TWO Vary Old Laden.

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 Dutkievitz 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. 10 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 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.

United States paper currency and the
disappearance Of counterfeits. 1--WE

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 $40 yellowback from his
pocket, and. holding 1t up, asked who
could tell whose portrait 1t bore. No
one knew, and by way Of coaching
the broker said 1t was the first treas
urer of the United States. Again no
one knew the name. why, It's

proudly. But in confidence. I'll tell

of the IL covers. were used on an oval
mahogany table. The doilies were
made at Sitka. In the middle of the
table a mirror held tall central vase

mirror was banked with the same
flowers. Four totem poles were placed
on doilies in the angles made by the
runners.

An Unnecessary Confession.

A hearty laugh was occasioned At

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
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 list of his
previous convictions.
He stood passive enough while the
