THE CARE OF THE EYEs.-In a book by
Dr. Henry G. Angel, of Boston, on the care
of the eyes, it is stated that every miopia, es
pecially in the young, has tendency to in
crease when the degree becomes high, result
ing symptoms of irritation often appear, and
then there is not only greater or less visual
disability, but the sufferer lives constantly
threatened with some of the most serious &C.
cidents that can befall the eye.
The author gives some excellent rules for
relieving or preventing weak sight, which
may be summarized as follows:
1st Rest the eyes for few minutes when
the sight becomes in the least painful, blurred
or indistinct.
2. Have sufficient light never sit facing
it; let it come from behind or from one side.
8. Never read in horse or steam cars.
4. Never read when lying down.
5. Do not read much during convalescence
from illness.
6. The general health should be maintained
by good diet, air, exercise, amusement and a
proper restriction of the hours Of hard work.
THE FAMILY GARDEN.-The garden is the
most profitable part of the farm. Every far.
mer should have good garden. 1t may be
located in the field and cultivated by the
plow as other crops: The situation should be
a very gentle inclination to the east or south
east, that it may have all the advantages Of
the morning sun, which insures an early ma
turing of the vegetables The best soils are
of loamy friable character, and should be
highly enriched The size should be proper.
toned to the family. A small garden we'll
manured and cultivated, with suitable rota-
ton of crops, will yield more pleasure and
profit than a large one. A thick coat Of
hog. pen or stable manure will enrich and
warm the soil better than any other applica-
tion of manure. Charcoal renders the soil
light and friable and gives it additional
warmth for early crops. Wood ashes, leached
or unleached, may be used as top dressing
with decided benefit to growing vegetables.
How TO CARVE A TURKEy.-Insert the
fork over the highest part of the breast bone
remove the wings, with not too much breast
adhering; then after cutting the trusses which
retain the ends of the drumsticks within the
cavity of the pelvis, separate the drumstick
from the thigh on the bird, before removing
the latter, (the joint is easy to hit in this
way J then slice off all the breast on both
sides in thin broad slices. When all the
breast has been carefully sliced off, remove
the collar bone, (the pulling-bone," so called),
then the two "hug me close" bones, (scapulas,) }
break the backbone across at the narrowest
part, (turning the carcass } separate the neck
from the breast by cutting across the ribs on
each side; next separate the back into three
pieces, dividing off both side bones from the
backbone proper; then your turkey is entirely
and scientifically carved:
How TO WASH GLAss.-Never use soap to
glass. Wash all wine glasses and tumblers
in hot water and soda, and in cold water.
You should wash ground glass globes or any
ground glass in lather Of soap and water
and soda with brush, and rinse in cold wa
ter, and dry them Immediately out of cold
water: do not let them drain. Ground glass
is very apt to get black look from exposure,
and therefore all ground glass, such as ice
plates for instance, that are not in daily use,
should each be wrapped in soft paper so that
it NAV keep in color If ground glass has
become discolored, the following directions
will cure it. Wash the glass in soap and wa.
ter and then pour small quantity OF spirits
of salts into saucer, dip sponge or rag in.
to it, and wash the glass, then plunge it into
cold water and then into hot water; dry it.
