WHISPERS

Whiskers are a fungus grow

to the soil of the lower part of
the masculane face. They are
not transplantable, much to the
sorrow of men with luxuriantly
covered jaws and barren scalps.
If whiskers could be transplant

would be deprived of tn cir

The variety of whiskers is
endless, there being a special
brand for every man who wants

familiar with the rarchai
brand that flows from the chin
in regular Niagara of abund-
ance and takes the place of
necktie, shirt bosom, napkin,
chest protector, waisr-coat and

typical English but also dis

Congratulations are extended to
The Brattleboro Daily Reformer on at
tanning its first birthday. Brattleboro
people who wondered if the paper
would survive q year have changed
their idea and the query is not, will
the paper live, but how could BrattIe-
boro people live without The Daily Re
former. The Reformer is well printed
and ably edited and in its short exist
ence has come TO be one of the lead
ing papers of the state. Progressive.
we are not speaking with a political
meaning, clear in the portrayal of le-
climate news, and energetic in bust
ness principles The Reformer does
credit to the town whose interests it
represents, and Brattleboro can be re-
lied upon to support any good enter
prise which is within her precints.

THE Nrw sIAMEsE TWINS.

IF an ounce daily. their weight a pres
ent being eleven pounds. Their phys
zeal. physiological and psychic duality
is beyond doubt One laughs while the
other cries Suzanne feeds while her
sister sleeps. and the will Of each is
independent of the other
'Madeleiue'S height is sixteen inches
while Suzanne'S is sixteen and two
thirds inches. and the latter's chest
measurement is also greater by two
thirds Of an inch. Suzanne is the
stronger, and the bones Of her limbs
are a little longer than Medicines
The hands and feet of Madeleine are
small. her face is round. while her sis
ter'S is oval, and her heart pulsates
100 times to the minute. against 40
per minute for Suzanne. The body
temperature OF the twins differs slight
~, and there is a difference in their
cries"
The father of the twins is thirty five
year old and is a perfectly normal man.
I The mother is forty four BY her first
marriage she had a son who is now
twenty-three years old and exhibits no
physical popularity. BY her second
marriage sire also had boy who died
at the age of seven from scarlet fever
Doctors have been unable to trace any
hereditary defects in the family.
/ While the doctors state that Suzanne
and Madeleine are separate individu-
ais, there must be many respects in
! which their sensations are confused or
shared. There is no fixed line upon
4 the band of flesh that unites them
where one individual ends and the
other begins. A pin prick at any spot
along this uniting band causes both
of the babies to cry, although a similar
stimulus on the opposite side from
the band would make only one baby
cry Apparently there Is connection
between the smaller nerves of the two
bodies in this locality
Taste, hunger, pain and most of the
simpler sensations are experienced sep.
arately by each individual. When one
baby is pleased by the taste of food
in its mouth the impression is convey
ed to its brain and causes that indi
vidual alone to coo or express pleas
ure. In cases, however, where an i'm
pulse is sent from one brain to tn,
nerves of one body the effect must be
felt to some extent in the other bod,
on account of the connection between
the two nervous systems.
Thus a piece of ice placed on tn
skin would be felt by one individual
alone, but the depression caused b,
grief. fear and other emotions. although
felt by one individual first, must b.
impaired in some degree TO the other
, These psychological interactions viii
it is expected, become very marked il
later years If the twins are not sep
arated.
