OUR olAMoMD-cUTTlNe INDUSTRY.
European Stones Recut in Anerica-How
the Work Is Done.

lPittsburg Dispatch.l
Are there any diamonds cut in this cityl'
was asked OF prominent Fifth avenue Jew
eler
None he replied; but we sometimes
have rough North Carolina stones given US
% be cut They are sent to New York or
Boston The art of cutting diamonds was
introduced into this country by Henry D.
Morse, OF Boston, in ISIS, but at present
there are several places in New York
and Chicago where this work is
done. The European stone is not
as finely carved as those cut in America
There they work to maintain the size and
weight Of stone regardless of its brilliancy,
but here brillisncy is the necessary requisite,
and frequently a stone brought from across
the ocean and already cut is made more val
liable here by recutting. 1t will be smaller,
but by this Improvement it is made more
valuable as an article of sale in this country.
In Europe they can sell everything that is a
diamond. Those cut here are more regular,
while the European stones are in all shapes
TO save material
What is perfect diamond.'
'One that is blue-white and brilliant Then
there are the pink and green stones, which
are also gems. They are peculiar colors, but
good. An oiT-color stone is one that is tinged
with yellow. Stones are reduced in price
according to the quantity Of yellow found.
think diamond cutting will be a great
industry in the large cities yet, for
Americans do the finest work But thers is
is not enough work here for a single lapidary,
though for initial cutting in stones thinI,
there is employment here for good workmen.
We how send all that sort OF work to New
York, which is the center of this part of the
trade as Boston is of New England, Chicago
of the west, and San Francisco Of the Pacific
coast. The most of the diamond cutting of
this country is done by machinery Mr. Morse
has appliance in which he mounts two
stones III Il double lathe and uses one
against the other, very much the same as
the old hand method By the old way two
were cemeltei, each on the end Of
a separate stick, or handle, and they were
rubbed together with strong pressure by
hand Mr.. Morse cracked the ice by cutting
the celebrated Virginia diamond in 1859. and
since then the industry has grown consider
ably. There is NO tariff on the uncut stones,
while the cut diamond is subject to a very
heavy import duty. That fosters the in
duStry.'
What becomes of the DUST"
1T is called host and is used in cleaving or
polishing diamonds. Cleavage i, the follow
ing of the sides of the capitalization OF the
stone. As general thing it can lie more
highly polished, AMI is therefore the more
brilliant Sometimes they are so hard that
they cannot he polished. The chips that
come OF in cleaving are used to represent
The eyes of animals AMI birds. The rage for !

Every Other Saturday.


We both walked slowly DER the yellow grass
Beneath the sunset SKY;
And then he climbed the stiis did not pass
And there We said goodbye.
He paused one moment; leaned on the stile
And faced the hazy lane;
But neither of us spoke until We both
Just said goodbye again
And ] went homeward to our quaint old
farm,
And be went on his way;
And he has never crossed that field again,
From that time to this day.

To what he left behind
As start sometimes dreaming that hear

IL he had said but one regretful word,
Or | had shed q tear
He would not go alone about the world,
Nor lit lonely here
Alas! our hearts Were full of angry pride,
And love was chokei in strife;
And 50 the stile, beyond the yellow grass,
Stands straight across our life

one position more than few
minutes at time. lie would get up
from his easy chair and lay down on the
bed; then he would get up and sit for
few minutes in the chair, but the agony
he suffered was so terrible that he would
again get up and stagger from room to
room, until, becoming exhausted, he
would drop in his easy chair and close
his eyes as If in a doze.
He was unable to take his usual
amount of nourishment, and shortly be-
fore noon became very weak, but under
the influence of medicated hypOdermic
injections he rallied again, and for
couple of hours seemed much better, aud
at times chatted pleasantly with the
members of his family.
