THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY. MARCH 5. 1898. 11' PRUDENT CARE OF CHILDREN'S EYES Pecantlons Which Many Parents Thoughtlessly Neglect. QROWINQ USE OP EYE-GLASSES Slops Taken to i:nniliio tho fcyes ol l'uplla in the Public Schuols--An Occullst 'foils of tho Importiinoo ol the lroJoctNocosltT of Watching the Eyes o the Young. From tho Sun. Nine mothers out of ten neglect the eyes of their children. Tho question Is often asked, "Why do wo sea eo many children wcarlne glasses nowa days?" Eyo specialists reply with an other question, "Why do wo see t?o few young people wearing glasses?" and they answer their own question by saying, "Because parents are so ignorant of tho Importance of caring for tho eyes of their children." The average mother looks after tho teeth of her babies from almost tho time that tho first llttlo grains of rice, as Pho calls them, make their appearance, but it does not always occur to her that her child's bright, pretty eyea may bo in a condition that will lead to poor eight or even blindness. An effort is being made In the public schools of this city to have a care for the eyes of the children, but those in terested are hampered by want of money to carry on the work. For ten years or more Superintendent Jasper has been interested in looking after the eyes of the public echool children, not merely so far as diseases of the eye are concerned, but also as to re fraction, plain and simple. lie says that the day Is surely coming when the eyes of each Individual pupil will be examined by a specialist, and thoae that are not normal will bo properly cared for. IN KIGHT DIRECTION. "This is a step In tho right direc tion," said a prominent eye specialist in speaking of this effort of the school board, "but the care of a child's eyes should begin at home long before he enters a kindergarten. Really the care of the eyes ehould begin before the birth of one's great-grandmother, but since our ancestors took no thought of this precaution in our favor, wo must do the best we can for ourselves by having our eyes examined frequently, and by taking good care of them If they prove normal, or by treating them properly If not normal. It would shock many a mother to learn that her child Is blind through her own Ignorant carelessness, and yet this Is true in a great many cases. Our asylums for tho blind are filled with people shut out from the light because their eyes were not cared for when young. The educated, thoughtful mother of today who neglects a child's eyes is almost a criminal. If a mother has taught hereelf to look at her child in the right way, his actions and speech not only denote to her the child's mental ity and morality, but also the actual physical condition of his eyes. Fre quently a child suffers from violent adaches and neuralgic pains, and a peculiar manner of looklntr nt tplo and objects. The Ignorant moth calls this manner a 'queer habit, s it is cute, and encourages thn lid to keep it up. These headaches re as common to childhood as rhr.ii- rcatism, which parents tell the llttlo Mifferers Is nothing but erowlnc nnina and nine times out of ten are the di rect result of eye strain. USE OP EYE-GLASSES. "Eye strain Is frequent In children without the resultant headache. It is rareiy recognized by mothers, though. Many people nsk why so many folks particularly children, are wearing glasses today. There are three good reasons for this being the case. First of all, our ancestors were careless about our eyes, and then tha methods of modern civilization are extremely try ing to tho eyes, and, last of all, peop'ie generally are being gradually educated to the necessity of wearing1 glares. The environment of our forefathers and our own environment combined nre the conditions that put glasses on eo many noses.

Y. free I TO AUI VmeO time to have a, bad effect on so deli cate an organ as tho eye, and by chang" ing or Interfering with tho passing nnd exit of the llulds through the Interior of tho eye, give rise to a degeneration and dlsen.60 of tho delicate coating In lta interior. Eventually U leads to nn elongation of the eyeball Itself, which Is a condition known as myopia or near-sightedness. Many a child can thank its mother for being near sighted. She has encournged It to strain over books for first honor or some filllv prlzo nnd the result Is a bad case of near-sightedness. Tho elon gation of tho eyeball Is not as a rule congenital or hereditary, but a tend ency to It certainly Is, nnd when such Is tho case a confinement over books will surely cause It. "When a child has what Is known as far-sightedness, or hypermetropla, a life led in tho open is not nearly bo Injurious as a confined life. If n far sighted child Is allowed to romp nnd play in the country or in the park the best part of Its time, It will probably go through its whole life without any eye trouble. Fnr-sightedness has not a tendency to increase, but most au thorities agree that it turns into near sightedness If tho subject docs confin ing work. Because a child sees as well as its playmutos doe3 not signify that It has no need for glnsses. If the youngster is fnr-slghted, that poor llttlo muscle In the eye Is compelled to work hard all the time for distant vis ion, and all the harder for near vision. CROSS EYES. "The exterior appearance of n child's eye rarely shows a difference from nor mal In Its rerractlvo quality, unless the child has a squint or Is cross-eyed. The eyes of almost every cross-eyed child, If taken in time, can be straight ened permanently by the use of glasses, and the necessity of an operation and much mental Irritation consequent up on continual pain avoided later in life. "Mothers do not nlwnvs attend promptly to plgns of Inflammation Rbout the eyrs of their children. It is very seldom thnt an eye specialist sees a case unless it hns been inferred to him by the family doctor after ho hns expended all his skill In endeavoring to cure the ch'lld of headache. Few fam ily physicians realize that most of Childhood's headaches nre due to eye strain. The question arises, can suf ficient permanent injury come from the conditions of the eyes mentioned to justify any community in expending money toward discovery nnd relief'? Yes, ten times yes, for tho reason thnt there are very many persons in our blind asylums today who are parasites on the municipality because their eyes were neglected in childhood. "A child's eyes should 'be Jut as care fully observed during the period nf its growth as its morality. Then H .the time that the eyes are most strained. In view of the ignorance of parents, teachers and the children themselves, it would be very wl.'e to have nn ex amination made by experienced eve specialists of .the refractive condition of the eyes of every pupil In our public, schools. A record of each examination should be kept and where there Is a tendency toward near-sightedness, far sightedness or anv of the conditions mentioned, the teacher in direct charge of such pupils would bo instructed by the doctor as to the proper amount of eye work advisable In each case. After the system was once established there would be but little trouble. A general examination of the eyes would hardly be necessary more than once a year. EXAMINATION. "The regular examination of a child's eyes should begin at birth and should then be made by an eye specialist. It is a simple enough matter to examine a child's eyes and nn expert does It very rupidly by means of a little Instru ment known ns the ophthalmoscope. With only those eyes showing a con dition other th'an normal by this instru ment would it be necessary to go through a longer and more thorough examination. The moment that a mother, bo she poor or rich, sees that a child's eyes are Inflamed In the least she should take it at once to a special ist. Thcso who are not able to pay for advice should patronize the dispen saries where special attention is given to the eye." "is color blindness common?" asked the reporter. "Not very," answered the physician. "A lot of people nre color blind and yet can differentiate between colors, but not shndes of color. It Is only by care ful testing that color blindness can bo discovered, nnd It Is sometimes tho forerunner of ntrophy of the optic nerve. The sense of green goes first, then red, next blue, and llnnlly white. A condition of color blindness Is sel dom called to the attention of the spe cialist. True, examinations as to color blindness are made by railroad man agers in employing men, as a protec tion to themselves nnd the traveling public, but as this Is ubout the only occupation where business interests and life depend on a differentiation of colors, I hardly feel that it would be wise or just in this proposed examin ation of the oyeii of all children to tack upon them the stigma of being color blind. PRECAUTIONS. "Mothers should not allow growing boys nnd girls to read or study at night, and they should train them to change the range of vision frequently. A child of two or three years can be taught that when its eyes are tired from looking nt objects close to it, it will rest them to look nt things ofT In the distance. Children should also be taught to read and study sitting in almost a vertical position, with tho book nearly on a level with tho eyes, and at an angle so that the light shines on it from over the shoulder. The so called simple remedies for weak and Inflamed eyes should bo shunned us we shun a plague. Poultices of bread and milk, camomile and tea leaves and ap plications or rose water, belladonna, witch hazel, and so on are very Injuri ous. No hot or even wnrm applications should be used on the eyes unless di rected by a specialist. More ulcers of the eye are the result of such homo treatment than of any other cause. In removing foreign bodies from the eye tho linseed or eyestono should never be resorted to, for, In tho Mrs' lace, it 1 llablo to pnss from view belli, the lid, often causing additional inilam. Jition, and then It Is an excellent Vehicle for germs." m IJNDMUC. ROUND STKI.AMN. Tliounnnd of .lilies of HiiblerrniiDRit Rivers In Kentucky. John It.

D., Secretary of American Society of Religious Education. INTRODUCTION All harmonists agree 1 that tho events of today's lesson oc curred prior .to those of lust Bunday's lesson, The record is made by two other evangelists (Mnrk II, 23-03, and Luko vl, 1-6), with somewhat greater brevity, but with substantial agreement. Matthew nlono mentions the reference which Jesus made (verses 6 nnd 7) to himself and to tho prophets, valuable hb helping to sus tain the Messianic claim which It was tho chief purposo of tho first Gospel to set forth. In studying our lesson we must remember that Jesus, during Ills earthly ministry, was a roformor. lie found tho Jowlsh nation attached to cus toms, but destitute of vital godliness. The people conformed to legal requirements nnd boasted of that conformity, seem ingly thinking that thereby they made themselves religious (Luko xviil, 12), and they even construed tho letter of the law to increase Its severity. In order to pre pare for the spiritual elevation of the people Jesus was obliged to opposo this legal narrowness nnd bigotry. Sabbath observance was one of the Items tequlr Ing Instruction. OCCASION.Jesus and Ills disciples were on u journey, returning to Caper naum after a successful ministry in the neighboring villuges. They passed through a cornfield, what we would call a whoat field their corn was not like our maize. This walk wns allowable to the distance of two thousand yards, a Sab bath day's journey (Acts I, 12). Tho dis ciples became hungry. Thero Is 110 evi dence that Jesus fell any need for food. He may have been supernaturully sus tained, or Ho may have suppressed any discomfort operlenced. It is certain that Ho had power over bodily conditions (Matt. Iv, 2). llcr.ee, while lie passed on Ills way, tho disciples plucked tho ripen ed grain, rubbed It in their hands, blew away the chaff, and nte. (verse 1.) This wns no trespass, but a liberty nllowod to tiuvelers under the law, (Dcut xxlll.K) a very wise nnd gracious provision It was, In that country with Its peculiar modes of travel and its system of public inns. Tho disciples evidently felt that there wns no Impropriety in their conduct, probably they hud done the same thing many times. miTIClSM. instantly the Pharisees gathered about our Loid. They had fol lowed Him whcicver Ho went keeping a constant esplonago upon Ills notions. In tho synagogues, in the feasts, in tho cities, at the t-eashore nnd in the Melds, they wntehed, reproached, tempted nnd Insulted Him. On tho slightest pretext they sought to arraign Him at the bar of public opinion and to destroy His grow ing Influence upon the masses. Now they tldnk they havo lighted upon a heinous offense, und they openly decluro that the disciples bad dono what was unlawful (verse 2). Their charge rested upon tho teachings of tho rabbis who hnd Inter cepted the law of Moses and perverted and destroyed It, saying that to pluck corn was reaping, nnd to rub It was threshing. These derivallvo rules, ns they were termed, wero held In higher esteem than tho original word of God (Mntt. xv, 9). Thus hud they set up human stand aids for the government of men and hnd condemned the Innocent, a form of crlt clsm . not nltoscthcr unknown In tho church of our time. PRECEDENT. The reply of Jesus was In two pnrts. Ho first appealed from tho teachings of tho Jewish doctors, on southern escarpment into the basin of central Tennessee. In this distance only three streams are crossed Nolln, Oreen, and Barren Rivers: and be tween these rivers the entire surface drainage passes away through subter ranean channels, giving rise to a cur ious "sink-hole" topography which Is peculiar to this region. These circu lar and oval-shaped depressions nre so numerous that In places tho rims al most touch' one another, and one can sometimes count several hundred to the square mile. Through vents at the bottom of these sinks the surface-water passes downward Into caverns and underground streams, emptying into the above-named rivers through arched ways near water-level, and In places beneath the surface nf the rivers. The surface-rock of this plateau Is the Subcnrbnnlterous limestone, which Is here several hundred feet thick, a massive, remarkably homogeneous rock, with no Intervening strata of shale or sandstone conditions most favorable for the formation of caverns; consequently this region contains more and larger caves. In a given nrea, than nny other legion in the world. In Ed monson county, where the celebrated Mammoth Cave Is located, it is claimed that there ar3 as many as five hundred known caverns.

Ho Inquired (verso 3), what a gentlo yet stinging re bukol And then He quotes from tho book what may bo considered two prece dents, us warrants for tho nets of tho apostles. David, under Btress of hunger (Sam. xxl, 6), had eaten tho show bread which wus wholly devoted to tho priests (Ex. xxlx, 32). And tho priests wero au thorlzed by law to do on tho Subbath (verso C) what belongs really to other days, and wero blameless, because they wero engaged in Cod's service (Numb, xxvlll, 9). Thcso two citations from the word of God, showed that tho Ideas of tho Pharisees were falso on tho subject of sanctity. Will you blamo thcso fishermen disciples for taking a llttlo food when they nro hungry, with such Illustrations of a larger liberty practiced by tho great king, and by tho very ministers of the Jowlsh church? This was a question for the critics to answer. AUTHORITY". This first reply was supported by a second, If possible more forceful (verses C to S). Jesus was not willing to leave the subject under tho limitations of tho old covenant, ns Ho would havo dono had Ho paused with the fifth verso. Ho Immediately passes over to tho New Covenant and usserts His su periority and authority. Ho declared Himself to bo greater thnn tho temple, which tho Jews regnrded with peculiar reverence (Matt, xxvll, 40). He alllrmed that the Pharisees were Ignorant of tho grent principles of mercy, which Ho camo to publish, and which were of In finitely greater moment than any snen llco or ordinance, Implying, that, It nec essary, the old custom might yield to give placo to the larger and better aspects of spirituality, intimating also a reproof for tho formalism and legalism of that day which had obscured and dwarfed Its pity (Hosea vl, fi). Thcso statements prepared for n reference to Himself, ns Lord of the Sabbath. Ho had come to Introduce its true observance, to correct tho false notions nnd restore it to Its rightful place. His authority over the day was complete. )Jo would guard it and regulate Its observance, und no 0110 need offer any suggestions In its behalf. If Ho were pleased so to do Ho might set aside tho seventh day and appoint another. ENMITY. The Phnrlsecs were silenced because thero wns nothing further for them to say, but their opposition wus in creased. They saw plainly that tho Mas ter wns superior to them they hated Him for that reason, nnd determined to find some mode of accusing Him to tho au thorities. The occasion was soon present ed. Tho wholo company moved on, en tered Capernaum, nnd went Into the syn agoguo (verse 0). There was found a man with n withered hand the atllcted of those days were nceustomeil to visit places of worship that they might appeal for aid (Acts 111, 2). Hero is a Pharisaic; opportunity. Drawng nenr, tho question Is gently put, "Is It lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?" (Luko xlll, 14). Thnt ap peared like confessed Ignorance In tho presence of acknowledged wisdom. It wns Intended to bo n snnre. Knowing tho goodness of the Saviour's heart and re membering Ills many cures, they expect ed to provoke Him Into an act that would warrant a legal process against Him (verse 11). Relying upon the gloss of the Rabbis who held that the fourth com mandment (Ex. xx, 0) forbade oven nets of mercy, they expected nn ensy conviction. fKSSwKSkS'iSJSW; U "Aw MESgl fm&F Q0M mo It cuts the grease, and a good rinsing will leave the dishes delightfully clean.

SpS &$ fZ& RESPONSE.-Thts new phaso of tho Sabbath question was met first In tho ooncreto and second In the abstract (verses 10 and 11). Turning to tho Phari sees Jesus nBkcd if any would hesllato to pull his sheep out of n pit Into which It had fallen on thn Sabbath day. That ap peal could not be answered. Every man will protect his property. Tho hearers must havo felt tho forco of tho Inquiry, oven though Ignorant of tho law (Ex. xxlll, 15), twice given (Dcut. xxll, 4). llo cclving no reply Jesus added, "How much Is n man better thnn a sheep?" Will yoa rave a beast nnd leavo a man in distress and pain? The far-reaching influcnco of tho Saviour's question can hardly bo known. It revealed tho hypocrisy of His enemies, and laid the basis of humanl turianism in all ufter centuries. The in terview closed with a great moral truth, tho posltlvo sldo of religion. Judaism in that day concomed Itself with many ne gations, but Christianity Is built on the words of Jesus. It Is lawful to do well on tho Sabbath day, ushering In a dispensa tion of gocd deeds to the Fouls and bodies of men. MIRACLE. The doctrine and practice of Jesus wero always In accord, each Il lustrating and supporting tho other. Hav ing declared that It wns proper to do well Ho could not withhold His power from tho unfortunate man with the withetcd hand. Had Ho done so tho value of ills words would havo been diminished, nnd IIo would havo been proven to be less than He wns, tho Divine man. Without hesitation, therefore. He commanded, and tho hand was reached forth and Instantly restored (verso 13). Imagination may easily picture the scene that followed. The rejoicing nt.d thnnkfulnes of the cured man, tho wonder of his friends nnd of the by-stnnders, the increased admiration and devotion of tho disciples, the contus ion and bitterness of the Pharisees ns they went out (verso 11) to hold a council, and tho benlgrant dignity of tho Man of Galileo who had triumphed over opposi tionall these qualities displayed them selves In tho faces of thoso who heard what was said und witnessed what wus dono on thnt Sabbath day In the syna gogue nt Capernaum. Sl'MMARY. The lesson Is rightly titled "Jesus nnd the Sabbath." It touches nearly every element of the doctrine con cerning tho Christian Sabbath. Note these points: 1. Jesus Is the Lord of tho Subbath. It Is not a Jewish but a Chris tian Institution, "tho Lord's day," hence not obsolete. IT His, then It must be de voted to Him and used according to His spirit, nnd for His glory and Cause. 2. Whllo its primary purpose is to furnish opportunity for spiritual employments (Rev. i, 10). the needs of the body must not bo neglected and all nets of mercy nro 'awful. Hunger must be relieved, nnd disease may be cured. It was mndo for mnn (Mark 11, 27), for his body not less thnn for his soul. ". The day Is perverted when men surround It with arbitrary reg ulations, brought down from old time ob servances, a misinterpretation of the let ter of legal enactments. Whoever Is loynl to Christ, whoever follows Him, will bo likely to keep the day might. 4. Thero Is no encouragement bore for looseness of views or practice concerning that which Jesus malntaned. lie did not destroy but reaffirm and perpetuate. If tho Sabbath I for mnn for all men It Is for tho nice, for nil time. on. WisK, for dishes that can be thrown away after every meal, to avoid the tiresome task of dish-washing, cannot he granted.
