H0W TO ENCREJSE CORRECTIONS.
 Hdw to increaee the size of the col lection is a burning question in many churches. That good and true old phrase "The Lord loveth cheerful siver" doesn't seem to have the power 1t ought to. The soft and alluring music that is played by the organist While the hat goes round doesn't allure enough, And the slow and careful passage of the hat doesn't change the careful mind of the gloomy Giver and induce him to become free and cheer full giver. In some churches the need of larger collections is so pressing that those who conduct the business of said churches are not particular about cheerful giving, so long as there is large giving. We invite the attention of the managers of such churches to way of increasing offerings" which has been invented by the Rev. Morgan Wood of Toronto. Brother Wood pre- sides over a Congregational church of limited means and much desire, and he has been greatly troubled by the small ness of the returns from the circulated hat. He means to have more and so he has instructed his gentlemanly ush- CTS as follows: Everybody here ought to put at least cents in the plate. Ushers, want to say something to you. Watch the people who don't put any collection on the plate. Watch them, look good and hard at them, shame them into it, and if they don't give they'll not come again, or if they do, they'll bring their money with them next time."
 That ought to do the business. Brother Wood is on solid ground Peo- pie who don't put something into the hat when they go to meeting shouldn't go. If they do they should be looked at good and hard" and we are not sure that if such looking at them fails it would not be right to hold them up in the vestibule when they go out and make a forcible collection of what is due from them.

lower court sustained the order and made it a continuing one. The Su- preme court in an opinion by Mir Jus tice Moore afllrms the decision of the lower court and issues process forever restraining the employe from using the secret formula of the sticky fly paper making firm.
 The court holds that the relation of the firm and it's employe was a conti- dential one, That while that relation continued the employe was intrusted with secrets which are and were the sole and exclusive property of the firm. Those secrets have tangible value and amount to possession as sacred as the possession of real estate. The employe had no more legal right to sell those secrets or to use them to injure the bus mess of the firm than he would have to sell it's real estate.
 This is sound doctrine. An employe has no more right to steal trade sec rets than he has to steal money

He bought violins here and there, and thus gradually educated himself in the characteristics or the productions of the various masters. He had an unerring ear for tone, which he cultivated until he came to be recognized as judge. By and by he left the oil trade, and devoted him self entirely to dealing in violins. A great number of the famous violins of the world passed through his hands. He had long in his possession the Allard Strad and the King Joseph. He all so had the Dolphin Strad, and he bought Ernsts Strad on his death, afterwards selling it to Lady Halle, who has 1t as cherished possession.
