OLIVE scHREINER ON PARAs1TIsM.

The fact cannot be too often dwelt upon that
parasitisn is not necessarily connected with any
definite amount of wealth. Any sum supplied
to individuals which will so far satisfy them
to enable them to live without eXertion may alb
so.ute.y PARASITIC them while vast wealth (un-
healthy it's effects tend TO he) may upon GER
taiE and noble natures exert hardly any
enerVatinG deieteriOuS influence. An amusing
illustration of the different points at which
CnerVati0n is reached by different females came
under our own observation. The wife of an
American millionaire was visited by woman,
the daughter and also the widow of a small
professional man, who stated that she was in
need of food and clothing. The millionaire's
dresses. The woman proceeded to whine, though
in vigorous health. that she had no one to carry
them home for her, and could not think of carry

Of generations of able, labOring New England
Puritan women, tucked the leg of mutton under
and the bundle Of clothes under the
other and walked off down the street followed
by the astonished pauper parasite.
The most hopeless Of female degeneration
we ever came into contact with that of the
daughter of a poor English officer half pay
W ho had to exist few hundred year. This
woman could neither cook her own food nor
make her own clothes nor was she engaged in
any social political intellectual labor of any
kind Whatsoever. Though able to dance for
night or to play tennis for afternoon, she was
yet hardly able do her own hair attire

costly mistakes, while the avenues to great sue

OF Mexico have not yet been closed, and the most
tempting opportunities remain.
III Is. therefore, reasonable to expect that the
next decade will witness unusual progress in
Mexican Industrial life. In mining systematic
methods of prospecting and surveying are being
employed; water power is being investigated
ana developed, and the railway system of the
country is receiving important additions, open
ing up promising regions that were hitherto al
most inaccessible, and thus giving an impetus
TO the development of the rich agricultural lands
or Southern Mexico. Indications of progress
along these lines afforded by the formation
OF large prospecting companies backed by the
most conservative American and European capi-
tai, by the establishment of the great water
power plants OF Mexico City and OriZaba by
the opening of scores of tropical plantations
and by the movement of railway consolidation
and construction now in progress. Thus the
