A WORD ABOUT Wells.


In Nine Ga ~ oct of Gen They Are Dc
cn,cdly harmful.
Fashion is queen, but if her subjects
could always remember to DC rcusible
in their dcvotion., the burdens imposed
by her would often be much lighter,
and vet the spirit Of the law wonld be
obcycd. This is especially true just
now in the matter of wells.
1t can hardly be doubted that the
necessity, if such it was. that invented
veii, brought forth what under some
circumstances may be beneficial; but
it is exceedingly doubtful ifsuch praise
can be bestowedupon the articles worn
at the present time,
On a windy and dusty day wells of u
proper sort may be worn with no little
comfort They not only serve to keep
the wearcr from am appearance of un-
tidiness, but are of benefit in protect
ing the eyes from PARTICLES of dust.
On clustering winter day, when
one is riding "A heavy veil, in the form
of a scarf, bound around the forehead
and over the ears. with the ends well
about the neck and chin, is nearly rs
useful, without being SO cumbersome,
as the old fashioned muller.
But all this does not excuse the risk
of injury to the eyes incurred by the
continual obscurity of the sight caused
by wearing the fanciful fabrics now in
vogue.
OF the different styles of such fabrics,
it is probable that the watered designs
are the most harmful, though it is hard
to conceive how they can he much
worse than the heavily figured de-
signs
We are all aware of the intimate re-
lation between the general nervous
system and the special senses. Indeed,
the relation of this most important
sense of sight to certain organic
changes in the body has been the sub
jcct of much recent investigation. 1t
is probable that the feeling of being
"sight tired, which we are all liable
to experience, very nearly approaches
at times to a special disease.
But whether we understand such
matters or not, it behoovcs all of us to
appreciate the gift of sight sufficiently
not to abuse it by needlessly strainiug
