Abuses to Be Avoided If You WISH to

lowing half score of "dou'ts" from the

Sterling Ryerson, professor Ct 0Dhthal-
mology in Trinity medical college. TO-
ronto, says: 'Myopia being essentially
a condition due to abuse Of the eye,
one is constantly being Obliged TO say
don't to patients. II occurs to me
that it might be useful to pun these pro-
hibtory rules in aph0ristlc form:
l. Don't read in railway trains or in
vehicles in motion. ?. Don't read ly-
ing down or in a constrained position.
3. Don't read by freight. moonlight or
twilight. t. Don't read by Pickering
gaslight or candlelight ). Don't read
books printed on thin paper. s. Don't
read books which have no space be-
tween the lines T. Don't read for
more than fifty minutes without stop
ping, whether the eyes are tired or
not. s. Don't hold the reading close
to the eyes. 9 Don't study at night,
but in the morning when you are fresh.
10. Don't select your own glasses at
the outset
1T would almost seem as though
some of these rules We're too obvious
to require mention, but practical ex
perience shows that most people abuse
their eyes just in the way stated. Read
ing by freight or by moonlight are
favorite sins. Reading lying down
tends to increase the strain on the
accommodation, and reading while
travelling tires the ciliary muscle be-
cause of the too frequent adjustment Of
focus In short, anything which tends
to increase the quantity of blood in the
organ favors the increase of the defect,
leading in extreme cases to detachment
of the retina and blindness.

To Help the New York Poor.

The latest scheme to help the i'm
.pecunious of New York is the Reliable
Legal Advice Company" Its object is
to aid people who need the assistance
Of the law. but who have no bank ac-
count at their back. Two good lawyers
will be at the command of wage-work-
ers and others at certain hours of the
day. and moneyless 1itigants will be
freely advised. Archbishop Corrigan,
DR.. Parkhurst and the leading rabbi of
the metropolis have given their names
to this new and novel idea, and it is
expected to tighten the loads of the
worthy ones who get entangled in the
meshes of the law through their own
ignorance or the chicanery Of others.

CAPT. CHARLES KING.

Ills First Effort in Literature Was Dis
coursging.
Capt. Charles King, of Milwaukee, is
IN interesting example OF man taking
TO literature in middle life and making
a notable success. When he was re-
tired from the cavalry service a few
years ago for wounds received in the
desperate Indian warfare OF the plains,
he found himself with children to edu-
cate and with no resources beyond the
slender pay of captain on the retired
list Some years before, while sta
toned in the south, he had written
novel which dealt with the disturbed
condition of that region during the re-
construction epoch; but he had failed to
find a publisher for it, and had made up
his mind that he possessed no special
talents for writing. After leaving ac-
tive service he settled in Milwaukee
and wrote The Colonel's Daughter,
which proved an immediate success and
still sells largely. Like all his later
stories, its theme was the life Of the
army
Capt King looked over the field Of
American literature and found that
here was a neglected corner which in

FACTS ABOUT THERM
Sensitive Instrument Which Registers
Heat from the Moon.

70 tell whether a thermometer ac-
curately does its work, invert the
instrument, says the New York World.
If the mercury does not fall to the
end or if it breaks into several small
columns the thermometer contains air
and is inaccurate If perfectly made
the slender thread should fill the tube
or break off at the bulb and fall to
the other end of the tube.
There is another interesting fact
about thermometers. Nine persons out
of ten think the mercurial column
round but that is not the case. The
thread of mercury in thermometers is
fiat. If it were round the column could
hardly be seen, for She opening Of the
tube is as fine as the finest thread.
Some eight of ten years ago Boston
manufacturer introduced a scheme OF
coating the back of the tube with white
sizing That makes the column of mer-
curry stand out clear and distinct.
Thermometers are cheaper and bet
ter than ever before. You can now buy
a heat marker for % cents but first
class instrument will cost you 81. A
cheap instrument is like cheap watch
it is unreliable. The reason for this
is that a perfect thermometer has
scale of its own. A cheap thermometer
is made on guess work. Hence you
see a difference of two, three or five
degrees between thermometers in the
same locality on the same day.
The most sensitive heat marker is

on a steel pivot, rotating like

PARKS ON RATTLEFIELDS.
How Easily Communicable Thing Ma.
BE OycrdIlC.

BE OvcrdSnc.
Secretary Lamont in his last annual
report warns congress that the business
Of creating national parks ont OF the
batLlefelds Of the war may be overdOnc
and involve the country il a heavy per
mancnt expense for their proper main
tenance, says the Philadelphia Press.
There is force in this caution. There
was an evident prOpriety i'll making a
national park of Gettysburg, which was
the turning point of the rebellion.
CAicbamauga and Chattanooga mark
another critical struggle and the ma
tioual park there well deserves all that
has leCn spent upon it. Congress is
committed to the Shiloh battlefield
park and there is strong movement to
establish a park that shall include t
ground occupied in the important
movements that resulted in the fall Of
Vick8burg.
i bill has been introduced in this
congress to establish a national mill
tary park at the battlefield of Stone
River The battle of Stone
River, or, as it is more commonly
called the battle of Murfreesboro, was
Il bloody battle, bravely fought and
bravely won. But the forward move
ment of which it was part and aIea-
ture eliminated within a year in the
battle of Chattanooga. The same
troops to a large extent fought at
| Chickamauga and Chattanooga that
were engaged at Stone River. We do
not understand the importance of Rose
Grams great victory, but if Tennessee is
| to have three national parks comment
oratiye of the battles of Shiloh. Stone
River, and Of Chickamauga and Chatta-
noOga, how can the claims of at least
score of the great battles of the civil
! war be denied a like commemoratlon.
Those who fought in those battles on
either side are, of course, anxious to
| have the fields set aside as parks and
the lines of battle and the positions or
commands properly marked. The 10
cation in which they are situated all
want the local advantage of a national
park established among them. But
I their interested persuaSions ought not
| to weigh. Congress should take INTO
! consideration the whole scene of the
/ late civil strife and decide which, II
any more, battlefields shall be specially
distinguished by being taken under ma
/ tional care. The relative importance
of the battle and the tactical interest
! of the struggle should determine the
question of the dedication OF the battle
! field as a park and not the pressure or
localities and the opportunities of the
! survivors of particular battles.
