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. "THE MIDDLBBUR0 POST AT ATLAXTIC CITY.
