Continuing his remarks in this the speaker
declared that to his mind the most singular
| thing about this whole business is the fscI
that while Maine capital flows westward for
investment, foreign capital is constantly
and stesdily coming to Maine for investment
| and giving TO the State large share of il
prosperity. What is it, he said, "but
foreign capital that started ard runs the
cotton mills Of this State, which turns
out an annual product Of SIS 600. 600,
and give employment to over
Ii ,000 operatives. 1t is foreign capital
that is now esisblishing the largest sulphite
pulp mill in this country at Madison at q
cost OF 81 ,00o. 000. Il is foreign capital
sha. owns our railroad bonds, our State
bends and which is constantly seeking
investments in this State which Maine capt.
tai ignores. II has slwsys seemed strange
TO me that Msine men cannot view home
investments in different light than they
do. can't for the life Of me see why they
don't get their eyes open and shake the per-
simmons down ia Maine instead Of going
2 600 miles away to drop their money. OF
course they have the right to make Invest
menfs wherever they please, but il does
seem to me that i. would be better fr them
to take hold aud help boom Maine"

The report Of the statistician of the
Department Of Agriculture, now ii
press, shows an increase since April Of
last year Of more than 100 per cent. in
the price Of corn and oats, thirty pei
cent. Ard more In wheat in primitive
markets, thirty-two per cent. in Chicago
for choice beeves and three and one
fourth for Texans, and advanced values
of all cereals and meats. 4 hopeful and
cheerful feeling is noticed, says the
report, In official correspondence from
all parts Of the country. The elimina
ton Of the surplus OF corn and oats
through the underproduction of last
year insures good prices for those crops
and the shortage of the wheat of the
world for two years, with the low foreign
prospect for the growing crop, promises
the largest foreign demand for ten
years at remunerative prices. Fortu-
nately present appearances indicate abil-
ity to meet such demand with ease.

One OF the trlumphs of electric light
ing is the lighting of the Suel canal,
which though quite recent thing is so
helpful to vessels going through the
canal by night that already 81 per cent.
of the vessels passing the canal use the
light. Iu 1887 the total number of yes.
sells In transit was 3i37, Of which only
.'95 used the light, or Il per cent.
Last year the number in transit
was 1888, of which 1896 used the
light, showing sevenfold increase
between lSs7 and 1890. The enormous
facilitation Of transit explains these
figures. In 1886 the average time for
the passage OF the canal was about full
day and half, or thirty-six hours. In
1857, with the introduction of the arc
light for the work of Illuminating the
waterway the time was cut down to 81
hours aud ~ minutes. Last year the
average time WAS only ~ hours and six
minutes. The shortest passage was made

How 70 Study this Lesson.

Look up all you can about Jonah, and
Places in Bible History.
Read the first two chapters OF the book
of Jonah.
Remember that he was prophet, and
on the whole good man, although at one
time he yielded to great temptation and
disobeyed God. But he soon repented
and returned to obedience.
1t was very hard task that God put
upon Jonah. o. He was 10 go long
and dangerous journey. ~ He was to 20
to great city, the capital of a powerful
nation. 81 He was TO go alone as a
prophet. (4l The people were idolators.
(5) They were warlike, cruel, proud and
treacherous. 90 He, a lone. unknown
man, was to tell these people that they
were very wicked, and that they must re-
pent, or their city would be destroyed.
thus Jonah was very much afraid to
obey God. He did not expect to get home
alive For a moment he forgot to trust
God, and started 10 90 just as far as pos
sib.e IN an exactly opposite direction,
over the Mediterranean sea, to Tartessus
of Spain.
Study carefully Gods dealings with
him-how everything He did was in
mercy, to make him see his sin and re-
pent, and feel Gods power so great that
he could trust him everywhere. and be
ready to obey.
Note that Jonah's Elm brought other
people into danger. So it ever is.
