THE DOG DAYS.
Continually Dropping Back and May
Come Eventually in Winter.

Come Eventually in Winter.
Dog days begin, according to the
traditions of boyhood in certain parts
of the United States when the green
scum, algae, begins to appear on the
surface of the lakes and rivers Then
it is supposed to be unsafe to go in
swimming. And it is then that, ac-
cording to the tradition Of many adults
as well as of boys, dogs most frequent
ly 20 mad. All nations and races of
civilization, apparently, have had a
period during the summer known as
dog days, when many maladies were
supposed to be common. But the mad
ness Of dogs, hydrophobia, was never
associated with dog days by the an
clients.
Dog days are rather indefinite pc
riod, according to this green-scum rule,
but there is a disagreement Of au.
thorities as to when dog days really
do begin and end. According to the
Century Dictionary, "dog days are
part Of the year about the time Of the
heliacal rising of the dog star, Sirius;"
that is, when the dog star rises in cop-
junction as may be observed. Various
dates from July to August 13 have
been assigned for the beginning of
dog days, and they are given various
durations from 80 to 80 days.
1t seems to have been from the hell
acal rising of Sirius that the ancients
most commonly reckoned the dog days.
Thus, at the present time, dog days
would begin July 8 and will end Au'
gust IL. Sirius is the brightest star
in the heavens, and it was easy to as
sociate the mutual heat Of the bright
est star and of the sun with the hot
testand most unkindly period Of the
year. Hippocrates (45O b. C.) declared
the dog days to be the most un'
healthy part Of the summer.
Dog days are continually dropping
farther back in the calendar. Now
they are 10 days behind the schedule
to which they held in the period of
the Pharaohs. In time Sirius may rise
in the dead of winter. The Egyptians
maintained that the first indication Of
the rise Of the Nile took place on the
morning of the longest day when, as
they said, the sun and sothis (Sirius)
rose together They attributed the
rise of the river entirely to the great
heat generated by this star in con
junction with the sun.
Sirius is situated in the mouth of
the constellation CAMS Major (the
"great dog'D. The Latin name OF
dog days was "dies canicularis," and
from this comes the term canicularis
year." which was known among the
Egyptians and Ethiopians. 1t was
computed from one heliaeal rising OF
Sirius to the next and consisted ordi'
narily Of 365 days, every fourth year
having 800 days Chicago News.

Judgment Key 10 Greatness.
Roosevelt, John Hay, and few other
men owe a great part of their unique
fame TO the possession of this rare
good Judgment.
A young man was canvassing in his
own neighborhood for a new style Of
dustpan. While demonstrating the
taking points Of his article he said TO
his prospective purchaser: "Now, you
see, this is gotten up especially for
just stout ladies as you, who find it
difficult to stoop." The woman in
question ehaneed to weigh about 40
and was Of fine figure and carriage,
and an expert golf player. She after
wards said that she felt more like box
ing his ears than buying anything he
might have.

General Hop Report.

Those who have been so confident
that the yield this year would be bu.
little less than last are now revising
their estimates, in view of the blight
that has struck all yards to a greater
or less etent. II is now thought that it
will be fully one-third less, IL not more.
And this does not include the further
decrease which may be caused by the
injury from lice, Of which there Is a
good sprinkling in most yards. If they
get into the hop there will be trouble,
and lots Of Il. 1t all depends on the
weather for the next week. The yards
are in a rather critical state just now,
and this fact is generally acknowledged
The weather has improved during the
past few days-Waterville, n. Y, HOP

PAY FOR CONVICT LABOR.

Clergyman Suggests That It Should
 Go to Family of Criminal.
 Trenton, N. J.. Aug 23.-The New Jersey State Federation of Labor con- cluded it's annual session yesterday The Rev George B. Wight, who was recently appointed commissioner of charities and corrections, addressed the federation advocating a new sys- tenn of disposing of the product of con vict labor. He said: II wish that when man of family Is imprisoned the work that he does in the institution might go for the support of his fam lily, which otherwise would have to be sent to the almshouse and be support ed by the county.
 Tt seems like punishing the family more than the person committing the crime under the present system. If the criminals family was to be paid for the work he does while confined. the criminal would be punished and at the same time the family would not sui fer I do not know how tnfs can be accomplished, but there must surely be some way. and trust that the wise men of this body will put their brains to this knotty question and give us the benefit of their thought

CANADIAN NEWSPAPERS
 MAY CAUSE STRIFE.
Proposed Raising and Removal to Detroit of Three British War Vessels Sunk by Commodore Perry in 1913 Has Caused Much Agitation Among the Do. minion Newspapers.

Detroit Mich. Aug 3.--Agitation by several Dominion newspapers threatens to precipitate an interna- tional controversy over the proposed raising and removal to Detroit of three British war vessels which were sunk in the River Thames in the famous land and naval battle of October >, 1913.
 The remains of these once staunch war vessels were a part of the British fleet that attempted to resist Commo- dore Perry at Put-in-Bay. After the crushing defeat administered uy Per ry. the shattered remnant of the Brit ish fleet slipped to Detroit and was hastily pressed into service by General Proctor. Four vessels were hastily loaded with arms, ammunition. stores, government papers and other plunder, from Detroit, and all speed made to Lake St Clair. The little fleet took re- fuge on the Thames, and in the battle which followed the ships were sunk. Tecumseh, the great Indian chief. who assisted the British lost his life, and Proctor escaping, later committed suicide.
 The vessels were forgotten until re ently when plans were made 10 raise them
 Newspapers on the Canadian side, however, are vigorously protesting against presenting them to Detroit, and it is not unlikely that the Domin- ion government will be called upon to take action In the matter.

 This Morning.

Simonsville had a little sensati ton of It's own this morning when James Connolly of S1 East Clay street, a car penter, and Mr and Mrs Joseph Green- Dlatt, proprietors of the Metropolitan Dye works, on the River road. had a three-handed scrap at the Greenblatt residence on South Main street, near iiy opposite Turner's bridge, so-called, lh winch the carpenter hit Mir Green Dlatt over the temple with a hammer ana gave the woman a bad cut on the Iead Wlth the same weapon. The 6feenDlatts were not idle while this was going on and between them they gave Connolly a bad clawing and it would appear from what has been heard on the matter that he was kept busy defending himself. The row oc. cured over the building of a barn. connolly was to do the work and the Greenblatts were to furnish the mater lal. The carpenter didn't think they Kept faith with him and said so. Just which struck the first blow will not be known until tomorrow morning when the case will be aired in the po- lice court. and it may be difficult to find out even then.

CLEVER SPINDLE
Man and Wife Caugh t by the New York
 Police.

New York, Aug 23.-In the arrest last night of Carl H. Hoffman and his wife, Elizabeth, handsome girl of about IS years the police assert they captured the perpetrators of real es- tate swindlers in the Bronx, amounting to thousands of dollars The Hoff> mans claim Los Angeles.

At later meeting for transferring the property, the agent alleges that Hoff- man handed over to bind the bargain a check for $2,OOO, purporting to be drawn on the Bridgeport National bank of Connecticut, signed by "Sahr'' and apparently properly certified The agent then handed Hoffman 1865 check as his commission.

FATAL FEUD.
Farmers Quarrel May Have Caused a.
 Murder.

Greenwich Aug 23.-Alonzo Ferris, a well to do farmer of Sound Beach, was burned to death in fire which destroyed a large barn together with horses and farming implements, during last night The fire was discovered by q cOachman named William Williams who notified the owner of the barn, but the fire had gained too much head way to be extinguished. In an attempt to save his favorite mare, Mir Ferris entered the barn. but was overcome by smoke and dropped in the stall with the horse, the bones of both being found side by side when the ruins had cooled sufficiently to permit men to enter.
 In connection with the burning of the barn, William Comfort a prosper Ous farmer in the vicinity, has been placed under arrest and is now in the Greenwich jail awaiting hearing. About a month ago large barn on the property of Mr Ferris was destroyed by fire and Mr Ferris ordered the ar rest of Comfort, who he claimed had threatened to burn him out. Sheriff Ritch had been on the lookout for Con fort ever since that time. but had been unable to find him. After last nights fire Sheriff Ritch made a search of the Comfort premises and found his man, whom he immediately placed under ar rest. The financial loss is about So,- 0OO.
 In MT Fetris's barn at the time the fire was discovered were two farm hands asleep, and both had difficulty in getting out, one being slightly hurt. Mir Ferris had mare and three colts stalled. besides a horse he was train ing for New York man. Mir Ferris wanted to save all the animals and he rushed through a shower of brands to get them. Possibly he would have been successful had he not had trouble in getting the mare to back out of her stall, for while he was trying to sub due her the walls of the barn fell in and he was seen no more.
 In regard to the charge against Con- fort it is said that the men had had disagreements over cattle, during which it is said that Comfort made threats. Soon after this barn was burned and MT Ferris obtained war rant against his neighbor. The paper had not been served. however. but after last nights fire Deputy Sheriff Ritch went to Comforts house and took him to the jail. It is said that Ferris's son was witness to the dispute be- tween his father and Comfort.
