of the body and the work be allowed TO lie
in the light under the shade, which will
protect the eyes from the glare OF the flame.
II no shade Is used, the back should be
turned to the source OF light, which ought
to fall over the left shoulder. The same
rule applies ia tho management Of day
light. In this case the light should come
from behind aud slightly above, and fall
directly on the work, whence il is reflected
to the eye. 1t should never fall directly in
the face. The light in the room during
sleep is also not without lis influence. As
rule, the room duiing sleeping hours
should be dark and, in particular, care
should be taken to avoid sleeping opposite
a window where, on opening the eyes in
the morning, food Of strong light will fall
on them. Even the strongest eyes are, nf-
ter the repose Of the night, more or less
sensitive to the impression of intense light.
Tho eyes must have time TO accustom
themselves to the stimulus. Attention
should be called to the injurious effects that
sometimes follow reading on railroad cars.
On account of the unsteadinosS of the page,

ceedingly trying TO the eyes, and should

length Of time. During cOnvalesceuce from

Wages for Homework Fifty Years
Ago.


An elderly lady was relating tho other
day in our hearing her experience in going
out to do homework in her younger days.
She engaged with a lady in Columbia 10 do
general housework, no price being agreed
upon, and entered upon her duties at once.
About the first thing TO he done outside The
regular homework was 10 make soap-hav-
ing assistance in putting up the leach, the
rest Of the work to make barrel of soap
she performed herself Killing hogs came
next in order, she trying the lard, taking
care of the skins and helping 10 make sau,
sages. Then came the butchering OF beef,
the tripe of which of course must he saved,
and this she was required to dress alone.
She spun the warp for thirty yards of all
wool carpet, aud in tue mean time the lady
was sick, and she Cfficialed as nurse and
did the washing, ironing, and cook ing for
the family. Al the end OF four weeks she
was 10 return home and her bill was called
for. Row, gentle reader, what do you think
she charged for doing the amount of work
as narrated above7 The first week seventy
i've cents, The second, cigh,y-ihree cents,
and the last weeks, one dollar each max
ing three dollars and fifty-eight cents for
four weeks service. The lady thought the
price decidedly too high, and she threw off
twenty-five cents, leaving three dollars and
thiTty-three cents for four of the hardest
weeks labor ever put upon woman to
perform, and yet she never struck for high
er wages, but served her time faithfully,
and is to-day hale. hearty old lady, fast
approaching her four-score years, able 10

The HADITs OF BLACK BAss.-Seth
Green writes TO the Forest and Stream
There are some kinds of fish that cast their
spawn, and the parents never look amer
them again. Nature has provided the
young Of this family of fishes with yoke
sack that furnishes them with food from
seven to forty-tive days, at the end of
which time they need food and know
enough to look for it. The above family
of fish do not hatch one fish in every thou
sand that are cast in the natural way, and
should be Matched artifeially, and, if they
were not, they would soon run out. But
other kinds of fish that make their nests
cast their spawn and take care of their
young two or three weeks after they are
Matched. There is no need of Matching
them arti6ciallyi if you did, they would
not live, as they would need a mothers
care for some days ailer they were matched.
They are Matched with scarcely any sack,
and need food. They clnsler around the
m other, and she takes them whore lhe food

There are, perhaps, more individuals
who ascribe their weakness of sight to a
use Of their eyes under an insp fficent arti-
fetal illumination than to any other cause.
In great many instances this may not be
strictly true, but there can be no doubt that
faulty artificial light is one of the most pro-
ductive causes of a eeGtain class of injuries
to which the eye car be exposed. The two
sources of trouble with the ordinary artiti-
cial lights are-tirst, that they are not pure
white, and secondly, that they are unsteady.
The first defect is found in all artificial
lights except the lime, electric and magne-
stun lights; the second, especially in can
dies and gas. The yellowness is, in meas
ure, counteracted by using, in the case of
lamps and gas, chimneys of violet or blue
tint, and the Pickering of the gas may be
obviated largely by employing an Argand
burner. All things considered, German
student lamp furnishes the most satisfac-
tory light. The next best is gas with an
Argand burner. The ehimneys of both
may, as above suggested be advantageous
ly off light blue tint. The position of the
light in relation to the body is of great i'm
pOrtance. II shades used on a lamp or
burner lit should. by preference, be Of

"ls THIS SEAT OCCUPIED 9"-An old, but
vigorous looking gentleman, seemingly
from the rural districts, got into car and
walked its full length without receiving an
invitation TO sill down. Approaching one
gentleman who had whole bench to him
self he asked, "Is this seat occupied ?"
"Ye5, sir, ii is impertinently replied the

dered agricnlturisi, 81 will keep this seat

proprietor withdrew himself haughtily 10
one end and looked insulted. Amer a while
the train got in motion, and still nobody
came to claim the seat, wh0reupon the
deep-chested agriculturist turned and said;
"Slr, when you told me that this seat was

plain language-"I never sit near liar if
can avoid IT. would rather stand up."
Then appealing to another party he said /:

he got his seat, and that the original pro-
prietor thought that there was something
wrong about our social system.-Baltimor
