Do not FACE TEE LIoHr WHEN AT
WoRx.-Statistics kept by oculists
employed in inhrmaries for eye dis.
ease, have shown that the habit OF
some persons in facing O window
from which the light falls directly
on the work Injuries tho eyes in the
end. The best way is to work with
q side light, or II the work needs a
strong illumiuation, so that 1t 10
necessary TO have the working table
before the window, the lower por-
ton Of the latter should be covered
with q screen. 80 as to have q top
light alone, which does not shiue in
the eyes when the head is slightly
bent over and downward toward the
work. In tho schools in Germany
this matter has already been attend
cd 10 aud the rule adopted to have
all seats and tables so arranged that
the pupils never face the window .,
but only have side lights from the
left and as light simultaneously
thrown from two sides gives an in
reference OF shadows, it has been
strictly forbidden 10 build school
rooms with windows on both sides,
such illumination having also prov
ed 10 be injurious to the eyes OF the
pupils.

such emergencies it is necessary tc
somewhat infringe upon private rights fol
the public good. Some hardships must
be suffered by individuals that the
general welfare be advanced. In all
cases these suffering individuals should
be compensated as far as possible, and the
officers should go no farther than is &C tu-
ally demanded, but in as far as they are
required to go they must be supported
by the public sentiment and as much of
the public money as is necessary to be
expended. The exercise of a sound dis
cretion by intelligent officials will prevent
either the spread of disease by careless
ness on the one hand or the causing of a
panic by unnecessary restrictions on the
other We believe our officials are men
of such intelligence as to avoid serious
mistake in either direction.

THE 10000.
New and Costly Specimens on Ex-
hibitiOn To. morrow.

Some time ago ship load of animals ar
rived at New York, among them being
many a rare and costly speciman. The
Geological Garden Manager at once dis
patched Mr.. Frank j. Thompson to pur-
chase for the Garden such specimens as
would be of interest to our citizens. He has
succeeded admirably and returned yester-
day, having brought with him several
thousand dollars worth of specimens.
The entire lot will be on exhibition to-
morrow Sunday and embraces two beau
tiful giratles, male and female, one a year
and half old, and the other two years.
The male stands about fourteen feet high,
and the female about eleven. They are
from Central Africa, and are considered the
finest pair in the country at the present
time. They require the greatest care imag-
Unable, and it is rare matter to successfully
carry them through our winters, as they are
keenly sensitive to cold.
For the present they will be on exhibi-
ton in the buifalo-house near the Mai n
street car entrance. The cost of these
giratIes was near $1,000. The others that
were procured consist of two jaguars, worth
$500, and are very fine specimens, known tC
scientific men as felis onca They will be
on exhibition in the carnivora There are
also two weeper capuchins (cebus capuci
mus, tw@@ white-throated capuchins (cebus
hypoleucus), and two brown capuchinS
(cebus fatuellus), or, in ordinary language
ring tailed monkeys. They are in the mon
key-house. There is a great female kanga
roo (macropus giganteus), two Stanley
cranes (tetrapteryx paradisea(, said to be
the finest ever exhibited and the only one!
in this country. One king vulture (gypa

THERE is no yellow fever panic in this
city and nothing to cause one, but there
is everything to make the officials most
vigilant in taking all proper precautions
against the disease. The reputation of
this city for healthfulness, and our prox-
unity to the suffering Southern cities will
make Cincinnati an asylum for large
proportion of those who come North to
escape the scourge. Of those who come
some will be attacked with the disease
after arriving here, but it has been
demonstrated over and over again that
the scourge is not inclined to spread in
this latitude if the necessary precaution
is exercised. The officers are entitled to
the cordial support of all in their efforts
in behalf of the health of our people and
the sanitary reputation of the city. In
