COUNTRY RULED BY WOMEN

more men than women and only one
tenth OF the women are at work out

stamp Of the feminine mind is upon
everything American and In many Of
the higher phases OF culture women
take the initiative.
This rule Of women In the United
States begins In our public schools.

gether and where the teacher Is al

woman has been suggested as mayor OF
Chicago and the civic creed" OF CHI

Women compose very largely the

can succeed without their patronage.
Some OF the most successful magazines

Eively and those given 10 scientific

From 1882 TO 1887 nine commercial
companies with a combined capital
Of 100000. were formed Between
1859 and 1891 three more were fioated.

advantages Of the Egyptian field and

manufacturers followed the stream OF

has become a prize well worthy the
pains necessary 10 secure its control.
The American manufacturer Is just
beginning TO take steps TO capture at
least a fair share OF this trade. Their
distance from Egypt and the cost Of
transportation are, no doubt, serious
handlcaps for American exporters. but
