The most costly book in the world

The costliest meal ever served, as
far as history shows, was a supper
given by Aclius Verus, one of the
most lavish of all the Romans of
the latter day, to a dozen guests,
The cost of this supper was §,000
sesterces, which would amount to
£48,500, or nearly $250,000, A cele-
brated feast given by Vitellius, a
Roman emperor of those degenerate
days, to his brother Lucius, cost a
little over $200,000. Suetonius says
that this banquet consisted of 2,000
different dishes of fish and 7,000
different fowls, besides other courses
in proportion.
Vitellius, fortunately for his ex-
chequer, did not reign very long,
else that would have been exhaust-
ed, as well as the game preserves of
Libya, Spain and Britain and the
waters of the Carpathian and Adriat-
ic seas. One dish alone at the table
of the Emperor Heliogabalug cost
$200, 000.

sidered the finest stone in the world.
The costliest toy on record was a
broken nosed wooden horse which

and was sold a few years ago for
1,000 franes.
The costliest cigars ever brought
to this country were a box of the
brand specially made for the Prince
of Wales in Havana, the manufac-
turerTs price for which was $1.87
apiece, Quite a popular cigar among
some of the rich men in New York
is aspecial Henry Clay which comes
in a handsomeT box, wrapped in goid
foil, and retails for $1. 40 apiece,
The largest price ever paid for a
cane was bid at an auction in Lon-
don of the walking sticks which
were once the property of George
UI and George IV. It.was £18, or
$90, and was given for a walking
stick of ebony, with a gold top, en-
graved oG. R.,�T and with a crown,
and also containing the hair of the
Princesses Augusta Elizabeth, Mary
Sophia and Amelia, and inscribed,
