mise. Golden Text: Gen. 28. 15.
THE LESSON WORD STUDIES.
Based on the text of the Revised Ver-
sion
The History of Origins Resumed—The
Temperance and Easter Leseuns to
which WO have given our attention on
the two preceding Sabbaths have broken
into the continuity of our study of the
early beginnings of the Hebrew people.
To -clefs lesson pielcs tip the thread of
the Genesis narrative exaetly where we
dropped it three weeks ago. no recorded
events intervening between the lesson
for March 17 and this one. Bebekah, the
wife of Isaac, after counseling her son
Jacob to flee from the wrath of Esau to
'Alban, his uncle, in distant Ilaran, pro-
ceeds to enlist the co-operation of Isaac
in furthering her plans and enabling
Jacob to make the journey In the guise of
a suitor. rather than as an acknowledged
fugitive from .the just angel' of a. deeply -
wronged brother. To accomplish her
purpose Rebekah resorts te deception
and by Its practice succeeds in withhold-
ing froin her aged husband the real rea-
800 for desiring that ,Tarob shall without
delay proceed epee the long journey
euggested. Apparently also she succeeds
in keeping Esau from suspecting the
real purpose of the journey upon which,
shortly afterward, his brother sets forth.
Verse 1 . Isaac called Jaeob—Soon, if
not inunediately, after lite petulant Out-
break of Rebekah : "I am weary of my

MILLIONS OF SPINDLES

Over a Hundred New Mills in Less
Than a Deende—)1111 Profit on
Every Pound Spun,
New mills for the mantifueture of cot-
ton cloth ato springing up like mush-
roonte in the Laneeehlre district, of
which this city is the commercial cen-
tre. It Is pinirity apparent that the es-
timates of a recent crop of Anioeican
oolion thls year: is mainly responsible
for the peeeent boum. Neerly 11 58011
01 0151(3' Innis have been begun this yew.,
end 0 review of the last seven yeans
shows • that more Man it hundred, new
mills have' 'been .establisited In. 11110 vi-
cinity. These new ketones, together
with a large number of extensions and
111121 110101 to existing mills, fully
completed, will have We:eased the
manufacturing capacity of this district
by
OVE'R 10,000,000 SPINDLES,
This inereaee in seven years exceeds
the -total number of •existing cotton
epindles in. Germany, France, Russia,
indite or (WY other country in lire world,
except the United States. It is, how-
ever, even greater than the total num-
ber of spindles in the Southern etates,
arid equal to about 60 per cent. of the
spindloge of the Northern Stales.
A tabulated led of these new rnills
,shows that about 8,000,000 pounds in
money ($40,000,000) has beeit Involved as
eaplial. The year 1905, al. the time of
a record-breaking American crop saw
the greatest boom of recent. years In
British spinning. Forty large factories
were added 11181 year, but, in 1902 the
Increase WOS only /WO mills.
One of the mills about to be opened
is claimed to be the quickest 1)11111 11111
of equal capacity' hi the world. This is
the Drake Spinning Mill at Foroworth,
near Bolton'. It will contain 110,000
eremites from the productinn itt flne
yarns spun from Egyptian grown cot-
tons. The building was beguo just a
year ago—ii, is six stories high and 30
cr more windows in length—and it Is

rlIIllllflg 50011.

While all this 110001 in British colten-
spinning Is going on the crop estimates
of American cotton ole increasing, some
leading authorities believing that th
yield this season will be close upon 1;
0fl0,000 bales, or 500,000 bales more than
the record year or 1004-05.
If this be the output, Manchester
enantericturers say it will be a good
thing for the world, for more spindles
are golng down to consume Amerlean
cotton. 11 ts )'e 11158 strange that while

WOMAN BURIED ALIVE.

An old woman has been found prac-
tically buried alive in a wood 011 the
outskirts of Veeseilles, France, She is

body bad seen ble wife for the last two
years, but a few days ago a couple of
forest guards, while walking through
the ‘voods, weep startled by hearing a
moaning .sound, apparently from some
dry brushwood almost under their reel.
Pushing aside the brushwood, they
saw looking out of a hole In the ground
the face of en old woman. They found
that she was buried in the hole, the en-
trance to which was less then two feet

her out.
She was in a terribly emaciated con-
