CARE or THE EYES.-Crawford, thp celebra-
ted sculptor, had an aveeFate habit Of reading
in reciined position oHe eye had 10 be taken
out in consequence OF a cancerouS tunor form
ing behind il, and his life has paid the forfeit,
after years of suffering and the expenditure OF
a large amount of money. Prescott, the hsto-
ran, in consequence OF the disorder OF nerve,
hy which the eyes were rendered useless for
all writing purposes, could not use a pen, as
/ he was unaple to see when it failed 10 make a
mark for want OF ink nor cnuld he distinguish
the lines on the edges ofhis paper yet, with
disadvantages. he wrote all his hIstDrcals using
ar agate stylus on carbonated paper, being gu-
ded as TO the lines and edges by brass wires
drawn terouah wooden frame but with all
these hndrances he has made himself one otthP
most readable of modern historians, and earned
a fortune besides. Toavoid these caamIies we
urge, upon The young especially, never TO use the
eyes BY any artificial light where nicely OF
sight is required, nor TO use them 10 any strained
position, or while riding in raicar or carriages.
We urge upon parents, n view OF the many
incurable eve diseases 10 caution their children
against reading by twilight that is not before
sunrise nor after sunset. Il would be greatly
better not 10 allow them 10 read or sew by any
artificial light but, if that is unavoidable, let
it be imperative that they cease at nine O'Clock
at night IN summer and By ten at faribesi IN
wiulpr 1t is a r1ost inpxcusabIe folly, and
will sooner or later bring its punishment, 10
read or sew by gas or lamp, or candlelighi,
and then sleep after daylight next morning as
habit. 70 persons CT all ages it is'a most IN
urious practice.-Eatl'S Journal Of Heaith.
