laws of health he would not die.

lighted and allowed to burn to the
end while bidding takes place. And
once again the old Gothic court
yard OF the celebrated hospital haS
been filled with visitors from all
over Europe to watch the board
where the latest prices are posted
Owing to the small grape harvest
and the excellent quality OF the
zines, the interest OF the dealers
was at high pitch.
One lot Of nearly 1000 quarts
brought $1,000, which Is consi4
cred q fine price. In all. the red
wines brought over million
francs.
The total Is nearly 100000 francs
more than the returns Of last year.
This hospital, known as the Hos
pices de Beaune, was acquired -
1859 and then comprises but four
acres. They have since grown to
