This saying is attributed to Robert
Walpolc, the grand corruptcr, as he was
called by his enemies. There is reason
to believe, however, that what Walpole
really said did not have so general an
application, but that in referring to GER
tain men he said, "All those men have
their price, and not "Evcry man hashis
price" The saying is so recorded by
Richardson, the painter, who had ample
means of being we'll informed. DR.. King
records a remark made during a debate
in parliament by Walpole to Mr.. Leve-
son, brother of the Jacobite Lord Cover.
"You sce," said Sir Robert, with what
zeal and vehemence those gentle," n OPP
pose; and yet l know the price OF every
man in this house except three, and
your brother is ono of them" Walpole's
son, speaking of his father, said: "Sir
Robert Walpole used to say that 1t was
fortunate so few men could be prime
ministers, as it was best that few should
thoroughly know the shocking wicked
ness Of mankind. Inever heard him say
that all men had their prices; and l be-
lieve no such expression we came from
his mouth. "-Lippincott's Magazine.

Up Among the Clouds.

The sensation a man experiences when
making an ascent in a balloon is very
peculiar. The earth appears to be fall
ing away, especially from just where the
ascent was made. A few days ago l
made an ascent from st. Charles and
was soon able to sec st. Louis and a score
of other smaller cities. The smoke from
the manufactures looked very odd, but
the principal buildings in st. Louis
were remarkably distinct even when 1
had gone up 1000 feet and over. Of
course at that altitude it is impossible to
detect movements on the earth's surface
with the naked eye, but with the aid of
a telescope this can be donc. The fastest
train seems to be going at a snail's pace,
and Il running horse seems to mako very
poor progress. Rivers look like little
streaks of silver when the balloon is very
high up. The steady fall in temperature
is not unpleasant, and there is no feeling
of giddiness after q little practice

Fingcr Before Forks.

Tho Duchess of Beaufort, dining once
at Nine. de Guisc's with King Henri
~ of France, extended one hand to re-
ccivc his majesty's salutation while she
dipped the fingers of the other hand into
a dish to pick out what was to her taste.
This incident happened in the year 1898.
1t demonstrates that less than three hun
drc'l years ago the fingers were still used
to perform the Office 10Y assigned to
forks, in the highest and most refined
circlcsof society. AT about this time, in
fact, was the turning point when forks
began to be used at the table as they are
now. When we reflect how nice were
the ideas of that refined age Oh all mat
tcrs of outer dccency and behavior, and
how strict was the etiquette of the courts,
we may well wonder that the fork was
SO late in coming into use rs a table fur
nishing. The ladies of the middle ages
and the Renaissance were not less proud
of Il delicate, we'll kept hand than those
of our own days, and yet they picked
the meat from the platter with their
slender white fingers. and in them bore
it to their mouths. The fact is all tho
more remarkable, because the form of
the fork was familiar enough, and its APP
plication to other uses was not uncom-

Tho Ancient Ale faster.

The modern wine faster and tea faster
are well known institutions, but in old
times there was an Office of ale faster, to
the holder of which fees We're paid in
kind. 1t is noted in DR.. Langbaine's
collections" under Jan. 23, 1911, that
John Shurle had a patent from Arthur
Lake, bishop of Bath and Wells, and vice
chancellor of Oxford, for the Office of
ale faster to tho university, and the maxi
ing and assizing of bottles of hay. The
office of ale tasting requires that he go
to every ale brewer that day they brew,
according to their courses, and taste their
ale; for which his ancient fee is one gal
Ion of strong ale and two gallons of small
wort, worth a penny. Lippincott's

WHAT THE GOOSE BONE SAYS.
It Will Be an Open Winter, If There's An,
Truth in the Bones Story.

Henry Stillman, of Woodstock, is the
goose bone prophet of eastern Connecti-
cut. He gets his bone from q goose that
is Matched in May, and when Henry
Stillman is bending over his goose bone
to read the future each fall all Windham
county is hushed, and it hearkcns to the
prophecy. Virgins and De Voc, and
even Uncle Daboll, of Groton, who has
been getting out '~'almanacks'' yearly for
the past 1T years, may do very well
fumbling with tho weather during the
rest of the year, but when the first fall
wind comes piping over the hills, and
the "frost is on the punkin," Then Henry
Stillman sits down with the goose bone,
and something happens that is "tolcrabl'
sartin."
Mr.. Stillman consulted tho bone last
week, and his prediction has been pub
lished orally all over the eastern end of
the state. Prediction is a weak, narrow
word to apply to the proclamation, for
Mr.. Stillman doesn't predict; he deter
mines. it is goingto be an open winter,
he says, and ''that settles it," says Wind
ham county.
The Dickinson press., 1889-11-30

The magic bone, hanging by the side
OF MIR. Stillman's kitchen chimney, and
by which he ciphers out the season,
shows a row of dots around it's shank,
and those dots announce what the tenn
p%erature is going to be. The darker the
spots tho colder the weather is the read
ing of the bone. Then there are circular
marks which divide the bone into the
three winter months, December occupy
ing tho space between the first partitions,
January the ncxt apartment and Fcbru-
airy tho remaining one. Mild, regular
weather will prevail in all the months,
and it will be mildcr than even that of
last winter. There will be few days on
which running water will freeze. The
coolest weather will be in the latter half
of January, when these will be some
frosts of considerable severity.
"Ncar the point of the bonc," says the
seer, "is a marked discoloration, indi-
eating that the first day of winter will
give decided intimation of the seasons
change" Christmas will bca green one,
but it will be wet and cold. January
will step in warm and sunny, but soon
it will turn cold, though not very cold.
The coolest day will DO Jan. 81. There
is going to be a "reg'lcr old time JIM
wary thaw," and February will have a
"thawy SPELL" too. October will be a
cold, di%sagrceable month, With heavy
rains and SHOWS. There will be an carly
spring, but February will melt into
March in a disastrous thaw, in which the
features will be swollen mountain
streams and terrible floods.
Faith in the goose bone is invinciblc
in this part of tho state, and each year
many farmers arc o to take one from
the May goose, and it is dried and hung
in the front hall or against the chimney

N;iturul Gas.

Natural gas as Il fuel has been in use
about fifteen years. There arc now en-
ploycd in its Transmission for fuel pur-
poses 1880 miles of pipe mains. In
Pittsburg alone there are 500 miles, and
the consumption of gas there represents
an annual consumption of 1000, 900 tons
of coal. The head of a Pittsburg gas and
oil firm said recently, during Il discus
sion of this question: eastern people
are still afraid that natural gas will play
out, So far there is no indication of it,
though when we first commenced to use
it in Pittsburg four OF five years ago
that is, using it generally-thero were
many people who did not look for it to
last more than six months or q year.
Now that it has been in general use for
several years and the supply keeps right
up, there is not much apprehension at
home, but | meet it everywhere outside.
The science of natural gas is not fully
understood yet, and no can tell how
long it will last. "-EXchanoc.

Would Not supp,v Geese.

The momentous fact now bursts upon
the world that in the fourteenth year of
the reign of Ptolemy Philadelphus, one
of the royal gooseherds wrote a letter
stating that he could not supply twelve
geese wanted for the kings festival. OF
this simple fact the world has been in
Ignorance for over 1000 years; yet we
arc o assured of it on as irrcfragable
historical evidence us that which tells us
that the Pharaoh of Joscph's time i'm
prisoned his chief butler and CHIEF baker
for probably as small an offensc. 1t
comes about in this way: The state pa
per concerning the royal geese was duly
%pigconholed, and, after the lapse of
years perhaps, was disposed of as waste
papyrus. 1t fell into the hands of the
undertakers, who used it along with a
lot of similar material in making the
cartonnagc headcase for n mummy.
This mummy was entombcd in the ne
cropolis of a little town (the site is called
Tell Gurob at this day. which began to
fall into decay about the time of Menep-
thah, the supposed Pharaoh Of the Exc
dus. 1t has been disinterrM by Mr..
Pctrie in the course of his excavations
in h Fayoum. The headcasc, with a
thin covering of plaster over all, was
soaked i'll water, and the papyri of which
it was composed became separated with
out injury to the original writing. Thus
we come to know about the gooschcrd
and al,out a great many other far more
interesting facts in connection with
every day life and affairs of the Egyp-
tians of that epoch. For there are lots
of mummics and quite a crop of Ptole-
malc documents, and many of them will
soon be in the actual custody of the
British museum authorities. Consider
ing the progress that has been made in
Egyptology during the present century,
and the abundance of fresh materialthat
has been brought to light of recent
