EYEGLASSES AND WHY.
TAs Increase II the ys1hss Worn
Net - 8vtSsAss sf DsS>so-t--
sioa OF the Byes.

The question il often asked, pa<tieu-
larly by those who can recall the Gus
toms and experiences Of as years ago:
"Why do so many persons nowadays
wear glasses?" The answer is easy:
The increase in the number of spec
,acles worn is not TO be regarded as an
evidence o. modern degeneration of the
eyes, but rather that a loug-felt ne
oessity has been met" For it should
be remembered that within the past
quarter Of century much has been
learned about the value of glasses, and
the range of their application and use
fulness has been enormously extended.
OF course. the eyes need more help now
than formerly, as the amount Of work
they are required to do is much greater
than at any previous period in the
worlds history. The sewing machine
and many other inventions Of its class
save the labor OF the hands only TO add
TO that required of the eyes, says Lip
pincott'a.
New employment,, new aInusements
and new fashions are continually being
inHoduc to increase the exactions laid
upon these sentative and delicate or
gans. The steady decrease Of illiteracy,
together with the general cheapness of
literature and a spread Of a taste for il.
the enormous circulation Of novels.
magazines and newspapers, the eyer-in-
creasing use of artificial illumination,
all combine TO overtax the eyes and to
weaken or possibly destroy the sight

disposal. Thus it happens that the
sometime luxury of properly adjusted
glasses has come TO be recognized and
understood by very many Of the present
generation as one of the real pecessi-
