Mr.. j. B. Gibbs, President of the Man.

New York Times, of the 29th, gave an ac-
count yesterday of his interview, on tenn

took place few days ago.

The Goose Bone.
Yez0 orleans Pie0yune


There is something about the ''goose
BONE" as a winter weather-pTophet, that
is a little curious, and it may be entitled
to a passing notice.
The believers in the gOOse-bOne prophet
are most of them men Of sense, and some
of them men of education. DIR. Walter
Brashear, of st. Mary parish, Louisiana,
a stern and solid old Kentuckian, believed
in the goose bone forty or fifty years before
he died. | can mention intelligent sugar
planters who say the gOOse-bOne prophet
has never deceived them. DR.. Brashear
had thirty goose bones, representing
thirty winters previous to his death, and
he had the records of those winters, each
record made after the ''gOose bOne'' had
indicated the weather. He often invited
dOubters to examine his records and his
prophets, and then decide whether they
were false prophets or true.
The goose bone includes the whole of
the bone of the lower bone of the goose
the thin, broad cupping bone, with a re-
versed centre board underneath, extend
ing nearly the whole length of the princi-
pal bone. / am not well enough acquaint-
ed with this prophet to explain his pro-
phecies, but think that when holding ii up
to the light the wide part of the centre
board of gOOsey's craft represents au-
tumn, and the rest, winter and spring.
Light, thin spots indicate warm weather,
and thicker and darker spots indicate
cold weather. l think those who under
stand this prophets language much bet
ter than l do cOnstrue the Utterances of
the goose bone this season to be warm
weather, with few cool touches up to the
LIST of January. or cold and cool weather
until March, and a backward spring.
have never examined but one of these
weather prophets, and that was explained
by one who was not familiar with its Ian
guage; so [ am unable to throw much
light upon the matter. / will only say
that those who simply say, ''pOOhl pooh -
and ''humbug," may as we'll remember
that a number of intelligent sugar plant
ers kill a young goose every October, no.
tice accurately what the prophet says
about the coming winter and spring, and
believe the statement to be truthful. 1t
would puzzle Darwin and all the other
scientists of all ages to explain the con-
nectiOn between the bone of goose and
the weather of winter, but there are sensi-
bic, educated and scientific men who
firmly believe in gOOse-bone prophecy.

a Little of the Juice, Please.

1t was at Mrs. Simpson Hendricks
table, and Dumley was evidently mad
about something.
ssThere they are,' he whispered to
young Brown, s'the same old canned
peachers that we have had every night
for six months"
Presently the landlady asked:
"Will you have some OF the peaches,
Mr.. Dumley?"
NO." he replied, as shortly as he
deared, being two weeks in arrears; 81
never eat peaches except in the natural
state.''
''But these are branded peaches" said
Mrs. Hendricks; ''some that have just
put down.
Dumley saw his mistake and faItered:
NO" he finally decided, 81 won't take
any peaches, but you might give me a
little of the Juice"

Opinion of DR.. Mott, Late Government
Chemist, on AIIcOck's Porous Plaster.
Ny investigation of AlleOck's Porous
Plaster shows it to contain Udtudbte and
essential ingredients not present IN any
other Plaster. These ingredients are so
perfectly proportioned that the AllcOck's
Porous Plaster will not cause Busters or
ErcessiUe Irritation, and l find it superior
to and more efficient than any other Plas-
ter.
HENRY A. MORT, JR., Ph.D., F.C.S.,
Prof, of Chemistry n. Y. Med. Col, etc.
DO not lsdSse your money buying inferior
articles. Tell your druggist you want
Allcock's Porous Plasters, and do not
take others made to sell on the reputation
Of the genuine article.
