SpectacleS for Horses.

A correspondent of the Manchester
(England) Chroaicle tells the readers Of
that paper some interesting circum-I
stances in connection with "good grey
stced in his own possession" He came
to the conclusion that this equine friend
of his was short sighted. He couldn't
see carrot two yards off," he tells us.
SO he took the quadruped to an oculist
living in the neighborhood, who made
the necessary inspection and certified
that the horse had No. 7 eye, AID re-
quired concave glasses. The concare:
glasses thus indicated were obtained and
bucklcd on to the head-stall "The,
horse seemed little bit surprised" he
says, :when first put them on him, but
his amazcment rapidly gave way to
demonstrations of the keenest pleasure.
H. now stands all the morning looking
over the haIf-door of his stable with his
spcctacles on, gazing around him with an
air of scdate enjoyment

continues the veracious narrator, she.
capers about as risky as kitten; his
manner is altogether changed from his
former timidity, and he has got over q
bad habit of shying which once troubled
him." A week ago or two, however, he
turned the animal out to pasture for a
few days without his specs, and he at
once appeared to be uneasy and uncom-
Portable. All day he hung about the
gate leading into the meadow, whinny-
ing in a paintive minor key, until his
master, seeing what was the trouble, sent
nm to the stable for the head stall. As soon
as the spectacles were placed upon, his
nose, he WIS so glad that he rubbed his
masters shoulder with his nose, then
kicked up his heels and danced down to
the pasture in paroxyism of deli ght.
