The Dearest Book in the world.

What was the highest price ever given
for any bookf We may venture to say
that we know Of one for which sum OF
250 600 francs ($10, 0O0) was paid by its
present owner, the German government.
That book is a missal, formerly given by
Pope Leo X to King Henry VIII Of
England, along with parchment
comforting on that sovereign the right
Of assuming the title Of Defender Of the
Faith" borne ever since by English
kings Charles ii made a present OF the
missal to the ancestor Of the famous
Duke Of Hamilton, whose extensive and
valuable library was sold some years ago
by Messrs. Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge
Of London. The book which secured the
highest offer was a Hebrew Bible in the
possession Of the Vatican. In 1912 the
Jews Of Venice proposed to Pope
julius ii to buy the Bible and to pay for
it its weight in gold 1t was so heavy
that 1t required two men to carry it. In
deed, it weighed 1926 pounds, thus repre-
senting the value Of half a million OF
Francs ($20. 000) Though being much
pressed for money, in order TO keep up the

Mexican Manners and women,

A letter to the Philadelphia Times
says: "The manners of the upper class
are easy, polished and dignifed and their
powers of conversation, both grave and
gay, would lay into deep shade many
of the magnates of our own proud Re
public. They do not depend on language
alone to express the finer shades Of
meaning, but resort TO gesticulation
with an easy grace that Is in perfect
harmony with the articulate character Of
their spoken words And while they do
not indulge their pleasures and smiles
with anything like the noisy freedom Of
Americans, their viyacity and suavity Of
manner is charming.
There are certain forms Of polite
speech that have come down to these
people from the Spaniards that are OBJ.

were matters of vital Importance. For
instance, If you look through gentle
mans house and grounds, and say TO

senior, he will reply: 'It is yours, senior

disposal. To this you are expected to
reply: mo, senior, II could not be in
better hands than your own" How one
of these Dons would receive a Yankee
suggestion Of readiness TO take possess

A Mexican courtship is the tamest
kind of excitement. The young Don

The suitor expresses his ardOr by
