VII llNlGSs
There Are 4 Number of Varieties, ane
All Are Not Blue.
''There was a time in the history
of jewelry when the sapphire occu-
pied a place equal to that of the
brilliant" said an old jeweler. "Un-
happily it is with stones as with
everything else-they are the sub
iects of the caprice Of fashion. At
this particular time the diamond
and the ruby are in favor.
"Sapphires exhibit an exceeding
ly numerous variety, both as to
quality and color. The most beau
tiful reach US from India, are of
rather deep blue and make a very
rich setting when surrounded with
diamonds or mounted parallel with
the other. They go equally we'll
with high grade pearls and are
much less harsh than rubies of or
binary quality. Stones of this high
grade quality still fetch a good
price, although they are far from
rivaling the price of good rubies.
EThe second quality of sapphires,
called the sapphire of Ceylon, is
deep like the first, but with this
difference, that when looked at by
transmitted light it is of a greenish
hue. In the evening by artificial
light it exhibits only its greenish
hue.
"Among the inferior grades may
be mentioned the dark sapphire,
frosted and clouded like the ruby,
for scientifically the ruby is moth
ing but red sapphire. Sapphires
of still more ordinary quality are
a pale blue, with hoary appear
ance. Their price is insignificant.
"The hardness and density of the
sapphire is the same as that of the
ruby, to which family it belongs. It
is very easily initiated by synthetic
sapphires or by doublets, which ex-
hibit the tone Of the sapphire very
closely.
Gas already stated, there are
many varieties of both quality and
color in the sapphire. Among the
fanciful colors are the rose red
sapphire and the deep yellow topaz
ike sapphire, which is much more
sparkling than the topaz and emits
rays which forbid its being con-
founded with the latter. Finally
there is the white sapphire, which
could very readily be mistaken for
a crystal, from which it can never
theless be differentiated in the same
way as the yellow stone, for it emits
very sparkling rays, while the crys-
tai appears dead. In spite of this
quality the white sapphire cannot
be mistaken for the diamond. These
stones are not met with in the reg
ular course of trade. They serve
rather as collection treasures.
zone collector has gold brooch
forming a quarter foil, in which
sapphires are set in the shape of
pears, and each leaf is represented
by one of the colors above referred
to-rose, white, yellow and ceylon
blue.
-"rhe rarest is the starred sap
phire. This is, properly speaking,
not a sapphire at all and is of a
reddish gray color. This stone has
a starred center, from which
emerge FIVE or six branches, or rays,
and is sparkling beyond descrip-
tor" New York Sun.

1t is astonishing how much you can
learn from people in social intercourse
when you know how to look at them
tightly, but It is fact that you can
only get a great deal out OF them by
giving them great deal yourself
The more you radlate yourself. the
more magranInous you are; the more
generous Of yourself. the more you

also in the stock business, and prob

best methods of eradicating the pests
than any man in the state. Last win

coyotes and other predatory wild ami
mails are becoming scarce in the
Baggs country, and on a stretch of
range 80 miles long by 20 wide,
where Mr.. Allen and his neighbors
have been operating, a live coyote is
seldom seen, while the prairies are
strewn with skinned carcasses of the
animals. Mr.. Allen admits that a few
dogs were killed by eating the pois-

easily replaced than are the thou

annually fall prey to coyotes.

During March more than $4,000
went astray in the mails and through
the diligence of the dead letter office
s4l93 of 1t was returned to the send
ers. More than million pieces of
mail matter went to the dead letter
office during that month because
they did not bear return directions.
That number was nearly $4,000 more
than in the corresponding month in
1903. In these figures Postmaster
General Hitchcock finds added argu-

no legislation should be enacted that
would stop the government from
