To Locate Roads Properly.

The importance OF locating ROAD
correctly at the outset, according to
competent surveyors and thorough ex-
animation, can hardly be over-esti-
mated. Where reports are made by
viewers to some superior body with
whom the final decision rests, it is OF
great Importance that the viewers be
liberal minded, intelligent and public
spirited, aud that one of them should
always be thoroughly competent en-.
gineer. A full report of every exam
iuation should be made, and should
contain sufficient data to make it pos
sible to base an intelligent and accu-
rate opinion on it.

Good housekeeping has far more to DO
with domestic happiness than young peo-
pie dream OF. These times need women

keeping the romance will soon go out of
marriage. OF course the man who prizes
to the ways of her household does not
deserve to nave a good wife. He should
merely employ a housekeeper and pay her

wise regulation OF the household which
bestow a dignity on what would be trihing.
