aOOso Bone Predictions--One Mode Of
FOrecasting the Weather.
The goose bone may be called "Kentucky's
weather prophet. In many farmhouses it
will be found hanging in the hall, and old
men who have had had it for years say the
genuine bones never fail. The real bone can
only be obtained from goose that was
hatched out in the spring; the month Of May
5 said to be tho best. The goose must not be
killed until Indian summer has passed AWAY
After cooking, rsmove the breast bone, scrape
it clean, and then wash it in warm water and
let it dry for day or two. When it has
been thus prepared, hold it up to the sun, or
IN front of a lamp in dark room is better,
and discolorations can be easily deciphered,
and, to one who knows the bone reading is as
plain as a book.
A bone shown toa reporter was taken from
Rgoose Matched out in May. A row Of dots
found along the keel Of the bone indicates
me temperature and the darker their dis
celebrations the more rain or snow there will
be The marks dividing the bone Indicate
the three winter months, December com
nencing at tho front A careful reading Of

weather will occur during the first half of
January and along between the seventh and
twelfth there will be severer days of freezing.
1t viii be the seyerest part Of the whole sea-
son. Near the point Of the bone discolora-
tion is a little heavy, thus showing that the
first days of winter will give proof of the
seasons change. This will be followed by
rising temperature and falling weather for
Christmas
January will be ushered in cold and the
cold will strengthen as the days lengthen, the
coldest days of winter falling falling about
the Sth of the month. This severe weather
will be brief, followed by rising temperature
and heavy thaws, and the last half of the
month will see many rains and SHOWS. Dur
ing February there will not be any very cold
weather, but it will be rather disagreeable
month, with snow and rain. A few cold
days is all that the month will contribute to
the winter. An early and decided thaw is
among the promises of the bone. The Feb
ruary thaw will overflow the mountain
streams and disastrous floods may be looked
for. Altogether the winter will be what is
known as an open season and a good wheat
year, Christian at Work.

Of the Blue mountains, and the rich farms in
the adjacent valley land are all plainly visi-
ble on clear day. Then the well planned
grounds, which are handsomely terraced with
flower plots and shaded walks, serve in con-
junction with the splendid prospect to make
this spot the most desirable for the site OF the
state capitol The buildings are Of the most
substantial, unpretentious style OF archi-
lecture, with great white columns supporting
the roofs of the porticoes over the main en-
frances.
In the northern wing of the principal build
ing is placed the state library. 1t occupies
position from which it has twice been re-
moved through fear Of destruction, once
when in its infancy, during the dark days of
the revolution, and again when Lees army
threatened to cross the mountain wall, and
deyastate the pretty little capitol city and its
environment of fair farm land, it was hastily
packed in cars and conveyed to Philadelphia

MAIN PASSENGER BUILDING, TOLEDO

The main depot recently opened at Toledo,
o., is built of Philadelphia pressed brick
with carved stone trimmings. The interior
walls are of glazed brick in variegated colors,
the floor of tile, and the ceiling and all the
wood work of oak gives the whole an appear
ance of richness and solidity. Separate build
ings for the accommodation of baggage and
the express hssineSs are Of the same style of
architecture as the main building, but sepa-
rated from it, "Umbrella' sheds aggre-
eating a mile in length will cover the plat
forms between the passenger tracks. Next
year it is intended to put up a restaurant
building which will complete the accommo-
dations for the travelling public and add to
the pleasure of visiting the city.

BIRTHPLACE OF PRESIDENT ARTHUR
The father of the late President Arthur
was Baptist clergyman, graduate of the
University of Belfast, near his native place,
In Ireland Fine scholar and able minister
that he was, this building of which we give
sketch is interesting as showing the sort Of
parsonages a clergyman was expected to put
up with in those days, The Rev. William
Arthurs liberal education, particularly in
the classics, was of great advantage in pre-
pairing his son Chester for college But this
event did not take place until they We're liv-
ingin better quarters in Union village, Wash
ington county, N. Y. Young Chester was
scarcely more than babe when his family
left the house he was born in.

should take advantage of this point and see

GEN. YFsILANTI.

AANSS'
Peloponnessus, was besieged by a large
body of Turks. Cen Ypsilanti, q famous
Greek chieftain, selected a picked body Of
Greek warriors, who made sortie from the
fortess, during the night, fell like thunder
bolt on the camp of the Turks, killing hun
dreds of them, and created such panic that
the Turkish pasha raised the siege of Naupla
on the next day, and that part of Greece was
liberated from the presence Of the Turks.
When the news of this glorious deed of arms
reached a new town in Michigan, it created
such an enthusiasm, that meeting of cii-
zens was called, and it unanimously decided
to call the town "Ypsilanti," in honor of the
great general.
This matter has just been recalled and
made public through the presentation to the
city of Ypsilanti of an engraving of the
general, after whom the city was named, by
D. NJ. Bottassi, consul general of Greece, in

A Tale of Pure Modern Mercenary
Love.
CHAPTER 1.

CHAPTER 1.
It was evening in the home of Earnestins
McGoozlam, and it was also evening in thu
homes of her neighbors for several miles
around.
Earnestine was waiting for the arrival Of
Col D'Aubignac, who, in the vocabulary Of
the race track, for he once owned a horse,
was aged" that is to say, gentle reader he
was past years old. Indeed, he was about
AZ years old and forty-seven weeks past it,
but of that more anon.
Finally he came
When the colonel came in he at once Lro-
ceeded TO Business
Dearest Earnie," he remarked, with pa
thetic sweetness, "am to have my answer
to-night-The answer that will make me
the happiest man in Pittsburg, Allegheny
county, Pa.a"
"You are to have your answer colonel"
she replied, disengaging her hand, "but
can't say how happy it will make you"
"Nor can any tongue express it," he said,
slapping his hand on his heart with the vehe-
ment emphasis of trip hammer dropping on
wad of red-hot iron "Tell it me-" he con-
tinued, "tell it mel"
"You talk like q three-dollar- week Romeo
on the variety stage, but I'll let you have it,"
she said. 1t is this: II cannot marry you.
You are not wealthy. Your pension is only
"a amonth. am not wealthy, and l have
no pension. am my mothers sole support,
and the $4,000 she has in real estate gives
us comfortable living without work. l
shall marry wealthy man, who is twenty
years younger than you are and ten years
older than am He has promised to give
my mother beautiful home and large in
come, and we shall be very, very happy"
The colonel sat as one dazed.
Then he got up and groped around for his
hat.
"Au revoir," he said as he went out.
"Why did he not say adieu," inquired the
girl of herself, without eliciting a satisfac-
tory answer.
Reader, can you guess why the colonel said

CHAPTER III.
You shall be told in the last chapter.
CHAPTER ".
For two long and happy years Earnestine
did not see anything Of Col D'Aubignac 1t
was summer, and her mother had gone to
Sewickley beach for the season. One day
letter came from Earnestine's mother. 1t
was brief and to the point. 1t said simply:
II was married to-day, and myself and hus-
band will be at home at once. Have my
house opened and aired.
CHAPTER v.
Earnestine was rather pleased, because she
had noticed that her mother was getting
lonesome, and she loved her mother so that
she could not bear the thought of her being
unhappy.
CHAPTER VI.
She waited for her mother at che train.
She came and with her her husband
