Bye -Glasses e.tid the Eyes that
. Need Them.
Economy of -the Eyesight.
This is a chapter for the middle-
aged, for there is her* anything of
which youth is so prodigal and careless
as the sense of sight. Even to the
middle-aged the subject is apt to be un-
attractive until a conviction of losstarid
decay forces it upon their attention
Ladeed, in the following directionq th
writer is only giving the result of efforts
. made to counteract the ill effects ef
personal ignorant waste and thanght-
less delay._
' The first thing to- be remembered i
that after the eyes require the aid o
glasses, every day's delay injures them

But of Whatever substance the gi asses
may be, when once a pair has been

thing to be lightly, treated. It i well
from the ;very first to get into the habit
of taking care ofthem, lest thy get

things whichimay help to recruit and

just so much adde&. to sight. Some

The time when glasses are require
varies exceedingly; age is a most un
certain guide. There are old ladies o
sixty with _perfeot sight; there ar
other ladies of thirty-five ar,forty wiles
eyes imperatively demand aid. No
only age, but the peculiar conformatio
of the eye, and the care that has bee
taken of it, iuftuence the time greatly
cu. lets a so say that biue-gray eye
beat the wear of extravagant use muc
better than very dark or black one
However, the majority of ladies be
tween the ages 'of forty and forty-fiv
require the aid of glasses; and yet
though the need is so universal, scarce
ly any one suspects the trouble at th
beginning, and all are somewhat. take
by surprise.
The symptoms are, however, invari
able and. decided; no one can mistak
them, There OCOM'S at candle or lam
light a, mist or a dusky hue over wha
is wished to be seen. Objects far off
are seen better than those close at hand,
There is an involuntary movement
nearer the light, in Order to read a let
ter or book, and the book or paper i
held fartter from tilt eyes than usual..
Small objects,,if looked at any length
of time, grew confused. The eyes, af-
ter a little close applioation, ache, and
become so fatigued that rest is neces-
sary; and there is ofteil, on . first
awakening, a sense of weakness, from
which. the sight does net recover for a
little while.
-When these symptoms occur, it is a
question between carelessness or vanity
d
ansight. The eyes need glasses to
save them from unnatural efforts, and
to husband their strength. This point
determined, remember that not only
present comfort, but possibly years of
sight depend upon the choice of the
glasses used. llappily no ene is now
eo ignorant as to take oat the glasses of
a past generation, though in my own
vouth it was a fashion common
enough-grandmararna's glasses were
supposed to be all that reanama could
require.
Choice of glasses. -Go to an oculist -
the best oculist you can command -
and ask hira to select the. number . of
glass necessary': `He will give the very
lowest power that can be used; the
power that will simply restore the sight
to what it was, so that reading or sew-
ing can be accomplished at the same
distanoe as what the eyes were perfect.
The expense of such a consultation is a
great economy. With care it may not
be needed again for some years; and it
is well to remember that "a tool. be-
comes a wes.pon. iu an ignorant hand."
But do not expect these glasses,
which enable the eye to work at the
proper distance, to be of any use in see-
ing things further away; that would
be impossible. A glass cannot changem
its for, like the eye, which, by some
mechanisra imperfectly understood, al-
ters its conformation for every dis-
tance. Those using the lower numbers
a -alasses will hardly need help for dis-
tant objects, -unless it be for pictures
hung in a gallery, or books on the up,
per, ehelves of a library. For such oc-
casional efforts it glass of greater , focal
length may be necessary. Get the
glasses se; in, plain, blue steel; the da,z-
Ac of gold fra,mes is trying and injuri-
ous:. See that they are of pure glass
free from all specks, rays, or, globules,
of equal thickness and of equal form.
The best test of the purity of the glass
is to b.old it before a flame. To see if
they are quite true, hold them obliquely
over print; if the glasses are correct, all
the letters will preServe their proper
shape in spite of the oblique glass. Or
raise the glass slowly from the book to
the eyes, and if any of the letters zip-
_ pear distoeted, the substance is not uni-
form.
A very important matter in choosing
glasses is to ascertain whether both
eyes are equally worn, and need the
same number of glass. Irequality of
condition is far commoner than is gen-
erally supposed. Headaches in one
temple more frequently than in, the
other, or peculiar occupations, may
cause the unequal wear. Or the left
eye, like the left hand, lags behind, and.
does not do its fair share of work.
Then, like the left hand, it becomes,
through want of exercise, weaker than
the right -one is worn Out with labor,
the other depraved. with ease; and the
latter condition is generally the worse
of the two. This is one thing that can
'be best decided. in that necessary in-
terview with a skilful. oculiet. But if
from any cause the eyes have wan -ir-
regularly, the two eompartments anust
be fitted with glasses of different
powers.
The right focus found, see that the
ceutre of the glass_ is directly opposite
the centre of the pupil. We are very
particular a) have a bonnet shape that
fits the head, but it is far more impor-
tant that the frame of our glasses
should fit the face. The space be-
tween the eyes varivs almilst every
individual, and yet little notice is taken
of this peculiarity. If the centre of the
glass is not oppsite the centre of the
pupil, there will be an aching sensation ,
after wearieg them. An optician. tried

There are some people in this world

will have soreething to find .1:au1t ,with

congratulated on his safe arrival on the
happy shores beyond this life, replied:

and. that when it falls ehort of fulfilling
that intention, is as sadly out of joiet as
Hamlet's world: The feelings of ot iers
are to these people matters of miller -
consideration, or often, to tell the tr
matters of no consideration at all. If
the condition of affairs is so fortu ate
as to suit themselves, they should heu
suit others -others who are very un-
reasonable if they, do not like that ar-
rangement; and if, after all, the
arrangement does not suit others, aud
! there is any adventurous rebellio in
consequence, then others have no s use
of justice or of th.e eternal fitnes- of
things, and are, on the whole utterly
and.a,bsolutely to blame. And woe be-
