Why Is virginia "She:"

To the Editor of the Dispatch
The century bonds Of the Common
wealth OF Virginia read: Acknowledges
herself indebted in the sum of --
which she agrees TO pay" etc.
Why is the feminine gender used?
A. p.
The Commonwealth is here represented
as a person, and. hence, must have sex
applied. There is nothing peculiar in the
fact that the feminine gender is used.
II is not unusual to refer TO any of the
States Of the Union in the same manner.
Custom, ii nothing else. would make II
correct. There is no authority at hand to
settle definitely the exact reason why
the States and some other countries are
frequently reckoned as female. In some
languages all nouns are either male or
female; in other languages the gender

THE daily wages OF these men Is 81

This form OF expression seems TO be IN
universal use. even among good writers,
but is IL not clearly ungrammatical!
Capita is the plural Of the Latin word
caput-a head. II the men received 81
each. or per head. instead OF 81 for all
the heads. would not this fact be cor
recty expressed in the sentence quoted
above by using the phrase per caput
