PACE THAT KEEPS HIM YOUNG. (LONDON, October 26. A resident of London, Charles Muyliew, who is ninety-two years of age, recently told the representative of a leading journal that he-claimed to be: one of the oldest living triplets in the world. The other two of the trio live

in Australia where they went in the gold-nfish days, .and three times'®, year they write to their brother in London and he replies. , The stay-at-home,, when interviewed, had just completed a walk of eighteen miles, and he was quite willing to talk of the days when he sang in St. Paul’s Cathedral at the Duke of Wellington’is funeral and later when he had 'Charles Dickers as one of his customers for. hand- sewn boots. He gave as a .reason for his hale old age that he ha.d never shaken trouble by the hand, and unlike most old people he does not live in a roseate past.

His most, emphatic explanation of 4iiis longevity he left to the last, 'concluding the interview with the ungallant statement: “I never married, either. Its peiaco that keeps you young.”
