ing OF words singly and in
combination. 1t is not neces-
sary that we should be able to
pronounce them correctly; they
appeal to sight rather than to
hearing and u deaf mute may
read and understand what he
reads, with no apprehension of
Che spoken words. It is true
that from the force of habit we
think largely in words, and in
silent reading we may mentally
pronounce the words and even
eaal the organs OF speech into
partial exercise, but this is not
an essential part of the process.
But reading is sometimes
practiced with a view to com
snnnicate thought to others.
Then there should be correct
pronunciation, proper empha-

pauses and the like; in u word,
the rules of elocutiou should
be observed.

In view of these facts, is
there not, relatively, too much

and too little in what pertains

but more important for him to
grasp the thought embodied in
those words.
Our practical suggestion, to
teachers is this; strive in all
practicable ways to lead your
pupils to understand what thsy
read. In that way you will
best prepare the great majority
of them for the active duties
oflife. Those who are to become
public speakers or elocution-
lists should have special train

be given IN the public schools.

How TO PRESERVE THE EYEsIGHT.-
First cease to use the eyes for the time
being, and look away from the work when
sight becomes in the least painful, blurred
or indistinct. After perfect rest for mo-
ment, or longer, work may be resumed, to
be discontinued us before when the eyes
feel again fatigued. Second. see that the
light is sufficient, and that it falls properly
upon your work. Never sit facing il. 1t
is best that the light should fall upon the
work from above and behind. Failing
this, it may fall from the side. Never use
the eyes at twilight. Any artificial light
for the evening is good if it is brilliant
enough and steady. When artificial light
is at all painful, it is safer to read or write
only during the day. Third, never read
In the horse or steam cars. 1t requires too
great an exertion of the accommodatye
power to keep the eyes fixed on the letters
Fourth, never read while lying down; it is
too fatiguing to the accommodative power
Many tedious case of weak sight has
been traced to the pernicious habit of read
ing in bed after retiring for the night
Filth, do not read much during GONZALES
cence from illness. Before the muscular
system generally has quite recovered its
healthy tone we ought not to expect the
muscles of accommodation to bear the
continuous use to which they are subjected
in reading or writing. We cannot be sure
that the delicate muscles of the eye are in
condition to be used until the muscles
of the leg and the arm have regained their
strength and firmness. Sixth, the general
health should be maintained by good
diet, sufficient sleep, air, exercise, amuse-
ment, and II proper restriction of the hours
of hard work. Seventh, take plenty of
sleep. 1t is II sovereign balm for those
who suffer from weak sight. Retire early,
and avoid the painful evening lights. Ten
hours sleep for delicate eyes is better than
