While the Richardson Market
has passed into new hands, our
main object will be to maintain
the high standard which this
market has rightfully enjoyed for
so many years. To do this we
shall at all times have in stock
the best quality of goods on the
market at prices as low as con-
sistent with the times, and by
strict attention to business and
fair dealing with all, we hope to
retain the same confidence of our
patrons as our predecessors have
so long enioyed.

| Speaking of parsons makes the Med
der think of some pretty good things
which were said by local divine in
his Sunday sermon. The subject on
which he held forth was home mis-
sionary work preparatory to loosening
the purse strings of the congregation
for forthcoming collection, and the
phase of the work which he discussed
was the need of broad minded labor in
the country towns throughout New
England. AS examples of the narrow
ness of some church members and So
called Christians he related incidents
which had happened to him when Wis
iting country parishes. At one place
he was told that a certain doctor was
an atheist because 'his wife was a
Uniyersalist and played cards, and
in another town minister preached
a scathing sermon on the dancing
of Herodias' daughter because the
superintendent of the Sunday school
had attended dancing party the
night before There is more of this
bigCtry than some people have any
idea and it is not wholly confined to
the small towns either 1t seems to be
the one ambition of some preachers to
paint hell fire and damnation in such
realistic colors that the congregation
will come to the front of the church in
fear that the back seats will catch fire
There was an illustration of it in Brat
tleboro not long ago when application
was made to the school committee to
do away with the High school recep-
ton because there was dancing.

THE MEDBL2ER.
"B the coat fits put it on"

\ local parson had occasion last Sun
day to refer to the church in Guilford
and, being ignorant of the likes and
dislikes of the Guilford people, termed
that village Algiers. or course the
parson did not mean to speak of the
village in any disrespectful way but
unknowingly he used a name which
rankles in the hearts of the inhabi-
tants In the early part of the 10Th
century when the fever of silk manu-
facture burned so many peoples peck
ct books large number of silk worms
were secured by Guilford people and
an effort made to give the industry a
footing in that town. In fact the
scheme went so far that silk mill
was built. As northern Africa was
the home of the silk worm and quaint
ties of the cloth were made in Algiers,
the capital of Algeria, the village of
Guilford was nicknamed after the AT
rican metropolis. Nothing ever came
of the venture, however, except the
name which has hung on ever since
despite the efforts of the Guilford peo-
Pile to have it forgotten.

the dressmakers' decorative schemes, and,

even greater than they have enjoyed during
the summer.
Velvet will be the trimming par excellence

Children and KISSING

Children should be carefully instructed
and have 1t early impressed upon their
minds to give and receive kisses only to and
from those they love and who love them
Even then some restraint is obligatory
upon adults who are not perfectly well and
in the case of man who uses tobacco.
Children and adults are alike subject to
contagious and infectious diseases from
kissing, and this possibility should be eau
tion against the fashion of promiscuous
kissing. Several cases of smallpox resulted
from this indiscrminate kissing of a lady
who was thought to be only slightly ailing.
Do not express your sympathy for the
sick by kissing. Parents should never allow
their children to be kissed by strangers, and
children should be prohibited from kissing
each other.
Influenza or the epidemic form of catarrh-
al fever is undoubtedly tranferred from
one child to another oftentimes by the
contact of kissing. Scarlet fever, measles,
chickenpox, whooping cough, mumps and
diphtheria are often communicated in this
Way.

more than he can appreciate. Now, the
way to keep a man is to make him love
you, but you must not love him too much.
Let him realize that he is secondary to
your dogs, your frocks, your books. When
he is with you be at your best and your
brightest, but when you show him a favor
make him feel 1t keenly. Write bright
charming notes to him, but never put I
love YOU on paper
But" answered the brunette, II am so
perfectly devoted to the man l love that
would trust him with anything. I would
write anything l felt. and am certain no
one but himself would see the letters
For my part" responded the blonde, II
always follow the advice of the French
diplomat who said Never write letter,
and never destroy a letter."
The brunette looked crestfallen. The
blonde looked sweetly judicial.
But the question still remains which is
most intense in feeling-the blue-eyed or
the black-eyed? Which can hold the affec-
tions of man the longest?
She Wears the Best
The brunette, undoubtedly. Although men
usually fall in love with women of the
blue eyes and fair hair much easier and
oftener than they do with brunettes the
blonde woman has not the power to hold
a mans affection that d black or brown
haired woman has. Then the dark beauty
is quite as charming at 40 as at 20, Otter

An interesting question concerning
blondes and brunettes is that of intensity
of feeling.
Every woman wants to know which can
hold the affections of a man the longest
the blonde or the brunette The vote is un-
doubtedly in. favor of the h ,nde as far as
holding the man goes, but in favor of the
brunette as far as the affections are con-
cerned.
Two positive types. the blondest of the
blondes and the darkest of the brunettes,
were discussing this subject
Said the blonde: You brunettes always
make the mistake of being too affectionate
and allowing your affection to express
itself In words as well as in actions You
convince man that he is the one object
In your life and all that you live for. He

1t is thought that the daughter of Herodi-

manded the head of John the Baptist on a
charger. was yellow haired-at any rate the
old masters picture her so. Most high-born
Jewish maidens had the blonde tint, and
nobody doubts that it was Delilahs blue

soft-hearted. black-bearded giant. Nine.
Simon was regal blonde. whose blue eyes
looked unfiinchingly at the guillotine when

the Paul veronese order. That is. they
had red-guld tresses. So was Paula de
Toulouse. a beautiful blonde who was fol-
lowed by so eager crowd of admirers
when she rode abroad that the aid of the
magistrate was required to preserve order
The woman who at present is playing
such prominent part in the history OF the
world-the Queen of England-is neither
blonde nor brunette; she belongs to the type
called chatain-a type which has the col
oring of both blonde and brunette: usually
fair skin. blue or gray eyes and dark
brown hair, so dark as to be almost black,
yet not Of that blue black which is the bTu-
nette's own. Queen Alexandra has strik-
ingiy beautiful blue eyes, soft. dark-brown
hair, and a complexion as clear as the day.
The marvellous retention of her youthful
beauty may be regarded as one of the
wonders of the age
Another royalty with blue eyes is thu

beautiful or intellectual, she is one of the
most popular of royalties because she is
