HORSE WHlsPERERs.
Secret Methods That Were Used by
Irish Animal Trainers.

Irish Animal Trainers.
Ireland, as well as the far north
of Scotland, had--possibly still has
its ''horse whisperers," though
the "brotaerings" which give such
Permanence and geniality to the
Scottish ''plowman's whisper" never
seem to have existed in the sister is
land. Irish ''whisperers" have been
lonely men, whose secret has gener-
ally died with them. l1
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 minutes. For exceptionally
vicious horses he took about half an
hour, during which time he shut the
stable door and forbade any one to
open it 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 child
does with a puppy. There was no
tying up OF the foreleg or any other
visible means of coercion. How his
'asccndaneyi was obtained no one
could tell. nj anivorn
no1A successor Sullivan, named
'0Hara, became almost equally a.
nous and was often urged to ee1-
plain what was the secret of his in
fiuence. Y But O'Hara treated his
questioners as Samson did the Phil
istines, deluding them with various
and unsatisfactory answerso2 At one
time, for instance, he said the secret
lay in rocking" the horse-sputting
one hand firmly on his crupper and
with the other grasping his shoulder
and then swaying him to and fro,
gently at first and gradually increas-
ing the motion till YOU throw him.
At another time ne protested that
his plan was to bite the animals ear.
Both these are well known jockey
tricks. The most stubborn horse,
they say, willebe wholly subdued by
being thrown twice or thrice, and If
you can get a vicious horses ear be-
tween your teeth and bite hard YOU
are his Inaster and he your submits
sive slave from that time forward.
AS to the idea that the "whisperer'
works by kiBdness, il stands to rea-
son that that method supposes the
entire education of the animal to
be in your hands, II you have only
half an hour to do your work in you
must show tovermastering power as
well as kindly feelings. % A horse
whose temper has been spoiled by
chronic bad treatment looks on all
men slike-as tyrants and bulles.-

The Omen chnreh

The Rev. W. s. Rainsford Of New
York holds that a church door should
hardly ever be closed. 'T was not al.

confessed recently. "but four-year-old
girl settled my mind on that point. I
was walking with her. listening to her
childish prattle, when we passed a
tightly closed and locked church. 4
