Susan B. Anthony has attracted the
attention of a Saratoga gossiper, who
says; “On Sunday last she dined at the
Hotel Balmoral on Mount McGregor.
She hardly looks her sixty-nine years of

the beet known women in America. She
comes of a family every one of whom
has been prominent in public life. Two
of her brothers have been governors of
the state of Kansas, while another was
United States senator. She was born in
Massachusetts in 1820, and since 1869
has been conspicuous in various philan

ALSO
Arc Blinkers Hurtful?
When a horse is used for the saddle no
one thinks of meddling with his eyes and
we allow the animal to use them freely,
as nature has directed. But no sooner do
we put the same animal in harness than
we think ourselves found to fasten a leath
er flap over each eye so as to prevent
him from seeing objects at hiB side, and
to limit his view to those which are in
his immediate front. This is done with
the very best intentions, the object be
ing to eave him from being frightened by
startling and unwonted sights, and only
to leave a sufficiency of vision wherewith
to guide his steps. Herein, as in feeding
and stabling the horse, man judges the
animal by himself, forgetting, or rather
having failed to notice, that the eyes
of the horse are exceedingly unlike his
own.
Our eyes are set in the front of our
heads, so that if blinkers were fastened
to our temples our range of vision would
be but slightly limited. But the eyes of j
the horse are placed on the sides of the ;
head, and are rather prominent, so that 1
the animal can not only see on either
side, but by rolling his eyes backwards,
as we see in a vicious horse, can see ob-
ects almost in his immediate rear. The
effect of the blinker is both physically
and mentally injurious to the horse. In
the first place, especially when large and
brought near the eyeB, it lias the effect
of heating them and hindering the free
passage of air over them. In the next
place, it causes the eyes to be always di
rected forward, anil thus produces a
most injurious strain on the delicate
muscles. We know how painful a sen
sation is felt when we are obliged to
strain our eyes either backward or ii|>-
ward for any length of time, and the
horse suffers no less inconvenience when
it is forced to keep its eyes continually
strained forward.
The worst examples of the blinker
that I have ever seen were in the United
States, where the blinkers (or “blinders”
as they are there named) are brought so
closely together in front by means of a
strap and buckle that a mere narrow
strip, barely half an inch in width, is
left for vision. This again is done with
the best intentions, the object being to
save the animal from being affected by
Bnow-blindness. Now, the horse’s eyes
are in many respects different from onr
own, and are not affected, as is the case
with ours, by the vast expanses of daz
zling snow which are rendered even
more dazzling by the clear atmosphere «
and brilliant sunshine of America. One
of its safeguards lies in the remarkable
structure which is popularly termed the
“haw,” and scientifically the “nictitat
ing membrane.” This is a sort of third
eyelid set beneath the true eyelids, and
capable of being drawn at will over the
eyeball, thus berforming the double duty
of shielding the eye from the direct glare
of light and clearing its surface from dust
or any other foreign substance. This
membrane is seen to perfection in the
birds of prey, so that the proverbial
statement that the eagle trains itself to
gaze at the midday sun has some founda
tion in fact — Public Opinion.
