MEXICO IS NOT NEW.
But the Country Offers Great Oppor-
tunities for Renewed Development.

From Modern Mexico.
Too many people come to Mexico with the
feeling, apparently, that they are pioneers
in a newly discovered land. 1t is we'll for
Americans sojourning in the republic to re-
member that there were stately cathedrals
erected in this lard before the pilgrim
fathers landed that books were printed
here before a printing press had been erect
ed in the north country; that Cortez raised
sugar cane, and the Industrious Spaniards
of the early days took many millions from
the bowels Of the earth.
The openings that Mexico offers to capital
today are rarely the creation of original
enterprise or the development of a virgin
field The opportunities for making money
in Mexico that have been overlooked for
800 years by the hardy emigrants from
northern Spain are scarcely worth search
ing for. What modern Mexico holds out as
an allurement to foreign capital today is
the opportunity to apply improved methods
to known propositions and to take advan-
tage of changes in transportation facilities
to reach greater markets and to provide,
with increased home production, for the
growing needs of a growing nation.
In mining the foreigner who undertakes
the discovery OF new mother vein will
probably have a long and disappointing
search. On the other hand, there are in
Vulnerable mines upon which the Spaniards
were forced to suspend work many years
ago that can today, with the facilities af-
forded by improved mechanical Inventions
be readily and profitably worked.
The building of railways throughout the
length and breadth Of Mexico Las also
brought many mining, agri-
cultural and industrial-within the range
of profitable development. In some in
stances it was simply question of getting
fuel to a comparatively low grade ore
Mexico is in state Of development today
that has long since passed in most portions
Of the United States, and for that reason
many opportunities are offered for invest
ment here that no longer exist in the great
northern republic.

Repartee Made Easy.
From the London Chronicle.

We have all heard Of the "retort cour-
teous.' An industrious German, Herr
Shuch has enabled us to make the appro-
pirate, If not courteous retort, by compiling
list of some $500 insulting expressions,
and carefully classifying them. He first of
all separates them into five fundamental
classes corresponding to the different kinds
OF persons that we may feel called upon to
insult. insults for men, insults for women.
insults for either sex. insults for children
and collective insults for syndicates grouns
and corporations. 1t used to be said that
corporations had neither bodies to be kicked
nor souls to be damned, but at least ac-
cord1ng to Herr Shuch we may peIt them
with whitening insults. If a man Should be
insulted in the street or at the club he has
only to pull out of his pocket the "Schimpf-
woerter Lexicon and, finding the appro-

versary. If, in correspondence, he wish to
escape an action for SANDER he need only
pick out a choice insult and refer his enemy

The Nerve Value of Quiet,
From the Galveston News.

When the outdoor and open window sea-
son of the year rolls round, happy are they
who can escape the heat and the noise of
the city by an indefinite summer vacation
But the large majority of city dwellers can
not shut up shop and house at will, and
to many vacation means but few days
or a month off at most. So it becomes
question in which almost every one is in
tel ested, how the hot, nerve-racking days
may be rendered tolerable.
That windows and doors must be opened
to widest extent goes without saying. Ev-
cry stray breeze must be enticed indoors.
Then all at once one becomes conscious of
the medley Of insistent, irritating noises
that had previously penetrated only in SUBJ
dued fashion. The grind of car wheels the
sizz of electric wires, the Shrek of street
car gongs, whistles and bells, the blast of
locomotives, the joltiEg of heavy wagons,
the piercing notice Of, quitting time from
mill and factory, the jingle of telephone
set the teeth on edge and the nerves throb-
bling. Few people realize how much of the
daily wear and tear is occasioned by noise.

AGE OF FISHES.
Length of Life May Be Told From the
Scales.

From the London Globe.
AT the meeting of the Royal Society Mr..
j. Stuart Thomson made public by exhibits
discovery of very great consequence to
the fish supply of this country. He has
ascertained that as in the case of the bark
of some trees, the ages of many fish fur
rished with scales can be determined by
the markings of this protective armor. The
scales show, when closely examined,
series of parallel eccentric lines which indi-
cate successive increments of growth, and
a trustworthy record is thus automatically
kept of physical development. But that
would still leave the age question largely
conjectural did not Mr. Thomson add a
supplementary discovery which removes all
difficulty.
He finds that the lines of growth are more
widely separated during the warm season
than during the cold season, and by taking
the two together each years record is COM
pleted, and it becomes practicable to de-
termine at any time the number of years
the subject under examination has lived 1t
would be difficult to overestimate the value
of this scientific discovery to our fishing in
dustries, both riparian and maritime. For
the future there should not be much diff
Guilty in judging the period required for
young fry to reach maturity. Up to the
present size has been the only criterion and
that, at best, is no better than a rule Of
thumb method. But we may safely anticf-
pate that the lead thus given by Mr.. Thorn
son will be followed by fresh additions TO
our knowledge of fish.

Education in the truest sense is word
that may fifty describe any organized
scheme Of mental drill or discipline that
will draw OUT or develop the mental pow

public school and college is not to fit young
men and young women directly for the
bread winning pursuits. 1t is true as Pro-
fessor Triggs says, that 1.-The college grad

No college could be organized on such a
scale that it could give him "a place in the

are the activities Of modern industrial and

But the college and the school can sup
ply broad culture and a wide mental
equipment that will enable the graduate to
make place for himself in the CONNER

or appreciate the true value and vital func-
tions Of the foliage Of their fruit trees, or
il they do, low superbly Indifferent they
are to the ravages of the different fungous
pests that destroy them. The quality Of
this years crop of fruit and the quantity
and quality OF fruit and leaf buds for next
year depend upon the ability of the leaves
to elaborate the crude material sent up
by the root system. and furthermore with
out leaf action there can be no root ac-

lungs and the blood are to us, and If we
desire the greatest and most complete de-

quill pen, and his manuscript is not beloved

work Mr.. Gould, like the late Mr.. Glad
