Beauty and Hygiene.
CONCERNING THE EYES.

CONCERNING THE EYES.
Harpers Bazaar
To preserve the sight unimpaired, as
well as the beauty Of the eyes, the rules
of hygiene should be strictly observed.
Too strong a light and profound and
long continued darkness both predis-
pose the eye to various maladdes, some
Of them very serious. Especially are
sudden transitions from darkness to
light and the reverse, injurious to the
eyes. The pupil of the eye expands in
the darkness, and If it be suddenly ex-
posed to a bright light, contraction
not taking place readily, paralysis of
the retina, with consequent blindness,
may ensue. The sudden transition from
light to darkness is attended with less
serious but no less certainly injurious
consequences. The reflection Of the light
on the snow or sand or any brilliant
surface, predominance Of glar4ng or
OF dark colorS in the rooms where much
of the time is spent, looking long al
rapidly moving objects, are all injur-
ious to the sight. Soft tones are both
most pleasing and most beneficial to
the eye. Green is the color most favor
able to the eye, as it exercises the mus
cles moderately without fatiguing
them, while black or very dark colors
maintain them in state of inactivity
L LC p1OlOHScu use u TIE eyes, anu
especially in an artificial light, is very
hurtful to them, and the few minutes
rest which it is necessary to give them
occasionally to avoid over-fatigue is a
trifling loss of time compared with the
time gained during which they will re-
main serviceable.
On awakening in the morning the
eyes should not be exposed suddenly
to bright light. A few moments should
be allowed to elapse to accustom them
to the halflight of the bedroom before
drawing up the blinds and admitting
the full light of day. The habit of rub
bling the eyes in the morning, or at any
other time, Is attended with obviously
bad consequences unnecessary to speci
fly.
Too much sleep and too little sleep
are both alike injurious to the eyes,
the former facilitating them through
the prolonged inaction in which it keeps
them, the latter from fatigue.

A woman's Bright Retort.

were recording various good stories.
and one of them related a tale he had
heard of the poet Wordsworth bv one
who had known him intimately. 1t

of writing at night and in the early
morning, and that he used to rouse
his wife and exclaim, about O'Clock.

MUSHROOM RAISING AND CANNING
The French and the American
WAYS


Mushroom growing has become one
OF the established industries Of this
country; but the art of preserving and
canning the fungus plants is still left
almost entirely to the French. A New
\ ork grocer who has been successful
In preserving fruits and putting up
condiments undertook about twelve.
years ago to grow mushrooms so that
he could can them and place them on
the market with his other goods. He
spent about 81 900 fitting up a cellar on
his farm and Spawning it, and the
total amount Of his first years crop
was twelve pounds. After that they
would not grow at all.
Last year he built a house for his
coachman and decided to try one more
experiment, this time in the cellar of
the house, as the coachman had no use
for 1t. He proceeded with the greatest
care, he and his foreman both reading
all the standard works on the subject
They procured perfectly fresh and pure
fertilizers from the city and bought
carefully selected spawn. The result
was that within year 1000 pounds of
mushrooms were picked. AS fresh
mushrooms are worth 81 to $3.50
pound in the winter, the profit may be
easily seen. Then he tried canning
them. He and his foreman both know
all about canning, but they found out
that mushrooms are not like peaches.
You see this glass CAM" said the
foreman the other day. well, that is
one of the few cans of American mush-
rooms put up as American mushrooms
should be. We intend to place them
on the market and try to create a de-
mand for them; but it will be uphill
work, for the public is not used to
mushrooms that look that way. In
fact, I don't think that any other
mushrooms are canned in this country
and sold as American mushrooms.
They are bleached and sold under
French names.
The French are good cooks; I don't
wish to decry their ability in that re-
spect at all; but they lay more stress
on the appearance of things. With
them 1t Is looks first and taste after
ward. They bleach the mushrooms
with vftro1 to make them look white
and pretty. Now you can imagine
what a fine thing vitrol is to have in
your stomach. French peas are
bleached in the same way. It makes
them look fine, but it takes away the
natural flavor.
Mushrooms are in the same case.
These, you see, are dark, but as a
matter of fact they are finer and
richer in flavor than the French mush-
rooms. / don't see any reason WHY
demand should not be created for them.
and why native mushrooms should not
be sold and canned under American
colors. We have sold a good manys
cans of these already, and at the rate
the orders are coming In at present we
shall not be able to supply the de-
.mand."

TO MAKE THE SKIN CLEAR.
Take Warm Bath Before You
Retire.

'1t is no use denying ignoring it, OBJ
served woman physician, emphatically, to
complaining patient the other day; you
must take daily bath if you intend to have
a clear complexion. Oh, l know! you are
clean, of course, as the term is generally
understood. But being clean to the touch
and sight is one thing, and being hygeni-
cally clean is another. The pores become
clogged very easily, and although you may
seem to be free from all suspicion of un-
cleanliness, there may be great deal that
should be taken out of the breathing holes
of the skin. A bath every night just before
you retire is imperative. 1t should be COM
fortably warm. l do not believe in cold
baths for women unless they are of excep-
tionally hard constitutions. Sponge yourself
with warm water, and then jump into bed
You will sleep WELL and your skin will soon
become as clear and rosy as babes. and

Yes; avoid greasy foods, and eat as much
