Congressman William Whiting of
Massachusetts, who comes often to
New York, is prosperous paper
manufacturer and bank president at
Holyokc, Mass. A writer in the Tri5-
uao says of him: He is short and
stout, with black side whiskers and
mustache. He wears in summer u
iaunty straw hat over his round and
ruddy face, and this gives him the air
of Il yachtsman. He has one of the
finest farms in Connecticut Valley, and
pridcs himself on one of the best herds
of Jersey cattle in Massachusetts. He
told me the other day that he had some
forty of the largc.eyed yellow cows.
Like all cattle fanciers, he tells butter
and milk tales instead of fish stories
The one he likes best is about Judge
Poland of Vermont, whose eccentric
dress was prominent in Congress some
years ago. The Judge went to tenn
perancc social" When he asked for
something to drink, one OF the boys,
knowing the Judges tastes, made him
huge milk punch. He shut his eyes
as he drank il and smakcd his ip3 as he
finished When he asked the name of
the beverage he was told it was milk.
The old Judges eyes twinilcd us he
remarked: 1T must be from a remark
ably good COW"

FINE GEMS IN WASHINGTON
A STORY OF FITzHUGH LEE.

The reports Of the Treasury Depart
mcnt show remarkable falling of in
the importations of diamonds into this
country during the past year as com
pared with the preceding years. The
pressure of hard times is felt in this
particular more quickly than almost
any other. There have been some sales
of very fine diamonds in Washington,
however, this season, says Austin in
one of his recent letters. The display
of diamonds in Washington society is
very elegant, both here and at the sea-
side, where most of that article is Just

diamonds in Washington said gen

Congressman Washburnc's family.
General Bingham's late wife had very
valuable ones. A good many of the
legation people have very valuable dia-
monds, probably the finest that were
seen here. They are better judges of
these things on the other side of the
water than our people, and rs the di-
plomats are generally of the class that
have plenty of money to put into this
sort Of thing they are well sup.
piled, and with good ones, too.

evening entertainments here are like

difficult matter for any one but an eX-

of diamond by looking at 1t, so many
elements are to be taken into estima-
ton in forming an opinion. The quail
ity of stone is determined by its color,
shape, brilliancy and blamelessncss. In
color diamond is supposed to be per
feet when it is white, but there are two
grades better than perfect, viz: the
steel color and the blue. The latter is
always very fountain Of fire, AMI the
snap and the brilliancy with which it
reflects the light arc potent considc?a-
| tons in the estimation of its cost. the
canary colored diamond is sometimes
as valuable as the white, but the ordi-
nary yellow tinted stone is worthless,
and the price runs down until you
reach the black diamond. which is com
monty used for manufacturing pur-
poses The shape of Il diamond has
much to do with its beauty and value.
The finest cut is known as the "bril-
liant" which, when it can be carried
out correctly, gives diamond 81
faucuts and tapcrs toward a blunt
point at the back The crosse" cut is
inferior, for ii is given to chips from
large stones and to diamonds which
are flaw on the bottom and thin and
small.
