Goosebone Tells of Gold Weather

According to the goosebone, there is a hard
winter ahead.
Notwithstanding the fact that Elias Hartz,
the veteran goosebone weather prognostlca,
tor, is no more, there remain in Reading and
vicinity several of his ardent followers, who
stand ready to take up his work where he left
off, They are warm supporters OF the goose.
bone theory and say representations OF
Hartz always came true.
Harris foretold weather conditions for many
wears. He was taught to read the goosebone
when boy and made annual predictions for
over half century. Many Reading persons
waited for his annual advice, Fill
your coal bins Others have been following
the goosebone and its teachings for many
years and are anxious to take up the work.
The earliest prediction of the present year
is made by Amos Mayer, farmer living in
the western end of the county. The front
part of the top of the breast bone is very
dark, and near the center it is white for
considerable distance. Beyond this it is dot
ted, and then comes a long dark streak. The
goosebone prophet said to-day:
According to the breast bone we will have
quite cold weather in the latter part of Oeto-
Der and for two weeks in November.
Then there will be warm spell, lasting for
few days December will be cold month,
with an occasional snowstorm. January will
be month of snow. hail and an occasional
cold spell.
The dark colors on the end of the breast
bone indicate that February will be very
cold month, and there will be several biz
yards. At one particular part ofthe bone it is
almost black, which means that we will have
lots of snow and seet. The cold weather
will continue into March, and we will have a
very late Spring."
The goosebone was compared with several
obtained from other birds killed within the
past few weeks, and they seem to be marked
| identically the same.

Profits From Alfalfa.

Here is what one farmer-Rude Aspel
did with 13 acres of alfalfa on the D.. F.
Deck farm; The Is acres averaged 5
bushels to the acre, or total Of s. bush
els. This he sold at SO bushel, or $500.
Besides this he sold the hay for $50,
realizing $3.50 off of Is acres, or little
better than S43 an acre. This in itself
is remarkable, but when it is remembered
that this was done by Rude Asper, who
admits that he is the poorest farmer in
Osborne county, it is little less than mir.
aculous. If the entire 1863 acres contain
ed in this farm were sowR to alfalfa and
made such a yield the value of the OroE
would be Sc, $40.

College For Orphan Girls.

Among the greatest benefactions must
be reckoned the bequest OF 50, 600, 600
by Robert n. Carson, the Philadelphia
millionaire, with which to found college
for girls which will be similar to the Girard
College for boys. There could not be
worthier foundation.
According to the plans Of Mr.. Carson
the institution will not be controlled by any
religious denomination and no religious
services peculiar or exclusive to any church
will be held there. The girls will be in
structed in the fundamental doctrines of
Christianity. While clergymen will not be
excluded, none will be permitted to make
proselytes nor to refer to their own peculiar
tenets in talks to the pupils. That will
assure the realization of the founder great
desire-real non -sectarianism in the college.
In these days of enlightenment the big
otry of sectarianism is rapidly passing away.
Indeed there are many good Christians,
who cheerfully admit that cody members
of other denominations also may be saved.
That marks great advance in comparison
with the recent period when it was thought
almost sacrilegious for person of one de
nomination to attend services in the church
of another, and when the man or woman
who attended services at different churches
without joining any congregation was set
down as little better than heather.
This new college will be open to girls
who are orphans, and to none others
They will be admitted only if both parents
are dead. In the matter of admission pre-
ference will be given to the girls of Phila
delphia and Montgomery county. When
these are provided for those born in the
State of Pennsylvania will be admitted,
and after them the girls of other States.
There will be almost, if not quite enough
girls in Philadelphia and the adjoining
county to fill the institution. The age re-
striction will prevent over-crowding at the
beginning, as only girls between the ages
of six and ten years will be admitted,
These will be discharged at eighteen unless
the trustees deem it to the advantage OF
individual pupils to discharge them earlier
In most instances it will be found advisable
to keep the pupils until they have reached
the full age limit, because it would be
dangerous to the pupils themselves to turn
them out into the world, knowing practl-
cally or absolutely nothing of its ways and
its wiles, before they have reached the age
of eighteen. Harrisburg Independent.

A Nursemaid's Murders.

A series of horrifying crimes came tt
light at Munich, Germany, recently, when
Ida Schnell, II year old nursemaid, con
fessed that within the last three months
she had put to death seven infant children
entrusted to her keeping by stabblng them
with hairpins at the base of the skull. Her
last victim was baby only two weeks old,
the son of peasant in the village of Am
permoching, near Munich.
Her confession was wrung from her after
the police had exhumed the body OF her
last victim in her presence. She said 1t
was her habit when the babies would not
stop crying to stab them at the back OF
the head with hairpins until their shrlll
voices were hushed forever. Immediately
after each murder the girl would give up
her position and take another.
That the cause of the babies deaths was
never discovered is explained by the fact
that inquests in Bavarian rural districts
are conducted by laymen instead OF by
physicians. The Public Prosecutor has
ordered the bodies of the young murder
ess' other six victims to be immediate ex-
humed

A Wholesome Lesson.

The severe stringency in the money
market during the past six months that
caused such slump of stocks and securi-
ties. created terrific panic during the
past ten days, in New York and other
money centers has, through the aid Of the
Treasury Department Of the Government,
subsidized, and public confidence is being
restored and business is settling down to
normal conditions.
The panic has proven wholesome lesson
in warning this wild speculative age, and
financiers to go slow in handling the hetero-
genous mass of alluring and promising pub
lie and private investments.

He Introduced Himself.

The Chief Game Warden of Colorado
was walking out in the mountains recently,
when he met hunter with his gun. The
official suggested that that ought to be
good country for hunting.
at certainly is, said the hunter,
proudly. Il killed one of the finest bucks
yesterday I ever saw, and he weighed
more than 200 pounds. y
1t was the season when deer may not
be shot without subjecting the hunter to a
heavy fine.
"Well, that is a fine one, said the
warden, land do you know who you are
talking tor
Being assured that he did not, the otfi
cial said
'Why, | am the Chief Game Warden
of Colorado. y
The hunter was only taken back mo-
ment, when he said:
"And do you know who you are talk
ing to ?"
The warden did not know.
"Well, sir, said the hunter, appar-
emily much relieved, "you are talking to
the biggest liar in the whole State of Col
orado.'

Washington and Lee.

We have no sympathy whatever
with Tom Watson's attempt to
place Lee above Washington Gen.
Lee is nearer to us, he suffered more
with us and for US, we love him above
any other; but the majestic figure of
Washington towers out of American
history above all other men, and
even the greatest captain the En-
glish speaking peoples have ever pro-
duced' should not be forced into
rivalry with him. Such comparison
is peculiarly odious. Gen. Lee re-
vered Washington above all other
men in history, and the soul of Wash
ington surely loves the soul of Lee

ations, they lived were side by side

1t is announced that the govern
ment will look more carefully to the
enforcement of it's rule regarding the
roads over which free delivery is es-
tablished. The present requirement
is: 'Roads traversed shall be kept
in good condition and unobstruct-
ed by gates; there must be no un-
bridged creeks or streams not forda-
ble at any season the year. In many
cases the residents along proposed
routes have made improvements that
enable them to obtain rural delivery
service, but sometimes the efforts to
keep up the roads are relaxed. But
the government has decided that un-
less the.roads Travelled by the carriers
are properly maintained the service
will be withdrawn. The Postoffice De
partment now calls on the carriers
for reports on the roads, and will
stop the service where the highways
in question Gre bad.
There are 80, ,O765 rural carriers
now employed over S63,363 miles
daily, and it is unreasonable to ex-
pect them to contend with neglected
roads, or work for communities lack
ing the enterprise to keep their
common highways in decent shape.
When a route is discontinued the in
habitants themselves will be to
blame for it, for if alive to their own
interests and their duty to the pub
lie they would give their roads vigor'
Gus and constant attention. The
idea that route once authorized is
necessarily permanent is a mistake

The Local Newspaper.
Its Importance Not Appreciated by
Some Persons Factor in Local
Development.

Derry (Mass.) Enterprise
1t is the local press which serves
you in every emergency. There you
go in trouble. 1t is there you go in
prosperity. If you want to boom
any manufacturing enterprise, any
railroad project, any scheme for the
development of your town, or if your
lodge desires to add to its member
ship or to erect new hall or in any
way advance its interests, the local
press is Immediately appealed to for
help. So it is with your churches.
If it is picnic or a festival, a new
carpet or an organ the local press is
found to be useful in furthering every
good object. Ii a raid is to he made
on sin by the ambassadors of Christ,
the columns of the local paper are used
freely and gratuitously i'll advertising
the revival or protracted meeting.
The candidates and politicians find
also the Importance of the local press.
Clearly there are many reasons why
the local press should be cultivated.
Yet in spite of all these facts the peo-
pie most interested in the local paper
are the last to give it their support
and are frequently known to take sew
eral metropolitan papers and shut
out their local paper altogether. Ii
there is anything in the argument
about the advantages of home trade,
surely it makes a strong appeal en-
behalf of the local press, because the
money ofthe labor is always expend
ed where the paper is printed, and if
paid out with one hand for subscrip-
ton, advertising or job printing it
comes into the other hand and thus re-
mains with you. Ifby any means you
freeze out your oaclpaper and leave
yourself at the mercy Of the foreign,
you would find out more fully than
words or arguments could explain
why the local paper should be culti-
waited.

How Canada Controls Trusts.
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.


Let the people once prove that trust
exists in Canada, and the minister of Gus
toms is empowered without any special
legislation, to reduce the tariff This
done, the trust is effectually crushed. The
United States would profit by similar
system of curbing corporations.
This is the opinion of j. A. NcDon-
aid, editor of the Toronto Globe.
This is a solar plexus blow to the
Republican contention that the Tariff
has nothing to do with the Trusts.
1t is the breeder ofmonopoly and the
nursery of extortiOn, and, while in
ordinate protection enables certain
industrial freebooters to exact merci-
less toll from all other classes of the
community, it is idle to be applying
soothing salves to the surface of the
sore or to administer palliative pills
to the patient. 1t is hard to believe
that Mr.. Roosevelt has the rights
and interests of the masses OF the
people deeply at heart, when he
spends SO much time and thought
trimming the tendrils OF the vines
which throttle the limbs OF the body
polite aud leaves untouched the wide
root whence all the poisonous Off
shoots spring. The Trusts are sim
ply taking advantage of a vicious
system of laws. They are not law
breakers but use the opportunity for
excessive profit deliberately furnished
them by the lawmakers. Change the
law, abolish the privilege, and, the
whole structure of bleod-sucking in
equality will fall to- the ground. 1t
is the standpatter who should be in
dicted, not the corporation who fat
tens on the statute.
