HYGIENE OF READING.
ADOINoToN BRUCE


Everybody knows in a general
way that much injury can be done
10 the eyesight by careIessness in
reading. But few people know the
exact precautions which should be
taken in order TO read in a hygienic
way.
For this reason special value at
taches 10 a simple. terse statement
OF the principal rules in the hygiene
OF reading. as recently published in
the Journal OF the American ,Medi-
cal Association. Here are the rules
in question:
It depends much OF your safety and
success in life.
.. Always hold your head up
when you read.
3. Hold your book II inches from
your face.
>. Never read in the twilight. in
a moving car. or in reclining posi-
ton.
s. Never read with the sun shin
ing directly on the book.
Z. Never face the light in read
ing.
s. Let the light come from be-
hind you and over the left shoulder.
g. Avoid books printed indis-
tinetly or in small type.
10. Rest your eyes frequently by
looking away from the book.
II. Cleanse the eyes night and
morping with pure water
IL. Never rub your eyes with
your hands or with an unclean tow.
el, handkerchief, or cloth.
These rules summarize compact
ly the findings OF scientists who
have made a special study OF the
hygiene OF the eyes. II Is worth
adding that the rules were original
ly drawn up in the above concise
from by a committee chosen by the
National Education association.
The committee recommended that
they should be printed on the first
blank page OF every school book, in
order 20 teach children how to read
without doing injury to their eyes
A similar recommendation was
afterward made by committee oil
women school principals In New
York city. II Is a splendid idea
and II Is to be hoped that parents
everywhere will bring pressure to
bear on the school authorities "a
insist on its general adoption by
school book publishers.
How necessary such action II
may be better appreciated by cit
ing. for example, the result OF the
inspection OF the eyes OF school chill
dren In Pennsylvania, as reported
by Dr.. r. Park Lewis, at the annual
meeting last month OF the Medica
Society Of New York State.

that they authorized her to publish

When the Angel of Death

Grand Duke Ernest Of Hesse had
very pretty little daughter by his
first wife, Princess Victoria Melita,
OF Great Britain and Coburg. now
married TO the Grand Duke Cyril OF
Russia. This little girls name was
Elizabeth, and on account Of her
beauty and sprightly cleverness she
was a universal favorite and the only
tie between her parents after the
cstrangcmen..
While staying with her uncle and
aunt, the present car and czarina,
at their picturesque country seat in
Poland, she succumbed when seven
years old to poison-ptomaine pol

Is given by an English woman OF the
name Of Miss Eager, who. after
spending a number OF years In the
service OF the emperor and empress
OF Russia az the nursery governess
OF their young children. published on

authority and approval OF their
