Parliamentary Life at Vienna

DONISYBROOK IN THE REICHS RATH. The disorderly element m the Retcbrath oot-did itself on March 5 h, when a scene occurred which conJd probably not ho surpassed m violence by any In the history of that assembly. Pursuing tleir recently adopted policy of obstruction, one of tfa« Czech Deputies, named Saszvorka, .had for some time been holding forth m Czich when the Pan "Germans protested, and asked the Vice President, who waa m the chair, to stop him. The Vice' President thereupon said : - " I mn&t warn you that you have no right to epeak about the Protocol." M Saszvorka answered m German :—"I must warn the Vice-Pres!* dent'that he is not to ioterrnpt me." *16 is not you who have to warn me, bob I who warn yon,' replied the Vice Presi dent. " Aud now lam ga;ng to ai-k yon to stop speaking." A tremendeas np» roar iiom the Oaechs followed • and. i when the Vice President took ap the^list • of tpeakers for the day frtra his desk, Hesr Freeßl, the member of thsfc party who last week attempted to post bills on the walls of the Chamber, left his place, hurried to tho President's table, and ihe list and. tore it to pieces, shouting m Czach the whib The Pan-German Deputiea were not behindhand. With Herr Mal;k at their head, they rushed to tt.e Pt esideuo. Her* Milik seized Herr Freesl by the collar, knocked him down, and draggedhlm do*n thflstep?. Herr Freed'a behaviour had flvidently grea'.ly incensed the German Deputies of the moderate parties also, and several joined In the fray. Between them all they soundly thrashed the offending Depnty. Ah ha lay on the floor fist* hailed on his head and back, only a few of the Radical Czechs helping him j%nd he w&s at last pushed out of the hall, bleeding from the nose and the back of his head. When Herr Frees! retarned, the din pate began againj but now the Csech rose and expressed their Indignation, declaring that Herr Frees! and the other Radicals were compromising the good name of the Czech people.

When they put a mm m gaol he cannot, fol low his natural inclina tion. His enjoyment of life ialimited. Hecannot eat, what he wants to. He is limited to a very frugal diet, He is alive, to ho sate, but life doesn't possess very many advautagos. Are not all these things tqually true of the dyspeptic ? For all the real enjoyment he gets out of life, he might m well be m gaol. H« cannot eat what he likes, nor as triuoh of it as he would like. If he transgresses any of the rales of his diet, he it punished for it* He suffers much ; gets little sympathy. Dyspepsia starts with indigestion,

and may lead to almost) anything. Indigestion means a variaty of thinge-it shows itself m many way*. At first, perhaps, a little heaviness m tht stomach, a .it*le Bournes*, windy Jwlohingt, and heartburn. Headaches begin io oomt pretty soon after that, and biliousness nod a foul taste m the mouth m the morning. Chronic constipation ia almost inevitable, and it ia probably tbe most serious trouble thab ever takea hold of a roam Its seeming simplicity is the thing thab makes it moil daDgerous, because ife leads to negleot. Constipation means that) the body is holding poiJonou?, impure matter, that should b got rid of. The poison is being reabsofb* into the blood, and tbe whole body/ being filled wi'.h it. Impurity m fib blood may Send to almost any diieMft There is no telling what may come of it And yob people are careless about it. It 11 the moßb serious thing m the world, and tb« easiest to care if you go about it tight, Dt Morse's Indian Root; Pills cure Constipation.
