is our brain cells are always ready to

department Of human mental activity
in which the motto that practice

we never forget anything presented to

HistoTvs OF the .eHisss.',

by beasts, birds and reptiles as an ex-

is no doubt that there was crowdIng in
the ships that brought them. and to
prevent this a law was passed. impos-

passage from natural causes of per
sons over 8 years of age. This

Least, it is supposed that it did, which
is about the same thing. Ships do not
fancy having to pay fines Of this kind.
"Of course. in comparison with the
great army of persons whaare brOnght

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. ene
of the most curious relics of paga1 IN
which are still worshiped 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.
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 q
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 q 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 Casar's 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.

Pushing Preparations for Complete
Evacuation of China and Will De-
cline to Participate in LStest Move.
Washington, April General Chat
fee has cabled the war department
from Peking that the military COM
manders representing the foreign pow
ers are now considering the question
of disposing of the Chinese forts and
of establishing fortified posts at proper
intervals along the route from Peking
to the sea. General Chaffee seeks in
structions for his guidance in the
conference.
A rather difficult question is in
volved- in General Chaffee's request
for Instructions. AS to the treatment
of Chinese Notifications no particular
difficulty is involved, for the state de-
partment has clearly set it's view that
these should not be destroyed but
simply dismantled. AS to the estab-
lishment of fortified posts, it is prob
able the United States will, on it's part,
persist in the policy of declining to
maintain permanent military estab-
lishment in China.
Meanwhile the war department is
pushing it's preparations for the COM
plete evacuation of China by Amer
lean forces, save only the legation
guard, and it is now stated that every
thing will be in readiness to embark
General Chaffee's army at Taku flor
Manila on May 80.
Not a word has been heard from
Mr.. Rockhill at Picking for the past
three days. Consequently there is no
official confirmation of the Picking re-
port that the Chinese government he's
finally refused Russia's proposition as
to Manchuria.
The Chinese minister was not |
among the days callers at the state
department., but it was learned that
he had not received advices of Chtaa;s
final rejection of the agreement.

Venezuela is country where nature

best of the money is now coming to
citizens Of this country who have been
down there and used their eyes to
good advantage. The greatest COM

$4,000, 900. and its headquarters are in
Minnesota. There are gold mines
which have produced $35,000,000 and
paid $23,000,000 to their shareholders.
