PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.


Troubles Caused by Unsupported Eye
Strain and Cured by Wearing Glasses.
Bye strain should be the first thought
suggested by any complaint Of headache,
for, according to a writer in the Medical
Times, in our day and civilization, it is by
Tar the most common cause Of that symp-
tom. Headache often comes on whenever
the eyes are used, and il absent when the
eyes have had proper season of rest The
occasions of most severe requirement in
the direction of eye work are tho doing Of
anything requiring accurate near vision,
or travelling, shopping, attendance at pub
lie gatherings, which entail more use Of
the eyes than the patient is at the time
conscious of, and often under unfavorable
conditions.
The writer was formerly subject to
constant headache whenever confined to
the house, and regarded it as caused by
breathing vitiated air until it was quite
cured by the correction Of his hyperopic
astigmatjsm. Many persons have the
same idea as to the causation of the head
aches they always experience when attend
ing the theatre or other place OF public
amusement and which are really due to
eye strain. Others ascribs these head
aches and those experienced in travelling
and shopping, to exhaustion. This is
nearer the truth, only they COMMONLY have
in mind u condition of general exhaustion,
whereas it is largely one of local exhaus-
ton Of the special nervous apparatus con
cerned in the act Of seeing.
Congestion, irritahility or Inflammation
of the eyes aud their appcndages should
always suggest the suspicion of eye strain.
No case of chronic Inflammation of the
margins Of the lids, or of recurring con
Junctlyitis, or repeated sites, has justice
done to it until it has been carefully in
vestigated for eye strain.
The authority quoted calls attention also
10 car sickness in connection with eye
strain, having had eight or nine cases OF
this kind, all Of which were relieved by
glasses. A strange thing with reference to
eye strain is that it often exists to an OK
cePti0Hal degree without showing any
symptoms in the eye The patient will
often say that the eyes are perfectly good
and have never caused any irritation

A Good Nynah for the Teeth.

Good dentists recommend lime water ms
an excellent anti-acid for the teeth. After
brushing the teeth as usual the mouth is
simply riusei out with the lime water. 1t
may be made by pouring aquart Of cold
water on two tablcspOOnfuls Of unslaGzed
lime. Let it stand few minutes, then
bottle aud cork, and when il il clear it is
ready for use. A glass fruit jar is a CON

used for the purpose is ruined for other
use, as the lime clouds The glass.

Numerous desertions from the army are

SNAP SHOTS.

A process for photographing in colors
has been patented in London, and the
company is about to begin business.
a photographed who developed dry
plate which had been exposed six years be-
fore was surprised to obtain a transparent
print of great beauty, which gave some in
dications of natural colors.
Professor Charcot, the eminent lecturer
on nervous disesses in Paris, has succeeded
in obtaining enlarged photographs of the
brain under various conditions of the dis
ease, a result of great scientific value.
Owing to the short time left to prepare
exhibits for the proposed exhibition by the
Society of Amateur Photographers at the
New York American Institute fair, it has
been decided to abandon the undertaking,
which will give members more time to get
exhibits ready for the Boston joint exhibit
ton in 1892.
Mr. George A. Nelson, of Lowell. Mass,
was one of the artists who was successful
enough to have his work accepted at the
International exhibition at Vienna, which
was held under the charge of club of
amateurs in that city. Over 400 tried to
get their work accepted, but many well
known photographers failed.

A Luxurious Shoulder Pillow, Pretty
Draperies, Table Centcrs, Etc.
Among new home luxuries are the
shoulder pillows, which give comfort, COM
bined with bit of decoration, to high,
hard backed chair. The pillows are made
eight to ten inches wide and twelve to fif-
teen in length, according to the size of the
chair on which they are to be used. The
material may be printed silk, china silk,
plush or velvet embroidered or plain.
Silkoline is one of the prettiest of inexpen-
sive materials. These pillows are used in
pairs by setting small gilt rings in the
edges and lacing them together with rib
bons.
The washable cretonnes make good bed
draperies and spreads. Colored Marseilles
in lovely tints is comparatively inexpen-
sive and furnishes very attractive bed
spreads.
The prevailing fashion of dresses with no
convenient pocket gives value to oddly
shaped little bags for carrying the hand
kerchief,which may be attached to the belt
or hung from the arm.
A durable table center is made of plain
white linen powdered over with any small
flower, such as the daisy, forgetmenot or
violet, worked in washing silk
Sachets of all kinds are made very large
now, with double pockets and one corner
turned down. A good brocade embroidered
with the name i'll gold is pretty. Cord is
most in use to finish off the edges.

Preserving Flowers and Forms.

Take very fine sand, wash it perfectly
clean and wh6G dry sift it through q fine
sieve into pan. When the sand is deep
enough to hold the flowers in an upright
position, take some more sifted sand and
carefully cover them. a spoon is Il good
thing to take for this as it fills in every
chink ard Granny without breaking or
bending the leaves. When the pan is
filled solidly, leave the flowers to dry for
several days. 1t is a good plan to warm
the sand in the oven before using it, as the
flowers will then dry more thoroughly. In
taking the sand off, great care must be
taken not to break the leaves, as they are
now dry and brittle. Pansies preserved in
this way will keep their shape and bril-
liancy of color all winter according to the
New York Tribune, and many other flow
ers can be equally successfully treated
anything, in fact, where the full pressure
of the sand comes on both sides of the leaf,
otherwise they will shrivel To fill in
flowers with cuplike shapes it is better to
lay them on the sand and with a small
spoon ill in and around each flower Ferns
when preserved i'll this way have a more
natural look than when pressed, and the
maidenhair fern looks almost as well as
when it is freshly gathered.
