SIRIUS AND THE DOG DAYS,
Time Has Worn Away the Link That
Bound Them TOGETHER.


The dog days. when excessive heat
Is supposed to prevail, begin July 3,
according to the ancient reckoning, and
continue to Aug. II. All sorts Of tradi
tons and surcrstitions are connected
with this period. and various dates are
also given.
In some sections the dog days are
said to begin on July "a and to end on
Aug. "a, while still others attribute the
malevolent influence Of the dog star
upon the earth to the period from Aug
to Sept. 4, in accordance with the an
cient Egyptian reckoning.
AS matter of fact, the rising of the
dog star, CAMS Majoris or Sirius, has
nothing to do with the affair at all
The rising of that star has been so ac-
CELEBRATED by the procession of the equi-
noXes during the passage of more than
1000 years that the corresponding con-
ditions for the ancient dog days no
longer exist.
In ancient times in the ATTITUDES of
the Mediterranean the period OF great.
est heat nearly corresponded with that
time in which the dog star rose at the
same time with the sun. To this con.
junction all antiquity and all the later
followers of judicial astrology attrib-
uted a malignant influence.
Among the modern notions regarding
the dog days is the absurd belief that it
is during this period that dogs are most
likely to go mad.-St Louis Post-Dis
patch.

The world renowned doors Of the
baptistry at Florence represent nearly
the entire life work Of GILBERT. He
began the first pair when he was twen-
ty-three years old. and when he fin
ished the second pair he was seventy
three. Excepting the three statues
outside Of San Michele and one or two
minor works, these two pairs of bronze
doors represent his labors for half
century. These doors, declared by
Michelangelo fit to be the gates of
paradise" represent the book of Cen
esis in all the depth of its meaning,
and the skill Of the artist has never
been overpraised. 1t is impossible to
exaggerate the glory Of the work

GOOD FORM IN TENNIS.
Don't Copy Bad Style Because Some
Star Player Uses II.

Don't Copy Bad Style Because Some
Star Player Uses It.
Good form in tennis is hard to de-
scribe. 1t is not necessarily the ability
to win matches, nor is it always the
most graceful way Of hitting the ball
1t is rather the method Of playing
those strokes that have been shown by
long experience to produce the best re-
suits with the majority Of players.
One too often hears an ambitious
young player declare that any stroke
that wins is good enough for him. Be-
cause Mclaughlin won International
matches in spite of using a cramped
backhand swing they are willing to
copy his style IN the hope of equaling
his skill.
But success does not justify bad
form. What McLoHghlin or Brookes
might do with a bad style Of play is
not always the best for others to at.
tempt. Ten would fail with such meth.
DDS where one would succeed, while
with good form ten would succeed
while one would fail.
A young player with generous fu-
ture before him might much better
select as model of good form strokes
such as Johnston uses or those shown
by Larned. With such model any
healthy, active boy should be able to
play tennis well after steady practice.
The game does not require height or
weight or any unusual physical qualifi.
cation.-J. Parmly Paret in st. Mich.

We give Thee thanks, oh Father, for
the grace
That Thou hast given. For the
strength to face
The world and fight, yea even to the
end.
We do not ask Thee, Lord, that Thou
shouldst send
Upon as all the blessings that we
crave;
We do not ask Thee, Lord, that Thou
shouldst save
Us from the cup of sorrow, nor that
Thou
Shouldst give to us those glittering
treasures, now,
Of love and fame and wealth-the
precious store
That men count wealth and happiness.
Before
Oftimes we knelt in anguish and to
Thee
Prayed for these things, like little
children, we,
Begging for harmful sweets. Lord
now we ask,
Grace for the day-strength for the
given task.
