THE GOOSE BONE.
What New England Bone Tells of the
Coming Winter.

A New Haven special to the ST.
Louis Globe-Democrat, says:
Henry Stillman of Woodstock,
Windhaln county's weather proph-
ct, has made his annual forecast OF
winter by goose bone. He says
the bone shows clearly that we
will have an open winter. The
goose bone is accepted by many
Wlndham county people as better
authority than Virgins or Devol
or even old David A. Daboll, the
Connecticut almanac maker. In
many farm-houses it may be found
hanging in the hall, where it is fire.

phetiG bone, it is said, can only be
obtained from goose that has a
trace of wild blood and that was
Matched out in the spring A bone
taken from goose Matched in
May by Mr.. Still shows d row of
dots around the keel OF it indi-
eating the probable temperature.
The darker the spots are the cold
er the weather is sure to be. /: is
asserted that the marks dividing
the bone indicate the three winter
months, December beginning at
the front. Mr.. Stillman says he
has read the bone closely and finds
that it indicates more regular
weatoer than last year, and not so
severe as even the last mild winter.
There will not be many days during
which running water will freeze.
The coolest weather will occur dur
ing the later half of January, and
during that time there will b, sew
eral days of freezing. Near the
point OF the bone is d marked dis
celebration, showing that the first
day of winter will give proof OF the
seasons change. Christmas will
be "green," but wet and cold.
January's entrance will be marked
with warm days, grosing gradual
ly colder. The coolest day eff win
ter will be January 9th. The
brief spell OF severe weather will
be succeeded by heavy thaws, and
the traditional January thaw will
come in February. This month
will be disagreeable one, with
heavy SHOWS and rains. An ear
ly and decided thaw is among the
promises of the bone. February
will burst into March with swollen
mountain fstreams and disasters
may be looked for. There will be
