Ireland, was a Christian, fair to
look upon and prayerful. In those
days the religion Of the Druids
prevailed and then it seems that
he formed the plan to convert the
Irish to the Christian RELIGION.
Patrick remained a prisoner for
six years--some say I'VE years
and then made his escape. Then
he retired to prepare for the min
istry.
1t seems probable that Patrick
received his theological training at
the famous monastery OF Candid
Casa, the withern or White house,
built by St. Ninan in $50, where
now is Whitehorn, in Wigtonshire,
Scotland. There it is possible
that he was ordained deacon and
priest.
There is something strange in
this.
The Hibernia and Caledonia
churches were bound together. II
Hibernia owes her Patrick a Gale
donia, the latter is indebted to
Hibernia for St. Colombo, who
founded the Ionic church., yet the
two churches were essentially
different. The cross and tonsure
were of different shape, it's Easter
had a different day and the Jewish
sabbath was observed as Sunday

ANCIENT TALES OF

OF Ireland and His Task of
Freeing the Island of
Evil Spirits.

was taken to Ireland while a boy
kidnapped by pirates, one account
runs, and sold as a slave to the
king OF Dalaradia- and that for
many years he was a missionary in
ireland, being ordained "A priest
and bishop, meeting with so much
success that he has attained the
rank OF patron saint and apostle OF
that country.
HIS real name was Cuccat, or
Succath, which mean brave in
battle. Patricius was the Roman
appellative by which he was known
some say he assumed it on his
ordination.
While many fabulous stories are
related on St. Patrick, notably the
common legend as to his having
bahished the toads and frogs out
oil the land, a great deal is known
OF him, considering the early age
IN which he lived. His autobio-
graphical Confession" and his
Epistle to Coroticus," which have
come down to us, are unqucstion-
ably genuine.
On March II, 425, the dav now
sacred to his memory, St. Patrick
founded his first church at Saul,
near Strangtord Lough, County
Down, Ulster. In all he founded
sos churches and baptized with his
own hands $4,000 persons, besides
a multitude Of monks and nuns.

monks and nuns. After he had
been engaged about 20 years in
the missionary work he is said to
have fixed his see at Armagh about
the year 545. He died at a place
called Saul, near Downpatrick,
and his relics were preserved at
that place down to the period oil
the reformation. 1t is said that

age OF no years or upward.
But it is in the deliverancc OF
Ireland from the pest OF the rep
tiles that St. Patrick is most gen.
orally known. lust how the work
was done depends upon the
authority, and as many versions of
the story exist as there are hist
orlanS. 1t is a fact, however,
that there are not serpents of any
kind in that country, and according
to tradition, it vas from the hill OF
Howth that the good saint issued
his mandate to the reptiles to de-
part from Erin's shores.
The chief of the serpents," the
oldest and most venomous of all,
objected to being thus exiled, and
sought refuge on the banks Of
Lough Neagh, where he took up
his winter quarters. The saint
came on him one day when his
snakeship was asleep, and, provid-
ing a heavy box, with the strongest
lock and key obtainable, and COM
tortably fitted up, he induced the
serpent to enter; butsthe latter in
sisted that a bit OF his tail should

piteously, and asked: "When will

The Worship Of serpsnts.

The small town of Werda, in the
kingdom Of Dahomey, is celebrated for
its temple Of serpents," long building
In which the priests keep upward Of a
thousand serpents Of all sizes, which
they feed with the birds and frogs
brought to them as offerings by the
natives.
These serpents, many Of them Of
enormous size may be seen hanging
from the beams across the ceiling,
with their heads pointing downward
and in all sorts Of strange contortions.
The priests make the small serpents go
through various evolutions by lightly
touching them with a rod, but they do
not venture to touch the largest ones,
some Of which are large enough to in
fold bullock In their coils.
II often happens that some of these
serpents make their way out Of the
temple into the town, and the priests
have the greatest difficulty in coaxing
them back. To kill a serpent intention
ally Is a crime punished with death,
and If European were to kill one the
authority of the king himself would
scarcely suffice to save his life. ANY
one killing a serpent unintentionally
must inform the priest of what has
occurred and go through the course of
publication which takes place once a
year.

Of the political wheel. OF one lord Of
the admiralty he told delighted house
Of commons how, receiving a report Of
disaster to a ship couched in technical
phrase, he wrote a reply demonstrating
with the officer for his use of bad Ian
guage. Another civilian lord, looking
over chart and observing that one Of
his majesty's ships, homeward bound,
passed within space Of two inches
on the chart an island where cast
away sailors were sheltering, wanted
to know why 1t could not call and re-
lieve them. The admiral explained
that the two inches on the chart meant

of relieving the rose famine.

matter up and will make an effort to

Artificial Limbs,

"a manufacturer or dealer In arti-
fetal limbs who wears cork arm or
leg himself is much better equipped for
business than his competitors who are
sound" said man who uses cork
leg. "In fact, it has become a sort of
unwritten law among us to patronize
such men when possible. Sentimental
reasons may have something to do with
the case, but | guess the chief reason
is that we consider that If man can
make a limb for himself that fits like
the paper on the wall he can make
1t for others. Manufacturers Of arti.
fetal limbs know this, and frequently
you will find an advertisement like
this; The So-and-so artificial leg is
built by a man who is wearing one
and who knows from experience what
you want for comfort This is strong
argument, for it's no easy thing to get
an artificial limb that just fits. Per
