People Around Pittsferry Taking Ad- vantage of Good Sleighing. Pittsterry, Nov. 18.--Many of the farmers took advantage of the snow and are drawing in their winter's wood. The concert given in St. Law- rence church by the girls of the Gold- en Rule class and other friends, was a decided success. The two plays. "That Rascal Pat," and "Twelve Old Maids," caused much laughter with quaint old costumes. The proceeds amounted to about $30. The Orange- men met at Dufferin lodge on Mon- day evening for their monthly meet- ing but very few members were pre- sent.

Mrs. Bowskill, the Yorkshire lady who has just celebrated her ninety- fourth birthday by nursing her se- cond great-great-grandchild, has §0od cause to be proud of such a record; but she has had many rivals and even a few superiors as an "ancestress." Only a short time ago & Mr. and Mrs. Betteridge were cele- brating the birth of a great-great- granddaughter who represented the fth generation of a well-known Reading family, But both these records were thrown into eclipse by Mrs. Mary Cooper, of King's Bromley, who lived to nurse her great-greai-great-grand- daughter, the last of six generations all living at the same time. There is even on record a case in which seven generations were living at the same time. The links in this amazing chain were a Mrs, Godfrey; her daughter, Lady Waldegrave; the latter's son, an ambassador; his daughter, Lady Harriet Beard; her daughter, Lady Powis; her daugh- ter, Lady Clive; and Lady Clive's infant son. And that the limit of Possibility has not been reached is proved by the fact that a Lady Child, of Shropshire, was a grand- mother at twenty-seven. A few years ago an Antwerp wo- man gave birth to two sets of trip- lets within a year. In seven consecu- tives years the wife of a baker added twenty-one to the population of Paris ----at the rate of three at one birth every year; while it was recently re- ported that a Mrs. Ormsby, Chicago, after seven years of married life, had nineteen children---including one set of quadruplets, another of triplets, and two pairs of twins, Mrs. Mary Jones, of Chester, Eng- land, who died not long ago, was the mother of thirty-three children, and Mr. Anthony Clark, a book canvas ser, pleaded guilty at the Clerken- well County Court to having a family of thirty-two. + Again, these records are outdone by that of Levi Braskaw, a Cana- dian farmer, of whom it was said recently that, while still in the early sixties, he had forty living children, and twenty-nine married sons and daughters. Dr. Thomas Greenhill could boast that he was the seventh son and thirty-seventh child of one father and mother. But what shall we say of the Secot- tish weaver and his wife, of whom we read that 'they were the parents of sixty-two children, of whom no fewer than forty-six grew to man's and woman's estate"? Mrs. Honeywood, of Charing, in Kent, England, lived to see the fifth generation of her progeny; and could boast before she died that she had been mother to sixteen children; had counted her grandchildren to 114; her great-grandchildren to 228; and her great-great-children to ninety-- thus having added more Britons to the Empire than there are days in a year. Lady Temple, of Stow, survived to nurse her seven hundredth descen- dant; while Mrs. Ursula Lightfoot, of Ayton, in Yorkshire, died at the age of 93, leaving 163 descendants, in- cluding two great-great-grandchil- dren. Mrs. Sarah Woolf, of Utah, left 303 living descendants; and Mrs. Shover, of Georgia, 310. tt r------ Britain Is Healthy: There is a steady improvement in the public health in Britain. That is the "general summing up or the re- port published of Sir George New- man, the chief medical officer of the Ministry of Health, for last year. The birth rate Jumped from 18.5 in 1919 to 25.4 in 1920; the death rate showed a steady decline at most ages, and infant mortality (80 per 1,000 births) is the lowest ever re- corded, though there is still much unnecessary loss of life, both of mothers and infants.
