Sevan Queer Children. ,
People of Munson, Pa,, claim to have
among them the queerest family as to
physical peculiarity in tlio whole coun

circumstances, has seven children. Tlie
oldest is 10, a bright boy, but having 18
Angers and 18 toes seven on one hand
and six on the other, his toes being slm
ilary divided. Next to him is another
boy, 14 years old. As long as this boy
is quiet no one would suppose he hnd
any peculiarity, but tlie moment he
opens lib mouth to talk he loses all con
trol ot his hands, arms, feet, and legs,
and they jerk aud thrash and kick
around as it thsy were bung on wires.
Tba boy Is as slow of speech as his
limbs are active, aud in answering a
simple queation it is no uncommon
thing for his legs to have carried him a
rod or more away before . lw Is able to
articulate yes or no. The boy does uot
seem to mind hi affliction, and not only
does not hesitate to respond or try to

ready to begin a conversation on the
