unique and in entire keeping with the
rest, The guests came home in a big

year the pleasantest memories from ont

Bad Air and the Eyes.

The purity and temperature of the
air are of great Importance to the
eyes. 1t may be charged with dust.
smoke, acid yapors or sharp PARTICLES;
1t may produce irritation or infamm
ton. either directly, or when the eyes
are tired and heated by abslracting
too much warmth from them. Persons
whose occupations expose them much
to dust should often wash the eyes
with cold water. Clean river water.
or, when 1t con aims only small guam
tity of mineral matter, clean spring
water, is the best for this purpose
Spring water which contains much
lime should be boiled before being
used. When the body is heated care
should be taken that the water is not
too cold. Washing with hot water re-
lakes the eyes, renders them predis-
posed to inflammation. and. as rule,
should only be practiced in disease
or by the direction Of surgeon.
