Mr, Van Horne bad time to talk of Canada and the United States, and more particularly as to how traffic would be effected by the Mee Kinley acts stopping trade between the countries. I aaked him if this would hurt the Canadian roads and cut them off from the traffic they enjoyed. "Not at all," said he. "It's just what the Canadian roads want. It will give us a long haul instead of a short one." And to explain hie view he pointed to the map. "You see, Canada is a little fringe of people along the Northern bor- der of the United States. Befora the McKinley Bill went into effect the goods which Canada sent -into the United States were sent direct to the horder and across the line. It gave us a very short haul for these goods. But now the McKinley bill shuts these goods out from crossing the border, and they must find an outlet at the ocean for their foreign markets. The result is, we will haul these goods from Ontario clear to Halifax and Quebec, instead of to the nearest American border point. It's the hest thing that could have happened to the rail- roads." Aside from its effect on railways, Mr. Van Horne was asked as to its general effect on Canada. It was his idea that Canada could get along all right withont the American markets, in fact was better off without them. Can- ada's best market was at home,sup. plying the wants of her own people, and the surplus could readily be ex- ported to remote foreign countries. Eggs, cheese, butter, etc., which had all been shut out of the United States, could easily be marketed in England. By thus looking to its own interests, Canada could get along without depending on the Unit ed States. :..�t, II al I la B,L 2f, v i ETI N G HORSES. 'rhe blanketing of horeest, like: everything else, retluirttsto be done with discretion, in Order to derive full lronelit, Hays a .cot respondent from across the border linea, from our observation and way of think- ing wetly errant are oentruitted even in this simple ;latter, hence a few reworks upon it are not out of place. There is a wouderful attractive - nese about a trice, clean, aleek coat on a horse. It is only second to flesh in filling the eye and increas- ing the admiration of inexpert oh- aervsra. It must further be con- fessed that few good judgesoflhorses are not altogether uninfluenced by iia alluring effects in forming an estimate of all that goes to make up value in horseflesh. Judicious blanketing has a groat influence iu improving a horse's coat. Exhibitors of horses at our fall shows experience a great deal of trouble in getting their animals' coats iu the .condition they would like, In our use of blankets in the ' early autumn we should be guided by the temperature ; not only should they he ward at nights, but or cool Jaye their u.ee should not be neglect- ed. Cure, however, has to be taken to avoid ever keeping animals so wartn ad to bWeat. Sweating Un- der the blanket not only makes the horse uncomfortable, but it destroys the condition of She coat. The cautious use of blankets in the early autumn, and of course con- tinued, has considerable effect in checking the nndur. heavinees of the coat, and that tendency to profuse sweating so noticable in October, and, -it fact, fop the remainder of the e inter, if the precaution of blanket- ing is not taken early itt 1 he season. Some horses that are inclined to have very heavy coats will not have the growth of the coat sufficiently checked even by careful blanketing, and such animals, if they have to perform much fast work, are greatly benefitted by clipping about the first of November, or Tater if convenient. Unfortunately many people do not allow their horses to derive ful! benefit of clipping, on account of not using a sufficiently liberal amount of covering ; a clipped horse should have at least two warns blankets on hint, and more are sometimes of benefit, partic.ula, ly during cold spell.. A groat mistake is frequently made in epplying a horse's covering while he is wet with sweat or from any other cause. The hest plan to pursue is to dry the animal witli'.- cloths, taking care to avoid cold Grafts, If it is convenient to rub him, a blanket may he applied to prevent drilling while the evapor-• stiou of the skin is taking place, but (hie should be rentovod as soon as it is thoroughly dampened with steals, and another dry one put on. Before putting on the first blanket the skin sltould,be rubbed dry, if possible,- Exchange. MANKIND'S THIRD EYE, "There is a kindiof lizard found in Virginia and Maryland that has three eyes -one of them on the top of its head," said a man of ;•ciente the other day to the representative of the Star. " It is generally sups posed that they are very rare, but, on the contrary, they are quite com- mon. You may find plenty of there if you take the trouble to look. They are green and about three inches long." " Are there any other animals in the world that Kaye three eyes?" " Lots. For example, you your- self have a third eye, though it hoe become rudimentary through (lis - use. "Where is it?" 1(Juet in the ]riddle of your head, as nearly as its location can be de- scribed offhand. Anatomists know it as the pineal gland, but it is ac• tuallyan eye that has become rudi- mentary, Place the tip of your fin- ger just above the bridge of your nose and on the level with 'your eyes. Directly behind that point about five inches, at the base of tie brain, is this gland 1 -peak of, which the ancients used to imagine was the center of consciousness and the seat of the soul. Its structure hal lost all resemblance to that of an eye, but you can find it retaining more of its original development in some turtles end other reptiles. With them this gland has still, though it, the middle of the head, an actual 0.) e socket, an optic nerve connecting with the visual tract of the brain, and even the pigmentary inner coat, the object of which in all eyes is to absorb light. There is no retiree but it is an eye for all that. In the case of the lizard I mentioned this pineal eye actually appears at the top of the head and is useful for seeing with. • -Many of our readers will re- gret to learn of the serious illness of Mrs. Havill, of Concession street, Galt. Mrs. Havill was apparently in her usual health up to Saturday afternoon, when she was stricken with paralysis, and very little hope is entertained of her recovery.
