$4,000
in DIAMONDS
"HABITUALLY."

The investigation of the curious case
of Mrs. Isaac e. Emerson-and her
iamonds-nominally continues, though
nothing will ever be done about 1T. The
facts are sufficiently remarkable TO
stand review.
Mr. Emerson is the bromo settler
millionaire and he inhabits a mansion
in Baltimore. Not a great while ago a
burglar broke into this abode of wealth
and luxury and stole about $4,000
worth of diamonds. This was no
theatrical diamond case, either; the
jewels were real sparklers and worth
the money. Moreover, the burglar
might have had far richer haul if he
had exercised ordinary prudence in the
practice of his profession. He missed
100000 of diamonds that were right
under his nose.
In telling the story to a newspaper
man, Mr.. Emerson mentioned this fact,
abiding to the $4,000 worth of jewels
as "a small bunch of diamonds"
Naturally this Indifferent reference to
fortune made some stir in Baltimore;
an it resulted in the appeal tax judges
looking up the records and discovery
that the Fmersons were taxed for
household effects to the value Of &c.
49,
Mrs. Emerson was ait once requested
to explain. Why asked the authorities.
did she declare only $G.45O worth of
goods when she had $4,000 in dia-
monds? And this resulted in one of
the most remarkable statements ever
made to a court. Mr.. Emerson, appear
ing in his wifes behalf pleaded that
the jewelry was exempt because 1t was
in regular and ordinary daily use as
wearing apparel or to employ the
phrase Of the law, Mrs. Emerson wore
$4,000 worth of diamonds "habitually"
Though the judges nearly fell off the
bench they were inclined to believe,
when they recovered from the shock,
that the plea could be made good.
Among the little tIihes which Mrs.
Emerson habitually wears are a sun
burst composed of forty good big
diamonds; a watch, from Paris, so
completely covered with diamonds, that
almost nothing of the gold can be seen;
a pair of earrings of rubies, surrounded
by pearls, and another pair of enor-
nous solitaire diamonds; a diamond
dagger containing seventy stones and
worth $4,000, and a lorgnette. containing
a brown diamond--a most unique jewel.
the like of which is probably not to be
found in this country. Besides these,
she has more solitaire rings than her
fingers will conveniently carry.
If she really wears all these things
haIbitually, the members of her house
hold must carry pieces of smoked glass
for the benefit of their eyes.

Wheelmen in Training.

An experienced trainer. asked to con-
dense the best information he could
give a new racing man. answered as
follows: Eat almost every thing except
green stuff, POTATOES and turnips
Make beef, dry toast and weak tea the
principal articles of food Do not be
afraid of ice cream and ripe fruit at
your meals. Be in bed at 8 o'clock each
night and up at i'm the morning. Take
a cool spray bath on rising Do not
use tobacco or drink amy kind of liquor.
For rubbing mixtures so dear to all
racing men use witch hazel mixed with
a very little PEPPERMINT oil. Mix in the
proportion of one pint of witch hazel
to cents worth of the oil. Do not
depend so much on the mixture as on
the rubbing. Have the body well
rubbed over Knead each muscle. End
by briskly rubbing in order to bring
blood to the surface nicely"

HOW THEY
HUNT RATS
IN OHIO.

There is work for a Pied Piper Of
Hamlin out near Washington Court
House, Ohio, or perhaps it would be
more truthful to say there was work of
that sort. So great a pest did the rats
make of themselves that three hundred
men banded themselves together and
devoted ten entire days to the slaught-
er of the rodents.
And slaughter it was with a ven
geance, for when the hunt was over
and the results were all tailed up, it
was found that 11672 rats had come to
sudden end. They were hunted in
the highways and byways, driven out
of barns and from hiding places in the
fields. Many was the hand-fought bat
tie and many hunter learned to his
sorrow exactly how it feels to be bit
ten by a rat.
Tremendous rats many of them, some
as large as an ordinary cat, if the hunt
ers are to be believed, While the sizes
decreased until the wee baby rat, no
larger than mouse, was killed, large
ly because it could not run fast
Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-01-30

enough 1t may be thought that the
best aids to the rat hunter would be
the cats, but the famous cat of Bubas-
ties himself would have hardly been a
match for some of the grey whiskered
.yellow-toothed rodents that snarled de-
fiance as the yelping dogs bore down
upon them.
SO far is records show this is the only
rat hunt ever inaugurated anywhere
in such fashion. There are in the
cities professional rat catchers, and the
huge grey shapes that whisk in and
about the piers along the coast line and
are called wharf rats are, as rule,
considered beyond the power of the rat
catcher to drive away or annihilate. In
this Ohio hunt, however, the big BROTH
err of the wharf rat or a rat that was
big enough to be that, was very large
ly in evidence.
AS to the actual size of the rats the
story is told that the biggest of them
all measured IA inches from tip to tip.
The total weight of the entire catch
was between $4,000 and 10000 pounds.
Think of $4,000 pounds of rats being
killed in ten days and an idea of what
the granaries and grain Of the farmers
around about Washington Court
House suffered win be aptly conceived.
A curious fact in connection with
this conflict is that never until within
tn last two seasons have the rats
become so great a pest as to require
action of the nature just described to
successfully cope with them. Why
they should so suddenly increase in
numbers seems a mystery. Rats breed
very rapidly to be sure, but when they
almost triple in number in single
year it would indicate an extradordi-
nary birth rate or a wholesale rat inn
migration from some less favored To-
calfty.
AS a matter of fact rat Of Ohio and
a jack rabbit of Missouri may well be
placed in the same class so far as their
relative position toward the farmer
are concerned. Both have become such
nuisances that it seems very likely
hereafter that the annual rat hunt will
be quite as much the vogue in Ohio as
the jack rabbit hunt IS in the state
whose eastern shores are washed by
the placid Mississippi.

A QUEER
OLD MILL
IN KANSAS.

The hand of man is about to remove
the last memorial of the old days when
the grain of Kansas was ground
through the Influence of sails. The an
cient windmill at Lawrence will soon
be only a memory
When this mill was first erected. it
bore about the same relation to the
public mind as did the Deacon's ONE
boss shay, and that it would for a CEN
tury to come ever give place to other
ways of milling was never dreamed of.
SO for twenty odd years it's huge sails
swung about in the wind and gave the
power to grind all the wheat which the
Kansas farmers brought to it,
The building itself is octagon shane
and five stories high, the basement
story being of stone 40 feet across with
four foot walls The revolving dome is
20 feet in diameter. All the stlper-
structure is of hard native wood
even the shingles having been steamed
and split i'm Lawrence.
A large driveway through the base
ment rendered the handling of the
grain, the flour and meal wonderfully
convenient for the time in which the
mill began to operate, in the early sos.
A cord attached to a bell announced
to the miller at work in the third or
fourth story above that a customer was
waiting below A speaking tube
think of a speaking tube in a wind
mill-helped the latter to make known
his wants, a table of current market
prices and charges for grinding enabled
him to tell at glance how much cash
or grain he must pay and how much
grist he would get in exchange. A
large elevator was lowered to the farm
eT's wagon upon which he unloaded his
grain and from which he received his
flour, meal or bran.

A REAL
RACE TRACK
NOVELTY.

One of the greatest problems with
which the racing world has been forced
to wrestle is how to be able to con-
tinue racing to a convenient hour when
the darkness gathers fast in the early
afternoon. An Omaha man, e. G. Solo
mon, claims to have solved the problem
and has just patented a plan the trial
OF which will be among the interesting
features of the coming trans Missis-
sippi exposition at Omaha.
The object of the invention is the
lighting of race-tracks and other tracks
i'm a manner that win plainly show any
object that may be on any part of the
track at night. The search-lights are
on pole in the center of each turn
of the track, high enough up, prefer
ably so feet, so as to be out of the way
and observation of the spectators
throwing a steady light all around the
track to within about one hundred feet
of the grand stand.
The focus is so arranged that the
light covers the track and the whitened
walls erected on the outer edge of the
track. Lights are also hung directly
oNel Tire StFetcn anu UP SO nSn CnaI
with the shade reflector adjusted, the
rays of the light viii not come within
range of the spectators in the grand
stand.
The principal object is to make the
track as light as day and at the same
time have the lights so arranged that
they will not be seen by the spectators;
that is, SO that the spectators Will not
be bothered by the light shining in
their eyes. Throwing the light against
a white surface doubles the amount
thereof, and then no strain on the eyes
of the spectators. Again in the case of
horses trotting, pacing and running,
there are no shadows to bother the
horses, because it is a steady light SIM
liar to sunlight.
