TWINS IN EGYPT.

that twins, if allowed tu be hungry, tu

ions, out ii you oeat them they will tel
their p;t re. its next day, "So-and-so beat ine
in his house last night." aud thrir bruises
Only twins do it; aud if von give them
sort of onion broth aud camera milk the
first thiag when tbey are born, they don't
do it at all. "0 the American mis

something like it aa belonging to the Copts,
but it is entirely EgyptiauT aud common to

assured me it was true, and told it just the
same. Is it a remnaut of the doctrine of
