then added, the two halves put togeth-

take of the spicy concoction.
Strange as it may seem, but little
inconvenience was experienced. The
slight smarting sensation in the mouth
was soon over, and no unpleasantness
was felt in the stomach. The cracker
was eaten just before retiring, and
very soon after the patient was sleep

From the Cleveland Leader.
An interesting case of prudent curiosity
concerning young men is reported from
Knoxville, Tenn. Half a dozen young wo-
men of that city havo felt themselves
wronged by tho conoealment of the names
OF certain young fellows who were caught
IN a raid on gambling house The girls
went to the deputy Sheriff who had
charge OF the capture OF tho gamestcrs,
and reproved him for keeping them in
ignorance of the names OF the men arrest
ed. He promised TO give all possible pub
liclty TO his next operations in the same
line.
The Knoxville girls said that they ought
10 know what young men were addicted
gambling, SC that they could avoid per-
sons whose habits were so dangerous.
In a very practical sense they are right
