The toll roads once so numerous all
over the country are gradually but
surely becoming free public highways.
The toll system was recognized as a
necessity of earlier times, but the
modern spirit will not submit to the
restrictions involved in being com
PEELED to pay tribute to private wi
ership. Yet the toll road has by no
means entirely disappeared, and it is
found even in close proximity to big
and prosperous cities. Cleveland, o.,
one of the foremost towns in the
state, is moving to secure the aboli-
ton of 10 miles of toll roads in Cuya-
hoga county, in which Cleveland is
located. Rensselaer, county some years
ago threw open its tollgates, and can
lay claim to rank among the most
progressive communities in the EN-,
pire state,

Another Canal project.

EiiNANSA CatAai ENelSNAs
Another caanl project is to be men
toned. Germany in the Keil channel
has a waterway by which she al
shift her warships from the North sea
to the Baltic or vice versa at will, and
she is also developing her interior sys-
TEN, showing she is giving attention
to the needs of peace and commerce
as well as those of wal and national
defense. High officials in England
have suggested the ACCESSIBILITY Of
constructing a canal from the Clyde
to the Forth for the use of battleships.
1t appears, says Troy Times, there is
a feasible channel of about 30 miles,
and all that is needed is dredging the
bottom, which is of soft sand. It is
asserted that the canal can be so con
trived that the tides will scour it and
thus prevent it from being filled up
again, wherein a great advantage will
be scored over many other similar
canals, including the Suez, where
there has to be constant fighting to
maintain a proper depth of water.
What England will do is not an
nounced, but this multiplicity of canal
undertakings must impress the OBJ
server. The United States is in the
lead in such matters, and it is typical
of its spirit that all of the works now
under way are intended primarily for
purposes of peace and to facilitate
commerce.

BY MRS. CHURCH..
Cashier of Bank of Joplin. Mo.

@1HE qualification of a woman in occupying official positions in
a bank are many.
The first prerequisite for any bank official is that of ab3o-
~ lutte honesty, and believe l am justified in saying that
$500 women, rs a rule, possess this qualification in a very marked
degree.
ENNf4A Sterling integrity is most certainly another qualification
kkW&S for the bank official; and right here again l claim for woman
AekE1 that she possesses this qualification in its highest form. As
a rule women are reared and trained to bear themselves above
reproach, and few of them would condescend to do anything that would
lower them in the estimation Of their friends or acquaintance or in the
business world.
We all cannot be bright, we all cannot be wise and sagacious, but we
all can, if we will, be faithful; and to be faithful in the performance of
the duties imposed upon a bank official is one of the qualifications abso-
lutey essential, and surely no one will deny it that of all the quaifca-
tons that a woman possesses that of faithfulness is her highest and best.
To be afabe, polite, civil, courteous is most essential for a bank Off
cml, especially one who comes in contact with the customers of the bank,
tic, and that it is exceedingly hard and unusual for her to be otherwise
than afable, polite and extremely courteous to all with whom she comes
in contact.
If time permitted I could give other qualifications that woman pos
s@es to make her a good and safe officer of a bank, but l will mention
in conclusion just one other, and that is, I believe, peculiar to herself. [
speak of a womans intuition; andwhle l speak Of ii and dare to call it
perhaps her chief asset in business life, yet | acknowledge my inability
to describe or anayze it. A woman seems to have the power to divine
the purpose that actuates or the inincerty lurking behind an aGabe
smile or cordial %handshake, and having this power of dscernment she
declines what many men would accept, and what would and has been

Remains bographer tells us that to the last he was still questioning
tlp universe, still asking what was the meaning of things and how they
came to pass. Without curiosity the scholar would lose half his interest
AMI the thinker would fail by the way. 1t ii this instinct which makes a
man wish to get at the bottom of things. If it be the affairs of his neigh

dies within a man achievement is hopeless and hope itself is dead.
Curiosity may be a valuable asset in the equipment of a professional
man. Without it the parish clergyman never will have an intimate knowl
edge Of the affairs Of his people, for he never will take the trouble to learn
them. What he is told he almost certainly will forget, while a touch of
curiosity will store up every piece of information and watch every pass

Features Of Seutari.

Scutari contains the chief barracks;
also, the ancient Durying ground, which
is regarded as holy. Nearly all the
good Mohammedans wish to find their
last resting place here. The most plaus-
ible cause for this desire although
somewhat in doubt, is the subcon-
scious thought that sometime all Mus
Inns will be driven out of Europe. This
cemetery, like the numerous others,
shows an anomalous irreverence for the
dead. They are unkept, uninclosed, in
disorderly array, tombstones at every
angle of inclination. and so thick that
the bodies must have been buried over

doubtless due to the inclement weather.

perhaps to show to advantage under

times,nothing but harmany, order
and beauty can come into our en-
vironment.
A tlady asked why it was that
when her attitude was SO good, she
still had SO many irritating and
distressing things to encounter.
She spoke of her time of silence,
how sure she was of Gods pres
ence, how strongly she realized the
Great Spirit of Love, and yet, af-
ter one of these uplifted and up
lifting times, she would go forth to
day filled with petty meannesses
of others, a day that seemed to
lack harmony in every respect. If
she had taken the realization of
her silence into her work, this
spirit of love, Gods presence with
her, would have baptized and
blessed everything with its own
glory and her day would have been
one of peace.
1t is the exercise of the con-
sciousness of the principles of life,
that keeps life pure and sweet and
holy and servicable.
Inward peace expresses itself in
outward joy. If we enter upon
our duties with consciousness of
this peace we will have the delight
and freshness and hope fulness of
a child and bring everybody
around us into this same cheerful,
vigorous mood. The practical val
