Prescott, the historian, in consequence OF
disorder of the nerve of the eye, wrote
every word of his historicals without pen
or ink. as he could not see when the pen
WAS out of ink, or from any other cause
failed to make mark. lie used an agate
stylus on carbonated paper, the lines and
edges of the paper being indicated by brass
wires III wooden frame.
Crawford, the sculptor, the habit of whose
life had been to read in reclining posi-.
ton, lost one eye, and soon died from the
formation Of a malignant canccrous tumor
behind the ball, which pushed it out on the
cheek.
There are many affections Of tho eyes
which are radically incurable. Persons OF
scrofulous constitutions, without any spe'
cial local manifestations of it, often deter
mine the disease to the eye by some erro-
neous habit or practice, and it remains
there for life. 1t is useful, therefore, to
know some of the causes which, by debili-
tating tho eye, invite desease to it or rem
der it incapable of resisting adverse intlu
enGes.
Avoid reading by candle or any other ar.
tilicial light.
Reading by twilight ought never to be
indulged in. safe rule is--never read
after sundOwn or before sunrise.
Do not allow yourself to read moment
in any reclining position, whether in bed
or on sofa.
The practice of reading while on horse
back, or in any vehicle i'll motion on wheels,
is most perniciOus.
Reading on steam or sail vessels should
not be largely indulged in, because the

Never attempt to look at the sun while

some kind; even very bright moon should
not be long gazed at.
furious to the sight.
A sudden change between bright light
and darkness is always perniciOus.
If looking at minute objects, relieve the
eyes frequently by turning them to some.
thing in the distance.
Let the light, whether natural or artificial
fall on the page from behind, a little to one
side.
Every parent should peremptorily forbid
all sewing by candle or gas light, especially
Of dark material.
If the eyes are matted together after
sleeping the most instantaneous and agree
aLle solvent in nature is the application Of
the saliva with the finger, before opening
the eye. Never pick it off with the inger-
rails, but wash il off with the ball Of the
fingers, in quite warm water.
Never bathe or open the eyes in cold wa
ter. 1t always is the safest, best and most
agreeable to use warm water for that pur.
