An inventive genius has gotten up
contrivance that ought to sell like
hot cakes, in church circles. 1t is in
the shape of contribution box, and is
a triumph in its way. The coins fall
through slots Of different sizes, and all
dollars, halves, quarters and dimes
laid on velvet, but the nickels and pen
MES drop OH a Chinese gong. 1t is
needless to say that it will never be
popular with the man who believes
&" Salvation's free" and practices it by
never patronizing the contribution
box.

against it 3. This gives fair majority
for annexation, with about 100000
feet of ground over and above what is
needed to carry the measure through.
The poor department of city is a
thing that is very expensive, as any
one will learn if present at a council
meeting when the bills for a month
come in. There is no doubt but that
much money is unworthily spent on the
poor of every city, but how to avoid it
is one of the problems that is hard to
solve. Many people are honest and
modest and do not ask for help that
