H A S DISTINCTION ALL ITS OWN. The Tnllys Gtow' More Like Other Every (Day—`tltrto9 sfblo to Toll Them Apar Aro Left•Bfttrnded. Among its nonny other distinction, Edmonton is a blaze of reflected glory as of two sets of identio triplets the site of a single set of triplets rather uncommon, and to background Inc a single set o triplets is quite au honor, two sets of identic triplets in city is something hitherto nn end unparalleled, writes J O.ree in the , Tgronto Mail i Aire. It just goes to show th n •i 1 of les and u bi d od, nature s Canada. These triplets have been the subject of close examination by Al- bertan scientists and have attracted Interest from' other scientists in the United States and, Europe. But so tar nobody seems to know just what should be done about it. Until a deet tion is made in this matter, the chil- dren continue to .thrive and their par- ents never mention one'` of them with- out touching wood. The youngsters are modestly proud of the attention they receive from their schoolmates and their" elders, but speaking gen- erally, seem to be normal children, with average tastes and abilities. In fact, they are just the kind of boy who may grow UP to be an eminent citizen or.grow up and never be heard of again. It should be explained here,that science classifies twins and triplets into ordinary twins and triplets and identio twins and triplets. The former consist of children who merely hap- pen to be born at the same time and may have no greater mental or phys- ical likeness to each other than bro- thers;or sisters born at normal inter- vals. The identic twins or triplets are a. part of each other. They aro as nearly identical as it is possible for human beings to be, . They are even. supposed to have a psychic affinity unknown to others. They aro pro- duced, as it were, by a division of the same cell, and not by distinct cells. Science has observed many cur- ious things about identio' brothers and sisters, but what it has not been able to observe and what it is most anxious to learn is how these children would grow up if they were reared in different environments. That is to say, the scientists, if they could have their way, would take two of these triplets' away from their parents and establish them so that all would grow up in entirely different circumstances. From time to time they would examine and measure them. They would note dif- ferences and be able to determine they hope, to what extent the differ- ences was caused by environ- ment. It has frequently enough hap - Retied that identic twins, if not iden- tic triplets for identic triplets as we have remarked, already do not hap- pen frequently—have been reared it different homes and have turned out differently. But they have done sr away from the watchful eye of sci- ence which is still in doubt as tc what in human character is caused by environment and what by here- dity. In the case of twins we have identical heredity; and the natural assumption would bo that any differ- ences that occur must be due to a different environment. As Dr, Revell says in the Edmonton Journal: "It is only by studying the unusual that we are enabled to learn what should' bc, usual." The older of the two sets of trip- lets is composed of Albert, Edward and George Miller, who were born or. Jan. 8, 1920, at Stony Plain. As ba- bies they were so much alike that their mother had to tie different col• ored ribbons to 'them to distiuguisl them. Later on each boy was giver a gold bracelet with his name in- scribed so that they could not mia themselves up in a manner confusinc to their parents and wholly baifiin_ to outsiders. But as they grew apace the resemblance was not so marked tl and now it is possible to diatingu s among them. They are practically o' the same height and weight arta their growth has been uniform, Each of the three has a clockwise whore ci hair or cowlick behind the right ear No other member of the family has it The color of hair and eyes come spend. Their hands show the mirror• like resemblance noted: in identic twins- That is to say, the left hand of one twin is almost identical with the right hand of the other, the lei side of the face to the right side of the face, and so on. In the' Mille triplets, George's right hand resew bies that of Albert's, while, Albert" left hand is like Edward's. Thee tastes are similar and their scholcs tic strength and weakness aro fount: in the same subjects. The other triplets are the Tn1"ys James, Robert and William, horn nn Edmonton on Merrell 19, 1928, A' - birth they resembled each other closely, but it was easy enough fe their parents to tell them apart. A• they have grown older, however their resemblance has become mor. marked. Mrs. Tuliy says: "The. grow more like each other every clay In fact, it's almost impossible for me to tell them apart. 'Their voices art alike, their heights are the same, an( there doesn't seem to be any differ ence between them."

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is better than medicine. When you smile or laugh, your brain for a mo- ment is freed, from the load that It ordinarily carries. - Learn to tell a helpful story. A well -told story is as welcome as a sunbeam in a sick -room. Learn to keep your troubles to yourself; the world is too busy to linger over your ills and sorrows. Learn to stop croaking. If you cannot see any good in this world, keep the bad to yourself. Learn to greet your friends with a smile. They carry too many frowns in their own hearts to be bothered with any of yours. Wool.
