In young people, this change is usually gradual and unper- ceived, but from middle life onward its effects are plainly apparent. Those who have normal vision while young, will require glasses for reading when they have passed beyond the age of forty, and thos who are near-sighted, will need glasses in early life, if the degree of nearsightcdness (myopia) be considerable, and yet they may be ab c to read perfectly well Without glaSses at fifty, or even sixty years of age.

But not only does the eye undergo certain normal changes as age advances, but it may be abnormally formed; hence, optical de- fects are quite common in infants. The eye is a camera, and, while it may be perfectly sound, the vision may be bad because the rays of light are not focused upon the reti- na. Hence comes the necessity for wearing glasses, for, by placing suitable lenses before these eyes, normal, distii: :t vision may, within certain limits, be obtained. It is not generally known that it is the excep- tion, and not the rule, to find c3 es tliutarc perfect in shape, or, technically speaking, that are “enuiictropic.” Still it; does not follow that all eyes that are not perfect in shape should have glasses fitted to them, for some errors of refraction do not interfere seriously with vision, and never give rise to disease or decided discomfort to the patient ; but, as a rule, persons whose eyes are “ weak," or who suffer from complaints similar to those which we shall soon consid- er, should present themselves to some com- petent oculist for the detection and subse- quent correction of any existing errors of re- fraction. There still exists quite a prejudice in the minds of many against the use of glasses, but why such prejudice should exist is very difficult of explanation on any other grounds than willfiilucss and ignorance. All ophthul~ mologists teach the great necessity of cor- recting errors of refraction by wearing pro- per glasses, and we shall herein endeavor to show some of the undesirable, and even porteutous results of permitting optical de- fects to go uncorrected. As a rule, glasses add nothing to the appearance of the wearer, and they are often a source of inconvenience, and, unless there is a definite object to be attained by their use, one is better without them; but where they are indicated and advised by one competent to decide, neither vanity or prejudice should prevent their being employed. In general, it may be said that all errors of refraction which reduce the patient’s vision to any extent below the normal, or which produce any marked change in either the near or the far points, require correction by the use of suitable glasses. The effort of accommodation is a muscular exertion, and hence a tax upon the nervous system, and, if long continued, results in more or less exhaustion. \Vhen far-sighted eyes are used for rcadiu or near work, for any considerable periot of time, it larger flow of blood is sent to the eyes, hence, there is an increased secretion of mucus, or ‘ ‘water- ing of the eyes;” and, if the work is still continued, dizziness, headache, a feeling of sickness, or even actual vomiting, may be induced. As excessive effort of accommoda- tion is always associated with increased con- vergence, and, as a far-sighted eye must al- ways increase its accommodation in order to gain clear vision, it naturally squmts inward, and nervous twitchings of the eyelids-and other portions of the face are sometimes occasioned by it. . Short sight is often hereditary or congeni- tal, but may be acquired from prolonged straining of the eye. This condition is not infrequently the precursor of serious, and sometimes irremediuble impairiucntof viston, and hence skilled advice and proper glasses, are of highest importance to the patient in preventing the necidents to‘ which every myopic eye is liable. There is an excesstve demand made upon the muscles that con- verge the eyes, in the efforts made to keep them both fixed upon small objects held close to the face, and sometimes, being iiu- able to withstand this strain, they give out, and one eye is then turned outward by the opposing muscle, forming a divergent squint. The vision should be rendered normalâ€"ex- cept in very high degreesâ€"by the use of concave spherical glasses, and every thing which tends to congcst the eyesâ€"such as reading or writing in the recumbent or stoop- ing posture, or by faulty lightwis to be most carefully avoided. The far-sight of old are, is caused by a lack ofpowcrofaccoiiuiim atiou,iiiid,although distant vision remains unimpaired, there is a constant. recession of the near point. This is first noticed when one finds that he is obliged to hold his paper farther away from his eyes than before, and that the print is not so clear as formerly. This is easily cor- rected by convex 'lasses for readiu , and they should be employed as soon as t is af~ fectiou becomes manifest. It does not usuiil~ ly cause inconvenience until after the age of forty. In astigmatism, or irregular sight, the re- fractiou differs in portions, or meridians, of the cyc,aud the rctiualima 'c is thus con- fused. This condition is usua ly congenital, and may bclicrcditary: it is,however. some- tiiiicsacquircd, oftcii occurring after inflam- imitious of the cornea, and may even be occasioned by tho usc of improper glasses. It is a very common optical defect, and is corrected either by cylindrical lenses, or by combining cylindrical with either spherical or cylindrical lenses. Ahliffercut refnictivccmiditiou iii the two eyes of the some person is quite common.

In this condi- tion there is a continual strain upon the weaker muscle in order to do its work, and this alone will c iuse very many headaches, neuralgias, and general nervous symptom. We have already considered this subject in cases where the irregular action of the mus- cle: of the eyeball is sufficiently tanked to produce aquint, but attains: there ll merely a loss of function which can be determined only by careful examination. the change to the strong midday light will be less trying to the eyes.

The Royal British Veteran ever pains the healthful eye should beavoid- ‘ Societv and a large concourse of citizens ed. This includes the reading of very fine or poor print ; especially when the attempt is made on a railroad train or other convey- ance, where the vibration of the vehicle con- stantly changes the focus, and makes it difficult to follow the lines, as well as read- ing at twilight, or by any other imperfect illumination. In reading or writing, the light should come obliquely from the side. and fall upon the surface of the paper so as to fully illu- mine it, with the reflection passing away at an angle without striking the reader in the face The reflection from white paper is iii- jurious. The sight should never be taxed during general weakness, or in convales- I cence, as the nerves and muscles share the general debility, and are easily overtaxcd, nor is it advisable to read while lying down, or in a stoopiiig posture. One of the ad- vantages of the type-writer is, that it allows an erect position. Many eyes are seriously strained and in. jiired by deferring the use of glasses after the focus has changes by purely natural causes. This is hurtful, as their function is to assist and save the eyes. If properly treated these organs will remain efficient till life’s close. The period when spectacles become a necessity varies much, but with normal and well matched eyes, it may be ex- ccted about the age of forty-five. Some- times it will come later or even sooner. The selection of proper lenses at this time is not a difficult matter. Those of low power should be used at first, since the purpose is not to magnify objects, but to render them clear and distinct. See that the print you read is clear, and test the glasses by wearing them for at least half an hour, and under variety of conditions. If they bring a sense of relief to the eye while reading, and can then be laid aside without derangement of vision, they are right.- l Evil Effects of Catarrh. It has been the rule to consider nasal cat- arrh almost entirely a local disease, and one which has very little effect iipou the general system. All this is bcin rapidly disproved, and it is being shown t iat if the nose is in an unhealthy state there is quite a long list; of affections which may be induced in conse- quence. Hay fever has often been cured by applications to certain points in the nasal passages. Asthma also, has yielded to the same treatment. Itis a well known fact that when the victim of catarrh suffers from dys- pepsia, scarcely any improvement in the latter can be made, no matter what is done for it, until the former is on the gain. Evi~ deuce is notwanting to show thatsevere func- tional disturbances of the Inn 3, and even of the heart, are sometimes in uced by nas- al trouble. Recently, there was reported the case of a woman who had epilepsy for sever- al years, and although she had patiently sought relief, no improvement took place un- til applications were made to her nose and its condition improved. Under that line of l treatment, entire recovery occurred. Veryl many other cases are on record which show that the relation between the nose and other parts of the system is very intimate, the connection being, of course, through the nerve system. A Woman Killed by a Vampire. The wife of Senor Gonzales, a promiucn citizen of Mouteroy, Mexico, was found dcao in her bed the other morning, with a large but of the vampire variety fastened in her hair. She had been sleeping by an opei’ window, and the creature had flown in an evidently killed her by sucking her blood for two tiny wounds on her neck close to the jugular vein indicate the place it had punc- tured. Its escape had been prevented by the hair of its victim, which was very long and abundant, and had so entangled the vampire in its meshes as to hold it until it could be killed. The death of Senora Gon- zales is much regretted in the community, as she was a lady of amiable and benevolent character, as well as noted for her beauty. I The death inflicted by these bats is a very peaceful one. for while draining the blood they keep up a continuous gentle fanning of their wings, which soothes and bills the sleeper until his sluiiibers glide imperceptib- ly into eternal rest. Senor Goumles, who wasuslccp by his wife’s side. says he was fiist awakened by the bat’s frantic endeavors l walked in the procession. It is announced here that the Alpine club of French journalists are coming to Canada this year on their annual excursion. W A Cunning Fish. He who goes a~fishing in our quiet inland waters soon becomes familiar with the pret- ty golden and ruddy sun-fish ; but no angler simply as such, ever saw this lively creature at its best. It is one thing to catch them, which is too easily done to consider the matter sport, and another and far nobler {thing to watch their ~winning wa s when guarding their nests. He who 003 this will realize what a fish really is, for to credit these animals, as a class, with a modicum of common sense, seldom, occurs to any one. But this much can be set down as incon- trovertibleâ€"a fish is no fool. Not long'since, as I was passing over a little bridge, I noticed a big mother sun- fish in a violent state of trepidation, and paused to determine what was the trouble. A single glance told inc the whole story ; a host of little minnows were darting in at the eggs that; covered a little space of the shallow nest, and the parent fish was de- fcuding them as best it might. The attack- ing minnows were in two bands, and as one of these was’cliased away, the other rushed into the little depression in the sand. But before they could seize the eggs, or so I thought, the sun-fish returned with a rush and scattered the intruders. So it kept up, and apparently would have never ended, had not; a more formidable enemy of the sun-fish appeared upon the scene. This was a huge sucker, and en- tirely too powerful it foe to be met in single combat. The sunofish recognized this at once, and hit upon a happy expedient, which succeeded admirably. Instead of vainly darting at the sucker, it sped round and round its nest with inconceivable velo- city, and so stirred up the water that the intruder was frightened or bewildered, and beat a hasty retreat. It was .alla matter of a few minutes, but how much transpired l The little minnows proved their cunning by their tactics ; but whatadeal of quick wit centered in the brain of the sun-fish.â€"[Dr. Charles C.

Its existence depends solely upon its contagious principle, and it cannot arise spontaneously under any condi- tions, any more than dogs themselves can. Eighteen years ago, through being unable to trace the origin of a case of rabies which Occurred under my personal observation at Rochester, Kent, I was of opinion that it might have a spontaneous origin, and this opinion, I may state, was held at that time b several of the leading veterinarians 0n the Continent, (Bouley in France and Roll in Austria.) But soon afterward, on a more careful consideration of its geographical ex- tent, and the f'ésult of sanitary police measures in different countries, I arrived at the conclusion that its maintenance was due to its contagiuin only, and that if this were destroyed there could be no more rubies or hydrophobia. This conclusion I have made. known on every possible occasion. It may also be asserted that though many kinds of creatures can become infected, and may infect each other, yet the (log is the original infector and the chief dissem- iiiator, the dissemination being affected by inoculation, in nearly all cases by means of ii bite. After inoculation, if it is to be cf- fcctive, a variable period clapses before the signs of disease manifest themselves ; this is the period of latency or incubation, and it may extend from a few weeks to many months, but in the great majority of cases it does not go beyond six months, though there are some recorded in which it has been longer. Twelve months should cover all cases, and, therefore, if dogs could be prevented from biting for that period in, this country, and no dogs were allowed to enter it from other infected countries, the contagion must perish for lack of renewal, and the scourge Would be no more seen or felt.
