On Saturday Mr.. Aaron McKenney, OF
Saco, Me-. celebrated his 101st birthday. A
physician, who was present, examed his
pulse and otherwise tested his vitality, and
pronounced him as strong and well preserv-

very fair hand, without the aid of glasses,
furnishing each of his friends with his au-

At Norwich, Conn.,, last week, two little
children played at making ice-cream with
snow and milk, and favored 1t with aconite
instead OF vanilla. The doctor gave them
an antidote and ordered brandy, but under
the no-license law the druggists dared not
cell any liquor for any purpose. The spirit
was finally procured and the children's
lives saved through Its action, though
when they vomited up the poison their
limbs were sold and stiff and their skins
purple.
