Care Of the Eyes.

This is day when the deiusio:ls to
which one has held for years arc grad
ually being swept away by those "who
Know" One such delusion in which
we all once believed was that to read
while in a recumbent position was in
furious to the eyes. Oculists now tell
us that if the light be good and the
type of the printed page clear we may
safely indulge In the luxury OF lying
down and reading at the same time.
But while our oculists tell US this, he
also warns us that we may not use
our eyes, before breakfast, as the strain
on the optic nerve will seriously affect
the sight. So she who would read be-
fore she rises in the morning must
have her cup of coffee and a roll or
slice of toast brought to her bedside.
Unless one has unusually strong
ewes one must not read when one is
extremely weary. Exhaustion and ia
t1gue affect all the nerves OF the body
and the optic nerve is so sensitive
that it should receive particular con-
sideration. Nor should ore ever be
guilty of the carelessness O! writing or
reading facing window. This, too, is
a cruel strain on the sight.
Washing the eyes morning and night
in water as hot as it can be borne is a
wonderful tonic for those useful SER
wants which are so easily injured.
When we consider how we neglect
their welfare by using them by lading
daylight and insufficient artificial
light by forcing them to do work when
they are weary, and by denying them
the rest for which they long, we have
cause to wonder not that they some
times become mutinous and refuse to
iulful. our demands but that they are
ever faithful IN our service. They
will, as Il rule, be as good to us as we
are to them.
