The rigorous weather of the past fow days has given them an unpleasant forotaste of what they may expect from futuro winteza fy Kansas, and the slack demand for la~ bor at this seasop will Ieave wane of them du- pendont, ut least for atime, on the charity of thelr Cellow-mieu, . ‘Yhero must be deup-seated discontent amnone the negroes of these States to compel them to immigructe In euch nuwbers at the present time, They are not by pature a migratory race, ‘They prefer to live and die tn poverty in the cotton Wolds of the South rather thun svek to better their fortunes by golug North or Weat, As 0 rule, they are far trom euterprising; ‘they are easily satisiled aud beur with much abuse "from thelr old inasters, rather than seck to Improve thelr fortunes by changing thelr skles.

SIGHT AND READING. How tho Injurlous Effects Upon the Eyes May Bo Avoldod. Landon Toner. M. Jayel, ina recent Jecture, tries to answer the question, Why fs reading a specially faticu- ing exercise! and also suggests some remedies for thig fatigue, Firat, M. Javel says reading requires ou absolutely permanent appiication of the eyesight, resulting {no permanent tens{ou of the organ which may be measured by the amount of fatigue or by the production of per- manent myopy; secondly, bouks are printed fn ‘black oh a white ground. The eye is thus In presence of the most absolute contrast which can be {magined. Tho third pecullarity les in the arrangement of the characters in horizontal lines, over whieh run our cyes, If we maintain Surg reading a perfect {m- mobillty of the book and the head, the printed lines are applied saccessively to the same part: of the rating, while the tuterepacea, «inate bright, alsu affect certain regione of the retiaa, alwaye the same, ‘There mutt result froze’ thts a fatigue analogous to ty Which we experience when we make experimesté fn “neckgental fin- ares,” und physicists ll adinit that there fe nothing more disastre for the aleht than the prolonged contesphition of these images. Lastly, and most important of all, in M. Ja esMmation, 18 the continual variation of the tance of the eyefrom the point OF fixation on the book. A simple caleutation demonstrates that the accomasodation uf the oye to the page undergoes a distinct variation in proportion as the eye passes from the beginning to the end of each Ine, and thot this variation is all the greater in proportion to the nearness of the book to the eye and the length of the Nuc. As to the rules which M. Javel inculeates in order that the Injurlous effects of reading may be avotded, with reference to the permanent ap- pilcation of the eyes, he counsels to nyoid ex- ess, to take notes in reading, to stop fa order to rellect, or even to roll a cigarette; but nut to go on reading fur hours on cnd without stop- Ping, As to the contrast between the white of the paper and the black characters, yarluus ¢x- periments baye been made in the Introduction bf colured pavers. M. Javel adylses the adop- ton of a slightly yellow tint. But the nature of the yellow to be ured 1s not n matter of In- difference; he would desire a yellow reaultine frum the absence of the blue raya, analocous to that of paper made from a wood paste, and which {s often mistakenly corrected by the ad- dition of an piltramarine blue, woleh produces gray, und not white. M.davel has been led to this conclusion both from practical observutlon and aso theoretically from the relation which must exiet butween the two cyes und the colurs of the spectrum, ‘His third advice 1s to give preference to small volumes which cau bo held in the hand, which obviates the necvesity of the book bvelny kent Nxed In one place, and the fatizue reswlting frou: accidental images. Lastly, M. Jayel advises the avoidance of tou jong lines, und, therefore, he preferg swall yolumes, and for the same reason those journals which are: printed In narrow col- unns. Of course every one knows that it is exceedingly lujurious to read with fngufleient Nght, or to read tuo small print, aud other com- mon rules, M, Javel concludes by protesting avafnet an invidious assertion which has recently beon made “tn aneighboring country” (Germany nu doubt), according to which the degree of civilizution of a people is proportional to the number of the sliort-sighted shown to exist by statistics: the extreme economy of ileht, the abuse of reading; to Ue detriment of reilection and the observa- tlon of real facts, the employment of Gothic charactera aud of a too broad column. for books and journals, are the conditions whlch M. Javel velleves lead to myopy, eapeclally if successive generations haye been subjected to these tujurl- ous influences, IN A CELLAR. A Maine Phystclan Hus an Exelting Time with a Witd-Cat.
