TWO Very Old Ladies'.

We have heard a great deal lately
about long lived people, but It Is prob
able that the Oldest two people In the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika.
The former lives at Posem, in Prus-
sian Poland, and was born on Febru-
airy 81, 1885. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old.
The latter, however, Is nine months
her senior, having been born In May,
1884.
She is still a fairly hale old woman,
and for nearly one hundred years
worked IN the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100, and these now
make her a Joint allowance. She lives
at the village Of Bavelsko, whose
neighborhood she has quilted
during the whole of her long life. She
remembers events which happened at
the beginning Of last century much
more clearly than those of the last
40 years.-Dundee Advertiser.

PLANTING Weddinu Oaks.

Princess August Wilhelm, wife Of
the kaiser's fourth son, has set herself
the task OF reviving one Of Germany's
oldest customs, that according to which
newly welded couples Immediately AZ
ter the marriage ceremony plant a cou
pie of oak saplings side by side In .
park or by the roadside Of their n
tive town.
The town OF Mulchausen, in Thurin,
gia, Is the first to respond to the prin.
cess appeal. A municipal official ap
pears at the church door after every
wedding and invites the bride and
bridegroom to drive with him in a car
riage to a new road near the town and
there plant oak saplings.
The tree planting idea was started
by a former elsctor of Br~andenbura
with the object OF repairing the raw
ages caused by the 80 years war. The
elector forbade young persons to mar
ry until they had planted a number Of
fruit trees.

The doctor has confessed he did not
know whether he reached the north
pole or not, AMI in a magazine he
tells Of the mental and physical stress
he labored under on his journey north

DR.. Cook, speaking of the trip over
the ice, says:
There was little in the white waste
about me to occupy my attention.
Sometimes a spot on the horizon or
the twist of a dogs tail would fascin-
ate ME and hold my attention for
many minutes. During this time from
the early days Of u journey, as !

about the pole.
Then to bewilder one, to set one
laughing with silly amusement or to

early began a procession of mirages
and optical Illusions. The mental ef-
feet / find it difficult to analyze. Some
times these exaggerated transforma-
tons had the effect of bringing far Off
objects apparently near to us. This
often caused confusion in estimating
distances.

An Unnecessary Confession.

A hearty laugh was occasioned a

oner who gave himself away in q very
delightful manner. The man was the
first on the list, and the charge against
him was merely one Of being drum
and d~isorderly. He stepped into the
dock. however. Just at the moment
when the dock officer was reading out
a few Of the cases which were to come
before the court that morning, and q
guilty conscience apparently led him
to mistake these items fer a list Of his
previous convictions.
He stood passive enough while the
officer read out about a dozen drunk
and disorderlies, but when he came to
one "shopbreaking" the prisoner en-
claimed excitedly, That was eight
years ago, your honor" Everyone b.
