Help for the Rescue Home.

A debt of $500, in the form of two notes nearly due, hangs over the Res cue Home. and Captain Berryman of the Salvation Army is working hard to relieve it of the lien resting upon it. No other debt stands against it, and the Salvation Army will have lit tie difficulty in conducting the Home, crowded though it may become and really is at present. when the debt burden is discharged.
 Those of our people who consider the weak and distressed will certainly lend hand in paying off the debt. The Home is in excellent working COT. dition, and is bringing relief and help where it is sadly needed. The re- sources of the Salvation Army are strained to conduct it, and all it asks is that the debt resting on the new in. stitution be discharged.
 The Age Herald appeals to it's read CTS to come to the relief of the Salva. tion Army. All churches and all good people should lend hand in this work by contributing something towards the payment of the debt of $1500. That debt should be wiped out this week.

SOUTHERN BERRIES MOVING.

Jackson, Miss, April 1S.-Tne Missis- sippi strawberry has liegun to go north, and in a few more days. if they are not already doing so, strawperries will be moving by the carload
 Berry growing has come to pe a great industry in Mississippi, and it is going to be still greater in few years more. The movement for the reduction of the acre. age to cotton is going to have some infiu- ence in that direction The farmers of the state have discovered that they can make more cash off If fruits and vege- tables, and there are alrea..s cries about "overproduction" in some quarters
 Those who talk about the danger of overproduction do not stop to think of the millions of northern and eastern mouths that are to be 4ed on early vege- tables by the southern growers. There are 800 cities in the United ~sates that have a population of more than 10000; 70 that have a population of 50,000; 40 of 100 00O; 20 of 100000; 13 of 300,0O0; six of 5OOOo0; one with 100000; one with 2,00O,- OOo and one with S.O0OOO0. The southern farmer is in position to supply the ta- bles of these teeming millions with the first and the best of fruits and vegeta- bles, and they are beginning to do so.

Exports of Gold.

Heavy shipments of the yellow metal continue to be made. In eight months we sent away $84,300,000 in gold, and our prduction of gold in 1901 was but $84,551 O00. We are now drawing on the stock accumulated be- fore 1904.
 The continued shipments of gold do not affect the price of money in this country, and it has no bearing upon the trade situation. We seem to send gold away becaac, Europe wants it and we do not.
 Our merchandise balance is over a million dollars a day in our favor. Our Panama canal payments have been met. True, we have little wheat to sell and the war in the far east may operate to promote gold shipments Our commercial balance is smaller of late than it has heretofore been, but
 
 it is still large, and yet gold ship ments continue to be made. No one pays much attention to them, although we are sending away gold to the ex. tent of about ten millions a month.
 Money is, however loaned at low rates, prices of securities are advanc- ing, railroad earnings are large, and the country is bubbling with prosper fly. So long as these conditions are maintained no one will trouble them selves over Europe's cry for gold, or it's steady shipment from this side of the water.

Business With Reeears.

saw an example of fine business sa- gaeity on the part of two street mendi- eants yesterday" said an observant man last night.
 'On one of or crowded corners man and woman, both blind, stood confused by the noise and traffic, hesitating to make the crossing alone Presently a manly looking little boy stepped out from the throng and guided the couple safely across the street. When across, the lad turned up the street and let the beg gars alone His kind and thoughtful at tention elieited complimentary remarks from some of the people who had seen the action
 passed down the next block in a few minutes and there the same couple We're standing on the corner, apparently afraid to cross unassisted. When out from the 'madding crowd steps our same knight errant and escorts the afflicted ones to the opposite corner The young mans conduct again attracted notice and l think prompted the giving of more than one coin contributed at that corner.
 T suppose the boy was the child of the mendicants and that he was with them only at crossings for the reason that his childish gallantry and their utter loneli- ness would excite greater pity
