Care of the Ewes.

Prescott, the historian, in consequence
of disorder of the nerve of the eye,
wrote every one 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 a mark. He used
agate stylus on carbonated paper, the
lines and edges of the paper being indica-
ted by brass wires in wooden frame.
Crawford, the sculptor, the habit of
whose life had been to read in reclin,-
ing position, lost one eye and soon died
from the formation of malignant cam
cerous tumor behind the ball, which push
ed it out on the cheek.
There are many affections of the eyes
which are radically ;ncurable. Persons
of scrofulous constitutions, without any
special local manifestations of it, often de-
termine the disease to the eye by some
erroneous habit or practice, and it re-
mains there for life 1t is useful, there
fore, to know some of the causes which,
by debiitating the eye, invite disease to
it, or render it incapable of resisting ad-
verse circumstances.
Avoid reading by candle or any other
artificial light. f
Reading by twilight ought newell to be-
INDUCED in. a safe rule is, never read
after shutdown or before sunrise.
Do not allow yourself to read a mo-
meut in any reclining position, whether
in bed or on a sofa.
The practice of reading while on horse
back, or in any vehicle in motion by
wheels is most penlcious.
Reading on steam or sail vessels should
not be largely INDUCED in, because the
slightest motion of the page or your body
alters the focal point and requires pain
full straining effort TO readjust it,
Never attempt to look at the sun while
shining, unless through a colored glass of
some kind ; even Il very bright moon
should not long be gazed at.
The glare of the sun on water is very
injurious to the sight.
A sudden change between bright light
and darkness is always pernicious.
In looking at minute objects relieve
the eyes frequently by turning them to
something in the distance.
Every parent should peremptorily for
did all sewing by candle or gaslight, es-
pecalIy of dark material.
If the eyes are matted together after
sleeping, the mostiustaataneous and agree
able solvent in nature is the application
of the saliva with the finger before open
ing the eye, Never pick it off with the
| finger nail, but wash it off with the bali
of the fingers in quite warm water.
Never bathe or open the eyes in cold
water. 1t always is the safest, best and
most agreeable to use warm water for that
purpose over seventy degrees.

STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY, PA, NOVEMBER 8, 1871

finished his obeisance to the priest, and
the ceremony was over, there was loud
burst Of laughter aud at the same moment
the day broke, aud Tokutaro found him
self alone, in the middle of large moor
At hrst, in his surprise, he thought that
1t was all a dream, and was much annoy
ed at having been tricked by the foxes
He then passed his hand over his head, and d
found that he was shaved quite bald
There was nothing for it but to get up,
wrap handkerchief round his head, and
60 back to the place where his friends
were assembled.
"Hallo, Tokutaro SO you've come back
Well, how about the foxes 2"
Really gentlemen, replied he bowling,
81 am quite ashamed to appear before
you"
Then he told them the whole story,
and when had finished pulled off the
kerchief, and showed his bald pate
"What capital joke! p shouted his
listeners, and, amid roars of laughter,
claimed the bet of fish and wine 1t was
duly paid but Tokutaro never allowed
his hair to grow again, and renounced the
world, and became a priest under the
name of Sainen.
There are great many stories told of
men being shaved by the foxes but this
story came under the personal observation
of Mr.. Shominsai, teacher Of the city Of
Yedo, during holiday trip which he took
to the country where the event occurred !;
and I* have recorded it 10 the very self
same words in which he told it to me.

The Wood Saving Club.

The Lockport Journal contains the fol
lowing practical suggestion
Now that the croquet and base ball
season will ere long be over, we would
suggest, in order that the muscle devcl-
oping process may not stop, or that the
amount developed by the summers exer-
else may not lie dormant during the long
winter months, that the base ball ath-
letics turn their attention to saving up
the wood piles of widows and sick folks
during the winter. The exercise is fully
as healthful, is not so violent, dangerous
nor tiresome as base ball, and we are sure
the results will crafty curious public
fully as much, aud we would prefer to
give the 'score" of a woodsawing class to
that of base ball club, in our columns.
What say you, gents? Physicians re-
commend young ladies to form walking
clubs. This is matter in which steps
should be taken.
