1 DIR. HAIL ON FAILING ETEsIGHF'
When tie sight is beginning to fail,
1 the ewes should he favored as much az
] possible. This can be done:
l. Bv sitting In such position as VIII
allow the light TO fan upon the page, or
| sewing, obliQuely over tie shoulder.
.. By not using the eyes for such pur-
poses by an artificial light, or before sun
! rise, or after sunset.
! 3. BY avoiding the special use OF the
| ewes In the morning before breakfast.
! T. BY resting them for half a momehs
or 50 while reading OF sewing or iookihk.
at small objects; by looking at Things a.
a distance or in the sky reilef Is lhiuisf
diate in so doing.
5. Never pick any collected matter
J from The eyelashes or corners OF the eyes
with the finger nails; rather molsten Il
with the saliva, and rub IL away Win
Z the nail of the finger.
g. Frequently pass the balls OF the nm
/ gers over the closed eyelids TOWARDS the
nose: this carries Off AN excess OF water
into the nose itself by means OF the llt-
tie canal which leads into the nOstrils
! from each inner corner of the eye, which
canal tends to close up, in consequence
of the slightest Inflammation which at
tends weakness Of the eye.
7. Keep yOur feet always dry ana
warm, 50 as to keep any excess Of blood
from the other end OF the body.
8. Use eve glasses at first, carried IN
the vest pocket, attached to a guard for
they are instantly adjusted TO the eye
with very little trouble whereas II
common spectacles are used, such pro
cess is required TO get them ready, that
10 save the trouble the eyes are often
strained to answer the purpose.
9. Wash the eyes abundantly. every
morning. If cold wHter be used, let IL
be ilapped against the closed eye with
the fingers of the righthand, notetrikiug
hard against the balls Of the eye. But
it would seem a better plan 10 open the
eye in pure blood warm water,
because warm water is more
penetrating than cold; 1t dissolves
more readily any hardened matter that
may he about the lids, and Is more
soothing and more natural.
10. The moment the eyes feel tired, the
very moment you are conscious OF an
effort TO read or sew, lay aside the book
OF needle, and take a walk for an hourl
or employ yourself in some active ex-.
ercise not requiring the close use Of
the ewes.

How A Man FEELS WITH HIS HEAD
OFF.--It is considered on all sides that
the body does not feel one instant after
decapitation, for the brain being the seat
Of sensation to the whole frame through
the medium Of the spinal marrow, every
part of the body beneath the Joint at
which the latter NAV be divided must be
deprived of feeling. But it by no means
follows that the head Is deprived Of sem
sation Immediately after decapitation,
nor that it maYnot retain It's conscious
ness, and like the head of the Irish
Knight who was killed by Saladin in the
Holy War, get up and declare that It was
never cut OF by so sharp cimitar before
nor, like that Of the assassin Legare,
swear roundly at the exeeutiOner for not
keeping a keeneT axe but it is quite i'm
nOssible that il may be troubled with
very serious reflections upon the irreyo-
cability Of its fate, and the awfulness of
its deprivation. In support of this un-
uleasant theory many facts are adduced,
with grave vouchers for their authen-
ticity. Among Others is the unfortunate
Queen of Scots, whose lips continued to
move in prayer for at least a quarter Of
an hour after the eXecutiOner had per-
formed his duties. Wilt states that
having put his mouth TO the ear of de-
capitated criminals head, and called him
by name, the eyes turned to the side
from whence the voice came; and the
fact is attested by Fontanelle, MOgore,
Guillotine, Nauche and Aldint. On the
word murder being called in the case
Of a criminal executed for that crime at
Co5lentz, the half closed eyes opened
wide with an expression Of reproach on
those who stood around.
