Latch Keys '10: Women.
Latch-keys have ceased to be a. male
perquisite since the old-fashioned spin-
ster has been replaced by. the bachelor
maid. The bachelor girl is nothing if
not determined, and so she'has adopted
one of the last remaining articles that
a man could call his own.‘ '
When the key came the pocket had»
to come with it, of course, and now
it is cut in the back 'of the dress-Skirt
very near the belt line, and with a
’bit of flap over it to conceal the fact
that a coat tail is missing.
And thus it is that the freed wo-
man goes on her way, conscious that
she may at least enter her own doors
at all sorts of coveted and fascinating
hours without arousing everyone, from
the butler to the aged grand-parent
who “disapproves.” '
When the pocket came the key-chain
had to follow in its wake, and, be-
hold, from a button proudlysewn to
the tailor girl’s “weskit,” hangs the
jeweller’s device, for she has not been
emancipated long enough to leave on
sterling silver and take to plain nickel
plate.
When the bachelor girl went into
business she was forced into some, of
the needs of a. man, and some of his
patented rights had to come to her,
and so there came the key-ring in the
train of the key and chain, and there
was another chance for the smithy to
turn out pieces of artistic workman-
ship.
They are oftener heart-Shaped wires
of silver, solid and wide. So it seems
that woman never gets so “new” that
she cannot carry hearts about.
Other designs are serpents, and over
the spring-set tails go the door-key,
the letter-box key, the escritoire key,
and all the rest of the lot that used to
be always "among the missing."
Stuffed Spanish Onions.
A substantially and usually liked
dish for a home luncheon is Spanish
onions stuffed with kidneys, or chop-
ped calf’s liver. These large, tender
onions are peeled, an'd'a piece around
the top cut off, part of the centre
scooped out, an dthe shells placed in
a. little pan of water to .‘parboil. After
five minutes take them out, drain and
turn upside down on a. sieve togetrid
of all moisture. The kidneys or calf’e
liver, previously thoroughly cooked,
are minced finely, an equal amount of
fresh bread crumbs added to it, to-
gether with the chopped onion that
has been scooped out. This stuffing
should be highly 'seasoned'with salt
and pepper. and moistened with ‘a little
warm, melted butter. The mixture is
then packed in the onions, and grated
bread crumbs sprinkled over the top,
and‘the onions placed in a pan, with
about an inch of water to which a
tablespoonful of beef extract has been
addpd. Cover and cook slbwly in the
often: for about-,aziélhour._;§lliiSt before
taking out, the cover‘ should be remov-
.ed.to allow, the tops to brown. Small;

ABOUT ROYAL FEET. '
Queen Victoria Wear» a. No. 8—The Em-
press of Germany Spiny-Footed.
Though it is an accepted fact of ’
Spanish etiquette that “the Queen of
Spain has no feet,” so much cannot be
said of Victoria, Empress of India.
Queen of Great Britain and Ireland.
Short and pudgy as She iS—something
under five feet—the royal lady wears
a No. 8 asw'do all her daughters.
Therein she shows her German blood
—as does Maria Christina, Spain’s
Queen Regent, who is by birth an
Austrian archduchess. Her predeces-
sor, Mercedes, a true Spanish Bourbon
albeit the daughter of the French Duc-
de Montpensier, had, it is said. .the
foot of a fairy. Therein she resem-
bled her aunt and mother-in-law, ex-
Queen Isabella, who, though of most
unwieldy figure, possessed in her
youth royally delicate extremities. It
was one of her great-grandmothers
whose beautifully slender foot, trim
ankle and highly arched instep, drew
from a foreign Ambassador a compli-
ment, which the Spanish Minister to
whom it was spoken, answered so
crushingly, “Senor, the Queen of Spain
has no fee .”
Germany’s Empress, it is irreverent-
ly whispered, inclines to be splay-
footed, though otherwise she is a well
made woman. Princess Alix of Hesse
now Uzarina, treads upon a foot' long
and slender, as becomes one of her
height. Rumor sayeth not as to the

these aristocratic establishments than
is sold. one can hardly fancy an
American woman bartering for the dis-
position of her gold teeth-plate, for ex-
ample. However, it is true that much
is actually thrown away in American
households that admits of perfectly
sale. There are places
where even old plated silver is bought,
and bits of broken jewelry, gold, and
silver are easily sold. The travelling
umbrella-menders will take and pay
for handle rods to which are hanging
only broken ribs and shreds of the
used-up silk covers. In these days
of closely watched refuse barrels, it is
often impossible to dispose of things
that are no longer of any use in the
household. A little care, however.
will usually show how some itinerant
merchant will find them valuable.
Serving Cool Drinks.
At some of the late season days at
home in town now, in lieu of the per-
ennial tea,‘ various summer drinks
poured from tall glass pitchers and
served in what a child calls “mug-
lets" are offered. With these are thin
sandwiches of graham bread usually
spread with a mayonnaised salad leaf
orchopped nuts or olives. Some home-
made sponge cakes are an'additional
[ dainty to this- truly seasonable little
feast. Dates stuffed with marshmal-

MANY IDLERS IN THE KLONDIKEA-f
More Than the Country Can Support and
Milnlng Suspended.
Port Townsend, VVash., Aug. 10.--The
steamer Rosalie has arrived here from
Skaguay, Alaska, with one hundred
passengers from Dawson City, who
came up the Yukon river via. the lakes.
They have advices from Dawson up
to July 27 and bring considerable gold
AduSt, estimated at $100,000. Joseph Bar-
rett of Seattle, brought out about $25,-
000. Others brought out sums ranging
from $2,000 to $15,000.
The steamer Monarch arrived at
Dawson July 23 and steamer Sovereign
July 26 from St. Michaels. The Monarch
.was last reported high and dry up the
river, but the wannwm‘ther caused a
sudden rise in the river and she was
easily floated. The steamer Joseph
Glosset, owned by Portland parties, and
Flying between Dawson and the lakes,
while trying to run White Horse can-
yon struck a. rock and sunk in six feet
of water. No lives were lost and all
the outfits were saved, :though in a
damaged condition. It is thought the
steamer can be floated again and re-
sume her runs.
The Dawson market is well supplied
with fresh beef at $1215 per pound, dres-
sed.
Mining operations in the Klondike are
at a standstill and will continue so un-
til cold weather sets in. It is, estimated
that .there‘are about 25,000 idle men in
Dawson eagerly waiting for something
to turn up. This number is being
swelled every day by new arrivals from
both‘up and down the river. There are
now more people than the country can
support.

Pekin, Aug. 10.—T‘.1e firm attitude
adopted by Great Britain in the matter

Troops to Move North
Washington, Aug. 10.—-A. large move-
ment of troops northward is probable.
It is the purpose of the war depart-

amauga and Newport News and per-.
haps those at Manassas, Va... further
north. ’
Practice marches will be resorted to
in a considerable degree in order to
imprOVe the health of the troops.
All the soldiers at the points named
will not be moved, but a large part of
them will receive orders.
End of Loiter’s Wheat Deal.
Minneapolis, Aug. 10.—The famous

“During Friday and Saturday of last
week?” said be. “we sold about 1,250,-
000 bushels to Minneapolis and Duluth
miners, and to-day we have disposed
o fabout 1,000,000 bushels, which has
been purchased by Minneapolis mlllers,
thus closing out the Minneapolis Leiter
wheat, and leaving only a balance of
about 250,000 to 400,000 bushels to close
out at Duluth.”
