a probationary term of three months she
was sent to the mother house in En-
mitsburg, Md, where she remained six
months, learning their methods.
This was in the autumn of 1861, when
the alarm of war struck terror into
many a peaceful home. In the spring
of 1862 an order came to the mother
house to send three of the sisters to Slat-
terlee United States Military hospital in
West Philadelphia. When Mrs. Hamil-
ton heard the message, it filled her heart
with a true happiness that she had to
conceal as a part of her discipline. But
she was determined on one thing, and
that was to leave the order if she was
not chosen and to offer her services in
the great struggle. Her fears were
happily groundless, and she was sent
early in May, 1862.
Mrs. Hamilton's feet began to blister
from constant standing, but her services
were unremitting. During 1862. 1863 and
1864 the hospital was constantly filed,
this being especially so after the battle of
Gettysburg. The wards were overcrowd-
ed, and tents were erected to accommodate
1000, most of whom were colored troops
who, when recovering, made the place
lively with tent meeting hymns and pray
ers. Mrs. Hamilton can never forget
what the soldiers of the rebellion sacri-
feed that this nation might free the
bondsman.
She married n soldier of the Nineteenth
Maine volunteers, and by this marriage
eight children were born, seven of whom

1t has been asked more than once
whether women can write plays. Awhile
back this question provided an elaborate
discussion, the upshot of which was that,
whereas they might be able to do SO, the
fact remained that they had not so far
distinguished themselves in the field Of
dramatic literature. 1t can no longer be
said, however, that women are not to be
seriously reckoned as rival competitors
with men in this particular kind Of
work. How far they are successful at
present or whether they are likely to do
still greater things for the stage it is not
proposed to discuss just now.
But what does seem to need saying at
this juncture, when there are signs that
the woman dramatist is making herself
prominent and is doing notable work, is
that a splendid opportunity here presents
itself for women to exercise the best pos
sible influence on the drama of the day.
We hear it frequently asked, Does the
drama make for good? And, thinking on
the pessimistic problem plays that are
produced and on the theme which gener-
ally furnishes forth the play of the day,
one hesitates to reply afhrmatively.
One would be specially sorry to think
that as they have the chance of elevating
or at all events of preserving the best
tone of the drama, women did not avail
themselves of their chances. Women are
without doubt as capable as men of put
ting good stories into dramatic shape and
supplying our stage with well written
and well constructed plays, but it is to be
hoped that they will not be tempted to
forget that it is womans meter to COM
mand respect, and her privilege to inau-
ence for good.-Philadelph Ledger.

absent about the heir apparent to the

Shipping Of the Great Lakes.

Few people, we imagine, realize the
vast extent of the commerce of the in
land seas known as the great lakes.
According to figures secured by the
treasury bureau Of statistics, coupled
with the report Of the officer in charge
Of the Sault Ste. Marie canal, there
were received by vessels at the 81 prin-
cipal ports ON the great lakes between
April /, 1900, and the close Of the year
total of 1,2G6,234 tons Of -four, o.
S34, ,256 bushels Of wheat, 70,S05, sol
bushels of corn, 80, ,29O,76 bushels Of
oats, 11,526, sol bushels of barley and
1,S40,S92 bushels of rye. These figures
relate purely to the movements be-
tween United States ports and do not
therefore include the shipments to or
from ports ON the Canadian side of the
canals or through the Welland canal.
The great bulk of the grain traffic orig
mated at Chicago and Duluth and had
Buffalo as its point of destination.
The receipts of iron ore by water at
the ports embraced in the bureaus CON-
pllation reached a total of 1925, OPT
tons, and this may be accepted as about
S5 per cent of the entire movement Of

15,S43, ,6S1 tons are shown to have been
shipped from the six ports of Two Har-
bors, Duluth, Escanaba, Ashland, Mar
quette and West Superior, and 1923
900 tons were received at the six ports
of Ashtabula, Cleveland, Conneaut
South Chicago, Buffalo and Erie, a re-
markable exemplfication of the extent
to which the iron ore traffic Is concen-
trated.
Many different classes Of commodi-
ties, such as provisions, dry goods and
hardware, are reported under the gen
eral head of nnclassfied freight. This
movement at the principal lake ports
during the past year reached the ag-
gregate of 3,471, 131 tons. In this traf
fic the city of Chicago led with s42,e21

Buffalo, 66S,S31 tons; Cleveland, 275,
673 tons; Detroit, 234, ,4S2 tons, and

Counterfeit China.

Other things besides money are coun-
terfeited, and purchasers of old china
have to be continually on their guard
or they will be paying many dollars
for what is worth only few cents.
"The market Is full of imitation Chi
ma" said lower Fourth avenue dealer
in antiques who was asked about the
matter. Persons who rely on marks
are sure to be deceived, for marks are
easily initiated, and there is not one
that has escaped forgery.
Both French and English manufac-
turers forge all of the most sought aft
er marks and find sale for their prod
ucts. In looking for old china | find
that every mark of Importance has
been forged, from Dresden to WOrces-
ter and" Crown Derby, not excepting
old Sevres. Every day would be pur-
chasers come here and visit other New
York shops, looking for china, and have
no mortal idea at all correct of what
they are buying. Yet they will talk
after a most learned fashion and will
take offense at the very suggestion
that they may be deceived.
"If you are going to judge Of china
by its marks or evidence of its age
and use from discoloration cracks and
chipping, you are more than likely to
be cheated, for all of these things are
easy for an expert and dishonest deal
er to initiate. If you are not judge Of
china, then hire an honest expert to

Her Seven Stages.
II is held by a writer on woman that
the seven stages of woman's life may be
reckoned as composed of multiples Of
seven. The first seven years are infancy,
the second seven childhood, the third sew
en- girlhood, and the fourth seven bring
fully developed womanhood. The fifth
seven-that is, from the age OF % to 30
may be looked upon as the infancy Of
age, for during that period one learns to
exercise the faculties and perceptions
that have developed in the preceding
years. Until the age OF AZ the lessons go
ON and character is being matured and
fixed. After that few changes are made
In the real person. Slight varieties and
variations of opinion are likely to occur,
but nothing deep or vital to transform

Women Who Are In Demand,

Women who are "Jacks of all trades"
are now the ones who are earning most
money and who meet with least difficulty
in finding good situations. Indeed, there
are not near enough of them to supply
the increasing demand for their services.
With the amassed wealth of this coun-
try and the numerous outside duties
which necessarily devOlve upon the wom-
an head of large establishment there
has seemed to come, among other things,
an opening for a second self-a working
mistress, so to speak, in the home.
TO fill such a position high class women
Of considerable education and refinement
are desired. for they must, when the
madam is unable to do SO, take up the
reins of the household at any point. They
must interview special visitors, go on con-
fdential missions, also errands of mercy
and put forth an exemplary moral tone
before the young people.
In fact, this position requires woman
endowed with tact, one of heavens S
greatest blessings, and a general amount
of savoir faire. She should never be
at loss for word or allow any emer-
gency to find her unprepared. Not only
is she the power behind the throne, but
even must she at times look after that
structures steadiness.
Again, she must have no talent for
what Ruskin regards as so great a crime
-idleness. There are flowers TO be ar
ranged in the drawing room, a thing
never wisely intrusted to unskilled fin
gers. There are cards to be written to
place in front of each guests place at
dinner, something which servants know
nothing whatever about, and, besides,
this dexterous individual must even per-
haps spend some hours in studying a
monologue or poem to declaim after the
repast Is over. she must be able 10
amuse as well as serve.
In no way does such a position as this
conflict with that of a housekeeper's. Of
ten the same establishment will shelter
them both. The one backs up and at
tends to practical arrangements, the 9TH
er is alert for the social order of things.
But q word to the wise is enough. The
woman who feels herself capable of fill
Ing such a position can secure no doubt
q luxurious home and have placed in her
hand anywhere from $50 to 500
month.

and nursery governess has recently
suggested itself to clever minds, so that

one individual possessed Of these diverse
attainments There are. as is well
known, a number of women who go
through a certain amount of hospital
training and yet find, after they have
completed their course, that they prefer
not to pursue it as a steady profession.
But if they happily have some other
latent talent, such as that of being a
governess or companion to young girls,
this very knowledge of nursing will great
ly aid them to place themselves with a
much larger salary than they could 9th
