The Oldest Twin sistrrs.

Among the visitors in Amsterdam
at the present time are two remarkable
ladies, twins, who are probably the
oldest twin sisters now living. They
are the guests of ex-Superyisor Hand.
One Of them, Mrs. Elmer Bennett, Of
Fonda, is the mother of Mrs. Hand,
and the other is Mrs. Almira Conkling,
OF Harlem. They were born in Duanes-
burg, Schenectady county, Sept. 3,
1909, ard henceare So years old. They
are remarkably preserved, and are as
active and cheerful as if out two score
years had passed over them. They
also read and write'as we'll as ever. A
sister, Mrs. Abrams, now living near
Duanesburg, will be 80 years old this
fell, while a brother, Marvin Strong,
Of Schenectady, has reached IS years.
Lewis j. Bennett, of Buffalo, who ac-
oompanied Maj. A. V. Morris on bis
Mexican trip, is a son of Mr. Bennett.
The New York World is on a hunt for
the oldest twins in the country and up
70 date Harvey and Henry Newton,
Of Earlville, n. Y, who were born In
Colchester, Conn, Nov. 2, 1900, hold
the twin banner as brothers. Mrs.
Bennett and Mrs. Conkling, however,
are the oldest twin sisters, so far as
known. Henry and Douw Fonda, Of
Fonda, are only a month older than
they .-Ams.erdam On. " Recorder,

Canada's Wealth.

Those who are in the habi. of con.
sidering Canada as antarctic and ste.
rile country will be surprised TO hear
that she has one.fourth more land tit
ted to wheat cultivation than tho
whole United States. In 1887 the
yield Of wheat in our " country
was a little over twelve bushels per
acre. ln the same year Manitoba
alone raised ~. 500, 900 bushels, and av-
eragod twcnty-seven bushels per acre.
The climate Of Canade docs not hind
er, but contributes 10, the wealth and
enterprise Of her people She has
more timber Of every possible dcscrip-
ton than both she and the United
States could consume in a hundred
years. She hus more iron and coal
than any other country in the world.
She has probably more copper than all
other countries combined, and there Is
no telling what lies hidden under In,
