Two Hundred Years Old.
Leading Russian journals are now proudly drawing attention to the fact that there has been for some time in the hospital at Tomsk a man who has lived for more than two hundred years Knowing well that the public would be loth to believe such a story unless ample evidence of its truth were forthcoming, they further point out that they have carefully examined his birth and marriage certificates, andean testify that his married life lasted fort3 rseven years, and that he has been a widower one hundred and twentyfive years. This wonderful old man has been bedridden for some time, but his brain is as clear as ever it was, and it is said that nothing pleases him more than to tell visitors how he once had the good fortune to see Peter the Great and Queen Catherine.
