Mr John Jonas, a furniture broker, who has just died at Chester, , has certainly done his duty to pos- j terity as he has had 85 children, and only 1 wife. Mrs Jonas aetonished her J dufnnct spouse no less than 15 times \ with twins. There is no denying it, twins are a surprise, and no man ex- j pects them, and in certain tribes in Central Africa the husband promptly smothers his wife it she presents him with twins, to prevent any repetition of the joke. But the lines had fallen tn Mrs Jonas in pleasanter places. She was allowed to pursure her faithful career until she bad compiled a family record of 35, including the 15 twins. What a treat such a wife would be to a Somerset labourer with 12s a week.
