These Are Dog Days,

Dog days are now in their full force.
The origin Of these dog days is very
antique, and they came about in this
way: The great heat of July led to a
superstition among the Romans. They
conceived that the pre-eminent warmth
and the diseases and other calamities
flowing from it were somehow connect
ed with the rising and setting of the
star Canicula, or Little Dog Star, in
coincidence with The sun. They ac-
cordingly conferred the name of dog
days upon the period between the 3rd
of July and the 18th of August. So
the twenty days Immediately preced-
ing and the twenty days following the
rising of the dog star constituted the
dog days of the Roman superstition.
Their poet, Horace, even believed in
this superstition. He makes allusion
to it in his address to the Biandusion
Fountain, in which he remarks that
the influence of the deg star has made
the water warmer. But the scientific
fact is that spring necessarily pre-
serves mean heat all the year around.

The Spanish Royal standard.

The Spanish royal standard is most
complicated. The red and yellow of The
Spanish flag is said to be derived from
this occurrence: In>137S Charles the
Bold dipped his fingers in the blood of
Geoffrey, Count Of Barcelona, and dlew
them down the counts golden shield
in token of his appreciation of the lat
ter's bravery. The shield SO marked
became the arms of Barcelona, which
became part Of Arragon. and its arms
were taken by that ingdom.
Now to the royal standard: In the
first quarter, or upper left hand of the
flag, are the arms of Leon and CASTLE,
the lion and the castle; the second
quarter is taken up, one-half by the
arms Of Arragon, ,one-half by the arms
Of Sicily. The upper third Of the third
quarter directly under the tirst), shows
the Austrian colors; the lower two.
thirds is divided between the flag Of
Burgundy and the black lion OF FIan-
ders; the upper third of the fourth
quarter shows the chequers, another
Burgundian device, while the lower
two-thirds is shared by the red eagle Of
Antwerp and the golden lion of Bra
bant, and on the top Of all this are two
shields, one showing The Portuguese
arms, the other the French flsur de lie.

HOW RIddx Catches Rats.

John Hamilton has Plymouth Rock
hen which has developed into quite a
rat killer. The trait first manifested
itself some weeks ago when one If the
men.about the stable found a rats nest
and threw the little rodents into the
yard. The hen spoken about was no.
ticed eating the young rats, apparently
with a great deal of relish.
Since then she has been seen on sew
eral occasions under manger, where
there was great rathole. She would
stay there for hours at time. Some
of the men about the place thought the
hen was "broody," but one of the
drivers insisted upon it that che was
watching for rats. This statement was
laughed at, but the other day it was
proved beyond doubt.
Mr.. Hamilton was standing at the
back door of bis Office, and heard a
great squeaking in the stable. He went
to the door and just then the Plymouth
Rock hen came from under the manger
where the rathole is, and in her bill
was rat easily one-third grown.
The fowl held the rodent in her beak
suspended by hind foot. The rat was
squirming and twisting at great rate.
Some of the other fowls tried to get at
the captive, but the rat catcher was too
quick for them. She ran as fast as she
could, all the time shaking her head
from side to side. The rat trying to
bite and would probably have done so
if the hen had not shaken it so violently.
Finally, some of the men drove the
other chickens away, and the Plymouth
Rock was allowed to do as she pleased.
She released her hold on the rat, and
when it tried to get away pounced upon
it and picked out its eyes. After that
few hard blows with the bPak and
the rat was as dead as could be. Will

It's folly to take the time to pare toma-
toes when there is much easier way to re-
move the skins. Every housewife knows
that when great pan of tomatoes must be
skinned for stewing or canning it is the
work of few minutes only to pour scald-
ing water over them, then cool them, when
the skins will slip from them like magic.
The same plan has been tried with peaches,
which are usually pared in the old tedious
manner. This will be new idea to most
housewives, but one well worth trying.
