PROGKKSS OF MEXICO.
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. Mexican Herald.

interest per mouth , opened on Friday ,
September 12. 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. "
