As most readers well know, dog DAYS
include the period from July 3 to Aug.
IL, and take their name from Sirius,
known as the Dog Star" Sirius is the
most brilliant of the fixed stars, and is at
the head of the constellation CAMS Major
or Great Dog This star. during the
period which we refer TO as dog days,
rises with the sun or within the same
hour Owing to this, the astronomers
say that the dog star rises 'heliacally"
from July to Aug. IL
The Egyptians, who worshiped the
dog as a sacred beast, as did several
others of the ancients, attributed the ex-
treme heat of summer to the influence of
the CAMS Major constellation; the pres
ent Egyptians, however, knew nothing
of this myth, with the exception of the
sect known as the Copts. But with other
nations it is different With many the
superstition has been perpetuated and
handed down to generation after genera
ton until the present time, when the
most intelligent people of the realm
speak of dog days as a season of baleful
glares and breezes.

An interesting case and one of peculiar
complication was disposed of by the
court in Allentown recently. When the
wife of the late Peter Maury, of West
Bethlehem, died two or three years ago,
she left will bequeathing all her prop
erty, real or personal, to her husband,
and it was stipulated that after his death
the estate should revert to ''our heirs, :"
to quote the language of the document
Maury married "A second wife, and a
few weeks after the ceremony he was
taken sick with fever and died.
His widow brought suit against the
heirs, Frank and George Maury and
Mrs. Q. 'Benner, for Il dover right in the
property, which was one-third of the
estate for life. The main question dis
cussed before the court was whether the
interest of Peter Maury in the estate
was an absolute one or life one only
Judge Albrightiook the latter view of the
affair and rendered decision in favor
of the heirs, one of whom lives in Texas.
The property is valuable and is situated
in West Bethlehem Before his death
Maury gave his wife a check for $500 OF
5000 which he had in bank. -Philadel-

A friend whom have missed for many month";
Came back TO me this morning. was sure,
When first ! wakened, something good would
come.
The sky was full OF promises. The earth
Seemed ready for what heaven might bestow,
And l. forewarned and watchful of each sign,
Was standing at my window when heard
A coming, not OF footsteps, but of wings,
And there he was, my dear red breasted friend
Oh, how my heart and eyes went out 20 himl
My heart with joy. my eyes TO see il he
Looked travel worn or weary with his flight;
But, with the same old jaunty air loved,
He futtered WEAKNESS from off his wings,
And turned and looked inquiringly at me.
Ii was so sweet To welcome him once morei
To know that he was faithful, and that
Might now look forward TO the certainty
OF seeing ali the promises fulfilled
Each leafiess tree halo wore of green;
Already fowery May had como, and juno
Was waiting with her train DER yonder hill;
saw it all, while yet the earth was bare,
Because my little friend was here and knew
II all was coming, and would have me know.
Then he became so glad he sang, and L
bowed my head and shed some happy tears

DIR. MoDanieI's Smoking Tree.

Among the people of Norcross DIR. Nc
Daniel, in his yard, grows an ordinary
mulberry tree.
Mrs. Mcdaniel while sitting on the
veranda, saw a puff of smoke emerge
from one of the limbs. She rubbed her
eyes to see if it was not an optical delu-
sion, but when she looked again she saw
fanother puff of smoke spring from an
other limb.
She called to her husband that the
tree was on fire. The doctor came out
and was no less astonished than his wife,
for the whole tree was putting smoke. Il
came out in jets from the limbs like a
boy smoking cigarette. The doctor
climbed into the tree, but could see
nothing unusual about it, not place in
the bark being broken. The smoke was
oozing from the bark and could be plain
ly seen as it floated off on the breeze.
There was no odor to it whatever, but it
was white in color and looked like to-
bacco smoke.
Dr. Mcdaniel called in his neighbors,
and they too were mystified. Soon the
news of the smoking tree spread, and
people from all over town focked to the
doctors home From o'clock until G
the tree continued to emit puffs of smoke
while crowd of about $50 people
watched it.-Atlanta Journal.
