GOOSE-BONE PROPHET.

This year our goose has insisted up

numerous letters have been received
from different parts Of the country in
curing after our little prophet, but un-
til our goose got fat and offered up its

no chance for u consultation. A study
OF its meteorological cOlorinK indicates
that we IRE to have u severe winter.
There is some cold weather about the

the next week or two will be more
pleasant, with the prospect good for fair
Christmas weather; altogether Decem.

carrying cold weather and snow into
March. Those who take stock in the
goose bone will lay in their fuel and
keep plenty of warm clothing about

cleaning the same thoroughly. Lay
yOnr potatoes down, with the eyes up,
from six to eight inches apart, and
mus been killed, from four to six inches !;
and then cover with just enough dirt
TO hide the seed. When your potatoes
are up to a good stand, bar them OF
close, but not so as to interfere with
the seed; plow the dirt back to the
potatoes, hill we'll with hoe, and then
your crop is made. They will not need
any more work. 80 80. Es.af D.

they may have AN opportunity to make

THE CURE FOR GOSSIP.

What is the cure for gossip (? Sim
ply culture. There, is a great deal of
gossip that has no malignity in it.
Good people talk about their neighbors
because they have nothing else to talk
about. There comes to us the picture
OF a family of young ladies. We have
seen them ut home, we have met them
ut the galleries of art, we have caught
giimpses Of them going nom a book
store or a library with u fresh volume
in their hands. When we meet them
they are full OF what they have seen
and read. They are Drumming with
questions. One topic, of conversation
is dropped only to. give place to an.
other, in which they are interested.
we have left them, after n delightful
hour, stimulated aud refreshed and
during the whole hour not a ncivhor,s

about. They knew something. and

The clothing we wear is maunfactur-

The clothing manufactured from the |
hair OF animals, AS WOODEN ClDtfiinK, Is |
much the warnest clothing we have,
and hence the clothing We select for
winter wear. Why 1t Ia the warmest
clothing may not he clearly understood
by such as nave not studied the science
of common things careta4ty. Its super
iOr warmth is not because Of its greater
thickness, as many, doubtless, suppose,
but because it is n more perfect NOM
conductor Of heat than amy fabric that
could be composed Ut plant fibre. You
may make of each II garment of pre-
cisely the same. thickness, and wear
them in turn, and you will lind that
the WOODEN is doubty us warm as the
linen or cotton. And now for the why's
and Whert.fores: ,.,.ss,t .sei.t.ss..~ :
A WOODEN fabric, AS already stated, is
a bad conductor OF heat; hence u wool
en- garment retains the heat Of the body
Within, instead of suffering it to pass
out freely, and escape almost AZ rapidly
ns generated A cotton fabric, although
also IL very Imperfect conductor Ut heat,
is IL better conductor than the WOODEN
fabric, and, therefore, through q cotton
garment the natural heat Of the body
passes out more freely to the open air,
leaving US much colder than if we were
wearing WOODEN. 81
Color has much to do with the cloth
ing we wear-far more than IL supposed
in every case. A black or dark c0lOred
garment nbsorbs the heat from the sun,
becoming itself hot, and thus adding
heat to the wearer, whereas, a white
garment breaks the rays, and sends
them bounding away in what we cali
s'a reflection" You can demonstrate
this thing without any trouble. Take Il
short piece of board, saw it into two
pieces exactly alike, paint ono white
and the other black, aud expose them
side by side to the rays Ut the sun. In
II little while you will lind the black
board so hot that you can scarcely bear
your hand upon it, while the white
board will hardly be warm. This fact
is we'll worthy Of consideration, not
. only in the selection Of our clUthiDg,
but also the color Of our houses.
