Rank Discrimination Charged.

The reason for the difference Is because
the railroads charge 8 cents per mile out
of Washington, while in the state of Vir-

This fact, the members of the committee

A Good Landlord.

He must be a good landlord. for every
body about the place speaks in the kindest
terms of him, and We could see that he
takes kindly interest in his tenants be-
cause. on our way to the castle. we had to
cross a playground that he has arranged
for their children. There are a track for
running races, bicycle contests and field
sport. d maypole, number of swings,
dancing pavilion and other accessories for
amusement and exercise. The young men
we found on the grounds told that an
athletic contest was coming off Thursday
with prize Of $40 to the champion ham,
mer thrower, s. to the second and $40 TO
the man or 10 shillings for the boy I'M
der sixteen who ran the fastest mile
These prizes are offered by Sir George
himself. and he personally superintends
the contest, which is an unusual conde-
scensiOn for an Irish landlord. Outside
his demesne, that lis. his own immediate
park and the gardens that surround his
mansion. he has 1900 acres leased. He is
on most excellent terms with all his ten

The Clancartys.
The new Earl of Clancarty,. who got
considerable money with his wife. who
was the daughter of Lord Montjoy. built
q modest mansion out in the sunshine, on
an eminence near by. The castle. like all
the strongholds of the Irish chieftains of
that age, is down in the glen. The reason
for selecting that location was the neces-
sity of having access to water in case of
seige. Several of the Clancartys took a
distinguished part in political and military
affairs; one of them was an ambassador,
and they have been brave soldiers. The
present earl is Richard Somerset lie Poer
Trench, and he lives at Garbally. County

GERM OF A BAD COLD.

One of the most difficult germs to
identify is that of the only too familiar
complaint known as the bad cold--the
cold which affects most particularly
the throat and nasal passages, and
which signifies an uncomfortable SICK
ness, all the more eXasperating because
it is given so little sympathy. As
matter of fact, several different kinds
of microbes are concerned in the pro-
duction of this special malady-half
dozen of which are being fed on hottie
food at the Washington laboratory
and nobody has yet been able to find
out which one of the lot is chiefly
guilty, says the Chicago Tribune.
Living under such artificial coudS-
tions as we dove are all of us like
dollhouse plants--a slight chill produces
a congestion in the membraneous lin
ing of the breathing passages and as u
result a LEGAL congestion follows. At
once the hostile microbes--always pres
ent in numbers in the nose and throat
get busy, feeding upon the tissues,
and trouble follows. Not only do they
create good deal of local irritation,
but incidentally they excrete poisonous
products, which find their way into the
blood and are carried by its stream to
all parts of the body, causing thar
general feeling of lassitude and dis
comfort WHICH is characteristic of such
a cold.
Maybe the new vaccine treaE-
ment may prove to be of value as "a
preventive of grip the next time b
serious epidemic of that malady sweeps
the country. It's germ is already iden-
tilted, and, as a matter of course, Rs
kept in stock at the factory in WSsS-
ington. One of the smallest of disease
producing microbes, it is also one OF
the most difficult to grow requiring
either human blood or pigeon IS blood
as food 1t is a bacillus, or rod-shapet
organism, and, as now known, it pro
duces quite variety of complaints.
according to the part of the body sn
which it finds Judgment. In the
throat and lungs it starts up one kind
of complaint, in the intestines another,
and in the nervous system another, and
/ it even attacks the membrane that COW
ers the brain sometimes, inducing
kind of meningitis.
