HOW TO SAVE YOUR EYES.


By sitting in such position as will
allow the light to fall obliquely over the
shoulder while reading or sewing.
BY not using the eyes for such purposes
by an artificial light, especially gas light.
BY avoiding the special use Of the eyes
in the morning before breakfast.
BY resting them for half minute or
so, while reading or sewing, or looking at
things at distance, or up to the sky, re-
lief is Immediately felt by so doing.
Never pick any collected matter from
the cyelashes or corners of the eyes with
the finger nails; rather moisten it and
rub it away carefully with the ball Of the
finger. - ftvEtH
Keep the feet warm, and never cool
the head suddenly, under penalty Of in
hammation of the eyes.
Ii is better to bathe the eyes on the
outside at night than in the morning, but
it will not do harm to b.lthe them both
morning aud evening rii &
The moment the eye feels tired, the
moment you are conscious of an effort to
read or sew, lay aside the book or needle
and take walk for an hour, or employ
yourself in some active exercise not re-
quiring the close use of the eyes.

all Italy to obedience" was the reply.
"What then?" asked Cyneas.
"To pass over into Sicily" answered
Pyrrhus, "and then oil the Sicilians must
be our subjects" t.t.,..
