full and even necessary to shoot An
old German superstition has 1t that

upon his grave it is enough to arouse
doubts as to the locality to which his

Bells and Steeple.

The church spire at Shalfeet. Isle
OF Wight, England, Is now being pull
ed down. There is a curious couplet
relating to this spire, which runs:
THE Shalfleet poor and silly people
sold their bells to build steeple."
And the local tradition Is that about a
century ago, when the building of
steeples was the fashion, the parish
toner's sold the peal of bells which
hung in the fine old square Norman
tower to the inmates of French mon
astery and with the money thus OBJ
tained erected a steeple on the top
of the tower. The erection has been
an eyesore to archaeologists ever
since, and much has been written
deprecating its existence. but the
parishioners have been satisfied with
their steeple until just recently, when
1t was discovered that 1t was IN a
very dangerous state. and It's weight
was seriously damaging the old tower
beneath 1t has therefore been decid.
ed to pull down the structure, and an
urgent appeal is being made for funds
to remove 1t and to rsnovate the an.

IS RELIC OF PAGAN TIMES
In Brittany There Exists Huge Black
Stone Image Of Woman That
Is Very Old.

One Of the most curious relics OF
paganism remaining in Christian
country Is the gigantic black stone
figure of a woman which is to be seen
in forest of the district Of Morbi-
han 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. Antiquaries
assert that this figure 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 always worshiped the
figure, asserting that 1t has power
over the weather and the crops. IL
the idol Is neglected they declare that
the grain dies on the ear, and II the
anger of the black woman" over Nor.
bihan.
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 1t back and
set it up in it's old place.
Some two hundred years ago Count
Pierre de Lannon, on whose estate the
figure stood, in order to save the
statue from both friends and enemies,
dragged it by forty yoke of oxen to
his own chateau and set it up In the
courtyard. He cut an inscription on
the base Of the pedestal, declaring the
figure to be Venus carved by Cae-
sar's soldiers-Harper' Weekly.
