Mrs. Jacob OSTERLING, a German woman residing at Roseland, a Chicago suburb, has become a mother for the eighteenth time during a married life of fourteen years. Mrs. OSTERLING is but thirty-three years of age, and of robust constitution. Her husband is a mechanic, a sturdy man of thirty-five. Mrs. OSTERLING first became a mother ten months after marriage. Then followed twins and triplets at appropriate intervals. She is the mother of five sets of twins and one of triplets, and of the eighteen children, fourteen are yet alive. The four who are dead were not the victims of constitutional weaknesses, but went down before the ills that trouble little ones.
