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 Dutlzievitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika.
The former lives at Posem, in Prus-
sian Poland, and was born on Febru-
airy Fl, 1856. 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
remembers events which happened at
the beginning of last century much
more clearly than those of the last
40 years.-Dundee Advertiser.

PLANTING Wedding 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 af-
ter the marriage ceremony plant cou-
pie of oak saplings side by side In a
park or by the roadside of their ma
tive town.
The town of Mulchausen. in Thurin-
gia, is the first to respond to the pr1n-
cess appeal. A municipal official APP
pears at the church door after every
wedding and invites the bride and
bridegroom to drive with him In car
riage to a new road near the town and
there plant oak saplings.
The tree planting idea was started
by former elector of Brandenburg
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 number OF
fruit trees.

Vivid at Least.

DR.. Hiram g. Cortlandt, the we'll
known theologian Of Des Moines, said
In a recent address:
Thomas A. Edison tells us that he
thinks the soul is not immortal; but,
after all, what does this great wizard
know about souls? His forte Is cleo
tricity and machinery, and when he
talks of souls he reminds me irresist-
IDLY of the young lady who visited the
Baldwin locomotive works and then
told how a locomotive Is made.
"'You pour she said, a lot of sand
into a lot of boxes, and you throw old
stove lids and things into furnace,
and they you empty the molten stream
into a hole in the sand, and everybody
yells and swears. Then you pour 1t
out and let it cool and pound it, and
then you put 1t in a thing that bores
holes in 1t. Then you screw 1t to-
gether, and paint 1t. and put steam in
it, and it goes splendidly; and they
take it to drafting room and make
a bluep rint Of 1t. But one thing for
got-they have to make a boiler. One
man gets inside and one gets outside
and they pound frightfully; and the1
they tie it to the other thing, and yol
ought to see it go!'"

An Alaskan Luncheon.

Runners of woven Indian basketry,
with white drawnwork doilies at each
of the - covers, were used on an oval
mahogany table. The doilies were
made at Sitka. In the middle of the
table a mirror held a tall central vase
of frosted glass, surrounded by four
smaller vases, all filled with white
spring blossoms. The edge of the
mirror was banked with the same
flowers. Four totem poles were placed
on doilies in the angles made by the
runners.
Place cards were water colors OF
Alaskan scenery. Abalone shells held
sailed nuts, and tiny Indian baskets
held bonbons. The soup spoons were
of horn, several of the dishes used
were made by Alaskan Indians, and
the cakes were served on baskets.
The menu was as follows: Poisson
a la Boring Sea (halibut chowder)
Yukon climbers (broiled salmon, po
tatoes Julienne), snowbirds avee
auroraborealis (roast duck with jelly)
Shungnak river turnips, Tanana
beets, Skagway hash (salad). Fair

An Unnecessary Confession.

A hearty laugh was occasioned at
the Birmingham police court by pris-
oner who gave himself away in very
delightful manner. The man was the
first On the list, and the charge against
him was merely one Of being drunk
and disorderly. He stepped into the
dock, however, just at the moment
when the dock officer was reading out
few Of the cases which were to come
before the court that morning, and
guilty conscience apparently led him
to mistake these items fer list Of his
previous convictions.
He stood passive enough while the
officer read out about dozen drunk
and disorderlies, but when he came to
one "shopbreaking" the prisoner ex-
claimed excitedly, THAT was eight
years ago, your honor" Everyone be-
gan to laugh, and the prisoner, realiz-
ing the blunder he had made, at first
looked very black indeed, but finally
saw the humorous side of the matter,
and broad smile spread over his face.
His blunder did not cost anything

Bankers and Bank Notes.

Four men, three of whom were con-
nected with brokerage concerns in the
Wall street district, were discussing
United States paper currency and the
disappearance Of counterfelts. 1--WE
are so sure nowadays" said one OF
the party, "as to the genuineness OF
bills that little attention Is paid to
them in handling, except as to de-
nomination." To prove his assertion
he took a $40 yellowback from his
pocket, and, holding it up, asked who
could tell whose portrait it bore. No
one knew, and by way of coaching
the broker said it was the first treas
urer of the United States. Again nc
one knew the name. "Why, It's
Michael Hillegas,' said the mar
proudly. But in confidence, I'll tel
you, l didn't know it five minutes

he chooses to go on with his learn
ing, he can get into the GRADUATE
course without further preparation
and obtain the degree Of doctor

chemical and pharmaceutical analysis
practical pharmacognosy pharmaceu

physiological chemistry. bacteriology

which takes up the analysis Of food

this educational training, which re
auires not more than four years, he II
prepared to take up the most advanced
chemical work and Is in direct line tt
become a specialist, with all thu
emoluments and honors that such
profession would give him. His worl
would in all likelihood be with somt
manufacturing chemists after leaving
school, unless he went for year o.
two in a drug store to give him lit
tie more practical basis, where hi
could develop any specially he might
wish to, and he might advance him
self as a bacteriologist, which Is one

Leaving school at the conclusion o.
his first course, however, his mos'
likely procedure would be to take the
examination before the state boare
and become licensed pharmacist
This would entitle him to 60 into any
drug store at salary ranging iron
$40 to $50 week.

a few of the largest drug stores thu
managers are paid as much, perhaps
as $4,000 a year; but these positions
are scarce.
In these conditions, your ambitious
boy will aim, of course, to have
business of his own. This requires
money, however, which'he must eithe
have saved or borrow. It will requir
at least $4,000 to open a store of nj
own in a small town, OF which prof
ably $1,000 would be need as frs
payment on the $4,000 worth of good
he would need as stock, and the res
20 for fixtures, etc. Most of the jot
bers would be apt to let him hav
goods by paying half down, acceptin
a mortgage for the balance.
From then on your boys growth wi
depend upon himself as an indepent
ent merchant: but as he has exercise
care in his choice of place, and tn
profits in drugs are enormous, Their
is little likelihood of his not al
vancing to any reasonable status h
may aspire to. And, anyhow, WHIT
ever heard of a drug firm failing
You may have, but not often.
