ement and before 1t was extinguished
the Is families in the building and all

Hospitals.

Hospitals.
The only hospitals in antiquity were
for slaves and soldiers. The rise OF
hospitals is wrapped in mystery. but
beyond doubt they are the product OF
Christian teaching. 1t is pretty GER
tain that hospitals, arose out OF the
early homes for travellers and the
poor. The Institution is clearly OF
eastern origin. About 270 A. D.
Basilius founded the famous hospital
Caesarea. St. Augustine speaks OF
hospitals as being quite new In MS
day. In 1854 Pope Synmachus
built, three in Rome. In the sixth
century there was very large one in
Lyons. In fact. about this time they
appear all over the pale of Christen-
dom.-Chicago Examiner.

 For Harry Enge|

With 5000 in cash to add to his roke on June 5, and slO,OO0 more to be added next season, Harry Engle, one of the first stakers of Flat creek and a pioneer in the Iditarod. will hike for the outside shortly after the opening of navigation, to roam the merry mead ows of sunny California.
 Harry has just sold all his interests in the Iditarod for Sl5,00O, the pur- chaser being James Frost, partner of Hans Olson, who last winter bought all of Ole Laynon's interests. Laym0n is partner of Engle, and the deal was completed last winter in Spokane.
 According to the option on record here, Engle sells to Frost two-ffths of the lower fve-eighths of the Glen as sociation and one-eighth of the Alpha association, both on Flat creek and considered among the best claims on the creek. The deal also includes one- fourth of the Rainey bench on Otter and all other interests held by Eng e in this district. Those familiar with the ground say the purchase is bar gain.
 Engle is anxious to become gentle man farmer and will Immediately buy fruit ranch some where near Chico, California. On this ground he will raise citrons and things, consuming most of the product himself in the shape of dill pickles.
