Dog Days do not Mean Mad
CANNES say Men Who Know

Dog days and the traditions and
superstitions that attend them dill the
morbid mind with many terrors. but
in truth there is more OF hoax con-
nected with them than with those Of
other seasons OF the year. Crystal
Falls folk. therefore, who have here
tofore permitted those particular An
gust days TO provoke fear in their
minds should compose themselves and
reflect that after all the dread is large
ly tigurement OF the fancy. wholly
without reason.
Few persons who call this hot
weather dog days really..kn how the
term started. The old Greeks, whose
pet Paris poodles weren't as good ma
tured as ours. paid more attention to
stars than they did TO spaniels.
So they let astronomy go to the dogs
when they called the brightest star in
the SKY the dog star Its other name
is Sirius. The Greeks preferred to call
il the dog star because the constella-
tion that Sirius belonged to looked to
them like one OF Jupiter's pet CANNES
running marathon all over Mount
Olympus after piece Of meat. for beet
steak was high in those days, too
This bright bowwow star rises with
the sun over the horizon in August. so
we call this time Of the year dog days
Dog star days would be better.
: Mad dogs caused more trouble in hot
weather than in winter, and in some
remarkable way people got to believe
that the dog star really made dogs go
mad.
AS soon as we tear the July leaf of
our calendars and August stares at us,
the face of dog rises up like mind
ghost Then we begin TO watch every
restless dog that gets in our way. even
IL he is only chasing the butcher 8
I wagon with fond but vain hope
a Seriously though there are few
a things one ought 20 remember There
] is difference in a mad dog and a
a mad dog scare.
D Rabies, the disease that makes dogs
{ 20 mad, Is the least understood OF ami
Z NAL complaints The disease hydro
} phobia. which is human rabies, sug-
: gests another hoax. II comes from
two Greek words that mean afraid
' Of water " Mad dogs are supposed to
, fear water when In reality IL is the
: glitter OF water that they fear liz hurts
their eyes which are always effected
: by rabies For the same reason they
! hide in dark corners and under the
sheds TO escape the glare Of day.
Another dog DAYS hoax is the mad
stone That revered geological speci-
men. generally owned by the Indian
doctor or the herb dealer IN The next
county, once was supposed TO be sure
; thing cure for hydrophobia. But the
experts tell us il does no more good
than piece Of bIotting paper.
Even the Pasteur treatment. which
lie supposed TO have saved 80 many
lives. is being attacked by Lataud the
great French authority, and doctors in
this country They say that everybody
who has been cured by the Pasteur
treatment xould have recovered any
way. So. they argue. what's the use
10 take the cureS
Deaths In Chicago are more frequent
from hydrophobia than in any other
city Of Europe or America.

sUPERsENsITIVE.

The representative are more to be pitied than blamed, for they put an interpretation upon conditions which are unwarranted This is what vir- ginia sorehead writes to the Rich mond Times-Despacth:
 The soldiers who went to the in- auguration received no attention from any one and were absolutely ignored. Tn fact, one member of the Blues told me that the northern soldiers, so far from appreciating their presence at the inauguration. seemed to look on it in the light that the Blues were being honored by being allowed to mingle with them.
 .'If such is the spirit manifested in Washington, I for one, say let our soldiers stay at home in future. Tn New England they were treated glori- ously, but in Washington they were absolutely ignored in every way"
 This is mostly of the imagination, for Washington is southern in all re- spects-in it's sympathies and in its 1t is not likely that the Virginia troops were sighted any more than New England troops. The was not there. but he is a southerner and a democrat, and shows the sectional and partisan spirit which is never rational and which makes pitiable objects of otherwi good citizens.

clPRTANo CASTRO AGAIN.

President Castro of Venezuela, if reports are true. has not the millions in foreign banks which he was re- ported to have had, and he is said to be short of funds and in love with his country as never before. His pat riotic fervor is shown in this utter ance of his:
 Upon the altar of noble purpose have sacrificed all that is highest to man-my leisure. my possessions and my very existence. In the service of sacred duty which love of my country has imposed upon me I have exhaust ed all my strength. Thus I ere ated splendid peace with a titanic stroke of my powerful arm, which nearly demolished three of the might fest nations of the Old world. Venezuelans. a great heart knows no lust for revenge. forgive you freely, and while I say my last farewell, am constrained to declare that in my breast there still glows the sacred fire of patriotism, which will enable me, should the fatherland again need my services. to gird on my glorious fight ing armor with undiminished courage"
 If he would write a comedy and stage it in America, acting as the star himself, there is no question but he might make enough money here to command Venezuelan respect and to gain restoration to the hearts of his countrymen.

WRITING THEIR CONGRESSMAN.

The insurgents in congress have a large popular backing in all parts oi the. country and the way Speaker Can- non gets tho rules continued is thus explained by a Wisconsin paper:
 "Once each two years new con- gross is organized. The new members are sworn in. Then after a speaker is elected and some other business transacted, a chap gets up and says: T move that the house proceed to do business under the rules of the pre- ceding congress.
 Uncle Joe will hit the table a crack with his gavel, and unless the mem bers do differently this year. the mo- ton will pass, and the voting on that motion will be the first, last and only free act of that congress during it's two years of life"
 This paper, of wide circulation, says to its readers:
 Some 100000 people are going to write their congressman about the sit- uation in response to a campaign waged by one of the magazines. You will be in good company if you join the movement.
 Mind you. the issue is. Shah we have a sixteen-second congress or a two year congress% Write your con- gressman and say, Let the house name its own commitees.'"
 This Is merry war Speaker Can non has aroused, and 1t means prog ress, whatever may be present results.

THw EXPECTATIONS OF BOY
 HOOD.

Boys begin to take a serious view of life earlier than most people think, and early decide what they intend to do or to be as men. To see what these early decisions amounted to, a super intendent of schools in Wakefield. Mass, eleven years ago. made note of what 4s7 twelve-year-old boys ex- pected to do in life for support of themselves and families. should they have them. He has now traced out 406 of these boys and finds that at 22 years of age all but five of them are follow ing different occupations from what they thought they should. This goes to show that in this whirligig world of ours that the growing man cannot do what he will but what he must. It is not probable that these 400 boys of 22 will remain in inc occupations they were found in, for it is by fol- lowing an occupation unpreferred that the preferred calling or business is attained Life is a hard road to trav- er' but the American boy gets over the road and wins out oftener than any other.

The state inent of the effect of the agitation up- on those suspected of having tubercu- losis, made by Governor Lilley, to show the public obligation to these suffer CTS. confirms rather than refutes Dr. Harrington's averment-
 Nervous people are being frightened by the agitation and 1t Is alleged that some of them If they hear a hard cough in a car are likely to leave the car. If they see a thin, wan figure in a store they f1dget and whisper and de- eide to take no chances and to buy else where. If there Is a consurnptive in a building in which they are tenants they become anxious to move, and move at once. Some are so terrorized that bhey seem to fear to stop and chat for a moment with a sick friend in the street. Exciting fear of disease is against the well-being of the en- tire community.

WHO INVENTED THE MoNlroRY

It has always been supposed that Ericsson invented the turreted, low board monitor which overcame the ironclad confederate ram. the Merri-
 mac, but on the 47th anniversary of that event, March 9th, it was an- nounced that Theodore R. Trimby of Brooklyn, now living in cramped cir curnstances. invented the boat and was paid S5,OOO royalty by the com pany building the first two monitors, but further than that has never re- eeived a cent, or even recognition by the government who are using the tur- ret on the battleships today. The New York legislature has recognized the claim of Trinby to the honor. And had 1t not been for an enterprislng company of Connecticut capitalists, the Monitor would not have been ready and the Merrimac would have bonn barded Washington. as Secretary stanton feared. and laid all the cities along the seaboard under contribution. Connecticut not only shines as the Constitution state but as the state which had men whose foresight saved the nation when it seemed impossible to do so.

CIRCULATION
A POSITIVE OPINION.

The permission to sell disessed meat given by pr. Peters, chief of the Mas sachusetts cattle bureau, has called forth a storm of denunciation which must make his ears ring. If tubercu- loais is so much to be feared. 1t Is a crime for a man in his position to permit infected meat to be sold in the market A denouncer of Dr. Peters conduct Is Dr. c. K. Hagen Burger. an associate of pr. Koch. and he says of slightly infected meat:
 T would not eat beef that was in any way infected with tubercle bacilli. nor would I give it to my dog"
 This wide difference of opinion among men of ability and familiarity with the subpect Is very confusing to the laity, and tends to queer the whole subject; but then doctors seldom do agree. SO 1t is not 50 surprising at it af ffrst seems to be.
