Remarkable aud well sustained as ip the growth of the cnpitnl city , our news reports from day to day show how steady is the general progress of the whole country. The railways are com pelled to build new freight-houses , to add to their equipment , both passenger and freight , and to order new locomo tives to keep pace with the business naturally resulting from the evolution of all material interests. And the railway managers note with interest , and with some measure of astonishment ( so rapid is the development of industry ) the many new factories , some of them small , but , in the aggregate , making a notable addition to the industrial plant of Mex ico. The electrical contracting firms are continually entering into new con tracts for the providing of the apparatus needed for the transmission of power , and one can go nowhere in the interior without finding a solid aud substautial progress most gratifying to witness. Modern Mexico is a century in advance of revolutionary and turbulent Mexico ; it would seem almost that a whole cen tury had passed piuce President Diaz began his transforming and revivifying work. All these facts are known by the great capitalists abroad , who have their private means of keeping in touch with the development of the country , and hence the credit of the nation stands high. The five per cent gold bonds of the Federation are standing at 6 to 8 per cent higher than the six per cent bonds of other Latin-American coun tries , which is significant of the high esteem in which Mexico's securities are held. Gauged by the financial eye of , Europe , Mexico is the premier nation of Latin-America , and our foreign readers may rest assured that the continued growth of the country along every line of legitimate activity warrants their good opinion.

Thirty books were taken out and $1.65 was deposited , two thirds of which would have been wasted on stick otherwise thrown candy-on-a , or away. Of course you want candy ; that's all right , but you don't need al ways to be eating it. Often , yon know , a penny burns until spent , even though we do not really want that which we buy. Now things will be changed , as the burning penny will be deposited in a safe place , and at the same time grow ing larger by interest , until by Christ mas the accumulation of change will buy many a present to make happy those at home on that most glorious of mornings. Deposit slips are made out as in regu lar banking institutions and handed with the money and depositor's book to the receiving teller , who makes entry of the amount in the small book. In the afternoon the bookkeeper makes another entry of all deposits in a large book. So far over $14.25 have been deposited in the bank. "Outside of teaching how to save and not to waste , the bank has the great value of teaching the children how to attend to banking business something which many older heads do not under stand. By actually banking money themselves day after day the children soon know how to go about such things as readily as they say their A B Ca. " Washington Evening Star.
