THE BLACK VENUS.
An Ugly Stone Figure Worshiped by
Peasants of Brittany.

Even false religions die hard, and
there are reminders of all extinct
faiths still existing in the world. One
of the most curious relies of paganism
which are still worshiped in Chris
tan country is the gigantic black
stone figure of woman which is to be
found in forest of the district Of
Morbihan, in Brittany.
1t is known as the BLACK Venus"
but probably dates far back of the
time when the Greeks and Romans
worshiped that goddess Antiquarians
assert that this ugly idol belongs to
the age of the serpent worshipers, one
of whose subterranean temples Is in
the neighborhood. This would make
the figure far older than the Christian
era.
The statue is that of a huge, I'M
couth woman, with a sullen, angry
countenance, her form enveloped in a
loose mantle.
The superstitious Bretons have al
ways worshiped the figure, asserting
that it has power over the weather and
the crops. If the idol is neglected, they
declare that the grain dies on the ear,
and if the anger of the black woman is
further reused tidal wave sweeps
over Morbihan.
Twice the stone was cast into the sea
by pious folk who hoped thereby to put
an end to this idolatry, and twice the
peasants dragged it back and set up an
altar before it.
About two centuries ago Count Pierre
de Lannion, on whose estate the figure
stood, in order to save the statue from
both friends and enemies, dragged il
by 40 yoke of oxen to his own chateau
and set it up in the courtyard. He cut
an inscription on the base of the pedes-
tai, declaring the figure to be Venus
carved by Caesars soldiers.
The count and his chateau are both
gone, but the huge black woman, over.
grown with moss, still stands in the
forest, and the peasants still beseech
her to bless their crops.

A STRANGE LAKE.
The PecuIiarities of Body of Water
In Australia.

an australia
Lake George is situated about four
miles from the railway station at Bun
gendore, Australia, and has for many
years engaged the attention Of scien-
tific men by reason of the singular and
inexplicable phenomena connected with
it. The estimates of it's size vary con-
siderably according to circumstances,
but when moderately full about 20 by
miles will be found tolerably correct.
At either end the land is fully 100 feet
above the highest recorded surface Of
the lake, which possesses no known
outlet although it is fed by numerous
mountain creeks.
The lake was discovered by a bush
man in 1920 and was known to the
blacks as the "big water" 1t was then
supposed to form the source of river
having its mouth on the south coast
but subsequent visitors were much
perplexed at the manner in which the
blacks avoided the lake, of which they
appeared to entertain a superstitious
dread, one aged aboriginal stating she
had seen it all covered with trees, an
other explaining that the whole of the
water sunk through the bottom and
disappeared, while others remembered
the lake only as a series of small
ponds.
! During the following 20 years con
siderable variations were noted In the
depth and extent of the lake. In 1871
the lake became partially dried up, the
moist portions being simply grassy
swamps. A few months later large
numbers of sheep were pastured in the
bed of the lake, but fresh water had to
be carted for the use of the shepherds,
that of the lake being too salt for hui
man consumption. The place remained
more or less dry until 1852, the year of
the great floods in that part of the col
ony, when it again became filled, with
an average depth of nine feet. Since
then the surface level of the lake has
varied considerably, but the bed has
never been so dry as in former years.
| There are indications that many hun
| dreds of years ago the lake covered a
far larger area than any yet recorded,
remains of trees over 100 years old be-
ing found in spots formerly under wa
| ter. The saline character of the lake is
the more remarkable by reason of its
being fed by pure and sparkling fresh
| water streams.

THE INDIANS PAID.
What the White Men Charged Them
For killing One Donkey

In "Reminiscences of Old Times In
Tennessee" a story is told of the good
faith and honor of a party of Chicka-
saw Indians. While hunting one fall
they shot donkey, mistaking the
creature for wild animal. They sold
the hide, and it finally came to the
hands of John Barnes in Upton.
When the Chickasaws returned to
the region of Upton for their annual
hunt the next fall, Barnes invited them
to a shooting match, the prize to be
the skin of very rare animal.
Thirty braves appeared at the con-
test, and one of them won the prize.
When he saw the skin, he turned it
over and said: 'Ha, ha, me kill him!
Me shoot him! Seer And he pointed
to the fatal bullet hole.
Then Barnes told them that they had
killed a donkey, a very useful animal,
but he was sure that they had done
1t by mistake believing it to be wild
animal.
The Indians listened attentively to
the white mans words and then con-
Sulleu together IL lew IulnuleS. lldiiN
they separated, each brave going to his
pony, unhitching him and leading him
to the spot where gang of white men
stood, Barnes in the midst of them
Then one of the Indians spoke:
1--WE sorry we kill donkey We think
he belong to the woods. We find him
in cane. We think him wild. We
sorry now we pay. We take no white
mans boss, pony, nothing Of white
man. We honest. We have ponies,
that's all. Take pay" And he mo-
toned to the long line of ponies, held
by their owners.
"How many?" asked Barnes.
"White man say" returned the In
dian, take plenty"
The honor of the red men was not
equaled by the white men, for, be it
recorded to their shame, they took
from the Chickasaws 35 ponies to pay
for the accidental killing of one don

, ST, JOSEPH. Mo-. July 31.-The second
game OF the st. Paul series was won by
the locals, the score being 2 to l. The
two cliques of Saints fought for the win
ming run until their nails turned black
The agony was not prolonged. how
ever, the time consumed in taking Mr.
Jimmy Ryan and his blonde mustache
antO camp being only an hour and ten
minutes. Hulswltt was at his best. He
scored one of tine runs. 1t was a busy
day for Inn. He had eleven chances and
played without errors. In the sixth inn
ing he took exceptions to the decision of
Buck Ebright. He was ordered out of
the game, which is not according to
itIoyle in the Western league. The rules
of the organization require that player
be fined before he can be put out of the
game. President Hickey was in the
grand stand, and when called by Man
ager McI[ibben informed Ebrlght Of his
error. The latter withdrew his first pun
ishment for the questioning of his au-
thority and fined Hulswitt flyer The
decision over which the trouble took
place was on the stealing of second base
by Kelley. Hulswitt covered the bag,
and il looked like he had the runner by
a foot, but Ebright refused to see 1t that
way. Harry Maupin was right Not
man walked on him. Chech pitched d
good game, but was connected with in
some form or other by every man that
faced him. The first run of the game,
and the only one made by the visitors
was scored by Brain in the fourth inn
ing. lie knocked a long fly to Garven
who dropped the ball, and Brain made
second stealing third a moment later.
shannon was thrown out at first by Huls-
witt. Soaaefer flew out to Honeyman,
and Brain beat the ball to the plate.
'Holiy was thrown out at first by Hall.
The locals tied the score in the same
inning. Hulswltt hit safe to left field,
Ryan dropped a fly from the bat Of
Schrall. and Hulswttt made third,
Schran going to second. Doom flew out
TO Dillard, and Sohrall was tagged in
trying to steal third. The seventh inn
ing of the visitors did not last long
enough for them to read the signs on the
fence. Holly was thrown out at first by
Hulswitt. Wilson was caught out on a
liner to Davis. and Check flew out to
McKibben. Schrall was given his base
on balls, Doom sacrificed and Hall made
second Davis hit safe to center field,
and Schrall scored. IIoneyman flew out
