Lntch Keys for 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Ster has been replaced by the bachelor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 neanthe 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 proudly sewn to
the tailor girl’s “weskit,” hangs the
jeweller’s device, for she has not been
emancipated long enough to leave of!
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 “11 _ 3’ 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, I
and all the rest of the lot that used to I
be always "among the missing.”
*. stufied Spanish Onions. "
A substantially and usually liked
dish for a home luncheonis Spanish
onions stuffed with kidneys, or chop-
ped calf’s liver. These large, tender
onions are peeled, and a piece around I
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 to get rid
of all moisture. The kidneys or calf’s
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 withsalt
and pepper, and moistened with a little
warm, melted but-ter. 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
added. Cover‘and cook slowly in the
oven for about an hour. Just before
taking out, the cover should be remov-
ed to allowthe tops to brown. Small
onions treated in this way make a.
pretty garnish" for various dishes.
Sometimes .calf’s liver and bacon is
served on a platter, surrounded by
these small onions stuffed simply with
highly seasoned bread crumbs. The
French stuff the onions, ' too, some?
times with mushrooms preparing them
in the same way. '
The Thrift of the Wealthy.
A study of some of the advertise-
ments in the women’s periodicals of
London gives an illuminating knowl-
edge of the thrift of even the aristo-
cracy over there. One seen recently
read as follows: “Lady C. and friends
for years have sent their cast-off
clothes, jewelry, plate, gold teeth-
plates, antique lace, etc., to Blank.”
Evidently, much less is given away in
these aristocratic establishments than
is sold. One can hardly fancy an
American woman bartering for the dis-
position of hergold teeth-plate, for ex-
ample. However, it, is true that much
is actually thrown away in American
households that admits of perfectly
legitimate 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
or chopped nuts or olives. Some home-
made sponge cakes are an additional
dainty to this truly, seasonable little
feast. Dates stuffed with marshmal-
lows is a new combination for the bon-
bon dish as a luncheon relish. One
date does not need a whole marshmal-
low, only enough being put in to take
the place of the pit when it is remov-
ed.
A Simple Clxnllie Frock.
A dainty summer frock, which may
sively is shown in the illustration. The
material employed is a pretty challie
with a narrowsatin stripe and pale
pink morning glories on a cream
ground. The skirt is made with the
attached flounce, bordered at the top
and base with a full ruflie of the ma-
terial. '
The corsage is very plain, with close
fitting leg-o—mutton sleeves, slightly
puffed at the top. A collarette of open
work embroidery, bordered with fine‘
lace and with straps‘extendlng to -tho
waist line in front, is the sole orna-i
mantntinn cm the waist -

i " OLD ROSY'S“ REPRIMAND. a,
He Took It Like a Sensible Man and I
Gentleman. '
The late General Rosecrans ran up
against a. Tartar once, but he had the
good sense not. to let his ruffled dignity
cause him to loose his temper.
story, as told by Colonel James T.
Sterling, is as follows: s
Company A of the Seventh Ohio was
formerly the Light Guardi‘ of Cleve-
land, and was one of the best drilled
companies in the army. It was com-
,manded by Captain Creighton. The
Seventh Ohio was in West Virginia. in
1861, and ‘-‘Old Rosy” was in command.
The supplies for the army were
brought up the Kanawha. river in
boats which were unloaded by details
from the regiment. General Rosecrans
had ordered that soldiers on duty must
wear their equipment. Company A
was sent out to unload a. boat and
Captain Creighton permitted the men
to take off their equipment and their
coats as well while engaged in this
hard work. When the work had been
completed the‘ men and officers sprawl-
ed out on the grass for a. rest, and then
General Rosecrans and some of his
staff rode up. The general floked at
the soldiersia minute and lthen called
for the commanding officer. Captain
Creighton did not know General Rose-
crans, but he rose to his feet.
“Who commands this company?"
asked the general. '
“I do, to the best of my ability,” re-
plied the captain. .
“Don’t you know, sir?” inquired the
general, sternly, “that it is against or-
ders to allow the men to remove their
equipments When on du-ty?”,
" ~'-- W 1,-
“I have {heard some such order,” re?
plied Captain Creighton, “bu-t the man
that issued it never did a day’s work
in his life. When my men have to
work hard I’ll see him in the other
place beflore I’ll let them swelter with
their accoutrements on.”
"Old Rosy stared at the cool captain
a. moment and then rode down toward
the boat. .
A soldier ap’proaclhed Captain Creigh-
ton and said: .
“Do you know who that is?”
“No, and I don’t caste.”
“That’s General Rosecrans, the com-
mander of this department.”
“Whew!” ejaculated Captain Creigh-
ton. “Company fall in!”
Without question it was the finest
company in the command. When the
general and his officers rode back from
the boat, the company, in full equip-
ment stood in perfect order and gave
him a “present" in such splendid style
as to attract 'his attention. General
Rosecrans return-ed the salute and re-
quested the capta'm to put his men
through the \manual. When it was
finished the general raised his hat, and,
turning to the captain. said:
“I think that a company that can
handle musketsas well as that should
be allowed to unlOad a steamer withOut
anything on, if they want to.”——Detroit
Free Press. “if? ‘
WHEN SOLDIERS ,T RAVEL.
Their ComI‘Ort Well Iiooked After by the
Government.
“When soldiers in the service of the
United States are travelling their com-
fort is pretty well looked after,” says
F. F. Homer, general passenger agent
of the Nickel Plate.
“The government requires the rail-
road company -to provide'sleeping cors
for the officers and also for the pri-
vates if it is possible to procure the
cars. Of course, if men are to be car-
ried in very large numbers, on short
notice, such arrangements would be
impossible, but even then We Would
have to provide them with ordinary day
coaches. The volunteers who answer
the present call will be carried in tour-
ist cars if their journey lasts through
a. night. Otherwise they will go in
day coaches. I don’t think that any
ot‘her,country on earth looks after its
soldiers so well. When I was soldier-
ing we considered a freight car per-
fectly satisfactory. We generally had
to walk. Being packed (into a. freight
car on a. hot summer day was rather
uncomfortable, and the men usually
secured ventilation by knocking holes
in the sides of the car with the butts
of their rifles. When the officers re-
monstrated the boys would say that
they were just making loop holes to
shoot the ‘Johnnies.”’—Buffalo Com-
mercial. .
Emeralds are Scarce.
It is reported that emeralds are
steadily disappearing. In rthe fifties
and sixties‘ermeralds were the favorite
lewels, and were worn strung on a.
thread like pearls. Now emeralds are
no longer polished into a round form,
but are poll-shed like diamonds. Fault-
less stones of a deep color have al-
ways been as valuable as diamonds.
The reason of the scarcity of emeralds
is the decrease in production in the
"ral mountains. Emeralds were first
isco-ve-red on the right bank of the
.ok-owoler, ne-ar Katharineburg, in the
year 1830, and in the first years the
harvest was a. rich one. ‘

THE JOSEPH LADUE
GOLD MINING AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY OF YUKON.
PRICE OF SHARES TO BE ADVANCED AUGUST 3|, I898.
Mr. Joseph Ladue, the pioneer of the Klondike, and founder of
Dawson City, aided by some of the most conservative and successful finan—
ciers of New York, is operating the strongest company yet formed for
mining and trading in the Yukon gold fields. _ ‘ ,.
To this Company he has transferred placer Claims on Hun, , ,r and
Gold Bottom Creeks, the “Marguerite” Quartz Mine, his S ' IIMill,
his Timber Lease, that virtually monopoliz'es the saw timber "on the
Klondike, and large holdings of Choice Town Lots in Dawson City.
The Company also owns the S. S. “ Morgan City ” now earning $20,000 per
month, and has shipped up the Yukon several hundred tons of merchandise,
for trade, upon which a very large profit is assured. The U. S. Government
reports certify that the saw mill produces about two million feet of lumber
in the open season, sales price of which is from $140 to $240 per 1,000 feet
according to class. «a '

The preferred stock has a first lien on earnings for its dividend,
and on the assets of the Company for its par value, and after all the
stock of the Company has received 6 per cent, the surplus earnings are.
shared pro rata by the preferred and common stock.
Thus the preferred stock practically offers the safeguards and advantages
of a first mortgage bond, coupled with an earning capacity as great as that of
the common stock. -
The undersigned has obtained“ a. short option on a block of this preferred
stock which he now offers at par, $10.00 per share. This option terminates
August 3st, 1898, after which the price of the preferred stock will be
advanced by the Company to $1 2. 50 per share. ' .
This is the last opportunity to get the preferred stock at par, and "
in time to participate in the autumn dividend. Shares will be alloted in the
order subscriptions are received.
