INVESTIGATION MADE.

Detectives Inspect Bank to Learn
Burglars' Methods.
Detectives Muller and Baur went to Sandy
Spring yesterday afternoon to investigate
the methods employed In the attempted
robbery Of the First National Bank of
that place. mention Of which was made in
Yesterdays Star. The detectives found
that the door of the bank had been
opened with a jimmy and the combination
had been broken with a sledge hammer
that had probably been taken from coun-
try blacksmith shop.
The investigation showed that the nitro
glycerine used by the burglars had not
done effective work and it was doubt
due to the efforts of Postmaster Weather
al that a second and possibly successful at
tempt was not made. The detectives
learned from the condition of the bank WIN
dows that the postmaster is a good marks
man. When the latter heard the noise of
the explosion he suspected what was going
on because of the recent attempt to bur-
elarize the same bank. Taking his Win
with the windows of the bank and began
firing. Three bullets from his rifle went
through one hole in the glass; passing d.
rectly in front of the safe, so that they
would have done effective work had one
of the burglars been at the safe door.
stolen from the farm of Mrs. Leishears at
Olney had not been found. 1t is believed
the burglars stole the team, as was done
when the attempt was made only few
weeks ago. Three men were seen in a
wagon answering the description of that of
Mrs. Leishears hurrying toward this city.
It is the belief of the officers that the bur-
glars were on their way to railroad sta
ton and that the team was probably aban-
doned in the woods.

Why We Eat Oysters Raw.
All Druggists, Is and 50 cents

DR.. William Roberts in his interest
ing lectures on the digestive ferments
writes: "Our practice in regard to the
oyster is quite exceptional and furnish
es a striking example Of the general
correctness Of the popular judgment on
dietetic questions. The oyster is al
most the only animal substance which
we eat habitually and by preference in
the raw or uncooked state, and it is III
teresting to know that there is a sound
physiological reason at the bottom of
this preference.
"The fawn colored mass which con-
stitutes the dainty of the oyster is its
liver and this is little less than heap
Of glycogea. Associated with the gly-
cogen, but withheld from actual con-
tact with it during life, is its apprcpri-
ate digestive ferment, the hepatic dias-
tase. The mere crushing of the dainty
between the teeth brings these two
bodies together, and the glycogen is 1T
once digested without other help by its
own diastase.
"The oyster in the uncooked state Oh
merely warmed is, in fact. self digest
i've. But the advantage Of this provi-
sion is wholly lost by cooking, for the
heat Immediately destroys the associ-
ated ferrnent, and 8. cooked oyster has
to be digested, like any other food, by
the eaters own digestive powers"

Lincoln as q Life Saver.

William A. Newell. who had the rare
distinction Of being governor Of two
states-New Jersey and Washington
told in Success of his romantic expert
ences as a congressman in 1S49, when
he originated tho life saving service by
offering a resolution in the house of
representatives to appropriate money
to save lives imperiled by the sea. Eel
low members of congress at that ses-
sion were John Quincy Adams and
Abraham Lincoln. Mr.. Newell said:
"Various objections were made to my
motion, the strongest Of which was
that the scheme was impracticable. I
laid the matter before q great many
senators and members, speaking to
them in person. Ex-President John
Quincy Adams occupied seat just be-
hind mine and after the reading Of the
resolution clerk leaned forward and
said to me, 4 would like to see that res
olution.' I sent for it and handed it to
him. He read it over carefully and,
handing it to me, said. with smile: Tt
is good. I hope it will prevail Abra-
ham Lincoln also read it and said:
Newell, that is good measure. I will
help you. I am something Of life
saver myself, for I invented scoW

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

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 relics Of paganism
which are still worsliped in Chris
tan country is the gigantic black
stone figure of a woman which is to be
found in forest Of the district Of
Morbihan, in Brittany.
It 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 huge, un-
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 a 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 it
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 a 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.

Calling the Doctor.

4 good story is told Of Dr.. &, who is
the physician in charge Of the female
wards of one Of Or best known chart.
table institutions. One evening about
9 o'clock Mary, & new Irish servant
girl, knocked at the door, saying:
Doctor, the head nurse wants you
to come down to supper"
The doctor, swelling in his pride OF
superiority above the nurses, sent the
Irish girl away with a curt message
Half an hour later the head nurse came
to his room looking very serious.
Doctor" she said, 'No. s is very bad
indeed. think you ought to see her al
once"
"Why did you not let me know be-
fore?" was the reply.
"Why, DOCTOR" said the nurse, "i
sent you word by Mary half an hour
ago."
"The foolr said the doctor. "She
told me to come down to supper"
"Why," said the nurse, II sent you
word to come down to eightv'
An inquiry made the whole thing
clear. Mary thought it more polite to
say "Come down to supper" than tc
say "Ccme down to ate."-Pearson's
Weekly.

A SensifiEe Scot.

A sensitive Scot rebukes the London
Daily Chronicle for saying that his
countrymen pronounce man "mon.'
'aThe absurd form 'mon,' he writes, "is
the hall mark Of Scots vernacular as
written by a southern pen, and it's in.
trusion has often lent additional sad
ness to comic Journalism, even, alas,
to the pages Of our chief humorous
periodical. In the north Of England
mon certainly occurs; in Scottish
speech never. In Scott and Stevenson
one may look for it in vain. The
broad, soft rocalization of the word in
Lothian dialect lies somewhere be-
tween 'maun' and 'maan,' but as It
cannot be literally symbolized the
word should be spelt in dialect pas
sages simply as in English"
