CITY AND DISTRICT.

e. The local circulation Of The EVENING
STAR is not only the largest and fullest but it is
also the BEST. since the paper goes not alone
into the hands Of the people of the District of
Columbia as body, but regularly info hteir
hon.es,-into the families of all classes, and into
those Of the money-spending as well as the
money-earning portion of the community. An
advertisement in its columns therefore reaches
the eye of everybody worth reaching.

The Gutenberg Bible was naturally the chief
object of interest at the sale of the Brayton
Ives collection. which began yesterday after
noon at the American Art Galleries in New

famous volumes has been various estimated,
but the knowing ones among bibliophilesi are
pretty generally agreed that $4,000 is very
near the sum. Ii this the price originally
paid Mr.. Ives realized SI.80O upon his invest
ment. for the two volumes were sold Yesterday
to J.W. Ellsworth of Chicago for GA, 800. There
were three other would-be purchasers in the
field beside the Chicagoan who fought hard for
the treasure after the bidding had passed the

Personal Safety in Thunderstorm.

Permit me-" said a man in the
trade, ito give you the real motive that
the woman had when she asked for
glass cups in which to rest her brass
bedstead. l am sure that it was not in
order to prevent the bed from robbing
her of her electricity, but simply be-
cause glass is a nonconductor, and ev-
cry woman believes that lightning won't
strike anything that rests in glass cups
Il have seen highly respected rela-
tive of mine run to the pantry on the
approach of a thunderstorm and Sc
cure four glass preserve dishes, rest the
four legs of the chair therein and sit
serenely, while the rest of the feminine
household climbed under the bed or
got into the closets. 1t is supposed
that when lightning comes in a window
and sees a woman with her heels on
the rung of her chair, the legs of which
Che chair, not the woman) are in Gus
tard cups, that it turns around and
goes back again. "-Upholsterer.

A Poets Good Appetite.

Heinrich Heine, when a student at
Gottingen, was invited with fellow
student to take supper with Professor
Hugo and his hospitable wife. The
fare was simple and not too plentiful,
but one dish was viewed with conscious
pride by the hostess, who evidently
felt that nothing could be better for the
occasion; this was a small plate con-
tanning four fat sausages, with tempt
ing gravy and furnishings of green.
The choice dish was passed first to
Heine, who was in the full tide of a
long and animated discourse, setting
forth his opinions on some question
which had been started by the profess
sor
Instead of serving himself to one sau-
sage, and allowing the dish to proceed
on its way to the others who were eager
Iy expecting it, no seized the plate,
placed it before him, and proceeded to
dispose of one sausage after another,
not neglecting the gravy either, until
the furnishings alone remained to SHOW
the havoc he had made.
Coming to the end of his speech at
about the same time that he finished the
last sausage, he looked at the gloomy
faces about him, then at the empty
dish, discovered what had been the
meaning of certain spasmoGic attempts
on the part of Professor Hugo and his
distracted spouse to interrupt his flow
of language, and of course made pro-
fuse apologies.
But he was never invited to that
house for supper again-the chance of
being left supperless themselves was too
great for his hosts to risk it a second
time!-Youth's Companion.

The Earl of Derby's Harness Copied.
The richest equipage on the bOule-
wards at Saratoga will be that of Miss
Mayor Michael J. Nolan, of this city.
Not the least remarkable feature will
be the harness of the team of fine
horses, which has been made by an
Albany man and cost 81, 900.
All parts that could possibly be so
made are of English patent leather and
the rest is of the best American leather.
The loops are hand creased and orna-
mented with exceedingly pretty de-
signs
The trimmings are triple silver plated
on German silver and there are twenty
two solid silver mOnOgrams in all, worth
seventy-five dollars. The cost of the
trimmings alone was $475. The bits
are the celebrated Liverpool partsilver
bits. The pads, drops and other patent
leather parts are sewed with white silk
by hand. The pad and the forehead
band are trimmed with rich imported
English silk braid of dark green color.
The bride rOsette is also of green
silk. Russell reins are hand sewed with
white silk, and twenty-one feet six
inches long. The crosses are doubled
and the hand part of the reins is as
long as an ordinary pair of reins. 1t
took three months to make the harness,
and it is said to be exactly like one
made several years ago for the Earl of
Derby Argus.
