The Goosebons and the Weather.

The Louisville Commercial says: "The
goose bone predictions are perhaps more
closely watched in Kentucky than anywhere
else, and it may be called the Kentucky
weather prophet. We must take the breast-
bone of a last Springs goose-none other
will do, for tho prophecy does not extend
beyond the year in which the goose is
Matched. 1t must be divided into three diff
ferent parts, which represents the three
divisions of Winter. The breastbone of a
goose is translucent, but at places has
cloud-like blots upon 1t. These blots denote
cold weather. Looking at the bone before
us. we find a little cold weather about the
first of December, which we have realized,
and there is another blot beyond the centre
of the bone, denoting cold weather about
the middle of January this cloud we are
passing now and so far our little prognos-
ticator has guided us right. We are to
nave warmer weather after a few days, but
the worst is to come. The darkest blots are
near the endof the bone. and if the prophe-
cy fails not. Winter will verify the saying
of coming in like a lamb and going out like
n roaring lion. Our coolest weather will
come after the middle Of February, and our
warmest fires will be required for the part
ing days of winter and the first days of
Spring. This is the goosebone prophecy.
and as we have the word of a good old farm
er that it has not failed for fifty years, we
would advise the layingin Of q good supply
of coal and general preparations to meet
cold weather-for the goosebone has said 1t.
and old Winter will be after young Spring
with a great big icicle.
