INIURISe THE HoRsK's EYES 1t has
been observed thai. of all domestic ami
mails the horse Is most afflicted with
diseases of the eve. Some of these ail-
meuts are hereditary and from un-
known causes, Others-and these are
of painful frequency-are not inheri-
ted. and their origin may be readily
traced. OF this latter class Of causes
NAV be mentioned insufficient or bad
arrangement of light in stables; blink
ers high racks for feeding; ammonia
fumes in the stalls, and the whip. Al
though the eye of the horse is well ad-
apted for seeing at night, yet he Is not
a noctural animal, therefore the stable
,hould have daylight freely admitted
TO IL. A dimlylighted stable imposes
on the horse sudden changing from
twilight TO broad sunlight, which can
not fail to weaken the sight. II the
windows are arranged on one side or
the other of q stall, the horses head
will be directed mostly to the side from
which the light comes one eye will be
more ir the shade than the other, con-
sequently both eyes will be strained
from being exposed to unequal lght.
Ii the window Is directly In front OF
tho stall, glare of light is directed
toward the eyes with binding effect,
which is very injurious. Probably the
best arrangement for lighting stables
is by means eff skylight or windows
placed near the ceiling. Much has
been said against blinkers, yet their
use continues to considerable extent.
IL the ewes of the horse. like those Of
man. were directed forward, biinkers
might prove uncomfortable but not
Injurious. The range OF vision In the
horse is much greater than in man oy
limiting this range of vision and allow
ing il q forward direction only-whlch
is not according to nature-the mus
cIes Of the eyes become strained and
their strength impaired. Ii Is not
reasonable 10 suppose that the timid,
nervous horse, that starts at every un-
usual sight or sound, would be In
spired with more confidence If allowed
10 see all there was TO be seen than II
straining the eyes painfully to see OBJ
iects terrible to him just back OF the
blinksrs. The position horses head
has to assume when feeding from
high rack is the one most favorable Tor
chaff or other hurtful matter from the
hay to fall into the eyes. The most Sc
rious injury commonly arising from
this cause is from the boards OF grain.
The sharp little hooks or prickless on
these attach themselves to the eye In
such a way that the water from the
tear-gland can not wash out the boards ;
inflammation follows, and even the

The veiocirede and the Barrel.

1t was horrid, horrid boy rushing
madly along the sidewalk upon a vile
veloclpede. Pedestrians respectfully
stood out of the way, even while they
inwardly invoked maledictiOns upon
the boy, for no living man can collide
with velocipede and not receive
grievous bodily harm. And we stood
afar off and wished that some evil
might happen the boy.
And a gigantic man came along the
sidewalk rolling before him cask so
heavy that it made the ground shake
as if train were passing over it. Now,
the boy who had spread havoc among
the pedestrians bore straight down
upon the gigantic man, and the man
smiled grimly and there was joy in our
hearts because of what was about to
happen.
The gigantic man rolled the barrel
along with easy motion, but it was
the motion Of solid immensity, OF irre-
sistible force, of sn earthquake, of 8
moving mountain. And the valiant
boy rode furiously against it.
The barrel continued to roll steadil y
onward. The collision did not even
cause it to vibrate. The velocipede did
not roll on. 1t stopped, and stopped
forever. 1t was shivered into a hun.
dred vile atoms, and its rider precipi-
tated into that mud with which he hat
so often bedaubed others. And he ut
tered howl of anguish which thrilled
every fibre of our souls with joy. "St
you wouldn't get out Of the way o.
it?" grimly observed the gigantic man
"Ah, hs!-so you wouldn't get out o.
the way of it?" And the boy wept
And each of lis tears was to us more
precious than the balm of Gilead or the
roses Of Gulistan.

Some time ago Mr.. Morey, OF Lon
don, devised an apparatus for register
ing the steps, which he called an odo-
graph. 1t consists Of small cylinder,
rotating by means Of clock-work In Its
interior, and Of pen which marks on
the cylinder, and is raised at each step
by an impulse communicated by Dali
of air beneath the sole. Observations
have been made on q number OF young
soldiers. 1t was ascertained that the
step is longer in going up hill than
down hill. 1t is shorter when a bur-
den is earned: longer with low than
high heeled boots; longer when the
sole is thick and prolonged little than
when 1t is short and flexible. 1t thus
appears that the heel may with benefit
be almost indefniteIy lowered, while it
is disadvantageous to prolong the sole
of the boot beyond a certain limit, or
to give it an absolute rigidity. Some
influences which lengthen the step
lessen its frequency; SO in going up
the hill the step becomes at the same
time longer and less frequent. In
walking On level ground, the length of
the step and its frequency are always
proportional; the quicker the walk the
longer the step. Nature here proves
the folly of high heel in most practi-
cal manner; and the objection to them
In men is equally applicable to ladies; ;
and If they could only see themselves
as they totter along perched on high
heels and walking as if stepping on
egg shells, their ludicrous appearance
would at once stop the fashion. Any
one accustomed to country lite and
long walks on hills, must have felt that
terrible leg weariness which a days
shopping with a lady entails. The
slow irregular walk, the frequent
pauses, and the difficulty of taking
short steps with proper balance, are
trials well-known TO men. Without a
a geod-shsped, low heeled boot, no
lady. however pretty her foot or grace
full her carriage, can walk beeomingly.
with ease to herself, and proper flex-
ion of the muscles of the feet and legs.
Ii alr the ricket ankles come from the
heels being too high to form proper
steady base for the weight of the body,
and the narrow pointed toes prevent
their proper expansion and use. Make

fer terribly if their shoes are cramped
and do not allow the foot to expand.
Much more might be written of the ac-
companying ills of tight and high-heel-
ed boots, but as long as women will
bear the pain so as to appear taller and
have tiny feet, SO long will they do
violence to natures gift. Legs and
feet were given US for use to exercise
the body upon. In fact, SO cramped
up and stilted has fashion made the

HeRsEs' CoLLARs.-I am surprised
that the suffering which horses endure
from lll-fitting collars has not been
made a subject of complaint. The facI
ls, there Is no greater or more unnO-
ticed cause of torture to the horse than
an ill-fitting collar. The trouble is
not so much attributable to ignorant
harness makers, but rather to the other
cause-that of changing harness from
one horse TO another, regardless of the
fit of the collar, the most importaa
iEem in the whole harness, particular
ly in draft work. If this suggestion
had been offered in New York, where
[ have worked till within the last few
months, could refer to four out of ev-
cry five harness-makers where driver
could depend on getting a perfectly
fitting coliar-and no doubt the same
is the case here-yet the evil exists in
New. FORK - ss great an extent as any
whore. The causes OF this great trou-
Die are, in car and stage lines, ignor-
ance and carelessness on the part of
superintehdents; changing harness
under the above mentioned conditions
by grocery, milk, and express men.
In large wholesale dry goods, hard
ware, and other commercial houses,
fhe trouble Is principally caused by
bad repairs in refining and stuffing
collars, the most particular of all har-
ness joDblng. Ii the following condi-
tiOns were observed, ninety per cent
of the suffering would be avoided /:
First, a collar sROuld tit like q comfort
able shoe; second, the traces in draft
should be of equal length; third a col
lar should tit close to the wItrer, with
room for the open hand TO pass over
the gullet; fourth, the bearing should
be full and free from Jumps In the fill
ing, When these conditions fail in
giving horse comfort at work-whIch
1 have yet to hear a good practical
harnessmaker should be applied to and
the trouble will be remedled at once
