MANY TWINS
Six sets of twins attend a village school in England. They are Vincent and Sydney Bottomley, aged 10: Harold and Waltei Lolley, aged 7; Eichaid and Frank Holmes, aged 7; Jack and Eileen Sheiburn, aged 6; Barbara and •fllmiel \\iikei, aged 0; ana Tony and Kichard Peam, aged 5 The Lolley turns me so alike that it is almost impossible to distinguish one fiom the othei. Tho Peams are also bafflingly alike (says the "Daily Mail"). "We ha\e solved the difficulty of distinguishing them,"1 the headmaster, Mi. J, Cooke, tola me, "by givirig them different jjlaces in the Uass rooms. All dif±ei m capability. The only sort of association wo find between them is that | one will otten stait to cry if the other has got into trouble. Sometimes, too, the boy twins will quarrel and fight just as they -would with other boys, and this has lea to the identification of one pair. One has a mark on his toreheaa inflicted by the other during a difference of opinion "
