As most readers well know, dog days
include the period from July to Aug,
II, and take their name from Sirius,
known M the DOG Star" Sirius Is the
most brilliant Of the fixed stars, and isat
the head of the constellation CAMS Major,
or Great Dog This star during the
period which we refer to IA 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 3 to Aug. II.
The Egyptians, who worshiped the
dog as a sacred beast, aa 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
rect known as the Copta But with other
nations 1t 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 Us a season Of baleful
glares and breezes
But in the far future this win all be
changed by a regular shifting Of the
point where the sun crosses the equator,
which is caused BY what Is termed the
procession Of the equinoxes," " the time
will come, in about 1900 years, when
this evil designing Great Dog constella-

An Amusing Scene in Court.

One Of the most amusing yet unex-
pected sensation scenes ever witnessed
in a theatre occurred at the Theatre
Royal, Manchester. The curtain drew
up for Mr.. Toole to address the court in
re Bardell VS.. Pickwick, when the whole
of the jury mysteriously disappeared,
their "box" suddenly giving way and
inguling the ''good men and true"
At first the vast audience who crowded
every part of the theatre were silent,
fearing some dreadful accident had oc-
CURED, but as the unlucky jurymen
rapidly reappeared, unhurt, though look
ing very foolish, they broke out into a
perfect hurricane af laughter, which
lasted several minutes.
The curtain had to be dropped to allow
the jury to be "boxed" again, and when
Mr.. Toole began his address he provoked
another burst of risibility by alluding to
the jury as ''that worthy body of stead
fast and immovable men,"
A peculiarly amusing feature of this
novel scene was the fact that the major
ity of the ''jury" were stage carpenters,
whose duty it was to erect the ''court," +"
and they suffered in this case for their
own carelessness.- s.-London Tit-Bits.

CITY and Country.

The city person, it is well known, is
often as much a "greenhorn" in the
country as the country person is in the
city. A girl who had been accustomed
to certain city squares and exclusive
parks, whose high barred gates were
closed at fixed hour every night, made
her first visit to the country. She was
being taken about through the lanes and
fields by her mother when the sun set.
'Say, mamma" said the little girl,
"haven't we got to go in? What time
do they close the country, anyway"
1t was city boy, too, who, when
taken with him by his country cousin
while he dug some potatoes, watched the
process of unearthing the tubers for a
moment with great wonder and then re-
marked:
''Is that where you keep your potatoes?
should think it would be more con-
venient to keep them in barrels, the way
we do"
The country greenhorn" in the city
has this advantage over the ''city green
horn in the country, that he does not
put on airs of superiority on all occa-
sions. 1t was city boy in the country
who, being taken to a peach tree full of
ripe and delicious fruit, and invited to
help himself, remarked somewhat loftily:
mo, thank you. l never eat them
until they are cannedw-Youth's Com
paniOn.

to deposit the stakes in the hands of the
incredulous man; and then they called
upon the Spiritualist with the weird look
in his eyes to make good his words.
He seemed strangely reluctant, and
sighed and hesitated, but at last he made
up his mind and said:
eff comply with your request you
must all submit to my conditions. You
must give me your promise that no one
will attempt to intrude upon me or dis
turb me in any way, and that l shall
have one witness with me-"
This was considered quite reasonable,
and all consented readily.
81 need not add that of course You
will hold yourselves bound in honor to
keep the conditions faithfully. You, sir"
he continued, fixing his basilisk eye on
his opponent, who WINGED perceptibly,
"shall be that witness. You must ac-
company me into the next room; the
doors shall be left open, and you will
have to describe aloud whatever you
may see If the experience turns out to
be painful one you have only yourself
to thank for it."
With these words he rose and walked
toward the corridor leading to the inner
part of the house, and beckoned to the
other man, who, by this time consider
ably subdued, hesitated for minute;
but, putting on the best face he could,
he took up a lighted lamp from a table
and followed him into the first room to
the right, leaving the doors wide open.
AS they disappeared a strange hush
fell over the noisy and excited COM
pany. Silence reigned for some time,
until the twelve strokes of midnight
were heard sounding distantly from a
church clock. Then voice arose in the
next room, saying slowly and solemnly:
Maurice Durand thou who didst
promise that on the anniversary of our
cruel parting thou wouldst give me the
consolation of seeing thee again if !
called upon thee TO appear, remember
thy promise! Dear friend, l entreat
thee come, Mauricel Appearr
Then came a pause, amid breathless
silence; but soon the voice was heard
again, saying:
Maurice, remember thy vow! I be-
seech thee, appear!''
Another silence. Then another voice
was heard, saying in tremulous accents:
''There is faint light in the darkest
part Of the room. It takes
shape! Itapproaches!
It is All! Awayr'
An unearthly shrek rent the air, fol-
lowed by crash and heavy fall, and
andthen all was silent once more.
The startled listeners looked at each
other with dismay Some had turned
pale, while others looked ill at ease, but
all felt uncertain, irresolute what to do.
Some time elapsed before it was sug-
gested that they ought to disregard their
promise and go in and see what had
happened, SO as to render assistance if it
were needed. A move was made toward
the room, but it was in total darkness.
A light was procured. and this was what
they found:
The room was empty, the lamp was
upset, the table overturned and the
window wide open. . The two
men had gone-and the stakes with them
From the French.

crossed a daisied field; the skies were fair;
The lusty trees stretched green arms over
head;
The sun shook gold dust thro' the April air,
And glad brook leaped down its pebblcd bed.
The meadow lark flung out such liquid notes,
My happy soul stood still and leaned to hear:
The wild canaries fiuffed their yellow coats,
And turned their restless heads in jealous
fear.
And, oh, my heart was glad, for it was spring;
Blue, blue the dappled skies that swung
above!
But still more glad my soul, remembering
The world was sweet to me because Of love.
crossed a lonely field the skies were gray;
The winds crept in from sea with sullen
means;
Ice locked, ice bound, the brook grieved night
and day
Above the hollow sound of falling cones.
With drumming wings the notified pheasant
flew;
The ghostly trees reached barren arms across;
And, oh, my heart was sad-so well knew
The winter world was dull because of loss.
