Ruled Consumption Infectious.

A novel case recently decided i'll
Ireland was Gwynne VS.. Clarke in the
Monaghan county court, where the de-
PENDANT as executor of one Clarke
was sued for damages because Clarke
had obtained lodgings from the plain
tiff under the false representation
that he was not suffering from an
infectious disease. Plaintiff asked
Clarke at the time he applied if he
didn't have consumption and the lat
ter was admitted on his assurance
that he had congestion of the lungs.
He died later of consumption. The
testimony at the trial showed that
the plaintiff was unable to rent his
lodgings for long time because of
Clarke's occupancy, but the defendant
argued that consumption is not an
infectious disease. The court held
that what little authority existed on
the point was entirely in plaintiffs
favor and ruled that since Clarke
falsely represented that he didn't have
consumption he was liable to pay
damages.

Two Armies.

Last month was celebrated at Leip-

tie of the Nations" which ended Ma
poleon's domination of central Eu-
rope At the same time the American
Electric Railways association was
holding it's annual meeting at Atlantic
City. This body represents the en-
ployment of over 100000 people-a
number about equal to that of the
allied forces at Leipsic. These work
ers are trained and exercised daily in
steadiness, industry, efficiency; in the
instant recognition of fact and skilful
response to the call of duty. BY these
things they live and, SO doing, they
play a great part in the life of their
time. The resulting spirit of help
fulness is proved by the action taken
for pensions, insurance and profit
sharing. In comparison with this
triumphant army of peace how fan
tastic is the glory of the men who
met at Leipsic to kill each other a
hundred years ago!-Collier's

And all the clouds are black;
There's nothing fair that one may see
And nothings as 1t ought to be,

When you've had a raise Of pay.

It is under the compulsion Of

imperative duty that have a

the heated season of the year Is
upon as, that work in these cham
bers and in the committee rooms
is likely to become a burden as
the season lengthens, and that
every consideration Of personal
convenience and personal com
fort, perhaps, in the cases of some
of US, considerations Of personal
health even, dictate an early con-
clusion of the deliberations of the
session: but there are occasions
Of public duty when these things
which touch US privately seem
very small; when the work TO be
done is so pressing and so fraught
with big consequence that we
know that we are not at liberty
