She shall inflict the death pen? alty upon 11 princes and offioials already earned and suspended provincial examinations for five years where the outrages occurred. Io future all effi oials failing to prevent anti-foreign outrages within their jurisdiction shall bo dismissed and punished. (This is a modification of Mr Congcr'c proposal.) "Indemnity ?hall be paid to tbe States, corporations and individuals "The rsungii yamen has been abol? ished and its functions vested in a for* ctgn minister. Rational intercourse shall be permitted with the emperor, as io civilized countries The forts at Taku aod tho other forte oo the coasl of Chi Li ehail be rszed and the importations of war material prohibited.

Commenting upon what it oalls Mi Conger's "excellent suggestion for the dismissal of offioials permitting anti foreign outrages," tbe Times remark! tbat "tbis ia tbe ooly considerable addition to the term? which the minis tera proposed to submit to China last month," it says that "American sense of justioe and humanity is too strong aod American intelligence to keeo tc be deluded by the pitiful Chioeae ap peal against the exeoutioo of the Pao Tiog Fu offioials. CHINESE STIRRED BY RECENT EVENTS Ezeoution of High Officials Is Deeply Resented. Washington, Net 12.?It is under? stood tbat tbe Chinese authorities at Pekin have been profoundly aroused by some of tbe executions of Chinese offi? oials wbiob have occurred of late, and that tbey have made known in an offi? cial way their surprise and regret that this should occur while the peace nego? tiations arc going on It appears that tbe exeoution of tho acting viceroy of Chi-Li it* looked upoo II peculiarly reprehensible and ban been the main ouu-o of tbe presmt intense feeling of tbe Chinese officials at Pekin. This anting viceroy served during tho ab? sence of Li Hung Cbanfj at I'cktn, oc? cupying his Yemen and in ull ways executing Barl Li'i functions while he wan conducting lbs pcaoo me>ston. His headquarters were established at Pao Ting Fu, whence the allied foreei under tbe Guttuen commander recently di? rectcd their expedition.

BY H B, GEER. Any one contemplating the use of an incubator tbc coming winter, if not already provided with one, should buy now To wait until About ready to start up, is a very serious error It takes a new beginner a batch or two to get the run of an incubator, hence, November aud December should be the experimental season, in order to have the machine well in hand by the first of January Then the great value of the incubator as a ready instrument for getting out early chickens may be fully realized. A 200 egg artificial batcher that will bring forth for us, say 150 chicks io January, 150 in February, and an equal number in March, will demon? strate its utility and value, beyond question Those months are the three in the twelve that compose a year, wheo the service of an incubator counts for something It scarcely pays to hatch incubator chickens during the summer, nor yet, in the fall, but it does pay to hatch them from January 1 to April 1 or 15. Still, batching does not raise the chickens. It simply puts them in our bands to raise, and then comes the rub in growing chickens without hens On the average, not more than one half of the incubator hatched chickens live to be old enough for us to tell whether they are cockerels or pullets. They die from over crowd? ing and imuioper food Of course it is not posrsibio in a short article to give a great amount of experience in raising chickens in brooders But, ~ may say, that, in the little experience I have had in that line, I have found that it pays to have brooders enough to divide the little chickens into small broods ; and have the brooders so placed that they can get on to the ground, and out in the sun and air from the very first. If this is not done, they weaken when together in large numbers, and if kepi in the brooder they take on a sort of an artiScial, or mushroomy growth, and then have to be seasoned to out door conditions later which causes a sec? ond loss They must be toughened from the very first or they suffer later on, wheo they face natural condi? tions Let there be a good shed overhead, and an opea run attached to the brooder, no matter if it be the winter season But, nt the ssme time, have the brooder agoing us ? warm retreat for the chickens when they begin to get chilly The little fellows soon learn the rounds, and they run to the interior cf the brooder when cold, just the same as they will huddle under their mothers, when running with a ben. Feed brooder chirk*"" often, bat only ? einall quantity at a time, and have some millet seed or other small grain to chaff for them to scratch after Use your favorite hcekiller regu larly, to keep the chicke free of lice. My preference for this purpose ie ordinary kerosene oil. Nashville, Teon.
