A Couple Of 1nterestine Folklore Stories
Concerning Those Luminaries.


A Couple Of Interestine Folklore Stories
Concerning Those Luniinarioa.
Tho most touching Of all folklore sto-
ries may be found in Charles II. Lum-
mis- Pueblo Folklore. 4" It Is One Of
the many myths Of tho moon and beauu-
fully conceived. Tho sun is the Allfa-
thar, the moon the Allmother. and both
shine with equal light in the heavens
But tho Truos, the superior divinities,
find that man. the animals, the flowers,
weary Of a constant day. They agreo TO
put out tho Allfaiher's, or SUMS, eyes.
The AllmOther--tho moon-o1fcrs her
self as q sacrifice. "Blind me, sho
says, "and leave my husbands eyes. 4"
The Trucs say. 1T Is good, woman.
Thoy accept the sacrifice and tako
away one Of the Allniothor's 8 eyes. Hence
the moon IS less brilliant than the sun.
Tho man finds rest at night, and tho
flowers sleep.
IN Mrs. Leiber Cohen's translation Of
Sacher Masoch's jewish Tales thcro
is a variant Of the sun and moon story
derived from the Talmud Briefly told,
the sun and moon arc equally luminous
10 is tho moon who wants to be moro
brilliant than tho sun. Deity IS angcred
at her demands Her light IS leasoned.
''The moon grew pale. Thon God pitied
her and gave her the stars for compnn.

feeling will probably be one Of disnp-

must be put down to tho highly oxng-
goratod accounts Of onrly writers. The

as tho wing spread Of bird actually

1884 with wing spread OF feet 6
inches and e measured feet from
beak TO tail. Tho measurements Of one
that fell 70 Humboldt's gun tally pretty
closely with those of the bird that Dar-
win killed.
Part Of the disappointment Is no doubt
due to the surroundings. One has form
ed vivid mental pictures Of tho bird
sailing at a great height without an ef-
fort, soaring IN graceful circles, or glid-
ing down like lightning upon its prey.

WILL FIGHT FIRST
Venezuela Cannot Submit to
English Dishonor
POSITION OF GREAT BRITAIN
Light OF sentiment, Not
Territory.

Washington, April At is stated by
persons in a position to speak with au-
thority that as soon as Venezuela is
CONVINCED that Great Britain has final
ly refused to arbitrate or settle the
boundary dispute, as suggested by the
United States, through Ambassador
Bayard, the southern republic will re-
eretfully but resolutely resort to what
she regards as her only course, a resort
to force. 1t is declared that her peo-
pie are ready to see their homes and
their cities desolated and laid in ashes.
rather than to submit to what they re-
gard as national dishonor.
1t is said that the contention with
Great Britain is not so much one OF ter
ritory as OF sentiment. So firmly i'm
pressed have the people become with
this that the opinion is expressed that
they would rather see the country go
out of existence than pass into the prac-
teal control of foreign hands A strong
feeling exists in the Venezuelan govern
ment that the United States will not
stand idly by If a resort to force Is made.
1t is understood that the position of
Great Britain in declining the sugges-
ton of the United States for the settle
ment of trouble with Venezuela is sub
stntlally as follows:
First-Cireat Britain takes the POSI-
ton that the question of arbitration
was once before proposed by Venezuela.
At that time the foreign office gave the
subject the most careful attention and
submitted a reply embodying a propo-
sition TO arbitrate certain definite sub
faf fftfkx ~ h
