There are to be found in the papers
every day for the last week or SO an
14ouneements that various industries are
Starting up again, giving a considerable
number of men employment. This is in
part due to routine causes. The season
of activity is setting in, and it is in the
ordinary line of business for all concerns
that can see any sales ahead to start up
the seasons prospects.
1t cannot be determined, however, that
the tone of business has changed for the
better. The tremendous anti-Bryan DEM
constructions in Vermont and Maine and
the collapse of the so-called Arkansas
victory, have put a good deal Of heart
into business men. The new movement
is in some cases taking the shape of con-
ditional orders. For instance, Connecti-
cut manufacturer who get up goods for
the holiday trade are receiving orders
with such clauses as the following, APP
pended
This order is understood to be can
celled in the event of Bryan's election
We shall not want these goods unless
Mckinley is elected.
Ship the enclosed order if the election
goes against Bryan
A large Western patent medicine house,
we are told. accustomed to place extensive
contracts for advertisements with the
newspapers, in renewing contracts now
provides that it may cancel them in case
Bryan is elected.
Such methods of doing business how
what is feared in the eomBhercial world.
They give expression to the widespread
belief that unparalleled disaster awaits
the business interests of the country if
Bryan is elected. Such activity as is
now displayed in the offspring of the
growing conviction that his election is
impossible.

AN HONORABLE VEGETABLE.
The Onion Has Its Admirers-The Ana

The Onion Has Its Admirers-The Ana
 conda (Mont) Onion Society.
 The nutritious and wholesome onion occasionally finds its vindicators. At the thriving Montana city of Anaconda there is a dining club called the Ana conda Onion society. Its first feast was recently given with distinguished sue cess.
 Down the center of the hall, says the Anaconda Standard, was set long table, with cover for all the guests. At each plate was large and juicy onion: in the middle Of the table was an array of meats, bread, fruit-crackers, cheese and other things.
 At one end of the hall foated the standard of the club in proud conspic- uousness. It consisted of a pole sur- mounted by string Of the vegetables from which the socity takes it's name. On the wall hung this motto, beautifully wrought:
 IN ONION THERE IS STRENGTH.
 Each member wore pretty bouton- nier of little onions. The occasion was greatly enjoyed by all the participants and the society hopes to do much to re- store the onion to the honor and esteem Of the world.
 In Montana, as well as on the whole of the Pacific slope, the onion attains 8 deliciousness of quality which is com paratiyely unknown on the eastern side of the continent. If the people of the east could have onions as good as those of Montana and California, it is possible find imitators in the east.

ARMY BAND INSTRUMENTS.
Would Cost the British Government S1,-
 100000 to Change Their Pitch.

The British army bands use the high pitch, the queens regulations running as follows: In order to insure uni formity throughout the regimenta1 bands of the service the instruments are to be of the same pitch as that adopted by the Philharmonic society. The Philharmonic society has recently decided to adopt the lower pitch, and, accordingly, the queens regulations will doubtless have to be amended. It is estimated by competent authority that the cost of alteiing the instru- ments of the army bands to the lower pitch would amount to betw { 20O,- GOO and [ 800 COG; but 1t is more than doubtful if any chancellor of the ex- chequer would spend so large sum for such a purpose.

WAYS OF AUTHORS.
Some Writers Have Been Very Indus-
 trious and Painstaking.


 Industry and perseverance,, "an in finite capacity for taking pains,' if they are not indeed genius itself, as has para doXically been said, form at least the in dispensable accompaniments to it. Mr. Elder Haggard declares that he writes his books simply by keeping at work on them. And the industry of MT. Rudyard kipling may be measured by the fact that he is said to hare written ''The Record of Badalia Herodsfoot," seven times over, and then to have made con- siderable corrections on the proofs. The late Prof. Huxley was another writer whose industry in perfecting his liter ary expression, was only rivaled by his genius.
 Strikingly contrasteG with this neces- sity for industry, says Chambers Jour nal, have been the personal inclinations of some conspicuous writers. Thack- eray confessed that his besetting sin was laziness; he could never write, he said till the printers devil was at his door. The story, again, is told of Dickens, how onceina stationer's shop he was startled by hearing lady at the counter inquire whether the next number of certain novel, then appearing in monthly parts. were out yet. Little did the customer guess that the next part of the story was rot yet in existence, and that the gentle man at her elbow, in fact, stood there for the purpose of buying the paper upon which he intended to go home and write the chapter asked for

Mrs. HOWe's Husband.

Apropos of the "new woman" some body resurrected an old story the other day about Mrs. Juliet Ward Howe tEat may or may not be true. At all events, it was worth resurrecting. The story goes that Mrs Howe was one fine mo1n- ing walking down Beacon street, Bos- ton, when she met friend who asked her how Dr. Howe was. ''Dr. Howe?' repeated Mrs. Howe, vaguely. Then, as if suddenly recollecting herself: "Oh, he's quite well, I'm sure. remember seeing in the morning paper that he presided at some meeting or other last evening""

BRAVE AND COOL.
A Philadelphia Tenement-House Fire De-
 veIops & Young Heroine.

In January last a Philadelphia tene- ment house was burned. Two men were killed and several persons were badly inj jured, while others escaped in an al- most miraculous manner. The fourth floor was occupied by the family of Joseph Zellers. The father and mother seem to have been absent, but the five children were at home. All were saved through the bravery and coolness of the oldest of them, a girl of 16, whose conduct is briefly described by the Rec ord:
 Jenny Zellers was dressing the chil dren, the youngest mere babe, when cloud of smoke came into the room and at the same time the frantic cries of those below reached her ears.
 Hastily opening the door, she saw the flames leaping up the stairway toward her. Never hesitatinS, she closed the door, and calling the children together forced them up ladder and through a trap-door to the roof. They were ele vated high above the surrounding build ings, and below them the flames were roaring with terrible fury.
 Still retaining her presence of mind, the brave girl dropped her brother, lad of II, to the roof of the house to the south. It was fall of ten feet, but the boy landed safely, and then the girl hraved the fire in her doomed home to secure a quantity of bedding.
 This she threw to her brother, who arranged it on the roof, and then, one by cne, she dropped the other children The infant she took in her arms and leaped with it in safety to the bedding. Next she broke a slSylight in the roof to which all had escaped, and lowering the children through it, they all reached the street

ST. LOUIS, June 17.-In the session of the platform committee this morn ing the silverites were badly beaten.
 The Teller silver amendment to the platform was defeated in the commit tee by a vote of fl to 10. The silver senators declare themselves out of the party. Teller, Dubois, Cannon and other free silverites have, in the con- mittee on resolutions, announced their determination to bolt the Republican convention in case of the adoption of a gold standard plank.
 The states voting for the Teller amendment were as follows: Califor- nia, Allen B. Lemon; Colorado, M. H. Teller; Idaho, Fred T. Dubois; Mon tant, Charles Hartman; Nevada, A. c. Cleveland; North Carolina, M. L. Mott Utah, F. J. Cannon; Wyoming, F. F. Fowler; also the members from Ari- zona and New Mexico.

More Sent to South Africa Than Any
 Other Place.
 Although the greatest diamond mines in the world are in South Africa. Brazil exports more diamonds to that part than anywhere else on earth, says a London paper. The explanation is easy. They are black diamonds, and not of the kind used for jewelry. The place Of their greatest utility is underground in mines. South Africa does not pro- duce them, but it could not well get along without them.
 Black diamond is the hardest sub- stance known. Its utility has only been realized for about 20 years, and i'm provements are constantly being made in it. The rough stones are taken and split by machinery in a way that was unknown until recently. The split must follow the grain. If it does not the stone will be, wasted. Each stone is split into cubes of different sizes. The cubes are then welded into mining drills If they are to be used for boring The steel is cast about the diamond so that it cannot get loose. In the same way nearly all diamond saws are made. Every tooth is black-diamond cube It is fastened on when the steel DOT tion of the instrument is in molten state.
 The attempt to make these stones artificially has proven failure in every instance. The cost is greater than the market price of the Brazilian dia- mond.
 Black diamonds weigh ordinarily less than 100 carats, ranging all the way down to half carat. The largest in existence was found only short time ago, it's weight being 32O carats. The diamond was sold to a museum for eS,00O.

BIG JOHN MORIARTY.
Said to Be the TalIest and Strongest Man
 in Eastern Maine.

in Eastern Maine.
 John Moriarty, known all over east. ern Maine as Barney Kelley's Giant, ," died in Oldtown hospital recently of typhoid feyer, says the Lewiston Even ing Journal. He has been for nearly two years employed as construction hand on the Bangor & Aroostook rail road, and later on the new Ashland branch, where he became sick.
 Moriarty stood feet aA inches in his stocking feet, and generally weighed 24O pounds. Had he been fat his weight would have been enormous. But he was very lean. why" said Barney Kelley, you could feed the giant on porterhouse steak and eggs and he wouldn't gain a pound; but he was an awful tough mani"
 His arms were very long and he had hands as powerful as the paws of gorilla All over his body the muscles stood out in Jumps and cords, and his strength was immense. He could do as much work as two ordinary men, and on that account his services were al- way III uClilcllu llloi V tilcL wages. He was especially serviceable as a derrick man-he could turn the heavy crank all day without tiring An aX was like toy in his hands. a cant-dog like walking stick. He could up end and shoulder a small log or piece of timber that two ordinary men could barely lift, and in every department of hearty manual labor he was a very Hercules.
 Many stories are told of the giants mighty strength. Once, when two saucy woodsmen ''guyed'' him about his towering height, he seized them by the shoulders, one in each hand, and knocked their heads together till their teeth rattled-and they were two good sized men.
 At another time some toughs came into barroom where he was and pro- ceeded to ''clear the place out Mori- arty took them, two at a time, and pitched them half way across the street as though they were so many ninepins.

TIE MlLLER'S SONG.

Once she was dainty Dorothy. Dorothy of the
mill,
Sweet as a thorny wild rose that dews of even
ing fill.
Now she folds tattered petals around a wound
ed heart.
And, oh, her sister roses, they shrink from her
apartl
Do you remember, Dorothy, days that have
no~c away
With rose and lilac ard hawthorn fed with n
parted May?
Do you remember kisses snatched by the elder
tree,
Vows that We're made and broken-Dorothy,
Dorothy?
Since you were sweet and twenty many a rose
has died,
Many a rosebud broken her Jealous shostts
aside.
And who was queen Of roses is changed and
pale of blee.
No man now seeks Maid Marian; all men seek
Dorothy.
Allan-a.Dale is singing tonight in Avalon.
And there's no horn could waken Scarlet or
Little John.
Only the miller wanders the silent ways OF
Shere,
And would that he were lying dead OF you,
tborns, my dear.
