HYGIENE OF THE EYES
A Few Simple Rules for the Preserva.
ton of the Sight
The General Tone Of the Nervous System
Has Much to Do With the
Eyesight

A few simple rules carefully obeyed will
do much to preserve the eyes in health.
Light and color in rooms are important.
The walls are best finished In single tint
Windows should open directly upon the
outer air, and light Is better when they
are close together, not separated by much
wall space, not distributed Light should
be abundant but not dazzling. It should
never come from in front, nor should sun
light fall upon work or on the printed
page. Never read or sew in the twilight
after An exhausting fever nor before
breakfast. Look up frequently when al
work and fix the eyes upon some distano
object. Break up the stretch of wall by
pictures that have good perspective.
These rest the eye, as does looking out of
o window.
When at work on minute objects, rise
occasionally, take deep Inspirations with
the mouth closed, stretch the body erect,
throw the arms backward and forward and
step to an open window or out into the
open air for moment. Two desks Of diff.
ferent heights are valuable for a student
or writer, one to stand by and the other to
sit by. Plenty Of open air exercise ia es.
sential to good eyesight.
The general tone of the nervous system
has much to do with the eyesight. Pro-
1onged or excessive study frequently has
pain or poor vision as symptom. The use
of tobacco may bring about defective VI
sion, and alcohol sometimes destroys ID
utterly, owing to nerve Inflammation that
1t sets up. City life, with shut in streets
and narrow outlook, favors the production
of errors in vision. When looking at dis
tant objects, the normal eye Is at rest. To
see near by muscular effort is required.
This effort, when constant, changes the
shape of the eyeban. After the eighteenth
or twentieth year parts Of the eye that
earlier showed signs Of bullying or becom
ing nearsighted may acquire new strength,
and those who escape myopia up to this
time are usually free from 1t after that.
The children of nearsighted parents are in
special danger. They require constant
care. 1t is best to have all childrens eyes
examined for defects when they are 10
years old.
Nearsight and color blindness are bar
riers to the army and navy, to certain fine
and mechanic arts and to many industrial
pursuits. Their early recognition saves
time and money and often prevents the
Encouragement of defeat.
Ounces Of prevention are better than
tons Of cure. There are but few forms of
partial or total blindness that were not at
one time the reverse Of hopeless. In view
of this fact the duty of parents and guard
fans is clearly manifest. Ignorance must
be replaced by knowledge oarelessness BY
enlightened forethought. Precautions in
the way OF type, light, color and rest and
exercise, together with occasional calls up
on the ooulist, will probably secure faiA
eyesight for ife.-Outlook

SOME TRUTHS IN ZADKIEL
His Almanac Has Made Some Startling
Predictions
We Are Willing to Admit Not Always
Possible to Reason About

There Is now in England publication
known as Zadkiel's Almanac, that has
been for 40 years favorite in English
households of the fairly intelligent class.
as it is too abstruse for the ignorant &c
understand. Not less than 200, 600 copies
are sold yearly, and this is purely history
of the coming year, based on the researches
of judicial astrology.
These calculations are made by means
Of the sun, moon and stars-the signs Of
the zodiac and the various aspects and re.
lations Of the planets. In astrology ma
tions, like individuals, are subject to and
arc governed by the planets. The greater
part Of England lies under the cardinal
sign Aries but Gemini rules the west o.
England and the United States.
Some Of Zadkiel's predictions are curl.
GUS enough to puzzle intelligent persons.
For instance, in 1886 occurs this passage
"Shocks Of earthquakes in the seventy
seventh degree Of west longitude may be
looked for. Great thunderstorms and
waves Of intense heat will pass over the
States. There will be great excitement in
America" In 1886 shocks of earthquake
reached North and South Carolina on the
night of Aug. 81, between longitude "a
many lives being lost.
In 1868 Zadkiel put forth the following
prediction as to the future of Louis Napo.
leon:
Let him not dream of lasting honors,
power or prosperity He shall found nd
dynasty, he shall wear no durable crown,
but in the midst of deeds Of blood and
slaughter, with affrighted Europe trem-
bling beneath the weight of his daring
martial hosts, he descends beneath the
heavy hand of fate and falls to rise no
more.'
1t is undoubtedly true that in three hor-
oscopes taken by different men entirely
independent of each other bloody ending
was predicted for the emperor, but only
Zadkiel foretold the extinction of the dy-
nasty.
In the horoscope Of Lincoln and Garfield
the malific planets Mars and Saturn ruled
their house of life. When their end came,
and in a marked degree the history and
career of the Bourbon family correspondent
with the state of the heavens at their
births, according to the theories Of astrol-
ogy.
A belief that human events are affected
by the stars was accepted by many Of the
ablest minds. Wallenstein died at the very
moment when he thought the danger past
He had the astrologer' reading of the stars
In his hand as he was struck down
Goethe begins his autobiography with
his Nativity"
"On the 29th Of August 1749, at mid
day as the clock struck 10, came into the
world at -the-Main. My hor-
osoope was propitious. The sun stood in
the signs of the Virgin and had oulminat-
cd for the day. Jupiter and Venus looked
on him with a friendly eye, and Mercury
not adversely, while Saturn and Mars kept
themselves Indifferent. The moon alone,
just full, exerted the power Of her ref1ec-
ton all the more, as she had then reached
her planetary hour. She opposed herself
therefore to my birth, which could not be
accomplished until the hour was passed.

than 81, 900. We receive great many
niokels from the elevated roads. Yesterday
they brought in s16, 900 in cent pieces to
be exchanged, and last Friday they brought
in s6S, 600 in the same way. They come in
every day. 1t shows the number Of nickels
in circulation on the road when you think
of the quantity also given out in ex-
change"
Mr.. Haff was not idle as he talked, and
a continuous string Of callers at the little
window at the front Of the department re-
ceived pennies and niokels in varying
amounts.
"You see, people are willing to give
gold for "copper"" he said as he dropped a
gold $50 piece into the box and handed
out two bags Of pennies.
"Oh yes; people bring very small sums
to be redeemed. have had brought in

ing it had come from away up town. Pos

great many people think because the
money is old we will give more than it's
face value. People have heard that the
pennies Of 1890 were mixed with gold and
expect to get price on them greater than
their original valuation. One man told
me that he had penny Of that date as
say cS1 anu Az Wub WOIOA VI CCAISs lAoy
think the cent pieces on which the word
cents was omitted should bring more
money. 1t is the same way with fractional
currency.
"There; that was case in question.
That man had some old scrip, and he
wouldn't believe me when told him 1t
was not worth more than its face value.
He has como off to inquire.
sit Is estimated that there Is SIS, 900, 600
small scrip unredeemed. Probably $s, O00,-
900 Of 1t has been destroyed. Here comes
that man back.
"He has gone off again to count his
money. There is 1885. I counted 1t
carefully, but ho was not satisfied"
Then for o third time the stranger ap-
peared and departed for good with his up
to date coins.
"The brokers those people go to-" oon-
tinued Mr.. Half, twill only give them %
per cent of the face value Of their currency.
They bring it to us and expect to make q
little something for their trouble. Many
people are annoyed because we will not re-
deem mutilated coins. 1t Is government
money, they say, and the government
should be responsible for it. But when the
government makes 1t a punishable offense
to mutilate coin it is not going to give
good money for it. New York Times.

These good aspects, which the astro1oger
managed subsequently to reckon very au-
spioious for me, may have been the cause
Of my preservation, for through the I'M
kindness Of the midwife came into the
world as dead, and only after various efforts
was enabled to see the light"
But this, Of course, is dry humor.
In all horoscopes the happy life and for
tune of the subject depends mainly on the
friendly aspects of Venus and Jupiter,
while the signs of the zodiac give strength
and disposition.
The writer can recall here in this city a
remarkable case in which the nativity OF
two people was taken and the curious re-
suit that followed. About 1888 man
named Hague practiced astrology in this
city. He was q man of learning and much
respected having many distinguished PEG.
pie for his patrons. He made the nativity
for two infants, cousins and although the
time Of their birth varied only eight hours
their destinies were widely divided. One
promised to be favorite Of fortune, the
others fate was marked by trouble, ap-
parently coming about his majority. One
prospered as soon as he entered life; the
other was wild and reckless, went to Cali
fornia and fell in brawl in his twenty
second year, but he was, ouriously enough,
tho one on whose birth fortune was pre-
sumed to shine, and his cousin falsifled
his sinister predictions by prospecting be-
yond tho usual lot of man.
There is scarcely an Intelligent human
being who does not recognize the element
called "luck" in shaping our destinies.
There is q family in Philadelphia that
has been rich since 1880, and the third
generation is now basking in luxuries
won for them by "1uke' as pronounced
as winning in the lottery. There was a
firm here Of three partners, doing large
western business. Two Of them were ex-
cellent business men, the other mere
dead weight, and his partners resolved to
get rid of him. So they dissolved the firm,
and taking the cash and bills receivable
made him take his share in 100 acres of
land in the northern part of the town site
of Cincinnati He kicked, but was bullied
into compliance. So they made new
partnership, went on getting richer and
richer, while the other partner was max
ing poor living trucking on his city
land. Thon times changed. Lots in Gin
cinnati began to SELL the rich partners
failed and died poor, while their victim
grew into a millionaire No forethought
or sagacity could have under the circum-
stances brought about such result.

BlacKheart, Herring, Sandhater and
Smudge are all queer names for preachers
to own, but perhaps Gracebucket is the
oldest of all. Goodvessel Is evidently a
relic of Puritan times, but who can ex-
plain Deathhunter and Devilsfoot? All
these names are owned by men who have
once lived in Chicago If they do not now,
