Married a Hundred Years.
Jan fe'zathmani and his wife Marie have celebrated the one-hundredth anniversary of their wedding-day in the village of Isoubolgi. They are respectively 120 and 116 years of age, and they have 712 living descendants. The aged pair are almost blind, but retain their other faculties. It is oue of their boasts that they have never left the village where they were born. The Emperor Francis Joseph sent them a telegram of congratulation on thein wedding-day, and asked to be supplied with details of their life.
