but mistaken admirer.-t Success Maya

What Women Do For a Living.

That the four million women workers
in the United States are engaged in no
less than 292 distinct occupations will be
surprising news 10 some. No women,
naturally, are reported as United States
soldiers, sailors or marines; nor were any
reported as members of the fire depart
ment or as street car drivers Though
two were reported as motormen), or as
telegraph and telephone linemen, or as
apprentices or helpers TO roofers and
skaters, or as helpers to steam boiler
makers or to brass workers. But the
reader may note with interest, and per-
haps with some establishment, that five
women are employed as pilots; that on
steam railroads 10 we're employed as bag
gagemen, 81 as brakemen, as conduc-
tors, 45 as engineers and firemen, and
26 as switchmen, yardmen, and fiagmen;
that 43 were carriage and hack drivers
that were reported as ship-carpenters,
and as roofers and skaters; that as
many as 1856 were returned as black
smiths, and sos as machinists; that were
boiler-makers; that 81 were charcoal
coke, and lime burners; and that IL were
we'll borers. OF course these figures have
little Significance beyond indicating that
there are few kinds of work from which
the female sex is absolutely debarred, by
either nature, law, or custom. There
were 1876 occupations employing over
1000 women each and 60 employing over
5000-Harper's Weekly.

A Good Motto for SAVINGS
Banks

The Randolph Herald & News, the
leading newspaper in eastern central
Vermont believes that every dollar in
vested i'll Vermont is a good motto for
Savings Banks. Here is what it says /:
"A million dollar in deposits" EVERY
dollar invested in Vermont" Never a
loss by poor investment" Any one Of
these would be a good motto or trademark
for a savings bank. All three apply to

Savings Bank and Trust Company OF
Hyde Park.
This Bank pays 496, compounded semi
annually, on deposits of 500 or more,
remaining in the bank one full year.
