THE BROWN TWINS AT FIFTY-NINE YEARS AND THE HARLOW TWINS 



AT TEN MONTHS 



For fifty-nine years the brothers (top), whose hair is now snow white, have been taken 

 for one another. Edwin is a Congregational minister and has lived in various places, 

 and Edgar a bookkeeper who has stayed in Maine. Both were born with defec- 

 tive eyesight, one in the right, and the other in the left eye. Both afe right-handed; 

 for years with similar gait, with tastes remarkably similar, with similar bodily weak- 

 nesses, one requiring surgical aid, both with idiosyncrasy against strawberries and 

 acid foods, both with a good sense of locality and direction, and both peculiarly con- 

 genial towards each other. Their handwriting is not strikingly similar. Edgar L., 

 3 Holyoke St., Br§!wer, Me. (right); Edwin C, Island Falls, Me. (left). 



The chances are very great that, like the Brown twins, the Harlows (bottom 

 picture) will remain alike through life. (Fig. 30.)
