The Causes OF DeteriOrated Eye-Sight.

The causes to which this deterioration
of eye-sight has been attributed are al
legged to be cross lights from opposite
windows, light shining directly on the
face, insufficient light, small types, and
to the position of the desk, forcing the
schOler to bend over and bring the eyes
too close to the book or writing paper,
etc.
But, were all these defects remedied,
the integrity of the eye would not be re-
stored nor its deterioration prevented.
L he chief causes of the evil would still
remain. These are the colors of the pa
per and ink. White paper and black
ink are running the eYe-sight of all
reading nations. The "rays of the
sum-" says Lord Bacon, "are reflected
by white body, and are absorbed by a
black one" No one dissents from this
opinion; but, despite these indications
of nature and of philosophy, we print
our books and write our letters in direct
opposition to the suggestions of optical
science.
When we read book printed in the
existing mode, we do not see the letters
which, being black, are non-retleCtive.
The shapes reach the retina, but they
are not received by a spontaneous,
direct action of that organ. The white
surface of the paper is reflected, but the
letters are detected only by discrimin-
alive effort of the optic nerves. This
effort annoys the nerves, and when long
continued, eXhausts their susceptibility.
The human eye can not long sustain
the broad glare of white surface with
out injury. The author of Spanish
Vistas," in Harper'S Magazine, says of
Cartagena that "blind people seem to
be numerous there, fact which may
be owing to the excessive dazzle of the
sunlight and the absence of verdure."
Mr.. Seward, in his tour around the
world, observed that "in Egypt ophthal-
mia is universal" attributing it to the
same Excessive dazzle" of the wide
areas of white sand; and the British
soldiers, in the late campaign in that
country, exhibited symptoms of the
same disease. In the Smithsonian Re-
port for 1877 it is stated, in paper on
Color Blindness, that an. Chevreul
has produced 1920 distinguishable
tints of elementary colors, from which
the paper-manufacturers could select
colors more agreeable to the eye than
the dazzling white, so weakening and
decorating to the nerves of that delicate
organ. Samuel Yor%e At Lee, IN
Popular Science Monthly.

Canned Food.

The danger from noxious acids in
canned fruit, meat and vegetables is not
altogether fanciful. Careful expert
ments in England have revealed the
presence of small amounts of the metal
dissolved in the juice of the contents OF
the can. The proportion was small in
most cases, but it is sometimes so great
as to produce nausea and all the symp-
toms of poisoning. When the juice or
fruit betrays a metallic taste it is the
result of dissolved metal. The amount
may be so small as to be harmless, but
the danger is in swallowing repeated
doses of the noxious substance day after
day in families addicted to the constant
use of canned food. Tin is the cheapest
material for canning, and this leads to
its universal employment; but if once
the public conceive a repugnance to it
some safer material will have to be
adopted. The canning process is a
modern device of incalculable value;
since it furnishes to every part of the
world at a cheap price the desirable
fruits of all other regions, and materi-
ally diversifies the character of living.
Glass is more expensive than tin, but it
has the merit of being absolutely free
from the defects of the cheaper mate
rial, and if it were to come into general
use as substitute it might be furnished
at smaller cost.-Ss Louis Republt-
can.

HOME AND FARM.

Give the fowls coal ashes or sand
to dust in if the ground is frozen. IL
not, spade it up occasionally.-N T.
HcrdIi.
House plants need fresh air as often
as it can be given them during the win

pleasant DAYS, but the air should not
be permitted to strike the plants
directly unless the day is very warm
The Household.
A Michigan farmer who had long
been troubled by a cathode swamp on
his land, which he could not easily
drain. relieved the excess of moisture by
sinkinga shaft down to a gravel bed,
into which the surface water soaks
away. There are probably many
swamps which this plan of drainage
would help.-N Y. Eraminer.
A shoe bag i, very handy article
for bedroom. A tasteful one can be
made of some pretty chintz. Cut a
piece half yard wide and two-thirds of
yard long, bind it with scarlet braid,
and put on smaller piece for the
pockets, stitching it in three divisions,
the smallest in the center for slippers.
The most convenient place for this arli-
Gle is to nail it on the inside of the
closet door.-DetrOU Post.
The value of an apiary depends on
the strength of the colonies, and not the
number of them. This is so well UNI
derstood by practical apiarists that they
count only on those colonies which can
be made good and strong by honey har-
vest, and when not sufficiently SO at
that time are doubled up two or three
in one. From the surplus honey comes
the profit, and colonies that will not
produce surplus are dead capital

Pudding made of cracked wheat is
very agreeable and nourishing: To one
quart of sweet milk allow nearly half a
cupful of cracked wheat; put it in a
pudding dish and bake slowly for two
hours, stirring it several times If you
choose to do so YOU can add raisins and
a little cinnamon for flavoring but most
people prefer it well sailed, and to eat
it with little cream and sugar. This
is nice both warm and cold.-N. J.

A colts feet are sound and well
formed before he is shod, and the ills of
the horse feet are occasioned by shoe
ing and cured by running barefoot.
Most ailments, such as SPAWN, ring
bone, etc, can be traced to bad shoe
ing. A barefoot horse will travel freer,
keeping his footing better and show less

therefore was sure guarantee of per-

and substitute ano her just like it in its

Beware OF the Burberry.

let pass as true all that has been
claimed for the barberry as hedge
plant. But, as biologists have long
shown, this mischievous shrub has one
disadvantage which would counterbal-
anca its alleged merits though they were
increased hundredfold. By the time
its leaves are well formed there begin
to appear upon them swellings and
whitish blotches about the size of pin
head, which soon develop into minute
cups full of bright yellow powder.
This stage of the pest is known as the
cluster cup or Pcidium stage, and this
yellow powder consists OF an almost in
finite number of minute cells, the spores.
These spores, light as dust, are waited
by the wind to the wheat, oats and
sometimes other grasses, lodging upon
which they terminate and soon produce
the elongated lines of reddish orange
spores too familiar to farmers as the
cred rust -puccjnta graminiS.
Though but few spores from the
barberrv reach the whe field, the cred
rust developed from them spreads with
enormous rapidity by means of the d s.
persion and growth OF the orange-col-
ored spores, multiplying so rapidly that
the wheat plants always have their Vi
tally greatly impaired, and are fire.
quently destroyed before reaching ma
turity. In the late summer, the stubble
of field which has Ieen attacked by
rust will be found to have many
elongated lines of black spores upon it,
These two-celled spores remain on the
stubble unframed by the winters snow
and ice, terminate early in spring,
sending out from each cell branched
filament, each branch of which ends in
minute enlargement Called a sporid-
ium). These sporidia, excessively
small and light, are easily broken Oft
and transported by the wind in any
direction. When they lodge upon the
proper plant, which in this case Is the
barberry, they produce again the stage
with which the cycle started, the cluster
cup.
The moral is obvious. The man who
ornaments his yard with barberry
bushes, or hedges his fields with them,
is providing one of the two needful
plants for the propagation of trust, "
and he need not be astonished if, during
suitable summer, his promising field
he is not only laying up rust for himself
against the day of harvest, but he forces
the same destruction upon his helpless
neighbors for miles around. We can
not control the wind nor can we prevent
the barberry spores from terminating
on the wheat, but we can cease (or not
begin) furnishing an appropriate host
for the rust fungus. To be sure, wheat
rust is propagated from year to year by
spores which may adhere to the grains,
but there is an easy preventive for such
dissemination by soaking the grain in a
solution OF blue vitriol. 1t is certainly
to be hoped that no one will be so fool
ish for himself and so inconsiderate of
his neighbors as to plant barberry
hedges.-C. r. Barnes, Purdue Unicer-
Sity.

Daughter Slavery.

Perhaps the most complete form oil
slavery to be seen in New York is
slavery to ones daughters. All litera-
ture has paid homage to woman, but IN
our AGE practical Ii does it.
The New York wealthy man has q
daughter or two. He pays but little at
tention to them while they are children,
but it suddenly occurs to him that they
are growing beautiful. His wife is sure
of this fact. and she begins TO dress the
girls while they are still children in all
the elegance Of PrincesSes. They are
sent to dancing-school, to riding-school,
to the finest seminary, and put In the
opera-box, allowed to know what is GO
ing on at all the theaters, and carried
to the watering-places, and before they
know anything of their own country
they are sent to Europe, where, as my
friend, the Consul, who has just arrived,
saws, he has seen girls not seventeen
wears of age provided with wardrobes OF
fifteen to thirty silk dresses, with hose
of varegatcd silk, diamonds in their
ears, and everything that life ought to
Weld toward It's termination they are
satisfied with upon the very threshold.
With fine food and wine their complex
ions become elegant. They are seldom
away from the dentists week having
their teeth fixed. The most cosmopoii-
tan society is introduced to them, and
they look down with Indifference upon
the bows of their own age; or, If they
marry by an act of nature, soon upbraid
their husbands for not keeping up the
luxury their parents spoiled them with.
A friend who has spent many years
in Eurore tells me that the freedom al
lowed daughters by American parents Is
the establishment and horror of that
continent. American girls are known
wherever they appear by their sumptu-
Gus attire on the streets. their delicate
shoes, the alteration paid them by theil
parents, and they are brought up beau
tlful enough and worthless enough to be
at once the temptation and the ruin Of
any young man who may take them tc
his arms.-N. T. Letter.
