The Dog Days.-These are the dog
days. They begin July 2 and will end
August II. They have nothing to do
with the dogs beyond making those
animals uncomfortable, like the rest of
US. from the heat. They get their
name from the fact that Sirius, the
brightest star in the constellation of
the Great Dog, and called the Dog star,
on these days rises and Gets with the
sun. You can see Sirius any bright
winter night. 1t is a beautiful blush
star, as bright as Jupiter, and rises
soon after Orion, the great giant who
has stars for a belt and stars for u
sword. The ancients, who did not
know enough to discover that the
world was round or moved around the
sun, took notice that the days when
the Dog star kept pace with the sun
they had the greatest heat, and they
thought, therefore. that this star pro-
duced it.

Love Is not a mere attribute of God.
1t is not that Gods love for his crea-
lures is one of his phases OF feeling or
of being, while his sense OF justice Is
another phase. Iti is not that God loves
some of his creatures, aud lacks love
for others. God is love-" and God
cannot be himself and fail of being
loving. God loves those who love
him, and God loves those who do not
love him. What comfort there is in
this truth

Which Will You Choose, Boys?--
read of boy who had a remarkable
dream. He thought that the richest
man in town came to him, and said;
II am tired of my house and grounds;
come and take care of them, and / will
give them to YOU" Then came an
honored judge and said: II want you
to take my place; am weary Of being
in court day after day; I will give you
my seat on the bench if you will do
my work." Then the doctor proposed
that he take his extensive practice
and let him rest, and so on. AT last
up shambled old Tommy, and said,
"I'm wanted to fill drunkard's grave;
I have come to see if you will take my
place in these saloons and on these
streets?"
This is a dream that is not all q
dream. For every boy In this land to-
day who lives to grow up, some posi-
ton is waiting as surely as if the rich
man, judge, doctor, or drunkard stood
ready to hand over his place at once.
Which will you chooe, boys? There
are pupits to be filled by God-fearing
ministers, and thousands of other
honorable places; but there are also
prison cells and drunkards' graves
Which will you choose----Canada

crossing streams near here are frst class and
as we have seen and are able TO judge. there
is not q sorry bridge In Abbeville county.

Farm and Garden Notes,


A big farm uncultivated is like big
statute-hook with the laws but halt
enforced.
Orchards may at first be planted
closely, but in few years every other
tree should be removed.
Bowel troubles often result from
colts being allowed to suckle when
the mares are heated from work.
Ifyou choose cheese making or milk
for market, see that the butter Is III
small globules, so that it will not
readily separate from tho milk.
The COW that must Craze industri-
ouslv half of the summer to recover
physically what she has lost by indif-
fereDt keeping through the winter is
not apt to earn dollar in real proht
for her owner.
A little vaseline to which a few
drops of carbolic acid has been added
rubbed under the jaws OF horse will
do much towards keeping away those
big buzzing flies that keep him toss
ing his head continually.
Outside of liniments for sprains, the
less medicine there is around stable
the better. At heart, intelligent doc
tors have very little faith in the cura-
tive value of any drugs. They rely
on proper food and surroundings, and
careful treatment.
