MnrlkeI Contrnct AnnuIed.

Panama, Oct. 12.--The last action Of
the Panama canal commission before
sailing from Colon for New York was
the annulment of the contract awarded
to J. E. Markell of Omaha for feeding
and caring for the employees Of the
canal. The reason for this action is
that Chief Engineer Stevens, through
the department Of materials and sup
plies under Messrs. Jackson and
Smith, is handling the commissaries
successfully rendering unnecessary the
arrangement with Mr.. Markell. Pro-
tests made by the employees against
the arrangement, it is believed, also
influenced the decision.

Advice to the Men.

Reams of advice are unlOaded upon
woman telling, instructing and admon-
ishing her how to make home pleasant,
50 that the lord and master may find
comfort therein. SO, then, why should
not some advice be given to the said
lord and master? For verify there is
more than one of them who make
home mighty unpleasant. There is the
man who does not realize that it takes
money to make home pleasant. There
is the man who does not realize that
his wife needs recreation and outside
amusement once in awhile, so that she
can continue to make home pleasant.
There is the man who does not realize
that silence and grumpiness and a
crouch now and then do not make
home pleasant There is the man who
does not realize that children must be
noisy sometimes and play and romp if
home is to be pleasant to them.-A

Snakes Are Grent Casters.

Snakes, though at times they gorge
themselves, are great fasters. In the
French museum an anaconda twenty
feet long was a very small feeder
though he gained in weight. Taken
there in 1885, he had only thirtyfour
meals during the next five years, con
sisting of a small goat or a few rab
bits. The interval between these meals
varied from twenty three to 204 days.
He would not touch food unless he was
In real need of it, and it was only by
watching him and noticing when he
seemed to be uneasy that his keepers
could conclude that he was hungry.
During the long fast, which was in
1886, many strenuous efforts were
made to tempt or force him to eat with
out the least success.

WAGONS BRING COTTON BALES
Light Receipts at the Warehouses
Still Continue.

The appearance of two or three coun--
try wagons loaded with cotton bales
upon Americus' streets yesterday at
tracted attention, as the hauling of
cotton at this season ia as unusual as
hauling .watermelons at Christmas.
There are still some 200 or 300 bales in
the country about Americus yet to be
marketed, though this cotton may be
held back until next season. There
was slight advance in the market yes-
terday, some or 10 pointe, and the
finer grades sold little above y cents.
