The Care Of the Eyes.

To preserve the sight unimpaired, as
well as the beauty of the eyes, the rules
of hygiene should be strictly observed.
Too strong light and profound and
long-continued darkness b0e1bspfedis-
pose the eye to various malaAil 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 II it be suddenly ex-
posed to a bright light, contraction
not taking place readily. paSalysis OF
the retina, with consequent blindness,
may ensue. The sudden Translates,
from light to darkness is atten4ed With
less serious but no less certa1nIy IN
furious consequences. The refie44aon

rooms where much of the time is spent.
long looking at rapidly moving objects,
are all injurious to the sight. Soft
tones are both pleasing and most
beneficial to the eye. Green is the color
most favorable to the eye. as it exer-
cises the muscles moderately without
fatiguing them, while black or very
dark colors maintain them in a state
of inactivity. The prolonged use of the
eyes, and 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
overt fatigue is a trifiing loss OF time
compared with the time gained dur
ing which they will remain serviceable.
On awakening in the morning the
eyes should not be exposed suddenly to
a bright light. A few moments should
be allowed to elapse to accustom them
to the half-light 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 OBJ
viously bad consequences unnecessary
to specify.
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.-Harp.:'

They were Ready.

One of the district school trustees
was crank on the subject of fire, and
when he called around with the examin-
ing board he always confined his. re-
marks to a question addressed to the
pupils as to what they would do in case
the building should catch fire.
The teacher was acquainted with
his hobby so she prompted her schol-
ars as to the answer they should give
when he arose to PROFOUND his accus-
toned inquiry.
When the board called; however, this
particular trustee, perhaps from a de-
sire to emulate his associates in their
addresses, rose and said:
''You boys and girls have paid such
nice attention to Mr.. Jones remarks.
/ wonder what you would do if 1 were
to make you little speech?"

Newark. N. j., Aug. 6.--Ellwood S.
Leary, a lawyer. has been made de-
fendant in divorce proceedings institut-
ed by his wife, Susannah Leary. The
husband is charged with neglect, cruel
ty and continued intoxication. The pc

framing from instituting divorce pro-
ceedings at that time.
The agreement stipulates that he
shall cease the use of spirituous and
malt liquors, spend all his evenings in
his wife's company at home or else
where at her pleasure, and contribute to
her maintenance and comfort as much
money as he can earn in the practice of
his profession.
The wife claims that this exemplary
behavior lasted about four months, aft
er which he was brutal to her and rare
ly sober more than one day a week.
Alimony is also prayed for.
