PROTECTION OF THE EYES.

Avoid reading by the pickering light of the
fire
Avoid straining the eyes by reading in the
twilight.
Hold the bool, at your focus; il that begins
to get far away get spectacles.
Those ladies' who not only write, but sew,
should not attempt the black seam by night.
The bedroom blinds should be red or gray,
and the head OF the bed should be toward the
window.
Get pair Of glasses for reading with, and,
if necessary, a long distance pair for use out
Of doors.
Authors should have blacl, ruled paper in
stead of blue. and should never strain the eyes
by reading too fine types.
Remember that bad spectacles are most in
furious to the eyes, and that good and well
chosen ones are a decided luxury.
When you come to an age that suggests the
wearing Of glasses let no false modesty pre-
vent you from getting pair. If you have
only one eye an eye glass will do. Otherwise
it is folly.
Reading in bed Is injurious as RUE. IL
must DO admitted, however, that in cases OF
slesplessness, when the mind is inclined to
ramble over thousand thoughts minute,
reading steadies tho thoughts and conduces
to sleep.
Have a reading lamp for night use. N. B.
In reading, the light should DO on the book
or paper and the eyes in the shade II you
have no reading lamp, turn your back to the
light and you may read without danger to
the eyes.
Sit erect in your chair when reading, and
as erect when writing as possible II you
bend downward you not only gorge the eyes
with blood, but the brain as well, and both
suffer The same rule should apply TO the
u,e Of the microscope. Get one that will en-
able you to look at things horizontally not
alyays vertically.
