The late Susan B. Anthony once
attended a wedding in Rochester and
at the reception she said to the bride
groom:
If you want this marriage to be
happy one, you must be as kind and
tender always as you are now. Never
relax dor moment your attitude OF
loving solicitude Never relax, tho
you find hundred excuses for doing
so.
Such excuses, believe me, are easy
to find. l once knew young couple

The wife said to the husband one

Before we were married, dear, you

"Pegay Stewart Day"

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 1s.-In pur-
suance Of custom of many years
standing the patriotic and historical
societies of Baltimore and vicinity
held exercises today in celebration Of
Peggy Stewart Day" The day COM
memOrates the anniversary of the
burning Of the brig Peggy Stewart,
which incident was one Of the most
stirring. and momentous in the early
history Of Maryland.
The brig arrived in annapolis at a
time when public feeling against the
taxes imposed by England was very
hot. The vessel brought cargo Of
tea and when it was announced that
the tea was subject to tax the pub
lie became intensely indignant. The
prevailing sentiment was similar to
that which obtained in Boston on the
eve of the famous "Tea Party" A
meeting Of representative citizens was
held and the sentiment of the meeting
was explained so forcibly to the cap
tain and owner Of the vessel, Alexan-
der Stewart. that he set fire to the brig
with his own hands in order to appease
the popular indignation

hard and unusual for her to be other

Church, cashier of a bank at Joplin,
NO, faced the 800 or more members
Of the American Bankers association
IN convention today and told them of
a woman's qualifications as a bank
Official. Mrs. Church was given cor
liai reception by the men of finance.
1t was the final day Of the thirty
second annual convention. which has
been one Of the most interesting and
profitable ever held by the associa-
ton. A discussion of practical bank
ing questions occupied the greater
part Of the forenoon. The convention
concludes this evening with the in
stallation Of new officers.
Women More Honest Than Men.
In setting forth woman.s qualifi-
cations as a bank official Mrs. Church
said, in part: THE first prerequisite
for any bank official is that OF abso-
lutte honesty, and believe am justi-
Ned in saying that women, as rule,
possess this qualification in a very
marked degree. Perhaps there are
reasons for 1t, such as their envir on
ments. etc, but whatever the cause
may be feel warranted in saying that
fewer women are dishonest than men.
In this day and generation, when we
have been appalled, by the gross dis
honesty OF bank officials In high posi-
Hons, men who have been tempted
beyond the breaking point, it Is no
small matter to see to it that cur
banks are officered by persons, wheth-
er men or women. who are absolutely
honest under any and all circum-
stances, and the records will bear me
out In the statement I have made.
that very, very few women holding
positions OF trust have absconded,
embezzled or otherwise misappropria-
ted the funds committed to their t-ust.
Sterling integrity Is most certain
" another qualification for any bank
onicial; and right here again / claim
for woman that she possesses this
qualification In Its highest form. As
q rule women are reared and trained
to bear themselves above reproach.
and few OF them would condescend to
do anything that would lower them in
the estimation OF their friends or ac-
Quaintances as In the business world:
therefore 1t would indeed lie rare to
md woman holding an ofiiclal posi-
ton In q bank who would stoop to do
anything that would tarnish her name
" reflect upon her reputation. Not
even fiattery or division of the spoils
would tempt her to be otherwise than

funds intrusted to the safe keeping Of
her bank.
Faithfuiness an Essential.
We cannot ali be bright, we can
not all be wise and sagacious; but we
all can, ii we will. be faithful; and to
. be faithful in the performance Of the
duties imposed upon a bank official
is one Of the qualifications absolutely

It that Of all the qualifications of a

THE WORD "FEMALE."
Why Should Ii Be ContemptuousIy
Turned Out of Doors?


The fortunes of words, indeed,
are subject to as many vicissitudcs
as the fortunes Of Individuals. But
there is perhaps no one term which
Just now deserves more eommiscra-
ton for the hard fate which has
befallen it than the substantive ''fe-
male" used as synonym for WON
an" 1t is turned out of doors by
every corrector of the press. 1t is
contemptuously spoken Of as vul-
garism. Modern ignorance has
sometimes styled it modern vul-
garism.
Both as a substantive and as an
adjective "female" goes back to the
fourteenth century, but though
then occasionally employed as a
synonym for woman" such usage
can hardly be called common. Still
it is found. The Wycliffe transla-
ton of the Bible, for illustration,
reads in the twenty-fourth chapte,
of Matthew that two women shall
be grinding at quern, the one to
be taken, the other left. But in the
polemic treatise WyclifTe wrote, ex-
pounding this same chapter, the two
"women" of the gospel appear as
two females" The word turns up
occasionally from that time during
the three centuries that follow.
1t is clear that the elder writer's,
born and brought up amid the lin
guistic traditions of the earlier half
of the nineteenth century, were
not in the slightest degree under the
influences now prevalent and that
the disrepute into which the word
has fallen is mainly the work of
the last thirty years. 1t is hard
to tell under what circumstances
the feeling of dislike to it arose
or what were the main determining
agencies that brought about the
state of feeling we recognize as ex-
listing today. If the remark will not
seem invidious, 1 am inclined to at
tribute the disfavor in which it is
now held to the i'll will entertained
and expressed toward it by the men,
bers of the sex it denotes. 1t may
be said that they ought to have a
determining voice in choosing the
appellations by which they are des-
ignatcd.-Thomas r. Lounsbury in
Harper's for August.

When Broken, Don't BE Too Hasty In
Throwing II Away.

Because glassware, china and brio
a-brac get broken is no reason for
throwing them away, for unless some
of the pieces are lost they can be
patched and glued together and
made to look like new, if one is
careful to fit the edges closely to-
gether. They should be practical
for use, too, if water or liquid are
not left standing in them.
Clear glass is the most difficult OF
these to mend because it must be
done so expertly to prevent the
crack from showing.
The best kind of glue for clear
glass is made from solution Of
two ounces of isinglass and half a
pint of gin poured into an open
mouthed bottle and set in the sun
until it dissolves. 1t should be
shaken well every day and before
being used should be strained
through clean lawn cloth.
When ready for the gluing the
broken glass pieces should be well
washed in hot suds, especially on
the edges. dried, and then with a
small camel's hair brush the cement
should be put on the edges of both
pieces and when they are nicely fit
ted together rubber bands or clean
strips of cloth should be bandaged
tightly around them to hold the
edges well together until the glue
dries.
If the cement has been properly
made the break should really not be
visible when dry, for the reason
many cracks look jagged when
mcnded is because the edges have
not been well joined and, bubbles
of air getting in, reflect the light,
making the ragged, broken lines
glaringly apparent.
Bric-a-brac that is part metal and
glass should not be so difficult to
fix over, particularly where the two
materials meet, for often paste Of
sifted plaster of paris mixed with
the beaten white of an egg will
make them as strong and good as
new. This work must be done quick
ly, for within five minutes after
putting it on the pieces it hardens
and holds the metal and glass or
china tightly together.
Two metal pieces should be
mended with solder. To do this the
edges should first be carefully dust
ed, washed if they are very dirty
and rosin brushed over them. Then
when fitted well together and tied
in place a stick of solder should be
laid above the break and a hot iron
brought down lightly on it. When
the solder cools the melted rosin
may be removed with cloth dipped
in alcohol.
