Two Very Old ladiSs.

We have heard 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 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.

Before DAYS of Free Press.

Many of the restrictions that hamp-
cred the influence of the press re-
manned in force until the close Of the
eighteenth century in England. 1t was
not till that period that newspapers
obtained the right to criticise the pol
icy of ministers and of the king, Mr..
Walter, the first editor of the London
Times, was prosecuted for censuring
the duke of York. He was sentenced
to pay fine of $3.50, stand in the
pillory for an hour, be imprisoned for
a year and give security for his good
behavior for seven years. The order
with regard to the pillory was can
celed, but he had to serve his term in
Jail.

English Women Smoke Pipes.

The latest fancy of the woman
smoker is pipe-not the tiny affair
that sufiices for the Japanese, but a
good-sized brier or a neat meer-
schaum. The pipe is boldly carried
along with a gold card case and chain
purse. For some time now the Gig
arctic has given place to a cigar
small in size and mild in quality.
Women said they were tired OF the
cigarette. and wanted bigger smoke,
