Two Very Old Ladies'.

We have heard great deal lately
about long-lived people, but 1t is prob
able that the oldest two people in the
world today are Frau Dutkevitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika
The former lives at Posem, in Prus-
sian Poland, and was born on Febru-
airy 81, 1855. 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 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 never quilted
during the whole OF her long life. She
