Several Nations Have Not the slightest
vestige of Cresds.
The savage's conception Of religion
is very different to that OF the civil
lied man. and the lower orders Of
savages are exceedingly shy with
white men on this subject, hence Max
Muller may have been right when he
said that wherever there is human
life there is religion At the
same time the evidence Of many
noted travellers and keen OBJ
servers goes to show that there
are tribes in existence which ap-
pear to have no conception of religion
in the usual acceptance of the term.
Among these may be termed the Pig
mics Of the Aruwimi forest, the Bush
men of South Aria, the Veddahs Of
Ceylon. the Fuegans Tin which Dar-
win was unable to discover any trace
/. of religion). the Indians of the Gran
Chaco in South America and some In
dians in California. In former times
many of the south sea islanders had
no religion. but have since become
Christians. 1t is also said that those
extraordinary people, the gypsies,
have no definite conception Of religion.
AT the same time 1t should be remem-
bered that If the word religion" is
held to cover belief in good and evil
spirits, witchcraft, and so on, then it
is apparently universal.

young man is employed in the Penn
sylvania railroad shops, and the other
day he was sent to Phillipsburg to re-
pair the roof On the station, and give it
a coat of paint. After he had been at
work an hour or SO heavy rain be-
gan to fall and the following telegram
was received by the foreman at the
shops: I am on the roof and it Is

sho.,ax . Hor.s In China.

In China the shoeing Of horses Is q
very different process from that en-
ployed by an American blacksmith.
The Chinese leads the horse up to a
framework composed Of two posts and
horizontal beam. Then with long
pole attached to the horses head he
runs around the other post and thus
binds him between the two. The rope
is then brought around the body and
over the beam to which both body and
head are firmly secured. and the horse
is thus unable to move sideways or
lie down. The smith then puts q
small stool under the foot to be shod
and thus trims the foot and drives the
shoe.
