Dos Days.-The dog days last from the
beginaiag of July to August 18th. The pop
ular theory is that they are so called because
dogs then go mad; but the notion is etymo-
logically false besides being untrue in fact
Dogs, strange to say, are rather less liable to
rabies then than al any other time. Dog
days is really translation Of the Latsa dies
canicuares' the twenty days before and tie
twenty days after the beffacaf rising Chat is,
appearance in the raorning sum of the star
Sirius, whom the Romans called "Canicula''
or 'lttle dog" The anciepls attribute the
most malevolent influence to this star-our
''dog star'-and sacrificed a brown dog to it
TO appease its rage. If this were not done
they thought that the sea woald boil, the
wine turn sour and the dogs begin to grow
mad, the bile increase and all animals grow
iangaid 1t Il unnecessary to say that in the
course of some age SIRIUS will rise in midwn-
ter instead of midsummer. Perhaps some
wiseacres, like those who are ready TO believe
in dogs aud moons changing the weather and
similar impossbilities, will then give hilA
credit for the frost and snow.
