Certainly there is wisdom for two

home OF their own, writes Ruth Ash
more discussing s'The Mistress of the
Small House," in November Ladies'
Home Journal. Boarding house life
is bad for women, and I do not believe
that any man has ever really enjoyed
it. God created women to make
homes-to make homes for the men

this new life. Do not wait for a big
house and many servants, but make

Homework. Work is only disagreed
BILE when it is badly done, and from
washing the silver and glass to dust

done if you go about it in the right
way and with the right spirit. You
will have to be considerate and you
will have to be patient. You will Ger
tainly make mistakes, but each mis-
take is one step toward success. Bur

You will be the happy housewife, the

No man ever made home. He does
not know how. The woman's brain,

CARE OF THE EYES.

DR.. g. Sterling Ryerson, professor
of phthalmology in Trinity medical
college, Toronto, says: 'Myopia being
essentially a condition due to abuse
of the eye, one is constantly obliged
to say, don't to patients. 1t occurs
to me that it might be usefnl t. put
the prohibitory rules in aphoristic
form: CD Don't read in railway trains
or in vehicles in motion. (2) Don't
read lying down or in constrained
position. 60 Don't read by freight,
moonlight or twilight. (4) Don't read
by Pickering gaslight or candlelight.
90 Don't read books printed on thin
paper. co Don't read books which
have no space between the lines. CD
Don't read for more than fifty min
utes without stopping, whether the
eyes are tired or not. 90 Don't hold
the reading close to the eyes. (9)
Don't study at night, but in the morn
ing when you are fresh. (10) Don't
select your own glasses at the outset.
1t would almost seem as though some
of these rules were too obvious to re-
quire mention, but practical expert
ence shows that myopes abuse their
eyes just in the way stated. Reading
by freight or by moonlight are favor
lite sins. Reading lying down tends
to increase the strain on the accom-
mediation, and reading while travel
ing tires the cillary muscle because of
the too frequent adjustment of focus.
In short, anything that tends to in
crease the quantity of blood in the or
gan favors the increase of the defect,
leading in extreme cases to detach-
ment of the retina and blindness. p
