an earth floor, after which they
were readily eaten. A very similar ex-
perience was had with smaller snakes,
copperheads, these declining to eat
house mice, permitting them to run
about the cage or ever yer their bodies

HOME OF THE HORNET.

When the hornet comes from his cell,
says he Scientific American, he does
SO a full-nedged worker and at once
begins to labor. The new hornets are
c~ourteously received by their lonely
mother, who shows them where water
and wood fiber can be found and they
proceed to enlarge the nest. They are
deliberate workers.. No two insects
work on the same part of the nest, and
they never encroach on each others
territory.
A nest is never used a second sea-
son. One popularity about the hor-
nets is that they seem to have the
faculty of marking the direction from
which a missile is thrown. A senti-
mel always stand at the door of the
nest and almost the instant a stone is
hurled by some mischievous boy he
gets what feels like a stunning blow
in the forehead, for the wary watcher
flies with head inc all together and
stings viciously.
The sting of the hornet, of all insect
st1ngs, is most to be dreaded. The
sting to the naked eye looks like a fine
needle, but under the microscope it is
seen to consist of three pieces, a short,
stout, outer sheaf cleft through it's
length on the underside and obtuse at
the end, Within which are partly con-
tanned W large curved lances furnish
ed on n edge with teeth directed
backward. A poison duct leads to the
teeth.
The hornets nest is commenced in
the early springtime by the female hor-
net, who has passed the winter in some
old tree trunk OF decaying stump.
She gathers the wood fbers from
fence rails or logs, chews them and
applies the pasty solution to the limb
she has selected as the site Of her
future dwelling. This she does until
she has formed twenty-four little cells
and in them she lays her eggs, cover
ing the cells until the eggs hatch and
the larvae have to be fed. Then she
stores food in each cell n covers
them up again with a white substance.

HAVEN & SToU,r's COTTON LET
TER.

New TorK, Dec. Especial. Fire
quent predictions were heard, that dur
ing the month of November, receipts Of
cotton would begin to show a material
increase This idea was so generally I'M
stilled in the minds of European spin
ners together with the belief that at
ter all the crop was a large one, that
they seemed to have generally kept out
Of the market, and refused to buy as
prices advanced Their calculation was
that il the total receipt crept up
to the same figures as n year ago, prices
would naturally decline and they would
be able to supply their requirements to
better advantage. Thus Tar, however,
receipts do not indicate that the move
ment Of the crop when the year ends
will have by any means equalled thar
of 1898 but that it is falling behind,
and is doing so ut a rapid rate.
Purchases of spots in the Liverpool
market this week have been on an eX-
ceedingly liberal scale. 1T the end Of
the week they will. in all probability,
represent the largest total for such a
Period so far this year. Moreover, this
buying has been lit the highest figures
vet seen for the present crop, or for
more than two years past indicating
that foreign consumers not having OBJ
tanned the cotton they needed, have
come TO the conclusion that the crop IS
moderate in size, and that longer de-
lay in buying would increase their loss.
There has also been reported liberal
buv.ag By foreign interests in the
South during the last few days. The
amount of cotton now afioat is the small
est in comparison with corresponding
periods in recent years, being about
one quarter Of last years figures.
Another encouraging sign to balls on
cotton is the disposition of New Eng
lard mills TO meet the views Of their
operatives to increases in wages This
would indicate that even with the high
er prices they are paying for cotton
actual and prospective business war
rants them in the advancing wages The
print cloth market continues to stiffen,
and the dry goods trade, generally, is
in excellent shape, n feature being the
increase exports OF cotton goods to
China and Japan.
The market for cotton contracts is
now an active speculative one. At times
its fluctuations are wide. but with I'M
deriving conditions so favorably for
the cotton manufacturing business, and
the South so tenacious in holding out
for 7 cent cotton, it is thought that
this figure will he attained for middlings
during the winter. At present QUOTA
tons, around ~ cents, we think the
market should be bought on slight de-
cines, but with the necessary protec
ton of ample margins.
