Everybody knows that there are no
snakes in Ireland, but very few know
that Newfoundland is just like Ireland
In that respect, and there Is n 10 record
that Newfoundland had a st. Patrick
to drive the snakes off either. There
is plenty Of game in Newfoundland,
but not a reptile of any kind-snake.
toad, frog, lizard or even turtle. An
other queer thing about the province Is
that while some wild animals are
abundant there no one ever saw a
squirrel, porcupine, GUS or lynx any
where within it's boundaries. This is
all the more singular because the ad-
joining provinces of Nova Scotia and
Cape Breton have all these animals
and many kinds Of snakes and other
reptiles.

HORSE WHISPERERS.
Secret Methods That Were Used by
Irish Animal I'M

Secret Methods That Were Used By
Irish Animal Tanners.
Ireland, as well as the far north OF
Scotland, had-possibly still has-its
horse whisperers," though the broth
erings'' which give such permanence
and gcniality to the Scottish pillow
mans whisper never seem to have ex-
listed in the sister island. Irish "whis-
perers" have been lonely men, whose
secret has generally died with them,
says tine Golden Penny.
The most famous "~whisperer" Of
modern times was James Sullivan OF
Dunhallow. No horse was ever
brought to Sullivan which he did NOT
permanently tame. Ordinarily FESTIVE
animals he would master in a few min
utes. FOR exceptionally vicious horses
he took about half an hour, during
which time he shut the stable door and
forbade any one to open 1t till he gave
the signal. When the door was opened
the horse was still lying down and
Sullivan by his side, playing with him
as a child does with a puppy. There
vas no tying up of the foreleg or any
other visible means of coercion. How
his ~ascendency was obtained no one
could tell.
A successor of Sullivan named
O'Hara became almost equally famous.
and was often urged to explain what
was the secret of his influence. But
O'Hara treated his questioners as SAM
son did the Philistines, deluding them
with various and unsatisfactory an
swers. At M time, for instance, he
said the secret lay In rocking the
horse-putting one hand firmly on his
crupper, and with the other graspin9
his shoulder and hen swaying him 70
and fro, gently at first and gradually
increasing the motion till you throhx,
him. At another time he protested that
his plan was to bite the animals ear.
Both these are well known Jockey
tricks. The most stubborn horse, they
say, will be wholly subdued by being
thrown twice or thrice, and IL you can
get a vicious horses ear between your
teeth and bite hard you are his master
and he your submissive slave from that
time forward. AS to the idea hat the
"whisperer" works by kindness, IL
stands to reason that that method sup
poses the entire education OF the anil
NAL to be in your hands. II you have
only half an hour to do your work in.
you must show overmastering power
as well as kindly feelings. A horse
whose temper has been spoiled by
chronic bad treatment looks on all men
alike as tyrants and bullies.

Religion. Training of Japanese.


Little OF no Importance is attached
to the religious training of japanese
children. Whether the parents be
Buddhists or Shintoists it matters not,
for In either case the children rarely
take any part i'll the religious life of
their parents or elders, and indeed
usually grow up in blissful ignorance
as to what it is all about. True, they
may occasionally be taken to the tenn
pie and taught to rub their palms to-
gether, clap thrice and incline their
heads toward the shrine as they toss
their offering of rim through the wood
en- grating of the huge money till.
They may have some vague notion
that there is something m~eritorious in
all this, but nothing more, although
every Japanese home has a latticed
niche, or kamidana, dedicated to the
service of the household Lares and
Penates, or Daikoku and Ebisu as they
appear in Japan.
