I iui; Days.
Some time between the first week in
July and the second week in August,
for authorities are not agreed, the so
called dog days occur. There is a po
pular impression that the hot weather
prone to dog days because of an ob
served tendency of dos to become
mad, orat least because of an Irritabil
ity due to heat that makes (hem more
dangerous at this period than at other
times of the year.
This tradition i- only another ex
ample of the well-known exhibition of
words to usurp the function of facts
when tl riginal meaning of a word
becomes obscured. The visitor to Lu
cerne may believe tin' folk-story that
Mount Pllatus is so called because
Pilate in his wanderings from Jerusa
lem committed suicide there, until lie
finds that pileatus is tin- Latin for
eaped, ami perhaps the uame is due to
the fad thai the mountain i- frequent
ly capped with clouds. The doe; days
.are so called because of the heliacal
rising of Slrius, the dog star, at this
period. Dogs arc, however, no more
liable to go mad at this time of the
year than at any oilier.
This is UnfortUUOSely the only sea
sou as a rule in which any serious
though! token of the danger from
hydrophobia. The danger exists al all
seasons of the year.
The disease is perhaps a little more
frequent in the early spring than at
any other time. Asa result of the pub
lie carelessness with regard to hydro
phobia there is al least a score of death
from it in this country every year.
