It is a curious fact that sessor of a. black eye is always bitterly ashamed of his ornament. yet in nine- :Iyâ€"nine cases out of a hundred it is purer the result of an accident; and even if it is caused by the fist of an adversary, it at least goes to prove that the sufferer faced his foe. A black eye is simply a. bruise, a llackâ€"andâ€"blue spot, of the eyelids and the parts underneath the orbit. All these tissues being very loose and spongeplike in texture, the blood which escapes beneath the skin in all cases of bruising. and constitutes the blackâ€" :ind-hlue mark. spreads very widely. and causes great disfigurement. Sometimes, if the injury has severe, there will be an escape of blood .bericalh the membrane covering the eyeball; but the eyeball itself usually escapes damage, owing to its elasticity ' and to the efficient protection afforded by the bony ring forming the edges of ihe orbit. A short time after the injury has been i'cccivcd swelling of IIIP parts sets in. lhe skin is reddciicd and hot, and there is a feeling of tension. if not more or less actual pain. This is the time to treat the bruise in order to prcveni. as fa r as possible. the formaâ€" tion of the "black eye.” If nothing is done, the discoloration soon appears, first of a dark reddish purple color, and Iiir‘n almost black; . later it fades off wiih 2| play of Colors. green. blue rind ycllow, until gradually all traces of the accident disappear. ; 'Jlie first thing to do, and that as ‘siron :is [)tlSSllllc is to apply cooling [0- llioiis. to thc pail.
