Women Bankers.

Berlin has what is said to be the
only bank in the world owned and run
by women exclusively for women. This
Is the Mutual Bank of Self-Supporting
Women. 1t was established about
three years ago, the board OF control
being composed of four women. It
employs seven women clerks.

Women and Congress.

The question as to womsn's eligibil-

and, Of course, not decided, but If the
people of district in state where
woman suffrage existed and where
women were eligible to any office
should elect a woman to congress she
would probably be admitted.

they cultivate the corn later on. Pre-
pairing the sod with the land roller

tasks that of late years have been
done by women, since the country
cousins have seen fit to go to cities
and help city cousins twist cigars in
factories, or work in the iron mills.

They have been reading agricultural
papers, some have attended agricul-
tural schools, and quite few have
not only studied domestic science to
be useful in the farmhouse kitchens;
but they have studied feed rations,
dairy methods and soil fertility, so
that they know better how to feed a
dairy COW correctly than did their
fathers a decade ago. They are also
able to enforce the sanitary methods
in and about the dairy barn, SO that
meat and milk inspectors need not
spend extra car fare to inspect their
farm premises.
Still some of their work is done as

it. Small farmers, who do not wish
to go to the expense of buying all the
modern machinery, still cut their
grain with the cradle, and the daugh-
ters bind the grain. No corn husk-
ing machines have yet been invented
that husk corn like a human hand
can, so women are seen in corn fields
in great numbers. Those farmers
vino still cut their grass fields, and
particularly wet meadows, still use
the forks to spread out the grass to
dry instead of using tedders. and this
work is all done by young girls.
Many farmers still use the horse
power for operating their threshing
machinery, and here the young wom-
en- find numerous tasks they can do,
such as acting as driver, whipping
and urging the horses around and
around the customary circle in the
horse power shed, feeding the sheaves
into the threshing machine, handing
them to the fodder and pushing the
straw from the bsrn-noor to the sta
bles below.

Womanliness.

Perhaps it would not be so easy to
lose "womanliness" as some people
seem afraid it would be. Perhaps all
the pow-wow about becoming desexed
is superfluous. Weininger calls atten-
ton to the fact that while there are
people who are anatomioally men and
psychically women, there is no such
thing as 4 person who is anatomically
woman and psychically man. How
ever masculine her appearance, q
woman's psychic qualities remain dis
tinctively feminine. At least, Mr..
Weininger says so.

Posterlty to Obtain RECORDS.

We are told that the Modern His.

a novel plan of delivering messages
for its members to their descendants
100 years from now. Two envelopes
of durable Japanese vellum have been
sent to each member, with the request
that genealogical memoranda, mes.
sages and photographs be inclosed.
The sealed envelopes will be de-
posted in leadlined steel chests. One
will be stored with the associations
collections in the New York public
library. A copperplate inscription
will direct that the chest be opened In
the year 2013.
The second chest will be put in a
vault near the Cheops pyramid in
Egypt. In this way the insurance Is
taken against possible destruction by
war or natural causes. The chests
also will contain documents, tablets,
and photographs relating to affairs Of
the present year.

With all this open air work on the
farm, woman is becoming the real
Queen of the Farm. The public
schools begin to teach agriculture,
state experiment stations send out
bulletins giving to them easy meth
DDS of study, how to train to become
real handy on the farm, either as
wife, daughter or helper, so that we
have in Pennsylvania, as we'll as
other eastern states, modern women
gardeners, managers of dairy farms,
owners Of poultry farms and apiaries,
besides showing an equal interest in
the method of marketing farm prod
ucts, sowing good seed and applying
the proper fertilizer, according to
modern soil surveys, which tell the
farmers just what Is lacking on his
own farm.
The modern farmers wife does not
think her household duties drudg-
cry any more. Her better half has
seen that the day is at hand for bet
ter conditions, so he has installed
modern heating system in the farm
house, bath rooms and first-class laun-
deries. The kitchen is remodeled and
equipped in the hest sanitary way
and instead of standing at the old
colonial table working butter into the
old-fashioned forms, she has the
cream separator or the community
creamery, either to make the work
easier, or eliminate 1t altogether.
Modern methods and better schools
in rural districts have given us the
"Farmerettes." They are not only
queens If their husbands farms, but
they are sole ruler over their own
farms. Pennsylvania has a large num-
Der Of women farmers WHO not only
do real farm work, but who manage
hundreds of acres OF land that the
same are scientifically titled and

city sister has TO buy to keep her

she has to buy from some sister farm

Day after day the words Queen of
the Farm" becomes more of reality,
because rural life is rapidly changing
for the better. The school are bet
ter, the churches have become a
greater factor in most rural commun-
tiles and social questions are dis
cussed at social gatherings at the
farm-houses; paving the way, so that
there is better understanding of the
rural problem by every woman OF
every farming community. Even at
those social gatherings somo time is

among them; but the daughters will
be glad to advance the new slogan:
Stay on the farm" thus keeping
their own sex in the rural commun-
tiles. This will prove to their own
advantage and to the advantage of
every young male farmer who cannot
help but get a better and more up-to-

the various agricultural pursuits of
the next generation.
