EYES, SPECTACLES, AND NEWS
PAPERS. How long ought one bo ablo to read
a r.ewspaper without any liscomfortor
injury to the eyes? Six or eight hours
a day. People with good eyes or with
the right glasses can read print for
six or eight hours a day steadily. If
this can be done, and if the finest print
looks the same to "both eyes, there can
not be much wrong. Good eyes with
out glasses can do this; but no eyes
with bad glasses can do this. One
half of the people cannot read the
newspapers for any length of time
on account of the bad eyes, improper
glasses, or both.
Nearly all persons from instinct or
habit and from the sheer necessity of
trusting the eyesight feel that their
eyes are perfect. Thero is not one
chance in a hundred that this is true,
and if they will only take a minute and
try their eyes, even with the ordinary
tests used by the government and rail
roads, many will find that they are
badly mistaken, and if they will try
the more useful and yet more delicate
tests of the specialist doubt will grow
into conviction that something is
wrong.
Many of the shortcomings of the eyes
do not give trouble or need attention
until late in, life. On the other hand,
a slight failing may quite early in life
injure the eyes beoynd repair. Other
parts of the body can differ in size
and in shape, and still through life
give good service, but in this one thing
be sure all eyes must a as true to
a fixed standard, both in size and in
shape, as a legal, minted dollar, and if
not they are not right, and trouble
will come sooner or later.
A man's eyes for a great distance
are not so good as an eagle's, nor for
small and near objects so good as a
monkey's. Nearly all animals can see
better at night than man. The Bush
men of Australia, and some of the
African tribes have in their wonderful
eyesight for distant objects their best
means of protection. A man may see
things that are far off all right and
yet not see well to read, or it may "be
just the opposite with h.m. In near
sightedness objects are magnified, thus
some who cannot see a man across
the street are able to do the finest en
graving "by the naked eye. People
with good eyes can read for hours at a
time without any trouble, and can see
-well at any distance, no matter how
far, and need no spectacles until late
in life ,and then only for reading.
Old (people like these can find glasses
fong 'quarter' that fit them all right.
There is no other test that will show
as many of the failings in the eyes
as the simple one here given: Hold
fine 'print about sixteen inches from
the eyes. Cover first one eye and then
the other with a card. Keep both eyes
open. Now try the eyes with adver
tiser's print, letters naif an inch
square, about twenty feet away. In
the aged this is the best test to toll
whether both eyes see exactly alike.
In this teBt shows they are not alike
in one under thirty there 1b something
badly wrong. If any difference is
found, reuding and near work should
bo lot alone until the eyes are perfectly
fitted and balance with glasses bo ub to
bog print alike and act In harmony.

ular trait of human nature, Which for
