PRECIOUS STONES.
Ancient Myths About the Origin of
Various Gems.

Ancient Myths About the Origin of
Various Gems.
The Indians called rock crystal an
'unripe diamond" and until the be-
ginning of the eighteenth century India
was thought to be the only land which
produced that precious stone. 1t was
not. therefore, until the discovery Of
India that the diamond was known to
US. Yet as far back as 500 B. c. q
'Didactic History" Of precious stones
was written, and in Pliny's time the
supply must have been plentiful. as
he wrote: 1--WE 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 whence
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
a 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 Bacchus, 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.
The pearl was thought to be a dew
drop the shell had opened to receive.
AmbDr was said to be honey melted
by the sun. dropped into the sea. and
CONCEALED. According to the Talmud.
Noah had no light in the ark but that
which came from precious stones. =

LONGEST SUIT ON RECORD.
Thirty Years of Litigation In the Ger
man Courts.

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
over--it was SO large that the courts
and the lawyers did not get 1t 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 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 its tribute. Then the
Duke went to law.
In the good old days the robber
baron ancestors of the Duke would
have called out their men-at-arms,
swooped down on that coal company
and 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
downed by the descendant of the rob-
Der baron, and the Westphalian Coal
company will have to pay arrearages
of tribute to the Duke mounting 20
$36,000,000. The annual income of the
Arenbergs from the mines is about
81 10000 So now they are rich, but
IL the suit had gone against them they
would have been practically ruined.
That lawsuit was getting to be their
principal asset. AS for the coal ba-
rons. they are in state of mind" and
will probably try to arrange a compro-
mise.

Woman and Vain Man.

We denote than two hundred women
voted last week In Mount Vernon

us that this was because they voted

that no doubt the degradation would

ernor. 1t seems hard ON the candi-

However. man will not let the Mount
