boo DAYS, THEY'RE cALLE0
A Name That ths Ancisnts Origin
Ated In Connection with sertus
the Dog Star.

"You can expect such weGtheR
as this in dog days." said the gov
ernment weather sharper, accord
ing to the Kansas City Star.
''Ninety-three in the shade is nor
NAL in dog day weather"
The belief that the warm
weather of dog days is caused by
the rising together at this time Of
year of the dog star and the sun is
as old as history. Away back in
the dawn of history the Egyptians
began the year with the "dog |
days. the time when the rising Of
the dog star conceded with the ris'
ing of the sun and the food of the
river Nile, which Overfowed and
enriched the banks of that river.
Many centuries later, when the
Roman empire was at the height
of it's glory, the warmest period Of
the year, Between July 3 and
August II, was called the Cam
cular days. Camcula was Latin
name for Serius, the star common
ly known as the dog star. 1t is a
star Of the first magnitude in the
! constellation Canus Major, and is
: the brightest fixed star in the
armament. The Romans ascribed
the great heat of summer to the
influence of this star rising with
d the sun in the morning about July
1 1 in that latitude and continuing
1 to so rise until about August 10.
y But this star does not rise with
q the sun in all latitudes, and owing
8 to the law of procession it rises a
a little later each year, and in time
it will arise with the sun, not in
summer, but in the depth of win
i ter. BUTT is probable that the dos
\ myth will live forever, and ever
ie when, in ages to come, the dog sta
u rises heliacally, or with the sun, il
IS midwinter, the first weeks Of An
ID gust will yet be known popularl,
Is as "dOg days"
Astronomers says that the do
10 star has nothing whatever to d
70 with the warm weather of mi(
no summer. 1t is due alone to the pt
~ sitiOn Of the earth's surface in th
= temperate zone at this seasoI
-, which receives the suns rays a
\. most vertically, preventing th
heat rays from glancingoff. Stril
ing the earth's surface vertical

The End of Christmas.

BY the time this paper reaches the
home Christmas will be nearly gone.
Our gifts to others and from others
TO us will all have been examined,
and most Of them have been acknowl-
edged. A long evening, with the new
treasures close at hand, the new
house coat and slippers giving an ex-
ira zest TO the paper and magazines,
the new ornaments for the home al
ready hung-and Christmas 1905 will
be over.
1t will have been a great day or a
little one according as we have filled
it with the spirit of the season. Civ
ing is the best seal of that spirit, not
receiving. Christmas is a day for the
exhalation of affection, not the bar
tering Of gifts. And this basis of love
is necessary even to the enjoyment
of the tokens we have from others.
Not the most precious jewels, nor
the most beautiful paintings, nor the
richest clothes could redeem the
Yuletide if we regarded them as pos
sessions merely and not as couriers
bearing the love of our friends.
These are, to be sure, familiar
thoughts. They are probably old to
every reader of every newspaper in
Washington. But they are none the
less important for that, none the less
essential to right Christmas day
1t is possible, moreover, they have q
special application to us of 1905, with

ing. If they have that extra interest
then this thought also should i'm.
press US all at the close Of the day:
That the giving at Christmas is
only symbol and that the symbol is
trivial and empty unless we carry
the spirit of true giving on through
the year.
For the season is bound up in the
memory Of Him who gave all that II,
had. His life is its inspiration
/ Unless we are willing to build ou-
lives in the image OF His the celebra
ton of His birthday is a hollow ant
garish form-and most Of us know
from the tug at our hearts this morn
ing that it is something far. far bet

The Man on the Box.

An indignant representative of the

York Sun, in protest against the con-
duct of a person. he encountered dur
ing his afternoon drive. That the Sc
lection made OF the complainants
social grade is accurate is sufficiently
indicated in his letter which follows:

This is horrible. That any person,
whether uniformed or ununiformed.

without even badge or a shield,

well says. the person who endeay-

within the bounds Of logic and would
be warranted bad not passersby,
however irate, long ago became so prop
