Sotier totes stacae compels an exhans- rr Ne edes to maintain the required adaptation. - Thousands of eyes are spoiled by readingin the kit. ears and other vehicles. Recently I was con- sulted by 4 railroad expressman, who had be- come totally blind by reading the ne im the cars. Thousands who have never con- sciously suffered any inconvenience from the Babit, are obliged to wear giasses prematurely to correct an unsteadinese of vision jaced in thisway. Reading with the gas light before You is another cause of weak eyes. The light should always hang quite hugh and behind you, and allowed to shine over the shoulder. If convenient it should be over the left shoulder. If using kerosene, it is best toemploy the lamps which beng on the wall. Neither should you read with your face towards the window. Reading by twilight is dangerous. Gradually accommodating itself to the receding twilight, the eye is unconsciously strained. have seen more than one case of grave disease of the eye, produced by an undue effort touse the vision too jong at twilight. White paint outside, white paint inside, white paint everywhere. During the season of brightest sunshine, the giareburts theeye. I wonder if it is notin bad saste likewise! notice that artists have none of it about them. In our constant reading. the eyesight is much tried by the white paper. J hope that the tfuted paper, with a still deeper color, may become fashionable. Avoid reading by artificial light when you can. We read too much. Weread as we eat—pellmell, hotichity- po cb; no mastication, no digestion. If. asa peo- pie. we read less we might know more. Few indications are more unpromising in a child than a remarkable passion for books. I doubt if a good lady, who called on me the other day with her son will ever forgive me for what 1 raid toher. Her boy wasofthe regniar Boston type—ereat head and eyes, with smal! and nar- Tow chest. She eaid in a mournful voice, but With evident pride, “Ah, doctor, be has such a passion for books. As soon as he is out of bed, he isdown at some great book, and scarcely leaves it but for his meals. He never plays like other children.” I told her, among other things, that unless she could break up that habit her son would very likely turn out a dolt. She left very soon with the belief that I did not understand her son’scase. I should hayeabout as much hope of a man who gives himself up to childish aes as I should of a child who gave himself ap to the habits and life of a man. The newspapers have much to answer for in the way of small type and imperfect printing. I would cheerfully give $20) a year to sup- port anewspaper which would give us morn- ing and ovgning, a half column of the really reliable news, instead of fitteen columns of diluted speculations and trick canards, the reading of which hurts our eyes and wastes our precious time.— Dio Lewis. How to Breathe. There is one rule to be obseryed in taking exercise by walking—the very best form in which it can be taken by the young and able- bodied of all ages—and that is, never to allow she action of respiration to be carried on through the mouth. The nasal passages are clearly the medium through which respiration was, by our Creator, designed to be carried on. ‘God breathed into man’s nostrils the breath of life,” es to his becoming a living creature. he difference in the exhaustion of strength by a long walk with the mouth firmly closed, and respiration carried on through the nostrils in- stead of through the mouth, is inconceivable to those who have never tried the experiment. Indeed this mischievous and really unnatural habitof carrying on the work o! inspiration and expiration through the month, instead of through the nasal passages, is the true origin of almostall the diseases of the throat and lungs, as bronchitis, congestion, asthma, and even consum ption itself. Thatexcessive perspira- on to which some individuals are so liable in in their sleep, which is so weakening to the body, is solely the effect of such persons sleep- ing with their mouths unclosed. And thesame unpleasant and exhaustive results arise to the animal system from walking with the month open, instead of, when not engaged in con versa- tion, preserving the lips in a state of firm, but quiet compression. As the heat and velocity ofthe blood through the Inngs depend almost entirely upon the quantity of the atmospheric air inhaled with each inspiration, and it is un- avoidable that it should be taken in, 1m-volume, by the mouth, while it can only be supplied in moderate quantities, and just in sufficient pro- portion to serve the purpose of a healthy respi- ratory action, while supplied throngh the nos- trils, itis clear that the body must be much lighter and cooler, and the breathing much freer and easier, when the latter course rather than the former is the one adopted. Chil- dren ought never to be allowed to stand or walk with their mouths open: for, besides the vacant appearance it gives to the countenance, it is the certain precursor of coughs, colds, and sore throats.— Methodist. _ @7 Extensive frauds are said to have been discovered in the Quartermaster’s Department at Louisville. S7-A great manufactory of steel is soon to be established twe miles below Harrisburg, Pa, on the Susquehanna river. A thousand skilled workmen are to be brought from England, and fifreen hundred others will be gathered in this country. The establishment will be much the largest on this continent. S27 The New York Tribune says: “We be- lieve the census of 1560 will rank the chief cit- ses of the United States in this order: 1. New York; 2. Philadelphia: 3. St. Louis: 4. Chicago; 5. Cineinnat San Francisco; 7. Baltimore: 8. argh; 10. Richmond.” 7A few days after the earthquake at San Francisco a cloud was seen rising from the sea, resembling smoke from a vast conflagration. &7 The celebrated Mainesculptor, Simmond, bas received an order fora coliossal statue of President Lincoln, for Philadelphia. 1t is to cost $30,000, S7-Tunis is about the size of New England, and has two and a half millions of inhabitants.
