The most expensive book ever pub

Of the rebellion, which is now being
issued by the United States govern
ment at cost up to date of 81, 800, 900.
on this amount nearly one-half has
been paid for printing and binding, the
remainder to be accounted for in
salaries, rent. stationery, and miscel-
lAneous expenses. including the pur-
chase Of records from private indi-
viduals. 1t has taken ten years to
complete this work, which consists of
III volumes. The largest book In the
world is in the Chinese department of
tho British museum, and consists OF
6,Q20 volumes. This wonderful pro-
duction of the Chinese press was pur-
chased a few years ago for $4,000, and
Is one Of only three copies in existence.
1t is an encyclopedia of the literature
Of China, covering period Of twenty
eight centuries-from 1000 B. C. to 1900
A. D. 1t owes its origin to the liter
ary proclivities Of the Emperor Kang-
he. who reigned from 1862 to 1922. In
the course OF his studies OF the ancient
literature Of his country, Kang-he dis
covered that extensive corruption had
been allowed to creep into modern edi-
tions, and he conceived the idea OF
having the text and the originals re
produced, and preserved in an authori-
tative form. This was a mighty CON
ception, and in its execution 1t remains
unique down to the present day. For
the purpose of carrying out the work
kang-he appointed a commission of
learned men to select the writings tc
be reproduced. and employed the Jesuit
missionaries to cast copper types with
which to execute the printing. The
commission was occupied for forty
years in its great task. Before the
work was completed Kang-he died, but
he had provided that his successor
should see the book completed. The
book is arranged in six divisions, each
dealing with a particular branch of
knowledge. The divisions are thus
designated: First. writings relating to
the earth; third. writings relating to
mankind; fourth, writings relating to
inanimate nature; fifth, writings re-
lating to philosophy; sixth, writings
relating to political economy. New

Disciples of MCrmOnd ON
Roswell Field, in Chicago Post.

A most extraordinary and distressing
story comes from thS mountains of Tonnes
see. 1t is reported that Rev. Mr.. Sharrett
a gentleman who has reached the ripe age
of ninety-one years, has eioped from the
poorhouse with five women and has de-
parted for Utah to live Up to the princi-
pies of that interesting country. Exactly
why a gentleman of ninety-one years should
require the companionship of five women
We are unable to say. but If there ever was
time when Miss Helen Gould should rise
up and haste Roberts and his pernicious
teachings that time is right now. Primarily
We are sorry for old Mr.. Sharrett. IL he
succeeds in getting to Utah with his colony
he will be under the suspicious eye of spies
of the government and our Christian faith
and at the slightest breach of decorum he
will be arrested and jailed. OF course he
could keep on TO Sulu, but even this step
is full of hazard and perplexity. We cam
see the women and figure on the amatory
emotions of Brother Kiran, who is said to
be constantly looking out for agreeable ac-
ces;ions to his harem. We should imagine
that the average Tennessee poorhouse
would not turn out a specially attractive
article of feminine pulchri,ude, but Brother
Kiran may not be so particular We have
been led to infer. and may be spiteful
enough TO appropriate the ladies If only to
annoy Miss Gould and turn the laugh on
the women's clubs. 1t is clearly the duty
of the authorities TO apprehend Brother
Sharrett and his infatuated companions be-
fore they reach the land of trouble and
to notify Brother Kiran that under no con-
dtions will he be permitted to add the
ladies to his museum.

Horses.

UNION STOCKYARDS, Nov. 15.-About
go head of horses were offered i'm the auc-
ton, against 220 week ago and 200 a year
ago. The arrivals included an unusually
large number of high-class animals, and
the quality generally was more satisfactory
than for several weeks, but the proportion
of common to medium grades was large
enough TO hinder the sale of good stock 10
some extent. However, with a good at
tendance of buyers for the better class of
animals the trading at the STE was rather
lively at strong but not aotably higher
prices than those current two weeks ago.
1t was more difficult to effect salss in the
afternoon market, and in some instances at
least prices were not as high as in the
morning. Common to medium horses
moved very slowly and sales were usually
al unsatisfactory prices to the owner b.
hart Son, well-known horse dealers of
Martinsville, Ind, marketed some good ami
mails. including roam coach horse 16l
hands high, that was an exceptionally high
actor, and sold to NJ III. Reardon of New
York city. at $40. This. of course, was an
outside price, but the horse was proba bly,
better than any offered in this market this
season. Other sales were reported as high
as $3.50, and quite number of extra good
horses sold between Sl25 and SIS per head.
