ABUSING THE EYES.
Reading While Rocking Is q Mighty
Harmful Habit.


A well known ocuIist declares that
women injure their eyes, sometimes
seriously, by swinging back and forth
In a rocking chair while reading. This
practice lis especially injurious when
one is reading by an artificial light or
by daylight when the sway Of the
rocker makes shadows come and go on
the printed page. Rigidly as one may
think ones book is held, there is bound
to be little unsteadiness of the page
as the chair goes forward and back,
and the eyes must adjust themselves
rapidly to the changing focus.
Every one knows the danger of read
ing In a fast moving railroad train, but
reading In a fast moving rocking chair
lis quite as bad. Women who use low
rocker for sewing seldom sway back
and forth much when an important bit
OF work Is In hand. The chair stops,
and interest is concentrated on the
problem OF stitching or hemming, but
many a woman will read and rock,
rock and read, through a whole eve
ming and perhaps every time her chair
comes forward the shadow Of the lamp
shade fringe is cast across the page of
her book, this In addition to the con
tinual change Of focus made necessary
for long suffering eyes
A rocking chair is not really restful
and most women rock from nervous
habit; the more nervous they are the
faster they rock. Man really rests
and relaxes when he sits down In a
deep, rockerless armchair. Who ever
saw man rocking violently and smok-
Ing cigar at the same timer The
woman who can sit perfectly still with
folded hands while she rests and spend
an hour reading without rocking or
swinging one foot with knees crossed
win benefit In nerves and In eyes from
the resting or the reading She who
rocks and reads win certainly feel eye
strain from the practice sooner or later.

There is no virtue In dawdling
saunter. The slow and languid drag
ging OF one foot after the other which
some people call walking would tire
an athlete 1t utterly exhausts "A weak
person, and that Is the reason why
many delicate persons think they can
not walk. To derive any benefit from
the exercise 1t is necessary to walk
with light, elastic step which swings
the weight of the body SO easily from
one leg to the other that its weight IS
not felt and which produces a healthy
glow, showing that the sluggish blood
Is atirred to action in the most remote
veins.

methods adopted in prohibition states
for the attempted enforcement Of pro-
hibitory laws. Government has been
taken out Of the hands Of the people,
as IN the custer law of Tennessee, and
the prohibition commissioner Of West
Virginia. Everywhere a financial pre-.
MUM has been offered both to the
legal and to the extra-legal law en-
forcers-as IN Iowa and in every pro-
hibition stately which legalized
blackmail and ranking injustice are
constantly carried on. These attempts
at enforcement must break down of
their own weight The habit Of free
peoples Is for each person who sees
or thinks he sees-a better way, to
put It into practice In his own life.
II 1t is good it wins its way, and be-
comes universal, or nearly universal,
custom. Thus it may grow into the
common law OF the land.

IL the prohibition medicine were
