Miss Hawkins started out. The discourage
ment was given, Professor Fuchs says, moi
| because he really wanted to discourage the
young girl, but because he thought 1t best
that she should be brought to realize fully the
difficulties that lay in her path.
Professor Fuchs pointed out to her that q
woman architect was more or less OF Curl
osity. He told her that she would have diff
ficulty In finding work, no matter how good
an architect she might be. He told her that
she would have trouble in getting desk in
an architects Office, because an architect,
other things being equal, would prefer giving
work to man than to woman.
But Miss Hawkins was determined, and she
persevered. She knew that the design Of
woman architect, Miss S. G. Hayden, OF Bos-
ton, had been accepted for the Woman's
Building at the Worlds Columbian EXPOSE
ton, and she went ahead. She progressed
rapidly and stood well in all her classes.
When she was graduated, in 1894, she took
the Peabody prize and was considered one OF
the best draughtsmen-and the best draughts-
woman-that the institution had ever turned
out.
Then Miss Hawkins went to New York to
prolong her studies and the institute, in
measure, lost sight of her. She was attend
ing in New York the School of Applied De-
sign, and has just been awarded high honors
there.
Now that she has drawn the plans for
Marya and high school, Maryland and the In
stitute are proud of her. She is still in New
York and may remain there. Her aunt, Miss
Ann q. Hawkins, lives at 1909 Linden avenue,
Baltimore"

Aboard Ship.

Sea voyages are usually deemed promotiye
of health. So they are in most cases. But it
may well be doubted If the shaking up aboard
ship, which people of very fragile constitution
and weak nerves gets, Is not prejudical if its
effects are not averted or nullitied by IL medi-
cinal safeguard. The best, if we are to believe
the testimony of ocean travellers, whether they
go abroad for health, pleasure or business, is

We have received the following communi-
cation:
$50 home and hear the news" is an old
saying but an acceptable one in these days
Last week one of the Hartford papers publish
ed the report that &c, 600 cases of tomatoes had
been recently sold in Baltimore at Is cents, and
only the week previous another paper noted
the fact (?) that 20, 600 cases had been sold at
80 that week from Baltimore warehouse. 1t
is doubtless easier to find the man who starts
such reports than the man who sells such lots
of canned goods in these days, when the
article is q burden to all who are interested in
them in any way. Standard No. 3 tomatoes
have been offered at any time during the
month of June at so to So Baltimore ware
house, and up to the present time you can
purchase as few as cases at this latter price.
Only last week small lots of sixty to seventy
cases sold At 52a centsper dozen. These facts
are furnished to the reader not for the pur
pose of lowering his idea of prices to come,
but simply to inform him of the true status of
the market as it is to those who are on the
ground, who do not have to get their informa-
ton from reports. Spot tomatoes are being
offered at SIS, less l. per cent. for county, with
an occasional car at 524 in order to make a
prompt sale. Buyers seem to wait for these
special price lots and will not pay more,
without they must purchase to supply i'm
mediate wants.
Should anything like reasonable demand
spring up there would no doubt be higher
market, but If sales continue to drag We can
expect but little Improvement. Considerable
inquiry for futures has been noted this week,
but owing to the prevailing price of spots and
the advance in the price Of cans, it is hard to
get the buyer and seller together No.
tomatoes are quoted at As for county, and As,
less J per cent, for Baltimore, the making
county goods, what few are left hard to move.

If asked the question, Have you got a stom-

answer Yes But if you are sure of il, that
is, if you ever feel any distress after eating or
any pains of whatever description in the region
of the stomach, you have got something more
than an ordinary stomach; in other words, you
have got diseased stomach. The stomach is
a powerful muscle and the proper remedy for
II tired muscle is rest. Try the Shaker Digest
