TRAITS OF NEARsIGHTED.
Observant Teacher Says That They
Should lie Studied by Edu-
cationnl Experts,

"For the last two or three years."
said a teacher in one of the public
schools, reports the Chicago Tribune,
81 have been making something of a
study of the effect Of nearsightedness
in children-I mean the moral effect
think it is an interesting and impor-
tant subject particularly as defective
vision seems to be largely on the in
crease among our pupils, Almost all
nearsighted children develop certain
characteristic traits. Boys who are nat
urally active and healthy are apt to be-
come somewhat soured In disposition.
! think that is because their infirmity
puts them at disadvantage with their
companions In out-of-door sports. They
can't play ball, for instance, or tumble
about, and are never sure-footed. The
other boys ridicule them, and they be-
como solitary in their habits, so, for
that reason, special pains should be
taken to encourage nearsighted chill
dren to exercise. Another thing have
observed is that they are always nerv-
Gus and apprehensive in the dusk. That
is because they see imperfcctly In half
lights, and they should never be start
led unnecessarily. Most cases of my
opla, or nearsight, are discovered in
the sehoolroom through inability of
the pupil to see the blackboard. Before
the cause is detected, however, the child
often suffers unmerlted rebuke.

NEW DISEASE DISCOVERED.

Quarters.

'Domiphobia" is the title suggested
by scientific contemporary for new
disease which o medical authority
claims to have discovered, says the
London Globe. Although 1t has not yet
been dignified with recognized title,
the new ailment Is said TO be a "true
psychopathia," and presents all the
features of genuine neurosis." It at
taclSs only married women between the
ages Of 30 and 90, and Is the nntithesis
of nostalgia OF homesickness, occur

and reaching Its climax on some warm
spring day. In other words, 1t is mod
ern aggravation of the familiar feml-
nine mnnla for "spring cleaning" In
stead of leaving the patient GONZALES
cent after q stringent course of mops
and whltewash, 1t can only be cured by
change Of air, accompanied by the
household furniture In vans. Its earli-
est symptoms is q feverish habit of
scanning the advertisements of houses
or flats to let, and the medical author
fly who has discovered the ailment can
offer no advice, save to let the disease
take its course, complete relief being
obtained as soon as the patient is in
stalled In her new home. AS there is
many a true word spoken in Jest, we
fear that the disease "domiphobin" Is
by no means so1maglnary or fanciful
as might be supposed. In oldfash-
toned days a family took root in n
house and remained there until neces-
sity compelled a move, and then it al
most seemed as If only heartstrings
were wrenched in parting with "the
old place." 1t is an interesting subject
for study, and might afford a clew to
