OLD FOLKS' BOAST.
RECORD OF GREAT AGES.
Yorkshire has a village where the old folk proudly boast that if their ages were totalled together they would stretch to the days when Adam was a lad! Carlton, is tho place where people live happy and long. It has only 600 inhabitants, but they include sixty oldage pensioners, whoso ages reach well over 3500 years! An inquirer found out recently why the villagers live so long. They all believe in " adding their own brass" as long as they can, and plenty of Yorkshire pudding and home-made oven cakes keep them healthy and wise if not too wealthy. " Early to bed, early to . rise," is their motto.
