Facts About Twins
From Tit-Bits.


 Take 300 average babies. There will be 10 pairs of twins among them.
 This remark applies to England and the United States. Tn Italy or Bra gil the proportion of twins would be much less For some reason that ho- body knows. infants in duplicate are not nearly so common in warm lati- tudes as in cold countries. Relatively to population, twins come into the world in Russia three times as often as in Spain.
 The tendency to produce more than one child at birth runs in families. It is handed down from mother to daughter. If the former has given birth to one or more sets of twins. the lat ter is rather likely to do the same thing.
 Triplets in the United States occur once in every 1910 births. Once in ev- cry 371,125 births the proud-or per haps indignant father--is informed that his family has been suddenly aug mented by four simultaneous off spring. There are in medical history authentic reports of 29 instances in which quintuplets have been born.
 Where mere pairs of babies are con cerned, they are of the same sex in two out of three cases. Identical twins" however, are always of the same sex whether boys or girls.
 Psychologists differ as to the reason why of identical twins. They are un- deniably different from ordinary ones, being in effect one person in duplicate, and sharing. as it were, a single iden- tity The same mental, moral and phys ical attributes are common to both. It is as If they were halves of one and the same individuaE

 The record of this lady beats by two and a half feet that of the Bristol lady who was supposed to possess the long est hair in this country. Instances of ladies' hair measuring feet to 51s feet have often been recorded. But 1t might be mentioned that tho longest hair in the world was that grown by MT. Rob-
