In the House of Commons last night, Sir John Gorst submitted the India budget, and said that the increase in the Salt revenge was due to traders placing stocks of salt, in bund, in anticipation of a reduction in the tax on that article. The increase in the tax on salt has effected, no-change in the consumption. A further outlay of Rs. 750,000 was" necessary for frontier railways, and Rs. 250,000 for defences, Sir John said there was no fear of a centralized India, since the settled policy of the Indian Governinent is to encourage the financial, legis lative, and administrative independence of the provinces. The conversion of 4 per cent, securi- ties would effect a saving. of 266,000 annually. Mr. Bradlaugh advocated the abolition of the duly on silver plate, and alleged that the Famine Fund had not been honestly disbursed.
Sir Roper Lethbridge spoke in favour of a Royal Commission being appointed to eaquire Into the Government of India.
Sir John Gerst, in reply, explained that the surplus of the Famine fund had been spent on railways, irrigation and in reduction of debt, and in lessening the chance of famine by assisting the transpart of food. He hoped soon to be able to announce the abolition of the Outstill system. The Bengal Government, he said, he agreed to provide the land for the Umballa-Delbi Railway, and the line would be worked by the East India Railway, which would receive one-half of the gross receipts, but no other subsidy. After twenty-five years, the Government would be entitled to purchase the line on a twenty-five years' purchase, based on the average revenue of the last five years.
Lord Cross, in reply to a question in the House of Lords, said the Government had no intention of annexing Cashmere, and hoped that the Maharajah would resume his power so zoon as the situation in that quarter had been remedied.
The Directors of the different London Dock Companies held a meeting yesterday, at which It was deci ed to refuse to grant the demands of the labourers, that they should be paid six pence an hour, and that their daily payment should not be less than two shillings.

From what has been said in the foregoing it will be seen that what are generally accepted as symptoms of "kidney trouble,” 'with but few exceptions, do not point to those organs, but origin-te in some other part of the system.

Doubtless more an nine-tenths of all the cases which the patient's themselves believe to be kidney trouble are actually due todisorders of the liver and stomach. A cloudiness of the excretion is assumed to be evidence of kidney disturbance, and yet that ap pearance is much the oftenest noted in patients who are simply bitious. In fact, in kidney trouble ST.

Persons who sleep in cool rooms in winter are fiequently disturbed by the thick appearance of the excretion and led to dose themselves, notwithstanding the fact that they are feeling well. That condition observed is really of no consequence, and simply precipitated by the action of cold and appears in health-the-solid constituents are readily dissolved again if heat is applied. A sediment in the excretion is common in ho! weather and generally appears during the subsidence of a febrile attack, even if slight. Another symptom, which is almost always con- strued as an evidence of "kidney trouble," is a pain in the back. That is a very common error. Pain may occur in diseases of the kidney, but it

A quart and one pint is about the normal for twenty-four hours. If the quantity falls much below that, and no reason such as we have stated appears for it, then it is evident that. The popular remedy in those cases is gin, which the kidneys are less active than they should be. cannot be sanctioned. Another is sweet spirit of nitre. A few correct doses of that, taken at intervals, can do no harm. From one-ball to one teaspoonful in a tumbler of water is the dose for an adult, and it may be repeated, if needed, every three or four hours until three or four doses have been taken. Pro- longed use is quite certain to upset the stomach. Better than either of these, to stimulate the action of the kidneys, is cream of tartar water.

and the light mist rapidly floating away only threw a fairy glamour over the exquistie scenery. Akishi is a little town at the foot of thickly wooded hills. It is one of the nurselings of the Japanese Government, but, biberto, has not been thriving quite so vigorously as was expected, Still, it will probably be an important place same day. At present there are not more than three or four hundred people, and the delicious quiet of the surrounding country is almost unbroken. The Ainos are in a minority, and are mostly to be found in small outlying villages. In many respects, they are an interesting race, and much finer,physically than the Japanese; as a rule they have blue eyes, but their hair is of the same colour as that of the latter race. They seldom allow the scissors of the barber to touch their tangled locks, and this perhaps accounts for the appellation, hairy Ainos. The vulgar idea that their bodies are entirely covered with long hair is a misconception, or, at any rate, a gross exaggeration. They have the reputation of being far more honest and truthful than the japanese.
