There is one of the best schools

"DoG-DAls' is an uncertain period.
Bnt it is usual to regard it, and it
has been so regarded from antiquity
as a period when certain malignant
influences combine with heat TO
make happiness insecure and uncer-
tain, The peroid Of dog days among
old astrologers was that time when
the dog star rose with the sun. IL
our longitude this does not occur
until about Aug. 10, when the cool,
delicious air of night makes one
forget the hot sun of day. II dog
days are synonymous with heat aud
malignancy of tho atmosphere re-
sulting from it, they end before tho
dog star comes to our horizon with
the sun. There are at certain sea-
sons peculiar conditions Of the suns
rays, rs well as Of the moon, not
understood but there is no reason
TO believe that the dog star, or any
other star, either in CAMS Major or
Minor, has anything TO do with Wit
iating the elements or shooting death
through any altered rays of sunlight.
The prevalence of disease during
tho close OF tho hot months is un-
doubtedly due more to decaying
vegetation, and the numberless
methods which civilized people have
inaugurated to render impure the
air they breathe, than anything else.
Besides, the long heat has in a de-
gree renervatad the body and Destroy
ed more or less o! its power to resist
the subtle influences that float in
the air. Add to this the over-ripe
and hall-soured vegetables with
which our markets abond, and you
have the fruitful source Of the epi
denies and tho pains that aro
apt to afllict the human family at
that period. There is more poison
in a crate Of wilted summer cabbage
or wagon load of half-soured green
corn than in all the malignant in!ln-
ences Of dog stars or conjunctions
Of planets combined,
