WHEN THE DOG STAR RULES.
Romans and Egyptians Had Ceremonies
on His Rising.

In an ancient calendar preserved
by Bede, the beginning of the dog
days was placed on July II. In one
pretixed to the common prayer,
printed in the time Of Queen Eliza
beth, they are said to begin on July
6, and to end on September ); and this
was continued from that time till the
restoration, when the book was re-
yised and the dog days was omitted
From that time to the correction Of
the British calendar, almanacs had
the beginning of the dog days on July
10, and the end on August 20; but
since that correction the times of the
beginning and end have been altered,
and the former was placed at July
30, and the latter at September 2.
Ancient authors tell u that on the
day the dog star rises in the morning,
the sea boils, wine turns sour, dogs
oegin to grow mad, the bile increases
and irritates and all animals grow
languid; and that the diseases ordi-
narily occasloned in men by it are
burning fevers, dysenteries and fren-
zies.
The Romans sacrificed a brown dos
every year in Canicula, at lis rising, to
lppease its rage.
The Egyptians carefully watched
The rising of this star, and Judging by
1t of the swelling Of the Nile, called
the star the sentinel and watch Of the
year. Hence, according to their mode
Of hieroglyphic writing, they repre-
,ented it under the figure Of dog, OF
Of man with dogs head, and wor-
SHIPPED him under the name of Anu
bis, whose figure was hung up in all
their temples, to give notice of the
approach Of the inuudation Of the
Nile.-MirrOr.
