Why August is Dog Days Month.
Ancient Greeks called Sirius, the
brightest star which is above the
horizon with tho sun in August, the
"dog-star."
Sirius is in the "dog constella
tion," a group of stars that the
Greeks thought looked like a dog
in the sky.
This star doesn't Influence dogs
to go mad; but the hot weather in
August does.

If there is not a marvelous air
ship sailing around Newburgh and
other localities in Orange county,

Stubborn Former.
A farmer in this immediate local
ity was recently visited by a State
Inspector, who told him he would
have to overhaul and clean up his
premises. He swore that he wouldn't,
whereupon the State placed the
"kibosh" upon his production of
milk and butter dealers being noti
fied not to accept them. This was
two weeks ago, since which time
the obdurate farmer hasn't disposed
of a pound of butter or a quart of
milk. With 23 cows to feed and no
returns, his neighbors are wonder
ing how long he will continue
mulish.
Short Weight Bushels.
It has been discovered by sev
eral people In this locality that some
one has been making bushel baskets
which must have "shrump-up"
since they were built, or else the
maker's conscience was shrunken
when he constructed them. "This
wns brought to my attention," said
a citizen yesterday, "when I saw a
dealer buying potatoes of a farmer.
The measure was so rounded and
the potatoes looked so fine that it
attracted my attention, and I ordered
a bushel. When they arrived at my
house I thought the measure
didn't look so generous as that
which the farmer used, so I weighed
the tubers. The weight was just
43V& pounds, instead of CO, the
legal weight. Where the blame lies
I don't pretend to say, but I advise
people to buy their vegetables and
the like by weight. Anyway, I
shall, hereafter."
