A motion to dissolve the temporary in- junction restraining J. c. Kyle from using the word Perfection" as applicable to mattresses, was argued and submitted in the chancery court yesterday, Chancellor Carmichael reserving his decision
 The question is a pretty one, and involves the right to use trade mark.
 Some days ago the Perfection Mattress company, which has built up an extensive business, was granted a temporary injunc- ton restraining J. c. Kyle from using the words "The Kyle Perfection Mattress" claiming the use of the word '.Perfection'' was an infringement upon its business.

CHURCH AND SHOPS.

and Religion.
There is probably no stranger place
"a worship in this kingdom than is to
se met within the little country town
uf Richmond in Yorkshire. Trinity
church. which stands in the market
place there, is a perfect example or
what a church ought to be, as far as
the edlfice itself goes, says Golden
Penny. The nave of the church Is ac-
tualiy divided from the tower by a
dwelling house, while the chancel has
disappeared altogether! The south
aisle has been destroyed and in the
arches that separated it from the rest
of the building there have been in
serted windows to give light to the
church's nave! But even this desecra-
tion-bad as it isis nothing COM
pared to what the north aisle has suf-
fered, for that has actually been di-
vided into two stories, and the lower
story has been again split up into
various tenements, now occupied as
shops. Thus the visitor gazes with
mingled feeling of wonder and annoy
ance at the strange spectacle OF to-
bacconist, tailor, butcher and 9TH
ers carrying on their trades in the
house of prayer itself, so to speak.
Below, the windows are full of all
kinds Of merchandise; above, there
are the STORED windows rightly light
What a medley! This Trinity church
is very old. 1t goes back at least as
far as Norman days. 1t contains
curious and ancient curfew bell. The
part of the church above the shops has
in recent years been used as a place
for keeping the wills of the north rid
ing and as consistory court. Tht

changes and curious uses has the
church been subjected to almost all
through it's career. For here the SEES
sions used to be held and all business
Of the corporation was transacted here
until 1859. In fact ii would seem that
so many secular uses had the church
served, even up to that time, that the
people had almost forgotten that 1t was
a church at all, since services were not
held in it for many years. In the mid
die of last century it was leased to a
barber, and was mentioned as the
waste land of Trinity church." Later,
however, proper attention began to be
paid to the disgraceful state of affairs
respecting it, and the place was re-
stored and again used for service. The

ALICIA'S EXPERIMENT,

Alicia Wellington was 26 years old,
and she had never received an offer of
marriage nor had a lover. Her two
younger sisters were both happily
married-Gertrude to q young man
who had adored her from childhood,
and Lottie to an elderly widower who
had fallen in love with her at her
coming-out party. Gertrude had re-
fused three offers before marrying
John Nelson; Lottie. who was born
a coquette, had received homage from
almost every man she knew FROM the
time she could talk.
Alicia was serious and rather
naughty. Her friends called her "in-
tellectual," and this same intellect
uality made her unpopular with men,
who were generally her interiors in
her chosen style Of conversation II not
in depth of thought. Until now Alicia
had affected to despise the other sex.
Lottie'S fiirtations and Gertrude's con-
quests had seemed frivolous 20 her.
But she wished to be a well-rounded
woman, and it suddenly occurred to
her that she knew nothing of love, al
though II was one of the chief things
of life. The fact that she was differ
ent from other girls and their in
ferior in one respect was brought
home to her by meditation on love
and matrimony which followed the
receipt of a letter announcing the en-
gagement of the only unmarried one
of her classmates. To be sure, Alicia
was younger than the other girls, but
she had come out the same year.
1T is all very we'll not to marry
she said to herself in conclusion, but
1t is odd not to attract single sutton.
There must be something lacking in
me- have always known that l didn't
like men, but it is strange that men
don't like me. l can accomplish al
most anything if l make up my mind

marry him, of course, but | will have
him desperately in love with me, so
that shall have an impassioned offer;
then l will refuse him."

Not SuperstitIous.

Even ancient superstltions are not
respected by the modern woman OF
fashion. She has herself photographed
in her wedding dress before she is mar
ried, has her trousseau marked with
her new initials instead of her maiden
name, and otherwise flies in the face
of traditions which, to her grandmoth-
er, were sacred because Of their very
antiquity, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
At the present moment the most ia
vored gem for mounting as a charm
is the opal, the stone banned for years
as an omen of bad fortune to the wear
err. Now you find opals in the rough,
as well as polished, being mounted in
almost every style for wear on neck
chains or on bangles. There is only
one other stone which can rival them
in popularity, and that is the pale

q suitable man for her experiment.
Finally she chose Reggy De Greve.
Reggy was a year younger than Alicia.
He was as frivolous as any girl, and
decidedly effeminate in his looks and
ways. He had been one of Lottie's
numerous admirers, in an impressive
way, but he had never gotten up cour-
age to propose to her. He had not
been sure that he wanted to do so.
Now he came to the house rather be-
cause he was used to coming to see
1.-THE ladies'" once in so often. Alicia's
mother was fond of him, for she had
known him since he was in dresses,
and she regarded him as boy. OF
Alicia he stood somewhat in awe.
"Reggy will be a good one to begin
with" thought the young woman.
HE will be easy to influence. After
! have refused him can try some one
more difficult"
Thus Miss Wellington began her
career as a flirt. That evening Reggy
came to the house. He found Alicia
wonderfully interesting. She talked
about cotillon figures, pretty girls,
Judges and golf. Reginald was in de-
mand as a cotillon leader, he was a
chevalier des danes, an expert chatting
dish cook, and an inspiring golf player
"Gwacious, never thought she
knew so much" he said to himself, as
he left the house. But this was only
because Alicia had displayed knowl-
edge of the subjects with which Reggy
was eonversant, for he had always
known that she was intellectual"
1t was scarcely a week before Reggy
again presented himself at the We'll
lingtons. He asked for Miss Yelling
ton, instead of for "the ladies'" He
was unconscious Of the neglect of Mrs
wellington, but wary Alicia smiled
when she, alone, was summoned to the
drawing-room.
20. Mr.. De Greve," she said-hereto-
fore she had called him Reggy-"I
know you can help me solve something
that has been worrying my poor
BRAIN"
She took a seat beside the young
man and submitted her Something"
that had been worrying her. II was
only a charade, an intricate one, how
ever, to which Alicia knew the answer.
Reggy did not suspect that he was
good at puzzles. He solved this one
easily, and explained the elaborate
process to Miss Wellington.
Thank you, Mr.. De Greve, you are
so clever" said Alicia, exactly as she
had heard Lottie say the same words
to different men at least a hundred
times.
That evening as Reggy went away
his predominant thought was, She
thinks me clever"
In the course of time Alicia con-

also convinced him that he was clever,
witty and manly. Indeed, under the
sun of her approval he grew wonder
fully until he was quite a different
Reggy.
At last the schemed-for proposal
took place. Satisfied with himself, and
much more than satisfied with the ac-
complished Alicia. Reggy asked her
to be his wife. Alicia foresaw the
coming offer, of course. She made
ready to refuse 1t. She even chose her
next victim, William Giles, a lawyer of
skill and renown. He would be diff
cult to enthrall, but a foeman worthy
of her steel.
But she did not think OF William
when Reggy proposed. She watched

love you. Yes, will marry you, after
all--yes, yes l will"
The happy Reggy did not notice the
peculiar wording of Alicia's acceptance
of his heart and fortune. He had won
her, and his joy seemed complete. No
one but his wife ever knew that he
had been the subject of an experiment.
