THE UNTERHAUS AGAIN.

Austrian Lawmakers Break All Records
in the Way Of Wild Disorder.
VIENNA, Nov. 26.-The members of
the lower house of the reichsrath have
excelled themselves in producing the
most disgraceful scene yet witnessed in
that branch of parliament. The tur.
bulence resulted from a motion that
only one of o number of similar peti.
tions against the ordinance making the
Czech language coordinate with the
German in Bohemia should be read and
printed. The members Of the Left
party protested uproariously against
the motion referred to. stigmatizing it
as oppressive and illegal" Finally

sccue Of the Widest Disorder.
Challenges to fight duels and showers
Of billingsgate and other insults were
exchanged on all sides, until the inte.
rior Of the house in every way resem-
bled an inferno.
A number of young Czechs and Poles
made rush for the presidents tribune
and attempted to tear Dr.. Wolff down
from the position which he occupied,
and they in turn were attacked by a
number of Leftists and disgraceful
scrimma9e was the result. This was
only the beginning Of the fighting.
During the preliminary scuffling some
of the young Czechs struck DR.. Wolff
and this caused such an uproar that a
regular pitched battle with fisticuffs
followed, lasting for about a quarter Of
an hour. One deputy was stabbed in
the hand. another had his collar bone
broken and third received q severe
scalp wound.

ATHENS, Nov. 26.-The cabinet crisis
which grew out of the defeat of the

the question of appointing committee

It: is Easy to Tel

People who fail to look after their
health are like the carpenter who neg
lects to sharpen his tools. People are
not apt to get anxious about their
health soon enough. If you are mot
quite well'' or half sick" have you
ever thought that your kidneys may
be the cause of your sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside
your urine or twenty-four hours; a
sediment Or settling indicates an UNI
healthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
Of kidney trouble. Too frequent de-
sire to urinate, scanty supply, pain
or dull ache in the back is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
There is satisfaction in knowing
that the great remedy DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, fulfills every wish in re-
lieving weak or diseased kidneys and
all forms of bladder and urinary trou-
bles. Not only does Swamp-Root give
new life and activity to the kidneys
the cause Of trouble, but by treating
the 4lidneys it acts as tonic for the
entire constitution. If you need a
medicine take Swamp-Root- cures.
Sold by druggists, price fifty cents
and one dollar, or by sending your adj
dress and the name of this paper to
DR.. Kilmer & Co. Binghamton, N. Y,

great discovery sent to you free by

teral and the whole allowed to boil
for ten minutes; the vessel is then
taken from the fire and allowed to
partly cool, when it is added to the
prepared bath.
Hay flowers consist of the remains
of stalks, leaves, blossoms and seeds,
even the hay itself An oat-straw bath
is made by boiling the stalks and
heads of oats for One-half hour in
kettle and then pouring the decoction
into the tub. Shave grass is prepared
in the same manner by boiling the
stem, cone and spore. Equisetum ar
vesne is the botanical name of shave
grass. which is a medicinal herb of
great value. Taken internally in form
of a tea it purifes the stomach; eX-
ternally in the bath it washes away
and dissolves all that is injurious. The
uses of the herb are manifold; for in
stance, in cases of violent bleeding a
the nose a decoction of shave grass
drawn up into the nostrils gives i'm
mediate relief. A supply of shave
grass should be kept in every home
dispensary, that in time of need it
may be quickly at hand.
For the pine-sprig bath gather the
sprigs, the fresher the better,
small branches, even resinOus pine
cones, cut them in bits, put
into bag and boil for one
half hour. The chief effect of a sprig-
bath is on the skin, which is brought
into activity by it, and on the blood
vessels, which it strengthens. More
over, it is fragrant and delightful. For
the mixed bath herbs and flowers of
various kinds are used; this is in case
the due quantity of any one cannot
be procured.
A word apropos of the duration of
such tubbings. A warm flower bath
may last one-quarter of an hour, fol-
lowed by a cold shower lasting pos
sibly one minute, no longer. Flower
and herb baths may be taken two or
three times a week.

Russia's government has just dis
patched one of its shrewdest diplomats
to Cabul for the purpose of securing the
cooperation and sanction of the emlr
of Afghanistan for the construction of
a branch railroad from the capital of
A~fghanistan to a point where it would
tap the great Transsiberian line. Rus
STA looks forward to extending eventual
ly this branch road farther south until
1t finally reaches the British Indian
railroad system. When that is COM
pleted, people will be able to go all the
way by rail from Paris to Calcutta
without leaving the railroad carriages.
The construction of a trolley car line
from Cairo to the pyramids has now
been followed by the placing of asteam-
boat ON the river Jordan, which makes
the journey from Jericho to Tiberias-
that is to say, from the Dead sea to the
lake Of Galilce-in about seven hours.
