THE LONGEVITY HABIT.
When Badwell Ash Hall, a seat in West Suffolk, was offered at Bury St Edmunds, recently, the auctioneer said that when Miss Paune, a former owner, died at the hall she was 90 years old. Her brother who previously died there, was 91. The cook cooked no fewer than 59 Christmas dinners there. The housemaid was with them for 40 years, and the auctioneers believed, was still in the service of the present owner. Two horsemen who had worked on the farm all their lives were SO years old. And the horses were believed to be about half that age.
