IS
NOT A BAD IDEA.

The new pastor of a Providence
church on Sunday told his congrega-
ton that he did not believe the pull
pit should be a bulletin board for all
of the latest happenings in the coun-
try, but that what the people want
ed to hear was the word of God and
nothing else. In view of the attitude
of so many of the clergymen of the
present day that minister is likely to
be considered out of style, but his idea
of the duties and responsibilities of
the position that he occupies seems to
coincide with common sense very close
ly. 1a
There have been all kinds of at
tempts to get out congregations by
dissertations that were not very close
ly related to religion, out while they
might draw as a novelty they have
very soon lost their grip. The ma
jority of people who 90. to church
want to hear the gospel preached, and
when they find that the Clergyman is
trying to tell them other things, some
of which they are much better fitted
by training and experience to discuss
than he is, they are apt to go some
where else or stay at home.
There is no question about the value
of the discussion of political and
economic questions in their place, but
there is grave doubt that that kind OF
effort should be allowed to occupy the
time and attention that the gospel de
serves. saas. #zr-

Upstairs and Down.

A tailor suggests whiskinG a black
skirt with strong coffee and ammonia
to remove dirt The skirt is first brush.
ed. Then 4 fresh whisk is dipped into
n cupful of strong coffee mixed with q
teaspoonful of ammonia, and with this
the skirt is brushed. The coffee should
be brushed over the skirt quickly. and
the brush should not hold too much OF
the liquid.
Ammonia, alcohol and water in equa
parts form good solution for cleaning
skirts. Ammonia, of course. must be
carefully used, as it damages some
cOlors. 1t can be sparingly tried OF
an inside seam or even on a little stretch
of the wrong side of the hem. If il
takes out the color alcohol and water
can be used instead. Naphtha is ob
jectionable because of its clinging odoI
and also because a skirt cleaned with
it cannot be ironed safely for many
hours.
When a skirt of black or other dark
colored material looks shiny from much
wear it can be rubbed with a solution
of boraX and water. This solution re
moves the glaze completely and can be
applied whenever the shine returns
BoraX, of course, might, like ammonia
have a disastrous effect on some colors
SO it. too, should be tried first on the
wrong side of the skirt.

OUR NEW JUDGE.

Governor Fletcher's appointment of
Frank E. Barber to succeed Will; I'M r..
Daley as municipal judgeof this town
will not be received with. widespread
approval in Brattleboro. This is not
said in disparagement of Mr.. Barber,
who is a worthy young man and will
no doubt attend to the duties OF the
position to the best of hiss ability. But
1T IS not to the credit of the governor
that he should turn down an official
whose record was clean and whose
satisfactory service was evinced by the
endorsement of practically all of the
business men of the town and a ma
jority of the lawyers who had occasion
to practice in his court. We wish Judge
Barber well in his new position and
trust that be win enjoy to the full
the honor that goes with the title.
Furthermore, we hope that if he
serves as, faithfully as Judge Daley

have been small for years and that the
change, if any, is slight. The truth is
that up until now the brimlesS hats
were really very large in size and had
to be padded or supported by a sep
arate cOronet to keep them from fall
ing down over the nose. 1t is claimed
by the designers that the fashion for
small hats which fit the head and do
not merely rest on it is due to the
constant use of the motorcar 10y large
number of women. In Europe, where
taXiS are so cheap, ii is not a luxury
for women TO ride to and fro on their
daily errands. In America. where taxis
are dearer than any other place in the
world for some unknown reason, the
mass of women cannot afford to ride,
but they take their cue in fashion from
those who do.
As soon as the comfort of the tiny
hat was discovered women adopted it
with enthusiasm. 1t has its defects
for it is too often chosen in its most
abbreviated shapes by the woman who
can least afford to wear it. \ tiny,
jaunty hat is not intended for the wo-
man with large, serious face or one
who does not fix her hair to fit the hat,
There are elements of comedy in a
small hat as there never could be in a
large hat. So beware! AS the season
advances one sees evidences Of the
larger hat bedecked With flowers, The
shape pictured is in this class carried
out in mahogany cOlored hemp with n
simple wreath of big OK eyed daisies
as the only trimming, if one omits the
streamer of black velvet that hangs al
| the back of the upturned brim.

An Appetizina Side Dish.

One cream cheese, gill of pure
cream, small jar of bar lie due jelly
and a little paprika may be made into
a charming little side appetizer for
a chatting dish party. First the cheese
and cream are beaten to a froth to
form a puffy cake almost filling a soup
dish; then a hole dug in its center is
filled with bar lie due. and finally the
entire surface is sprinkled with pa
prika. To write about it takes longer
than to make this side dish, but it lives
long in the memory of those who have
eaten Of it.

lidded mouth of generous size, into
which several pair of juvenile hands

plump body holds a surprising num-
Der of small favors. Its wicker han

COMMODITIES TEND DOWNWARD.

The movement towards a lower level
of prices on many leading articles of
which has been noticeable
for some time, was more strongly
marked during last week, there be-
ing 81 changes in the $40 quotations
received by Dun's Review, of which
Al were declines and only 20 advances
Aside from a sharp upturn in the price
of rubber, there was no advance of i'm
portance, although beans, eggs, oats,
jute, spices, coke, silk. and one or two
varieties of raw hides were slightly
firmer. On the other hand, butter de-
clined substantially and cheese was
easy, while live meats, provisions,
grain and flour displayed a weakening
tendency. Little or no change appear
ed in hides and, except as above men
toned, quotations were held with diff
ficulty. Iron and steel showed further
evidence of weakness, especially pig
iron, and there was less disposition to
pay premiums for prompt deliveries of
the finished products. There was a
slight hardening in tin, but declines
appeared i'll all other = minor metals.
