and all wrong, if too thin already.
Fat, enough foryour habit, is
healthy; little more, or less, is
no great harm. Too fat, consult
a doctor; too thin, persistently
thin, no matter what cause, take|
SCOTS Emulsion of Cod Liver
Oil.
There are many causes Of get
ting too thin; they all come,
under these two heads: over
work and under-digestion.
Stop over-work, if you can;
but, whether you can or not,
take SCOTS Emulsion Of Cod
Liver Oil, to balance yourself
with your work. You can't live
on it--true--but, by it, you
can. There's a limit, however;
you'll pay for it.
SCOTS Emulsion of Cod Liver
Oil is the readiest cure for
"can't eat" unless it comes OF
your doing no work--you can't
long be we'll and strong, without
some sort of activity.

Annual Payment of Ten Millions.

WASHINGTON, May ia cable
gram from Mr.. Rockhill, our special COM
missioner at Picking, received at the state
department mentions tho receipt by the
ministers of the response of the Chinese
cuyoys to the ministers demands for in
demnity. The dispatch indicates briefly
that the Chinese represent that an annual
payment of S10,000,000 is the full extent
of their power to pay on indemnity ac-
count. 1t will take so years to discharge
the debt at that rate without interest.
Mr.. Rockhill makes no mention of the
subject of interest, nor does he touch up
on the means by which the money is to be
raised by China or say who is to guaran-
Tee loan necessary to be made. 1t ap-
pears that the Chinese feel themselves
obliged to submit to the powers in this
question of indemnity, as in all other
things, and, though realizing their own
inability to assume this indebtedness of
4oO.OOO,OOO taels, they feel obliged to
make the effort. Mr.. Rockhill has been
instructed to continue his efforts to Sc
cure an abatement Of the total indemnity.
but in the present disposition Of the pow
ers little hope of success Is entertained

CHINA MAKES REPLY
An Appeal to the Powers For

THE COUNTRY IS IMPOVERISHED.
The Best the Chinese Can DO Is to
Pay the Indemnity Demanded
In Thirty Animal In
sta1Imcuts,

PEKING, May 15.-The answer of
China to the statement of the ministers
OF the foreign powers as to the losses
sustained by nations and individuals in
China has been received. 1xe answer
commences with an appeal to mercy, say
ing that the country is impoverished.
The answer explains that the utmost Chi
ma can offer is 100000 taels annually
for the next 30 years. This amount will
be derived as follows: From salt, TO-.
100000 taels from the likin tax, 2,00O.-
600 taels, and from native customs,
3,00O,gOO. The communication further
ASSERTS that were this done 1t would
leave the country unable to meet the ex-
penses of government without assistance.
1t is therefore requested that the for
agn customs be increased one-third, the
receipts therefrom to be given to China
for the purpose Of government. The
ministers refuse to discuss this answer
until it has been considered by them in
meeting.

PRETORIA, May 15.-The number of
burghers who are surrendering is rapidly
increasing. These men state that the
Beers are worn out by the incessant
movements of the British troops. The
majority of the burghers who have sur
rendered are without horses, and all are
half starved and poorly clad. The local
Dutch think the advent Of winter will
witness a general surrender of the fight
ing burghers. Already the nights are bit
terly cold, and the veldt is dry. Com
mandant Beyer's force of about 400 men
is reported to be near MUSHROOM, north
of Pretoria.
