TWO Very Old Ladies'

We have heard great deal lately
about Iong-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 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.

A heartrending tale of suffering and

engineer and prospector of Montreal,
who, emaciated and gaunt-visaged,
has come back here to civilization to
recover his health. Mr. Macleay says
that just before he started on his

Not Altogether Dead.

Mr.. Robert Butler of Marlborough,
England, has had the peculiar expe-
rience of hearing his death announc-
ed. He was attending the poor law
conference at Exeter when one Of
the delegates moved that, in conse-
quence of the death Of Mr.. Butler,
which they all regretted, another gen
tleman, whom he named, should be
appointed to fill his place as one Of
the representatives Of Wiltshire on
the central committee. Mr.. Butler
rose from his place on the platform
and announced to the conference,
amid much amusement, that, so far
as he was aware, he was still alive
and In good health, and would be
pleased to continue in the Office If the
conference desired.
