In this age of records it is not surprising, that the claim to be the oldest living person is being made by many. Neax 1 Cairo, Egypt, a few weeks ago, the police, discovered living alone in a .six-foot shack, an Arab who claimed to. be 153 years old. In the village of Latt.i, in the Caucasian mountains, last month, Henri Ba,rbusse, French author, discovered a peasant named Sjicipkofski, who had an insurance card showing that he is. 116 years old. He has a daughter 120 years old. When nxilions multiply in pounds from pence. Good Foituiie needs the balance of goold sense ; Vulgarity delig'r.ts. in wild display, Until the loss of vigor brings display. An upstart wastrel curst, not blest with wealth, In frantic follies stultifies, his health, For coughs and colds the; poorest ease nssuret Witii Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure.
