1t is a remarkable fact that sunstgokes

lii reading the book or paper should be
held at distance OF from ten to fifteen
inches from the eyes. The readers position
should be such that the light may fall On
the book and not oD the eyes. The light
Itself should be sufficient. Nothing isIo
injurious to the eyes as poor light in read
ing.
Next to sunlight the ineandescent IisLt
gives the best illumination for reading, and
all notions Of the injurious effect on the eyes
nf the electric light are erroneous.
Nearly everybody reads while riding i'll
the cars. This should be avoided as the
jolting and shading of the train causes a
great strain to the eyes and will surely in
iure the sight,
At the first symptom of near-sighedness
spectacles should be worn. There is a gleat
deel of popular prejuaice again spectacles,
bnt there are two good reasons why they
skould be worn and only two. One is that
we may see better and the other that strain
on the eyes may be relieved.
The near-sighted child should wear spec
tacles, because they are the best preventive
against increase of near-sightedness, and
also because he loses great part of his
education in not being able to see more than
few feet away.
The vast majority Of people who wear
glasses can see as well without them. They
use them to avoid constant strain on the
eyes. The act Of localization is a muscular
one and uses M nervous energy.
Rhe over-sighted eye, iu which the focus
comes behind the rctna, has to perform
this muscular act continually. The results
are headache, irritabilty and nausea. The
only remedy in such cases is to wear glasses.
For eyes in healthy state there is but
one safe wash-pure cold water. When the
eye-lids are infamed, the best lotion is a
weak solution Of salt and water. Never
apply poultices to the eyes OF use eye
waters" without the advice Of physician.
