The OIdsst Woman in Connecticut
A despatch from Wilton, Conn :,
says: 'Tf the broken-down dyspeptics
who pin their faith on duly prescribed
viands could see Mrs. Cllrissa Daven
port Raymond at table they would be
filled with the bitterest kind Of envy.
Mrs. Raymond will be 105 years old
on the 25th of next April, and she is
the Oldest woman in ConnecticRt, but
she has preserved through all her
years o digestion that lie nearly un-
rivaled in the State. Although she
has been confined TO her bed for the
last five months, and her eyesight and
hearing have failed, her appetite re-
mains good. For breakfast she likes
TO have weak coffee, bread, cake and
buckwheat cakes, and the h5Gi items
appear on her bill of fare. Boiled po-
tatoes and cup of tea make up her
| usual dinner, but as she Is fond OF con-
diments the potatoes are well seasoned
with salt, pepper and plenty OF Yine-
gar. Supper is her light megl-just
bread and butter and hard cider. Mrs.
Raymond likes cider, and she likes it
hard. The beverage warns her up
and puts life into her, and makes her
feel young again. When anybody gets
to be one hundred years old people call
that person remarkable, but when a
centenarian enjoys hard cider and
buckwheat cakes it shows that old
fashioned New England constitutions
and digestions were built to last !"
