AFTER SEVEN MONTHS a a literary
famine aed ;lows droutle the peeple of
Blyth have succeeded: in, inducing a
printer to bring his pant end 'whiting
material among them and start a paper.
The ADvocATE acknowledged by all
the leading critics to be the newsiest
and best editechpaper ever published
in. that village, died, and the cause was
lack of. nutriment, Seven printers
have tried the newspaper. business in,
BIyth inside of eight years, and the.
Anvoceteei through undaunted'persever-
anee and iron will, stood the racket
for nearly. three years, when it suc-
cumbed to the•decease of ite six prede-
cessors, consequently the ADVOCATE
discovered in Blyth as in manyanother
place, that itis easier.to put money in-
to the peblication of a weekly news-
paper than to take it out. However,
the people of Blyth are persistent in
their endeavors to have anewspapeato
represent them before theoutside world -
and it behooves them now to support it
The paper to be started there is to be
called the "Blyth Standard," and -will
be run by Mr, Robert White,,of Exet-
er, a practical printer and.good writer,
and will be energetically conducted%
but the past experiences of seven printt
ers establish the fact that there is not
an existence for a newsnaper in Blyth..
SOME VALUABLE. records have just
been published in•Seienee en the observ-
ed effects of boxing the, eers. Dr.
Samuel Sexton has fifty-one cases upon
his records in which the has been in-
jured by blows of the open hand or fist.
The nature of the injuries varied con-
siderably. One, had inflammation of
the ear, with suspicion of intracranial
trouble,. made. running: of the ear for
twelve years following a blow upon
that orgau. This patient subsequent-
ly dies. of, brain disease. In another
case the ear became inflamed and the
hearing yery much. impaired., In. all
other, the patient was slapped by his
father upon the leftear andinatnediate
pain and deafness enstied, with a bloody
discharge, from .whieh he vogs three
months in recovering. The dangers to
which Dr, Sexton calls attention are so
grave that parents and others having
charge of children should choose Solna
other method of punishing the young
than boxing their ears. It is not im-
probable that, if Dr, Sexton pursues.
his inquiriee further, he will find other
eases in which brain disease has follow-
ed this.barbaroas practice.

No doub tthese demands will be utiliz-
ed by the immigration agents in War
ope as showing the opportunities Otte-
adr offers to immigrants. It ought to
be:borne in mind that this sceacity of
lb.hor is only fimporary. Neither rail-
way laborers nor farra workers are in
demand during the whiter months and
the wages paid during the summepare
not sufficient to keep them in idleness
until next season. Nothing is more
delusive than the -summer, but it is too
often represented as, being the steady
and normal condition,of. the Canadian
labor market..
