THE GOOSE BONE PROPHET.
Frigid Weather Predicted During
the Coming Winter.

Elias Hartz, IS years old, is the famous
goose bone prophet of Berks county, Pa. He
lives now with his son in PHILADELPHIA. and
has issued the following notice of warning 10
the people of Philadelphia, which applies also
to this section of the country:
Fiji up your coal bins and keep them well
filled. You're going to have hard winter
and a long one.i
The original goose bone prophet of Berks
county stakes his reputation upon the predic.
ton, and he thinks that you will find that it
has more solid basis than have the predic-
tons OF the government weather sharps
at Washington, who have been telling rs
for days past that dreadful hurricane
would sweep this section of the country, with
cool weather following, and haven't vet pro-
duced as much of blow as will knock down
even poorly built corn shock or even A
change in the sweltering weather. A new
prediction from these high salaried shark. is in
order. EIJas HIpry
Hartz for half century has been looked M
to as almost infallible by thousands of inte,li-
gent farmers. People go to him regularly
each fall from far and near to find out what
sort of winter to expect-whether it is neces
sary to lay in big supply of fuel, and to have
heavy hannels ready, or whether they are to
have open pasture for their cattle
For seventy years, since he was boy of is,
Mr.. Hartz has been making weather predic-
tons, in which the farmers of Berks county
have always had the greatest faith. He has
letters from leading men in his section Of the
State saying that bis predictions have saved
them hundreds, even thousands, of dollars.

why the Onions Smells" So
From Chambers Journal


1t is interesting to make inquiry into
the cause of this unfortunate quality of the
onion. 1t is simply due to the presence
In some quantity of another mineral mat
ter in the bulb sulphur 1t is this sui
phur that gives the onion its germ killing
property and makes the bulb so very use
full medical agent at all times, but espe
cially in the spring, which used to be
and still is in many places-the season for
taking birthstone and treacle in old-fash
toned houses before sulphur tablets came
into vogue.
Now sulphur, when united to hydrogen,
one of the gases of water, forms sulphur
cited hydrogen, and then becomes foul
smelling, wellnigh fetid compound. The
onion, being so juicy, has very large
percentage of water in its tissues, and this,
combining with the sulphur, forms the
strongly scented and offensive substance
called sulphuret of allyle, which is found in
all the albums This sulphuret of allyle
mingles more especially with the volatile
or aromatic oil of the onion; it is identical
with the malodorant principle found in
asafetida, which is almost the symbol of
all smells that are nasty. The horsera-
dish, so much liked with roast beef for
its keen and biting property, and the ordi
nary mustard of our tables both owe their
strongly stimulative properties to this same
sulphuret of allyle, which gives them heat
and acridity, but not an offensive smell,
owing to the different arrangement of the
atoms in their volatile oils. This brings
up to most curious fact in nature that
most strangely, yet most certainly, con-
structs all vegetable volatile oils in exactly
the same way-composes them all, whether
they are the aromatic essences of cloves,
oranges, lemons, cinnamon, thyme, rose,
verbena, turpentine or onion, of exactly
the same proportions, which are Ssh Of
carbon to If of hydrogen, and obtains all
the vast seeming diversities that our nos
trils detect in their scent simply by diff
ferent arrangement Of the atoms in each
vegetable oil. Oxygen alters some of these
hydrocarbons, sulphur others.

Written for the Democratic Advocate,
BY o. C. sHIPLEY.
A sweet face came into my life.
With starry eyes where dream-hopes lay,
To cheer me mid earth's darkest strife
o, where are they to-day?
Within a silent city white,
Where evenings balmy zephyrs play,
On grassy knoll, mid flowers bright.
We buried her to-day.
1.-THE Western" people call the place.
Near to the city's hum and whirl;
There the cruel earth meath its embrace
Doth hide the little girl.
How beautiful is DEATH" may sing
The poet of the Southern lands
Who beauty saw in everything
/ fail to understand.
Where beauty lies in persisted clay;
In pale hands crossed above the shroud;
The wan cheek, and the eyes of gray,
No more with light endowed.
BY her smiles our hearts were lighten'd
OF many burden which they bore;
And our pathway oft they brighten'd
Upon earth's storm-swept shore.
She faded like some late flown rose
Which droops beneath an early frost;
And day by day still paier grows,
Until its bloom is lost.
Yet still her radiant, starry eyes
Haunt me amid the shadows deep;
While DER her grave the night wind signs,
And dews of evening weep.
