Sale of FOiSnnS.

A matter of no small interest to druggists is the amendment to the law which went into effect May 1st of the year regarding the sale of poisons. The new and most interesting feature of it is that it makes it a finable offence to sell certain articles without labelling them sPoison." Most of the list always have been so labelled in every we'll regulated drug store but there are some dealers to which it will be little strange at first. The familiar laudanum and aqua ammonia bottles must now be decorated with the poison label, and in answering the customary call for "Quar- ter's worth of opium." or ''Ten cents worth of creosote," the poison label must not be

thu hired girl to place basket out at the
back door with plate in it, every night,
and at an early hoar in the morning, gen.
orally before any one was up about the
place, the baker would leave dozen
steaming hot rolls in the basket for the
morning meal. During that terribly cold
weather was looking out of my window
one morning, and saw the baker put the
rolls in the basket. No sooner had he got

shed, apd jumping into the basket, spread
itself over the hot rolls, and was soon en-

and started to open the door, the cat leaped

THAT PENSION AGAIN.

Several months ago it leaked out
III some way that Judge Houk had
secretly procUred for himself pen~
sion and had drawn large sum Of
money thereon, and that the better
to preserve the secret from his con-
stituentS he had procured the pay
mentS to be made at Washington
instead of at Knoxville, where other
pensions in this district are paid
For many weeks we have earnestly
and persistently sought for ilforma>
ton from Judge Houk and his
Knoxville organ, i'll regard to this
pension. We have urged
them to tell Judge Houk's
constituents whether he had
obtained pension, and for what
amount What was the nature of
his disability Who were the witt
nesses who proved it, and why, if
his claim was au honest one, did he
so carefully seek to conceal it in the
Office at Washington?
Our diligent efforts to obtain in
formation from the battle-scarred
hero of the pension and his organ
were of no avail. We tried gentle
suggestions, and sharp prodding,
and direct inquiry, with no effect
No oyster was ever more silent. The
organ appeared week after week and
gave no sign, and Houk, drunk OF
sober, would make no admissions.
But at last the concern is forced
to recognize that Houk's constitu
ents are forced to know the facts
and after long weeks of parturItior
the editor of the Republican, in his
issue of last week, is delivered Of
the statement that Judge Houh does
draw pension, and that the editor
knew it all the time. Very well
then why didn't you say so, weeks
ago7 Certainly, an honest, WE'LL
earned pension is not a thing to be
