A number of business nnd residence sites at Te Aroha and Waiorongomai are advertised as open for occupation, From a medical journal the following extracted -.—Nine person^ out of ten with a cinder or any other foreign subs an ce in the eve, will instantly begin to mb the rye with one hand while huntiftff for their handkerchief with the other. Ihey may, and sometimes do, remove the offendm•cinder, but move frequently they rub until the eye becomes inflamed, bind a handkerchief round the head and go to •bed. This is all wrong. The better way is not to rub the eye with the cinder in at all but rub the other eye as vigorously as you like A few years since I was riding on an engine. The engineer threw open the front window, and I caught a cinder that cave me the most excruciating pain, I Wan to tub the eye with both hands. '" Let your eye alone, and rub the other eye (this from the engineer). I know you doctors think you know it all, but if yon let that eye alone and nib the other, the cinder will be out in two minutes, persisted the engineer, I began to rub the eye and soon found the cinder down near the inner can thus, and made ready to take it out. " Let it alone and keep at the well eye," shouted the doctor pro tem.^ I did so fora minute longer, and, looking in a glass he gave me, I found the offender on my cheek. Since then I have tried it many times, and have never known it to fail in one instance unless it was as sharp as a piece of steel, or something that cut into the ball and required an operation to remove it. " We understand," says the Lyttelton Timfs, " that yet another addition is to be made to the number of fisms likely to be established in New Zealand by Australian capitalists. This last is a firm, the capital to work which is supplied by a powerful Sydney syndicate, and they have a most novel and interesting plan in hand. It is fheir intention to utilise some of our native woods in the manufacture of paper by the modern sulphide process, of which they have seemed the rights from the sole patentee, Mr Partington, of Manchester. The kahikntca, or white pine, with which our native forests abound, has been found to be peculiarly adapted to this process. The principal requirements for the success of the process are sulphur and lime, no bleaching with soda asb or other powder being nocessary. As sulphur and limestone exist in New Zealand in any quantity, it may be seen that the piospects offered to tbis industry in the colony are extiem<oy •favourable. The representative of the syndicate has had the promise of every assistance from the Government, the Surveyor-General, Mr McKeirow, having paiticutarly intetested himself in the scheme He is now about to make exhaustive enquiries through the colony, with a view to discover the best site for a large mill.
