That makes 1t easy travelling now but the time will come soon, when the ditch will he filled with water. Then you will have to take to the middle of the road and it will be muddy and of course will cut to pieces.
 A still better thing for you to do would be to get a good road drao and drag mile or two of the road nearest you. If every man who has team would do that there would be great improvement in our roads There can be found, in Nevada county. here and there, man who is doing that and no doubt some have wondered why the roads near such men are bet ter than the average.

rprvENTABLE INJURIES OF THE EYES

How different are our feel ", when we see an eye destroyed .ssoneb as some accident that could be .,,lv be prevented Many a mother ,., went bitter tears of anguish know mo that she alone was to blame for Ms loss of sight in her baby's eye, ,h,oncb her carelessness. If she had ,ot allowed the child to get within zach of scissors, pins, knives, etc., .f nprhaps if the child had not been ,lowpd to run across the room with an in her arms, she would not have hlen breaking the dolls eyes and b,rrg her own eyes cut by the broken Hts of glass. Many of these prevent abIe accidents can be avoided by us- mc 4 little care and ordinary common sense Not alone in the care of in- hpts but with adults engaged in or fnsry household employments as well little extra precaution will often pryent serious results from appar- |atlv trivial accidents. For example, eyes have been irreparably damaged b flying bits of glass from a broken hmbler; by tack flying into the eye in laying a carpet; from a small bit o lime falling from a broken ceiling from stOoping in a dark room and ltling the eye on the sharp corner q table or chair. In fact, the pos abilities of accidents of this sort are
 hnImerable, where a little less haste
 Fhaps, or a little extra care would
