WOMEN OUTLINE MEN.
They May Also Retain Youthful Beauty to
to an Old Age.

II is strange. but true, that the most
delicate child often outliyes his strong
er brother or sister. Many instances
are on record of the long survival Of
those who seemed destined to die
early. 1t is said of Voltaire who lived
to be ejghty-four years old. that he
was SO delicate at birth that he could
not be baptiSed for several months.
Sir Isaac Newton, the doctor said,
would not live week. but he celebrat-
ed his eighty-ffth birthday. Fontan-
ellie lived to he Il hundred although he
was so frail at birth that the priest
had to go TO his home to baptize him.
Even more interesting than this is
the statement by Professor Buchner
that ii is possible for Il woman 10 pre-

Some good points to remember IN
the making Of ice cream are these:
MIX should always be scalded or it
may taste watery. If flour is used to
thicken, cook in a double boiler for
twenty minutes. If corn starch, cook
an hour When candied fruits are used
a double amount of sugar is required.
In making brick ice cream, allow two
tablespoonful of gelatine TO each
quart. For ginger ice cream. use
the preserved ginger. In freezing
ice cream takes one-third as much salt
as ice, and the ice should be on top In
packing after the freezing. leave the
salt on top. Always allow the cream
to stand for two or three hours before
serving, as it makes it richer Cater
erS in making cream for entertain
ments usually make it two days ahead.

The gown should be cut nrst and the

signed to accompany the gown. Hand
painting is especially adapted to the
decoration of parasols. and in this

used. for unless one Is able TO do the
painting oneself it is q somewhat ex-

New York, Aug. 5.-Irreguiar prices and
quarters, resulted from the dealings in the
standard issues up to the publication Of
the bank statement this morning. Trading
was exceptionally light in volume. The
market was wanting in the impetus 1t usu-
ally derives from the tendency Of the Lon
don market and from the disposition OF the
foreign trading as the London market was
closed over one of the usual midsummer
holidays. There was nothing new in the
situation overnight. aside from the gratify-
ing showings appearing in the usual hnan-
eial and commercial returns at the close OF
the week. Speculative interest was wholly
taken up with the probable showing TO be
made by the banks IN their weekly report
today.
A few of the Industrial stocks rose rap
idly on reports that the labor troubles in
Colorado were in fair way Of settlement.
There were also relatively large dealings
in Sugar Refining the Tobacco shares,
Federal Steel and American Steel and Wire,
but the movements in these stocks were
also irregular.
The bank statement was accounted dis
appointing as the loss in actual cash was
Iar In excess OF tue RtHeTai eApeCLdtious-
The decrease amounted to S5,I6e, 600, the
greater part Of which was the specie re-
iecting the shipments to Canada and New
England points. The loan account showed
the further contraction of 6.42S 900. which
together with the loss in cash reduced the
deposit account by s12.239, 600. The cur
tailment of the banks liabilities reduced
the loss In surplus reserves to 81, 2,700, 900.
The banks still hold sS. 100. 900 in excess Of
the lawful requirements. The ratio of
cash to deposits is a shade under 25.9 per
cent. An item OF some significance in the
statement was an increase in circulation
amounting to S1S0 000

BIDS FOR IMPROVEMENTS.
Several of Them Exceed the Amounts
Allowed by Congress.

Bids were opened at the District Build
ing at noon today for constructing an ad-
ditional building for the Girls Reform
School. for constructing an addition to the
District Almshouse. for altering the
plumbing in the Central and Colored High
Schools, and for grading Twenty-second
and Twenty fourth Streets in Langdon.
The bids on the Almshouse and Girls Re-
form School additions both exceeded the
amounts appropriated by Congress and
from present prospects there will be very
little building done by the District Gov
ernment during the present summer, The
proposals which the Commissioners have
received on almost every contemplated
building. including school houses and fire
engine houses. have been. almost without
exception, much larger than the amounts
available for the work.
Congress appropriated s15.8oo last year
for an addition to the almshouse- The
lowest bid received today on this building
amounted to s15.S00. An appropriation of
s25, 900 was made for the addition to the
Girls Reform School. and the lowest bid
on the building amounted to $41. 500. The
