Causes of Near-Sightedness. Nationalitv has an influence, though a slight one, in the production of near-sighted- ncss, as shown by contrasting Jews with other people. The complexion, whether fair or dark, also seems to have some in- flucucc. The shape of the cranial bones is also a factor, but how far is not yet determined. l‘ccp orbits? and a short face are very fre- quc-nt in near-sighted persons. but often the same mold of face found without myopia. rlei‘vzdity is an important factor. Child- rcu are nit-st liable to be nearsighted when both parents have been similarly affected. less liable when only the mother and least when only the father is thus affected. Boys of myopic parentage are twice and girls four times as strongly inclined to myopia as the offs wing of non-invopic parents. . 'l‘ crc is but little difference between the tendency of boys and girl:I to become near- sighted. If any exist it will be found that under the same conditions more girls than boys will become affected. Useupntiun has. the greatest influence in the production of myopia. as cspsciully marked in those os.‘upations winch dunaml t'n- yarn: and continuous {‘is‘CK'blllIlllKlJ‘Jlt‘ll of be so arranged that, in glo my weather the ' darkest art of a room should receive light. the wind.) ‘ lpro ~'t-rti0n to its floor surface of at. least ‘3’“ lone totive.

Many people are under the izzxprcssion that cucumber is very indigestible, and when they eat it they do so under protest, and with apprehensions of poFSlbly dire cou- sequ‘iices. How this delusion can have arisen it is difficult to say, unless it be that encumber is often eaten with salmon and other indigestible table friends. It is not the cucumber, however, but the salmon that sits so heavily upon our stimmch's throne. Cucumber, in fact, is very digestible when eaten properly. It cannot, indeed, be other- wise when it is remembered that it consists mainly of water, and that those parts which are no: water are almost as exclusively cells of a very rapid growth. In eating cu- cumber it is well to cut into thin slices. and to inastieate thcn thoroughly. Even the vinegar and the pr‘pper that. are so often added to it are of service to the digestion if not taken in exce . - The cucumber, as every one knows. belong ' to the invlon tribe, but in our somewhat. enldrpoun'; y it does not grow to any very large size, and there- fore it is firmer and looks less di estible than its congener, the melonâ€"f onden Hospital. .â€"â€"â€"'â€".
