CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Tribune (Rep.) says THE
statistics of homicide in the United States
for 1900 are not encouraging From 1895 to
1899 there was a steady decrease year by
year, the totals falling from 10000 to G, 225,
but this year the report shows a total of
S275, an increase over last year of 2,050.
If next year the figures increase proper
tionately the first year of the new CEN
fury will be as largely marked by crime
as was 1895. From the present outlook the
indications are that the record of the COM
ing year will be even darker, for human
life was never held cheaper than at the
present time, and hanging and lynching
make little impression. Rudyard Kipling
was not far out of the way when he said
that murder was the national crime of the
United States
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem). dis
GUESSING the status OF the Democratic
party says: "Of course. the radical chiefs
will not consent to return to the old party
principles, but they will so off and flock
with the other socialists while those who
have been radical for personal advantage
but have failed, will quickly return to
the bosom of the party, and. under able
leaders. IL will be possible. aided by the

In an address at the laying of the COR
ner stone of the Cornwell Medical College
in New York City last Saturday Gov.
Roosevelt said: Great fortunes are &C
cumulating because of conditions that OBJ
tain under our national life. We have
the moral right to demand that great for
tunes shall be used for good" The col
lege is the gift of Col. oliver H. Payne.
He seems to be one of the rich men who
is willing to devote a part of his income
to doing good. If few rich men set the
example of using their wealth for the
benefit of others there may be better quar-
tiers for the extremely poor in our great
cities before this century has advanced
very far and the number of opportunities
OF the poor for getting more happiness
out of life may be greatly increased.

Mr.. Joseph Coldwell, of Matteawan, N.
Y, suffered from some digestive malady.
He felt heavy and tired. The relish for
his meals was gone and food didn't taste as
it used to. When he did eat he had pain
in the stomach, chest and sides, bad taste
in the mouth, spells of giddiness and other
wretched feelings. The foundations of
health were growing shaky under Mr.. Cold
we'll
Mrs. NJ. Maggie of the pleasant village of
Monroe, N. Y, was upset and worried with
loss of appetite and dizziness. She had
all the wearing, distressing symptoms
which go with her complaint. She was
feeble and weary. The pedestal of health
rocked under her feet.
Yet, these people were completely cured
by Calcura Solvent, a new medicine dis
covered by DIR. David Kennedy. How
clearly these instances show us that good
health is the block we must stand on If we
would be happy and useful. Watch the
early signs of i'll health, and use Calcura

More Apple figures.

Some weeks ago the Vermont Elk
pertinent Station was responsible for
the circulation of some figures show
ing profits made in apple growing.
Briefly, these figures showed that Mrs.
Laura b. Allen of South Hero, VT,
mad cleared $lU0 an acre from fourteen
acres of orchard in 1899, and that the
crop of 1900 brought a net profit of
$IS5 an acre.
These tigures seem not to have been
satisfactory to an inquiring and cap
tlous pubic. Some persons who know
nothing about the apple business
thought it was fish story pure and
simple,-others who are growing APP
pies themselves protested that they
had done better, and that the case
therefore had been unfairly presented.
Several communications were received
on the subject by the horticulturist of
the Experiment Station, who is now
happy to add the following statistics
to those already published
Mr.. Luclan Allen, also of South
Hero, has 300 bearing apple trees, Gov
erlng between five and six acres of
land. From these he sold in New
York 257 barrels of the crop of 1900,
for which he received a gross return
of $S75.25, or an average price of $3.4O
a barrel. Freight, carriage and COM
missions ate up STATS of this sum,
leaving a net cash return of $700.5O.
These figures are taken directly from
the returns of the commission man,
(and the commission man seldom re-
turns more money than the fruit
brings.) In addition to the $700.50
received for apples sold in New York,
Mr.. Allen sold considerable quanti-
ty at home, from which he realized
an additional $198.50. This makes a
total of 1899 for the years crop, or
$3.50 to $3.50 an acre.
Another Vermont apple grower, who
objects to having his name used, but
whose accounts have been examined
and found correct, has made still more
remarkable sales. Last year his total
sales (not nett were $3,543.25 from
10R acres. One single block of trees
covering 419acres gave net return of
$1272, or over 1882 an acre clear profit
on the farming. The figures from this
orchard are not now available for pre-
vious crops; but to the writer's per
sonal and disinterested knowledge the
returns have peen almost equally good
sometimes full better-every year
for several years past. During at
least ten years there has not been a
single crop failure in this orchard.
And there are plenty more figures
like these.

Call to the Mortified Young Women's
Conference.

AS usual in the last ten years, a con-
ference of young women will be held
in Mortified from July II to %, to
which all young women are urgently
and affectionately invited. The pur-
pose of this gathering is for Christian
fellowship and to afford an opportuni-
ty to unite in prayer for spiritual
blessing upon ourselves as individuals
and on our colleges, places of business
and home life. College students,
young women engaged as wage earn
ers and daughters living at home;
young women in society, young women
of all sorts and conditions, are includ-
ed in this invitation.
Opportunity to study the Bible and
to consider the methods of Christian
effort and missionary progress, will
be afforded under eminent speakers
from home and abroad; and there will
likewise be time for pleasant social
intercourse and recreation. Those
who would grow in earnestness and
conservation, those who are conscious
of a desire for something more than
they have hitherto known of the re-
ality of the Christian life, will find
great help and enduring power in this
conference. We ask young women
to come and spend ten beautiful days
of summer in a beautiful place in
united prayer and praise to Christ.
We ask those who cannot come to
remember the conference in their pray
ers, and we issue this call in His
name, Who has pledged his presence
and benediction, wherever His disci-
pies meet.

For the Mortified Committee.

Miss Hall states that if the price of tn
iton and board was increased above the
present 500, which is only one-haIf the
actual expense, many of the girls could
not raise the amount. Miss Hall speaks
of the work in many departments and the
needs of the schools. A science hall is
much needed. The number of applica-
tons for the coming year is larger than

The students aid society met Monday,
