The Financier says this week:
Considering renewed exports of gold on
Paris account, and the conflicting move
ment of money following the July divi-
dend period, the clearing house banks
of New York made a very good state
ment for the week ending July 12. The
loans of the institution increased $10,-
$4,000 The current week was one of
the dullest ever known on the stock
exchange. so that the expansion in this
item was due to other causes 1t Is
to be noted that the loans of the trust
companies. as reported In their state
ment made independently of the clear
Ing house banks. decreased nearly $1,000,
000, so that there has probably been
some shifting of loans as between the
banks proper and the trust companies.
The banks lost $4.SS20OO in specie but
gained s7.262,0Oo in legal tenders. the net
result being an increase of $2SSO.0O0 in
cash. Deposits expanded $17.SS2, ,00O and
this increased reserve requirements to
an amount large enough to offset cash
gains, and the banks therefore. decreased
their capital reserve $541,O00. the surplus
above the % per cent minimum stand
ing at $19,414sO0. The above figures are
based on the report of actual condition,
but the statement figured according to
the system of daily averages, and show
ing earlier changes, makes the surplus
reserve of the banks s19,409650.

At a session of the Board of Charity Commissioners yesterday afternoon the principal business was a discus zion of a proposed bond issue for the securing of a new alrnshouse. The opinion prevailed that a, new aims house is needed and a bond issue was considered the proper procedure of getting it. A vote was taken to have the public inspect the present Lake view building for 10 days preceding the city election between and 12 - o'clock each forenoon and 1 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

PADS AND FASHIONS

Taupe color continues to be among the favored hues.
 A novelty is the huff ornamented with the butterfly.
 The short coat is a feature of the ! three-piece costume. 1
 Beads are playing a large part in this years fashions. Italian blue and gold are a much favored combination. Millinery is trimmed with black and white Chantilly lace The Empire style is strongly re- vived in juvenile apparel. A new feature of evening gowns is the bodice of beaded net. | Yellow fur holds the central posi- ton among fur trimmings. Goats of black caracul have collars and cuffs of yellow fox. There are no plain skirts; when dra- peries are lacking, the skirts are two or three tiered. The odd little jackets of brilliant green, red, blue and orange silk are ornamented with jet buttons. Collars are almost obsolete, and e1eeves.e- except in tailored frocks, usually just reach the elbow.
 Fashionable combinations of colors are blue and ruby, beige and black, and rust red with dull blue.
 Sunshatdes are brilliant in color, and some areS elaboratelyk trimmed with pIeated frills or bands of puf1ng
 Hats of white straw are adorned with white tuIIe@ spiked wit flo Were, and some are trimmed with wreaths. < A most, welcome change from, the separate coat which binds the limbs lis the jaunty coat which flares and rip pies.
 The white frock. is suitable for all occasions, and each small girl should have several white frocks in her ward robe. es5
 More and more attractive are the topcoats designed to wear with per ishable summer dresses. They are made in vivid shades.
 White frocks trimmed with red are much in vogue; very pretty com bina- tion is of white linen and carnation red coile de soie.
 The enlarged kinone sleeve is no ticed. It hangs in ample folds from the elbow, to be caught just below into a tightly fitted band.
 Shoes and stockings are complete study, and the fashionable French wo- man will change hers. several times during the day.
 A little black dress is made charm ing with a vaporous ruche Of black and-white tulle in three tiers to set well out around the throat
 The collar and jabot will give the simplest frock of linen and gingham a touch of individuality. There are many pretty combinations in white and color.
 For the morning waist, white crepe is a charming material. A bit of pink. or blue embroidery on the collar and cuffs will add to the summer dainti- ness.
 There are some new white nets for blouees, which wash beautifully and are as practical as linen. They take little room, and are easily washed in a. basin in the hotel
 With black gowns, the three-quar- ter length jacket of white satin, silk. or moire ss worn. These are in di- rectoire style, with cutaway fronts and swallow tail Jackets.
 A happy mixture is fashioned with the skirt and front of bodice in checked violet and white material with collar tie and sash of violet satin ribbon Long pleated violet redingote, with buttons to match. With this is worn a white hat with g tall violet os- trich feather.

Rice Stealing Coolies.

Among Chinese coolies a favored
method of stealing rice is to lean up
against a pile of sacks and stick a tin
tube through the sacldng. the rice,
which is dry, flowing naturally through
the tube into the coolies clothing.
Flour is also stolen in this manner, and
a common punishment In this case Is to
let the thief obtain a large quantity
and then pour water into his clothing,
which makes matters rather uncom

The Word ~set.S

What is the favorite word Of the
English languageP The Germans have
their ''schlag" and "zug," which cover
many meanings. But we beat them in
the one word-not ~"post"-which you
might suspect Of the supremacy Of am
biguity-but set" One always thought
that post" was the word that meant
all things and nothing. The punster
should watch the word "set," which
has achieved nearly seventy columns in
the new English dictionary. 1t is a
small word, but its meanings are al
most unlimited You should set to
work on the word. which you use every
day in a hundred senses. And 1t would
be a pleasant, popular game to set
down the number of ways In which
you have used that word during the
day. "Set to partners" you might call
it.-London Chronicle.

They Are Added to Persons Names
Instead of Being Prefxed.
Turkish names and titles are some
times confusing to the ordinary reader,
and this explanation from the Turkish
embassy at Washington may be OF in
terest. In the first place, our Ameri-
ran prehxes "Mr." or General" be-
come suffixes in Turkish. The mayor
Of a Turkish city adds to his name Bo-
ledie Raisi. Therefore it would not be
Mayor John Smith, but Smith Boledie
Raisi.
A caliph is a prince Of the royal
line and "Mohammed's representative"
ranking next to the sultan himself In
importance. The next title of impor-
lance is sheik ul Islam, or head Of the
Mohammedan faith. Imam is the title
by which a priest is originally ad-
dressed.
Pasha is the highest title within the
gift OF the sultan. 1t is conferred chief
ly On men who achieve distinction In
arts and letters or in commerce and Is
more or less common among the great
merchants of Turkey or those who UNI
der the old regime had a hand in the
collection Of taxes. The word hey

Gates that the bearer is distinguished
for service Of the country. The term
'efendi" indicates that the nan so adj
dressed is higher In birth, breeding or
education than the man speaking and
is a variable title, depending on the
rank of those carrying on a converse
ton.

They Were Common In England When

They Were Common In England When
Real Ones Were Taxed.
The window tax in England, a very
old tax commencing in the reign OF
William III, was not discontinued I'M
I'll Lord Halifax changed 1t to the
house duty In 1851.
It must have caused a great amount
Of consumption, anaemia and other foul
air maladies, for in 1850 there were
only an average Of six windows In
English houses. Indeed, the British
architects are not yet free from the bad
influence of this tax.
In very many old houses in England
today there may be seen mock windows
painted on the walls for symmetry
hideous things. Not only were glazed
windows taxed, but any hole in the
wall was included. Indeed, in the early
days only very rich people in England
had glass windows, and so precious
were these that they were carried from
one house to another when people
moved their quarters.
Curious lodges were practiced to es-
cape the tax, such as extending one
window across two houses or making a
very wide division between two panes
of glass. The loss to the nation must
have been a hundredfold the revenues
collected from this bad tax.-Boston
Herald.
