OF the many industries that flourish
under the great white hive of the Capitol
building and help forward the making OF
the law none is more fascinating to watch
than the manner in which Congress is re-

Mexico has 4 variety of soils, some very
rich and some not worth cent an acre.
Mexican Mines.
How about the mines?'
Mexico is very rich in minerals, but 1t
has been mined for centuries. 1t is esti-
mated that more than four billion dollars
worth of gold and silver have been taken
out of the earth there. The mining has
gone on steadily since the days of Cortez.
Alexander Humboldt, who, among his other
scientific attachments, had those of min
ing engineer, said that there were three
thousand mines In operation in Mexico
when he went through that country about
100 years ago. The Mexicans are good
miners They know the value of their own
product and they are shrewd dealers.
Americans going there should investigate
carefully. If they do so they may make
their fortunes, for the country is undoubt-
eddy rich.

Woman and Literature.


There is at least difference OF opinion
in regard to the alleged dstaste of women
Tor severe and systematic reading One
critic in the National Review asserts that
neither for pleasure nor on principle do
they study books which would cultivate
their minds and give them broad and stable
views OF life. Another makes the comfort
ing statement that the good, or, as they are
called, the solid books taken by women
from the English circulating libraries are
IN the proportion of two to five-a very
creditable average NJ. Ernest Quentin

but Mr.. Andrew Lang is of the opinion that
some of these ladies loved their libraries
even to the reading point. Books and art.

on the different branches of the railways.
Such men belong to unions, but their or
ganizations are usually branches of the
trades unions OF the United States The
chief labor of Mexico is made up of poems,
the descendants of the native Indians. They

outs are comparatively unknown.
Give me some idea of wages, general,
said /.
wages are low" replied our ambassador
to Mexico. ''rwenty-fiv cents a day Is
paid for ordinary farm labor in most parts
of the country, and In the factories the
wages are proportionately small. The hours
are long and on the farms the men work
from sunrise to sunset, with s.esta at
noon.
Chinese Cheap Labor.

nese are coming into Mexico by the thou
sands"
such statements are probably exagger-
ated" was the reply. There are not many
Chinese in Mexico and they are admitted
at only one OF two ports In order that the
character of those coming In may be care
fully investigated.

'They have three colonies" replied the
ambassador, two in the Braves district

about how many foreigners are there in
Mexico?'
Comparatively few Less than one hun
dred thousand, 1 should say"
Americans in Mexico.
"Are there many Amerioans?'
Eyes, more than those of any foreign ma
tonality excepting the Spanish. There are
fifteen or sixteen thousand of our people
there. All, SO far as 1 know, retain their
American citizenships and most come in
tending to stay only long enough to make
their fortunes and then return to the United
States"
What are the Americans doing?'
They are interested in all sorts of enter
prises. Some are opening up gold, silver
and copper mines. Others have franchises
for street railroads and water works in
the cities. Some are engaged in farming
and many are employed in connection with
the railroads. which belong largely to the
United States.
Have many made fortunes?"
Some have done well, but none have
made the enormous sums which are now
called fortunes in the United States. There
is one man, Mr. Braniff, who is said to be
worth about fifteen or sixteen millions in
Mexican money. He built the Mexican Ma
tional railroad, which runs from Vera Cruz
to Mexico City, and has been interested In
other enterprises of large size. General
