Wood Production In

Of their end, and saw mills that have
been moved from the white pine belt
OF the north to the yellow pine belt

LARGEST FAMILIES.
Woman Ia "a Years Contributes
20 TO Population, One Man .
Father of 81 Children.

In these days of declining families,
says a writer in Tit-Bits, 1t is quite
reassuring to read in the columns
Ot a newspaper OF one lady who in
Fourteen years had contributed 20 TO
the population and OF another who
boasts as many descendants as there
IRE days In leap year.
But one need not search longer
among family records without discov-
esing many that are still more re-
markable. II is only a few months
since We read OF woman at Ant
werp who actually gave birth TO six
sons last year-three making THEIR
entrance together into the world in
January and three others following
in December. Perhaps more inter-
esting still was the achievement of
a bakers wife In Paris, who added q
members to her family In seven births
In as many years. ~.
There have, however, been many
parents Nwho would have considered
q quite small family, There was,
Tor instance, that Scotland weaver
of whom the Harlelan MSS. tells us,
who had no fewer than sixty-two
children by one wife, all Of whom wer
BORN alive, and of whom forty-six
sons and four daughters, half a
nundred In ALL lived to be q and
upward. Thomas Greenhill the Duke
II Norfolk's surgeon was the thirty
ninth child of one father and moth
,r; there was a French lawyer, ac-
,ordlng to Boyle, who had forty-five
olive branches; and Mrs, Agnes Mel
bourne, who died in 174S at the age
If 1O6, left thirty children to wear
mourning for her.
In very recent years, too, Mrs.
Mary Jonas, OF Chester, was the moth
" of 80 children; an old man who ap-
lied to the oulton Guardians for
relief had 30 children TO call him
father; and one Anthony Clarke
lutte shocked his honor Judge Edge
At the Clerkenwell County Court by
pleading guilty to 80 sons and daugh-
Cers. w.. ....
When Mrs. Honeywood, Of Charing,
in Kent, died In 1920, 1t was said that
ner descendants comprised l6 chill
dren, ia grand children, 2SS great
grandchildren, and nine great-great-
grandchildren, making the creditable
total Of S67 persons who owed their
existence to her. But much more
wonderful old lady was Lady Temple,
OF STOW, who actually lived to pat
aer seven hundredth descendant on
The head.
Even this does not constitute a
record, for the annual register of
l776 we read Not many years ago
there died, in the neighborhood of
5estiniog, in Merlonethshire, Wales,
an honest Welsh farmer who was 1O5
years of age. By his first wife he
mad thirty children; by his second1O;
~ his third four. His youngest son
was eighty-one years younger than
the oldest son, and eight hundred
persons descended from his body att
ended his funeral"
II we come down to recent times
we also find records which are cal
mlated to make one marvel Only
| few years ago, for example, there
was buried in Hutton Bushel church
yard, near Scarborough, Mrs, Ursula
Lightfoot. a farmers widow, who lef
row fewer than 1853 descendants :
mourn her loss. These included si'
