People who are observant, havo been fre quently impressed by the practice of most drivers of horses on tho highways of fol lowing a rut pursuing It, until thoy wear n cut In a road deep enough to Blnk the wheels of vehicles below the fello ws. This could be avoided if all tho drivers would avoid running their vehicles In ruts, and the even wear of a road maintained. Evpry vehicle that Is run In ruts of roads, Is more or less injured by being wrenched In tho twists to which their wheels aro sub jected when conflDed lu such narrow limits. A very llttlo care In this matter would greatly add to tho preservation of the smoothness and beauty ot all highways. People who constantly run In ruts, become cranky nnd garrulous, nnd vehicles that run in tho same way on public highways, spoil tho road on which they aro wheeled, and become unsafe and unpleasant as means of conveyance. Don't pursue or drive in ruts. Ex. One More Frontlet. A MASSACHUSETTS MINISTEIt TO START AN OTHER SECT OF CHRISTIANS. Tho Rev. H. F.

Mr, Titus thinks that in the Ideal church, such as he proposes to found, there should be no rich, no poor; that tho members should glvo generously one to another; that they should take care of each other better than Free Masons or any simi lar society and that there should be no so. ciul distinctions among them. 1-tKlttHtrect.
