COMBION DEFECTS OF VISION, iteneens `illy Perseus lifiVina Any 9(Thcnr, /Mould tete Glasse. The three defects of eyesight. which. are most: .commonly,, encountered in otherwise healthy persons, and which eau be more or less perfectly overcome by means of glasses are neat -sighted - nese, far-sightedness, and astigmat- ism. These are all important, for, be- sides the discomfort and annoyance of imperfect sight, the involuntary of forts which the Sufferer makes to see better strain the eyes, and not only injure thaw, but 'also give rise, through reflex action to headaches,.' and various nervous disturb`anoes. Near-sightedness, short-sightedness, or myopia, as it is variously called, is a condition of the eyeball, --usually a lengthening -in consequence of which the rays of light are brought to a fo'- cun in front of the retina, Slid so the object is blurred. This condition may exist from birth, c but is. usually the result of too `mu h and too• early use of the eyes, as in the case of students, engravers, wo men who de fine sewing and so forth. Thais we may say that putting chil- 1 dren to work at oma of the kindergar- ten exeroisee, indergartenexeroiees, such as perforating and. drawing, is in a double sense a short- ' procedure.' near-sighted hted ec le .refuse to Many � people I wear glasses, preferring to deprive everything themselves of sight for be- yond the nose :rather than to injure their personal. appearance, as they think.. This is another short-sighted' policy, for, besides, losing much of the joy of cai'steno° which comes from see- ing ing the beautiful things about and above us, suoh, persons are very liable ( to suffer from inflammation of the eyes produced by constant strain. ' A leas common defect is long or far- sightedness ar: hypermetropia: •This is' I the opposite of myopia, the eyeball be- ing flattened or shortened and the rays of lightly'consequently not com-ing to a focus by the time they reach the retina. In this.case' the eye often corrects the defect' more or less successfully by making the crystalline lens more con- vex, but it does this at the expense of the sufferer's nervous force, 'and so we often find tired and congested ] eyes, ;headeches, indigestion and even serious •.nervous affections.

Ah love greatY are simply kidney disorders, The kidneys filter' the blood of all that shouldn't be there. The blood passes through the kid- neys every three minutes. If the kidneys do their work no impurity or cause 4f disorder can remain in the circulation longer than that time. Therefore if your blood is out of order your kidneys have failed in their work. They are in need of stimulation, strengthening or doctoring. One medicine: will do. all three, the finest and most imitated blood medicine there is own.

But in the human body tha masses of jelly are each surrounded by a dense envelope, so that they have no power to put out feelers. They are of -dif- ferent shapes in the. muscles, lungs, I liver, intestines, brain, and elsewhere, and each does a pertain part of' the body's -work-,that is to say, there is division of labor. The blood brings them all food, and, I curiously, the blood contains a num- i ber of the animalcules you find in ponds, which forage for themselves. Every one of these cells is a living animal.

A fire started" in a New York tene- ment, and spread with such rapidity that those on the top floor were cut off from escape. An old man, a sick woman and two little children ape appeared at the windows imploring aid. A passing driver anatched a large rope from his wagon and -ran toward the fire. A sailor ,followed him, and the two, codling,a fireman, bounded up an adjoininghigh building and broke through the skylightto the roof. The fireman was lowered and the rope set swinging.

If the direction is that it is to be talten every our hours, ;give it at a.m., 12 m., 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Do not give medicine ill the night unless the doctor has told you dis- tinctly to do so. Hot milk and coffee disguise the taste of codliver or castor oil better than anything else. Pour a little cof- fee and milk into the cup first, then the oil, then more coffee, and one will hardly know he has taken the medi- cine. No Danger.

It has been found that an apparatus for killing animals with chloroform, in England world not work in India, because the high temperature prevent- ed the concentration of the chloroform vapor.' That this was the case' was proved by the fact that by placing ice in the box the animals were readily. killed. In some of the Germanhos- pitals an iced chloroform is used, which gives much better results in its prompt action, its safety and the en- tire absence of any unpleasant after- effects than the ordinary chloroform.
