Sparrow. Fired the Building.

A pair of English sparrows who built their untidy nest in cornice of the Girls high school were the indirect causes of some excitement and of a fire, about which the bright faced pupils will outchatter the sparrows for days to come. The damage was small, but that was not because of the good intentions of the feathered interlopers. For aught any one knows, they may have wished to burn down the whole building, the housekeeping season being over with them and they little better than feath- cred vagrants.
 How they managed to fire the build ing is not very clear. Professor Barthol- omew thinks they carried a match in the nest just as they pick up all sorts of oth- CT trifes; that it got very dry and was ignited in some mysterious way. The woodwork of the cornice was easily set in flames, but it never got much of 8 start. The fire was discovered by Miss Olive Catlin, one of the teachers. She informed Professor Bartholomew, who at once ran up stairs aG threw bucket of water on the blaze.-Louisville Cou- rier-Journal.

Why Are "Dogdayso So Called4

Properly speaking, the "dogdays" last from the 3d of July to Aug. II. Dogs are then popularly supposed to go mad, but it is mistaken notion, besides being un- true in fact. Dogs are, strange to say, less liable to rabies then than at other times. "Dogdays" is translation of the Latin "dies caniculares," the 20 days which precede and 20 which follow the rising of Sirius, the star, which the Ro- mans called "Canicula," or the little dog" The ancients considered this star to have an evil influence and sacrificed a brown dog to it in order to appease it's rage. Of course it is known that in the course of time Sirius will rise in midwin- ter instead of midsummer.
