Other Tints Are Sometimes Found
 Among Ceyion Gems.
 'It Is commonly believed that the sapphire Is known only as gem of a tich yelvety blue in color," observed an experienced dealer in precious stones to the writer the other day. "As a matter of fact. the sapphire occurs in various hues. In Ceylon, for in. stance, where the finest specimens of this gem are found, it ranges from the soft velvety blue to the peacock blue, graduated in the latter to an almost .aultless white. It also occurs in whites, greens and yellows, the latter shade being known as the oriental to, paz and the green the oriental emerald. The white sapphires are often found clouded or streaked with blue. so that many specimens are cut which are white when looked at transyersely but having bit of fine blue tint on the under point. Then there Is the red sapphire, or Ceylon ruby. It is valued as aighly as the finest Burmese rubies. hese most highly prized are of rich pigean blood or rose-rea color. Some Very fine sapphires have been found M Montana during the pcst ten years. me American gems are light blue, olue-green. green and pink, but the oeep blue and red stones, which are chiefly in demand as jewels, have so far never been discovered in any part of this country :" Washington Star.

FILIPINO COIN.

Secretary Gage, of the Treasury de- a currency plan for the Philippine isl ands which has received the approval of the cabinet, and will be submitted to Congress by the President with his recommendation that legislation be enacted to adopt 1t. Trade just now is much embarrassed, says the Wash ington correspondent of the Chicago Record in discussing Secretary Cages scheme, because the scarcity of Mex i an silver dollars. which for many years has been tue standard of value and circulating medium in all tine East Indies. This scarcity is due to the presence of 75,0a0 or 80.000 for eign soldiers in China, who have been paid regularly in the money of their own countries aud are compelled to change it for Mexican dollars before it is of any use o them. The Mexican government, realizing that the unus- ual demand for dollars will soon em- barrass bushes ia that country, has taken means to prevent further expo ration, and consequence is rise ill their value and 6 great scarcity every where.
 "It is thought best to provide a spec ial coin for the Philippines of silver. because they have always been accus- toned to use that metal exclusively and the disadvantages and difficulties that would attend an attempt to in- troduce our own system of currency over there are so great that the plan has ben abandoned. It is proposed. therefore, by MT. Gage to ask Con gress for authority to coin an unlimit- ed number of Filipino dollars bearing emblems of local significance and evi- dence that they were coined by the United States. Each of these dollars, or whatever the coin may be called, will contain 45 cents worth of silver bullion, and they will be furnished in unlimited quantities to those who are
 
 them. They will also be redeemable in gold at the option of the holder The margin of 2 cents is to give elas- ticity to the coin which vii naturally advance the price of silver if it is is sued in any great quantities. These coins will be Gisbursed by the govern ment in the payment of it's regular ex- penses at the different army posts In the Philippines at their face value, which is 50 cents in American coin, and it is believed that they will soon displace the Mexican dollars. which contain little more silver, and are therefore of greater intrinsic value. At the present price of bullion the Mexican dollar is actually worth about 3 cents, and the proposed dol lar will be worth only 45 cents. The proposed coinage would absorb S2,- coo, ,000 or 3,o00000 worth of silver a month indefinitely, and it is believed tha it would eventually take the place of Mexican dollars in China and the East Indies, although the orientals are very conservative and would hesi- tate to adopt new fC m of money"

 Just Q year ago some manufacturers of artistic textiles touring in Donegal resolved on establishing a place for the making of hand-tufted carpets of the description generally known as Turkish, or Persian" The peculiar ity of this fabric $ that from it's na- ture it must be hand production. The tufts are tied by the fingers in knots In longitudinal warps, which are stretched between two long parallel beams. The carpets are made to the size and shape of any room. The de- sign is placed in front and the girls from three to dozen, according to the size of the carpet, select the colors indicated row by row, which are tied, then bound down by shoots" of wool en weft drawn across the entire width and beaten firm by small iron-toothed hammers There is interesting variety and pleasure in the work, and it Is such that individual skill and work manship come largely into play. Alto- gether, it is just such an industry as Is suited to the rural districts of Ire land. No steam power is required and there is therefore TO handicap on the commercial side by the absence of coal. The first years experiment with the Irish girls has proved that they are ad- mirably adapted for the work. The girls show a nimbleness of fingers and sharpness of eye for color and forW that have quite astonished their teach CTS and they take to the work with a spirit and cheerfulness quite refresh ing. So convinced are the promoters of it's ultimate success that they hava planned out broad scheme that will spread the work all over the west oi Ireland and give employment to many hundreds Of girls and boys-London l Furniture Record.
