The dog star, Sirius, made its annual
appearance Saturday, and from now until
the 9Th OF September it viii be the part Of
wisdom for our fashionable ladies not to
tie themselves too tightly to a snub-nosed
pug. 1t is an edifying spectacle at any
time to see an intellectual female accom-
modating herself to the gyrations OF the
little party at the other end Of the string,
but at this particular season it Is positively
awe inspiring. The conjunction OF the
rising Of the dog star with the rising OF
the sun was regarded by theancients as one
of the causes OF the sultry heat OF summer
and OF the maladies that then prevalded.
But as the conjunction does not occur at
the same time in all ATTITUDES and is not
constant in the same region for long
period, there has been much variation in
fixing the limit OF dog days, but Ameri-
can calendars generally call it the time
from July 25th to September 9th.
