The total sum sub- scribed and paid was $190.65. Question 20 was agaim called and the different ministers mede their report and characters passed as were they cailed. Announcements were made and the contererence adjourned. Bishop Wilson dispatches business rapidly and seemingly without any es- pecial effort. It was the biggest day’s. work ever done the first day at conter— ence. drerses. in THE BAZAAR. Many People Attending—Prize Win- ners—‘‘Oh !

A buff Leghorn pullet, exhibited at the chicken fair in Madison Square Garden, in January, 1892, was Val. ued at $100. ee ‘The costliest paintings of modern times have proved to be Meissonier’s | “1814” and Millet’s “The Angélus,”’ M. Chauchard gave 850,000 francs ($170,000) for ‘1814’ and 750,000 francs ($150,000) for The Angelus,” Mr. Henry Hilton in 1887 paid $66, - | 000 for Meissonier’s “Friedland, 1807,”’ and presented it to the Met- ropolitan Museum of Art. That was the highest price ever paid fora modern picture until ‘The Angelus’ was sold at the Secretan sale for 583,000 francs. Of course the after- sales of the two great pictures men- tioned broke even this record, The shah of Persia has a tobacco pipe worth $400,000, : The most costly book in the world is declared to be a Hebrew Bible now in the Vatican, In the year 1512 it is said that Pope Julius II re- fused to sell this Hebrew Bible for its weight in gdld,, which would amount to $103,000. This is the greatest price ever offered for a book. ‘ In the *year 1635 a tulip bulb was: Sold in Holland for $2,200. It weigh. ed 200 grains, 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. The largest sum ever asked or offered for a single diamond is £480,- 000, which the nizam of Haidarabad ; ee ‘| agreed to give to Mr. Jacobs, the incorrigible, as he balanced on his| 25 8 famous jeweler of Simla, for the ‘imperial’ diamond. ’ This is con- sidered the finest stone in the world. The costliest toy on record was a broken nosed wooden horse which belonged to Napoleon Bonaparte, 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- turer’s 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 handsome’ 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 “G. R.,”’ and with a crown, and also containing the hair of the Princesses Augusta Elizabeth, Mary Sophia and Amelia, and inscribed, “The Gift of the Princess Mary, 1804,” The costliest mats in the world are owned by the shah of Persia and the sultan of Turkey. The shah and the sultan each possesses a mat made of pearls and diamonds valued at over $2,600,000. The largest mat ever mado is owned by the Carlton club of Lendon, and is a work of art.—National Magazine. wo cine monte leo, If the present ratio of increase in manufacture is kept up for 25 years, the United States. will be as impor- tant a manufacturing as it now isan ‘agricultural country.
