Last week marked the beginning of what are known as the "dog days,"1 which precede and follow the behacal risinz of the star Sirius, in the constel lation ot the Greater Dog. They will end August 27. The season is regarded by many persons as more unhealthy than that which immediately precedes or succeeds it, and as being a time when mankind is more liable to attacks from disease through ex posure or imprudence in general hab its than in any other. The heat, while the dog days last, is usually more sultry and oppressive than any other in the summer. Then, too the meat and vegetables are supposed to be in more danger of spo-linjt from the ef fects of the weather than at any other time. - It Was A "Big Worm."

The Italian continued working when his hand began to swell which attracted the attention of his fellow workers. The Renovo News say that he explained the matter sen tentiously in these words: "Worma bit ma hand. Hurts lika hella What do?" An investigation showed that the worm was over four feet long and a deadly, black rattler. The hand had swollen to eight times its normal size. Centralia'a Teachers. The Centralia School Board met last week and elected teachers for the ensuing year. No changes were made in the personnel of the corps.
