PRECAUTIONS.

Mothers should not allow growing
boys and girls to read or study at
night, and they should train them to
change the range of vision frequently.
A child of two or three years can be
taught that when it's eyes are tired
from looking at objects close to it, it
will rest them to look at things off in
the distance. Children should also be
taught to read and study sitting in
almost vertical position, with the
book nearly on a level with the eyes,
and at an angle so that the light shines
on it from over the shoulder. The So
called simple remedies for weak and
infamed eyes should be Stunned as we
shun a plague. Poultces Of bread and
milk, camomile and tea leaves and ap-
plications of rose water, belladonna,
witch hazel, and so on are very injuri-
GUS No hot or even warm applications
should be used on the eyes unless di-
rected by a specialist. More ulcers of
the eye are the result of such home
treatment than of any other cause. In
removing foreign bodies from the eye
the lnseed or eyestone should never be
resorted to, for in the frs place, it Is
liable to pass from view behl. the lid,
| often causing additional inflaml alton,
and then it is an excellent vehicle for
| germs"

An Ambitious Ysung Soldier who

Elmer Campbell was the greenest and most
ambitious raw recruit In COL Hzrtigan's reg

best type of the "hay-foot, straw-foot" SOL

ious than anyone to become an officer.
the latter finally told him if he would secure
book on tactics and master it he should
have the first chance to show what he could
do when there was vacancy among the Off
GERS. Campbell bought book on tactics
and stayed up late at night to learn its con-
tents.
Forward, column right Tor left. as the
case may bel, march

at giving orders If he wished Campbell

the book had told him was the proper thing
to do. Then he swelled his chest trifie, and
