and one in Paris; the latter, the Count do Dreux, who
lived to the ago of 104. Some centenarians, however, still

(same department). At Paris there is a soldier named
Gallot, aged 106, who still goes with his wife, aged 104, to
receive his pension at the Ministry of War. A woman,
aged 106, also appeared recently as a witness at the Sixth
Chamber of Correctional Police, and another, a cantinere,
aged 117 years, living in the Rue Hauteville, broke her leg
recently, and the surgeons express the hope of curing her,
in consequence of her stxong constitution. Of the coute-
narians \rho died abroad, one in Canada and another at
Oran had reached the age of 120 years.-- Geipanis
