WELL PROVIDED WITH LIMBS,
a Bright and Healthy Negro Baby with
-Four Legs aud Four Arms.

lINlduelpulu OlspbU9u.l
A female negro, thirteen months old,
which has four arms and four legs, is now
in the care Of Harry Farmer, Of No sci
Walnut street, and is attracting much at
tention. The child moves its natural arms
and legs as well as any child Of its age,
crawling about the floor orandusin It's hands
without constraint.
The extra arms grow out from near the
umbiIicus, and are apparently attached to
gristly process which seems to be a con-
tinuation of the floating ribs of the oppo.
Site side. They have not developed at all,
and have tbs same appearance as the arms
of "a newborn infant. They seem devoid
Of mus cular power, but are provided with
circulating apparatus which keeps them as
well nourished as any other portion Of the
child's anatomy. The unnatural legs are
apparently articulated to prolongation
of the anterior portion of the pelyis. They
have grown somewhat since birth, but the
joints are rigid at the hips, knees and
ankles, although there is some capacity
for voluntary movement in the toes. 1t is
an intelligent little thing, regarding its
numerous visitors with open-eyed wonder,
and seldom crying even when under phys
ical examination.
The mother Of the child, who Is from
Charleston, s. g., says that she has torne
five children, the last alone being in any
way peculiar. She says the infaut has
haan healthy from its birth.

Two burned Fools with Single Thought.
[Troy (N. J.l Times.J

An old man Of fifty-eight and a rather
lively looking widow of twenty eight were
waiting for Justice Mills when he returned
to his Trenton, N. j., court from dinner
WedneS lay.
"Will you marry two burned fools"
said the old man, smoothing the single lock
of iron-gray hair that was trained up over
his otherwise bald head.
The Justice seated himself, looked at the
couple thoughtfully for a moment and
then remarked; "Trot out your foolsn
"Here we are, Squire, and tie us as quick
and as cheap as you cam" the old man
said, as he stood up with the willing bride.
After a few preliminary questions the
Justice ascertained that the desire for mar
riage was mutual with the couple, and in a
very few minutes he had them securely
tied. The old man put plain ring on the
woman's finger, and, after paying the
necessary fee, started away, remarling TO
her as she leaned ON his arm: II know

All good Christians, as you pass byl

The good old man has thus had the re-

as sudden misfortune, but as compan.

every moment for the past five years.

years Because She Was Not Chris
tian.
[Coalton Pa.l Special.1
Uriah Wales had been q member Of the
Free Christian Church of this place for
nearly thirty years, and was a class leader
and exhorter. His wife was not COM
municant, and frequently ridiculed her
husbands enthusiasm in his religion. Ten
years ago he told her that he would not
speak to her again until she saw her error
and experienced religion. He kept his
word, and the couple never exchanged a
word until last week. All communication
between them was conducted through q
son. Early in the present month revival
of religion began in the church. Mrs.
Wales was converted last week. Her hus-
band on Thursday evening arose in church
and said that he had been widower for
ten years, but that "now he thanked God
he had wife," Mrs. Wales created sem
sation by rising in her seat and saying
that she did not believe man who was
truly religious could deliberately ignore
his wife for ten years, and asked that
special prayers be offered for the conver-
sion of her husband. She then turned to
him and said:
'Uriah, get on your knees, ask forgive.
ness for your sins, and be awakened to the
error Of your ways. will lead you TO the
Lord myself"
She walked toward the seat where he
was sitting. He arose hurriedly and went
out Of the church. Since then he has moi
been seen, and no trace Of him can BE-
found, ~

STRANGE PHENOMENON.

west of Syracuse, N. Y, is very i'll of pneu.
monia. A few nights ago two of the
daughters retired, leaving their shoes in
the sitting.room. They were aroused by a
noise as though something had been thrown
into the bedroom, and on investigation
their shoes were found to have been thrown
from the sitting-room by the side of the
bed. The next night stone weighing
about half pound fell with crash by the
side of their fathers bed, at which they
were so alarmed they sat up the remainder
of the night. This did not prevent the
falling of other stones, apparently from
the ceiling Of the room in which the family
sat, although there was no hole in the cell
ing or windows, and the doors were all
closed. Seven stones fell that night and
the succeeding day, varying in size from a
! quarter ofa pound to pound.
The family were 50 alarmed that they
finally called in a neishbor and he staid fol-
a number Of hours. No stone fell while he
was there, bat as he passed out Of the door
a large one struck the floor al his heels
with crash. During the next night and
day seven more stones fell Another
neighbor who was in the house happened
to say: "I wish one Of those stones would
fall now" when Immediately one fell be-
tween his legs whore he was sitting. He
got up and left the room, and, soon return
ing, looked up at the ceiling, saying: 81
wish another stone would fall" !" and large
one just grazod his head and struck at his
feet, A number Of Jordan people have
visited tho house in the attempt to solve
the mystery, but so far they have not beer
successful.

the cause Of the strange phenomena
Sometimes two or three will be together il
