FEET TAKE PLACE OF HANDS
English Woman, Eorn Withou@ Arms,
Has Taught Herself to Sew,
Cook and Write.

At Eastbourne, says an English
paper, resides a woman probably
without an equal in the country. She
was born minus arms yet she can do
almost anything with her feet. Her
name is Mrs. PIERCE of Tower street,
and recently she attended a dinner
given to the old people of the town
by the local lodge of Buffaloes.
She surprised everybody present
by placing her feet upon the table,
and picking up the knife and fork
with marvellous dexterity commenced
TO enjoy the feast. She manipulated
the knife and fork quite as well as
any ordinary person would with her
hands, and although she looked very
uncomfortable with her feet on the
table, she was quite at ease.
One had to look very closely to
discern that Mrs. PIERCE was actual
ly using her feet. and had any one
been looking round and had not
known of her infirmity, they would
