Dog Days.

lnasmuch as some confusion exists
in the popular mind with reference to
the exact Specification and proper limits
OF "dog days." the Boston Traveller
thinks the following explanation would
not be deemed superhuous: The term
was applied by the ancients to that
period of the year when Sirius, the
brightest star in the constellation
known as CAMS Major, o and set
with the sun, in the latitude of the
Mediterranean. Owing to the precision
OF the equinoxes, that event now occurs
as late as the 10th of August. The
commencement of the Egyptian year
was formerly simultaneous with this
astronomical epoch. There is consid.
cradle difference between standard au.
thorities as to the beginning and end
Of dies caniculares, or dog days. The
following are some of the computations
From July 3 to August II.
From July Is to August 20.
From July "a to August "a.
From the latter part of July to the
LIST of September.

Dog Bites.

Mr.. Macdonald, in Land and Water
says: beg to invoke the powerful aid
of your columns to dispel the silly de-
fusion that a person bitten by a dog will
die of hydrophobia, should the animal
60 mad afterward. Many peopls of
nervous temperament have actually died
of this fear alone, while a lamentable
amount of ignorance on the subject is
still allowed to grow up, When u dog
bites be is instantly suspected Of mad
ness, although not n in a thousand of
the offenders is rabid; consequently,
numbers of u canine friends are
cruelty sacrificed in mere panic. More.
over, hundreds OF other superstitious
fellow-crratures once bitten live in a
horrible suspense, believing that they
must die of the dreadful malady. Now,
the bite of a sound dog is no more fatal
than the scratch Of a child. Further
more, a competent authority states that,
even when rabid dogs bite, only one
case out of twenty-nine is followed by
hydrophobia.
