White makes a woman look big. in

''Black suits the fair" Ovid tells US.
It became Brisels; she was dressed in
black when she was carried off. it is
the thinnest color a stout woman can
wear; indeed, the woman who wears
black to best advantage is she who is
stout and has black eyes and hair. It
is an echo from Paris that in gowns
of certain colors flesh seems to shrink,
in others to expand. A subdued shade
Of blue, heliotrope, and olive green
with black, of course, are the colors
under which flesh seems least osten-
tatious, while wedgewood blue, pale
gray, and almost any shade of red are
to be avoided. Mauve and the higher
shades of green are the two colors that
in decoration about the throat and
shoulders are especially helpful in di-
minish3ng the effect of the flesh.

LONGEST SUIT ON RECORD.

Thirty Years OF Litigation in the Ger
man Courts
One of the longest lawsuits on rec
ord, and one which involved millions
OF dollars, has just been decided in
Germany after thirty years of litiga-
ton. Strange to say, there is still
something left Of the estate fought
overt was so large that the courts
and the lawyers did not get it all in
spite OF the long time the case was in
court. They got a good share, how
ever. The family of Arenberg live in
Belgium, but they own a snug little
duchy in Germany. The Duke of
Arenberg used to impose a toll of 20
cents on every ton of coal mined by
the Westphalia Coal company, whose
mines were in his domains. In the
general shape-up of the Franco-Prus-
sian war and the reformation of the
German empire which followed, the
Duke of Arenberg and his duchy got
lost in the shuttle, and the coal COM
pany ceased it's tribute. Then the
Duke went to law.
IN the good old days the robber
oaron ancestors Of the Duke would
nave called out their men-at-ar1ns,
s"ooped down on that coal company
ana hanged the president and board OF
directors to the castle gates. But the
coal baron having succeeded the rob
Der baron in these days, the Duke
went to law, and after thirty years he
has won his case.
For once the coal baron has been
do"ned by the descendant of the rob-
per baron, and the Westphalian Coal
company will have to pay arrearages
OF tribute to the Duke mounting 70
S36'ooo,000. The annual income of the
Arenbergs from the mines is about
$1'zoo,ooo! So now they are rich, but

PRECIOUS STONES.
Ancient Myths About tho Origin o
Various Gems.

Ancient Myths About tho Origin OF
Various Gems.
The Indians called rock crystal an
'unrlpe diamond" and until the be-
ginning of the eighteenth century India
was thought to be the only land which
produced that precious stone It was
not, therefore, until the discovery cf
India that the diamond was known to
us. Yet as far back as 500 B. G. q
'Didactic History" of precious stones
was written, and in Pliny's time the
supply must have been plentiful, as
ne wrote: I'VE drink out of mass of
gems, and our drinking vessels are
formed of emeralds." We are also
told that Nero aided his weak sight
by spectacles made of emeralds. But
1t is very difficult to determine whenxe
all the gems came, as discoveries took
care to leave no record. The nations
who traded in them were afraid Of
their whereabouts being KNOWN and
even the most ancient merchants
would not disclose any definite locale.
All sorts of myths have, accordingly,
sprung up concerning the origin of the
gems.
diamond was the name given to
youth who was turned into the hard
est and most brilliant of substances to
preserve him from ''the ills that flesh
is heir to- Amethyst was beautiful
nymph beloved by Bacch1s, but saved
from him by Diana, who changed
Amethyst into gem; whereupon
Bacchus turned the gem into wine
color, and endowed the wearer with
the gift Of preservation from intoxi-
cation.

by the sun, dropped into the sea, and

Noah had no light in the ark but that
