CARE OF THE EYES.

Crawford, the celebrated sculptor, had
an iuyeterate habit of reading in re-
oIir.ine position. one eye had to be taken
out in consequence or Cancereus tumor
forming behing If, and his life has paid
the forfeit, after years of suffering, and
the expenditure OF large amount of
money.
Prescott, the historian, in consequence
of disorder of nerve, by which the
eyes were rendered useless for all writ
ing purposes, could not use a pen, as he
was unable to see when it failed 10 make
mark, for want Of ink nor could he
distinguish the lines or edges Of his pa
per; yet, with these disadvantages, he
wrote all his historiCals, using an agate
stylus on earbonated paper, being guided
as TO the lines or edges, by brass wires
drawn through a wooden frame; but,
with all these hindrances, he has made
himself one of the most readable of mod
ern historians and earned fortune be-
sides.
To avoid these, and similar caIamities,
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 in any strained position, or
while riding in railcars or carriages.
We urge upon all parents, in view Of the
many incurable eye diseases, to caution
p their ch,llren against reading by twi-
2 light, that is, not before sunrise nor after
} sunset. Ii would be greatly better mon
G to allow them 10 read or sew by any ar
2 lifcial light, but il that Is unavoidable
