Show Two Very Old Ladles. We have heard a great deal lately about long-lived people, but it is probable prob-able that the oldest two people in the world today are Frau Dutkievitz and another old lady named Babavasllka. The former lives at Posem, in Prussian Prus-sian Poland, and was born on February Febru-ary 21, 1785. She is therefore one hundred and twenty-five years old. The latter, however. Is nine months her senior, having ben born In May, 1784. 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 quitted 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. |
