nrinin Of "Doa DAYS"

The ''dog days" are the hottest Of the
year, but they have nothing TO do with
dog or wish any Of their diseases or sut'
ferinRs. The "dog days" are 10 named
because in the latitude Of the Mediter
ransan this period concluded with that in
which the dog star arose ct she same time
~ the sun, and therefore, added its heat
% that of our already bot luminary. The
dog star, Sirius, is the brightest and, In
appearances, the largest Of the fixed stars.
It il called she dog star because it is seen
IN The constellation called CAMS Major.
According to PtOlsmy, this star used TO
have faFy color, redder than the planet
ATsrs, bat is now altogether white, and
has certainly been white for many cen.
tuEies.
The heat Of the "dog days" really
comes from the gradual heating Of the
earsh'a surface, which gathers beat, and
becomes warmer from grounding time,
February I'd, until about August 6sh,
when Il begins gradually to lose its beat
until grounding time,

R. R. SHUTTING OFF TRAVEL

-
EDITOR TRANsCRIPr:-You editorial OF
August 9th on the subject Of "Obstructing
the Highways" by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company was just and timely.
/ have long wondered Why the travelling
public 30 tamsly submitted to this i'm.
position. II is q public nuisance and
does great harm to the farmers in the
whole neighborhood around and to our
own business men, physicians and others
seeking to get in or out OF town. | have
often been delayed by this stoppsge OF
the highway, when visiting patients IN
the country, from fifteen to twenty min
utes, and on one occasion which recall,
when on my way to see very sick child,
was thus detained, and the child came
near dying in consequence OF my failure
10 reach her earlier. This danger ls
always present, and may occur at any
time with fatal results.
There is no need of the thing; it is
piece of sheer impudence upon the part
Of the railroad authorities, for they could
with q little trouble to themselves open
the train and let the travellers through.
But guess they think they can do ae
they pIease-at any rate they act 30 IN
this and in other ways. Once when
driving over the track, just as my horse
got about halfway over right in front OF
The engine, the engineer blew shrieking
blast with his whistle that startled my
horse go that it was with the greatest
difficulty that I was able to keep him
from running quite away, and smashing
the vehicle. It was in broad daylight
and was passing within a few feet OF

who blew the needlessly loud and sudden
blast: but what OF thatl have some
times thought that the engineers do those
things out Of pure Cussedness just because
they can do them.
II there is no law to protect the people
from these invasions of their rights, then
the Legislature should pass one-the
whole country ought not to be at the
mercy of the railrord company in this
fashion. MEDIcUs.

MEDICAL SOCIETY AT CAPITAL
Records Show That One Was Estap
lished There as Early as the
Year 1917.

About the year 1900 DR.. Frederick
May. who went to the capital from
Boston and settled on Twenty Build
ing HILL" took up his residence on
New Jersey avenue, Capitol hill.
Dr. John Bullus was located on Sew
enth and l.. streets southeast. Tradt
ton says he had small drug store
there. A Or. Carroll was near the cor
ner of Pennsylvania avenue and
Twelfth street about the same time.
Besides these We're other physicians
not in private practise. Among them
Dr. William Thornton, who planned
the capitol, and surgeons of the navy
who attended the families of the Off.
GERS and the small force then in the
city; DR.. Edgar Cuttbush and DR.. John
Harrison of the navy and DR.. Elisha
Harrison of the army, who later es.
tablished drug store at Fourteenth
street and the avenue.
According to the researches of the
late DR.. J. NJ. Toner there were nine
physicians and two apothecaries in
the city in 1915. Two years later,
however, the twenty-second of Sep.
TENDER. 1917 sixteen physicians, in.
GLIDING those of Georgetown, formed
a medical society. This meeting was
held at Tensions tavern, which is
still standing on Pennsylvania avenue
east Of Fifteenth street, in 1902 being
known as LOyellS and afterWard as
the City hotel.

Trade Follows the Doctor.

At nine O'Clock the stranger in the
neighborhood saw a grocery wagon
standing In front of the doctors house
down the street At ten o'clock an
other wagon stood there. and at II
o'clock still another.
THE doctors family must be big
eaters If 1t takes so many grocers to
supply their wants. she said to the
janitor,
''Oh. they are not all delivering stuff
at the doctors house," said he. They
are only stopping there as an adver.
tisement."
Every grocer, butcher. baker and
dairyman In the neighborhood bitches
his wagon In front OF the doctors
house and carries the things from
there the rest Of the way II pays to
make folks think they have the doc.
tors trade.
MANY people who have just moved
into neighborhood never make up
their minds who to deal with until
they find out where the doctor trades.
He is supposed to buy only the best
foods and the newcomers feel safe in
trading where he does"

Couldn't Come Back.

Servant girls must all look pretty
much alike to men," said the woman
with the twinkly eyes. AT least they
do to my husband.
II had been without one for nearly
two weeks. and | couldn't seem to
convince my husband of the difficulty
of getting one worth having. Finally
he got very cross about it one eve
ming, and picking up the paper he
pointed to the Situation Wanted col
umn and announced that there were
scores of girls advertising for places.
III get one for you this very eve
ming, he announced.
'Ie copied off several addresses
and went out. Did he come back with
one? Indeed, he did, In about half
an hour. And who do you think he
had in tow?
THAT impudent, nasty Della, the
girl discharged only two weeks ago.
or course he hadn't recognized her,
and she came in as impudent as you
please, with all her bundles, prepared
to stay. But you can gamble she didn't
and my husband has decided to leave
those matters to me in the future"

nervous children are controlled by
wise parents. A rhinoceros had an alb.
scess In its face. The question was:
Did II come from bad tooth, or did
1t only need lancing7 The superin-

rhinoceros at once ate 1t, grinding up
the bits with great gusto. "Ah! You
see his teeth are all right" said the
superintendent, and the next day the
abscess was lanced with a sharp bill

The diagnosis was as ingenious as
his method of managing Billy, a re-
fractory chimpanzee. The big ape
needed exercise. This he obtained by
being allowed the run Of the large
monkey house, instead of remaining
In side room, before the visitors
came. AS he knew he would be caught
and put back into his own compart-
ment at this hour, the ape used to
climb to the top of the other monkeys
cages and refuse to come down.
As he could not be tempted with
food. the superintendent appealed to
his mind by working on what he had
noted to be his weak points, curiosity

traverses the house. pretending to
point out some horrible unknown crea'

saying nothing except words to this

two men would peer into the dark
place under the gas pipe.
The monkey, on such occasions,
would come down to see what the sub
Ject of fear and interest was, and
just then the superintendent and the
keeper in unison would shout: He's
coming out! He's coming OUT" and
would rush away In the direction of
Billy's cage. The monkey would dash
for the same place of safety, which
happened to be the door of his own
house, and sometimes enter 1t before
