/" naNs of Grace y

The passage OF an act by the State Sen
ate a Jefferson abolishing the three days
of grace. says the st. Louis G'Obc- Demo
cra', recalls to mind the fact that this
custom dates from almost the origin Of
banking, and had its beginning III a very
queer incident. According to the best
accepted version, the custom originated
in Venice in the fifteenth century. \ He
brew money-lender held the note of a
Christian for a loan which fell due on
Good Friday. The Christian refused to
pay on that day, or until the following
Monday, alleging the holy character of
the days rs an excuse. He was taken
before a magistrate, who passed the mat
ter on to the council, which decided the
Christian in the right, and further passed
an edict that any note falling due on 4
Friday could be lawfully paid As late -
the following Monday without the maker
of the note incurring the reproach Of not
dischaTging his debts AT the proper time.
Thus originated the three days of grace,
the custom being kept up long after the
significance had been forgotten.

Rules For Beauty.

There are three things that give q
woman perfect form, movement and dis
position. Resolved into rules, they are
rs follows Don't fret, keep clean, and,
finally, keep supple. 70 keep supple a
woman must begin by breathing right;
then she must walk with her muscles
instead OF her bones; and lastly, she
must exercise regularly.
The best way to keep clean is to rub
: nice, soft cream into your skin before
taking bath, and then take that bath
just as hot a. possible. The cream feeds
the skin and the not water cleanses and
softens il.
The way TO keep from frett;ng i to
pat your thoughts upon something else
than yourself, and above AL to have an
Interest o- object in life. No woman
need fear old age il she has lived up to
these ralcs.-Ne,O Yark IT0HL.

General Beaver Rich Again.

When James A. Beaver was elected
Governor of Pennsylvania in lSS6, he was
a rich man. Before his term was year
old he had involved himself for liabilities
for which he was responsible only rs a
member of company. At the end of his
term he was almost impoverished, and
was known among his intimate friends as
| the poor Governor.
Now, Ex-Governor Beaver has paid of
almost the last penny of the amounts he
assumed, and in short time viii be worth
probably S50O.Oo0 if the investments
which he carried through adversely turn
out * prosperous Is now indicated. Gen
eral Beaver was the president and direc
tor in the Bellefonte iron and nail works,
which was a paying plant until the intro
! duction of machinery for making wire
nails. Then the plant became worthless.
General Beaver gave his salary as Gov
ernor and the money he made rs a lawyer
TO keep the concern out of the depths of
ruin, and though his efforts were his best
and tireless, a crash came, that made
nearly S3000OO liabilities for the com

of that large amount himself, and in the
paying>off of il he has been helped by
other members OF the company TO the ex-
tent of only about Sl00,O00.
The Ex-Governor owns some large coal
interests in Cleariield county, and he has
kept his mines in operation whereverpos-
sible. He has also, in Wells county, Col,
possession of much agricultural land,
parts of which he was able to sell at good
advantage. He now has control Of
patent for making timed plates cheaper,
it is alleged, than anything discovered,
and he is building at Bellofonte Il plant

EZ-Confederate and Mexican Veterans Pre-
ferrea to Union Soldiers.


The House of Representatives, on Mon
day, passed bill increasing the pension
allowed all survivors of the Mexican WaT
and of all Indian wars, for which pen
sions have been provided by statute to a
minimum rate Of SD month each. The
only survivors of Indian wars now pen
siOnable are those who took part i'm lndi-
an wars in the South, and the survivors
Of the Mexican War who are drawing
pensions are almost entirely Southern
men, including several Democratic mem
bers Of Congress.
These men are pensioned merely be-
cause they enlisted for sixty days, and
each one is to get at least SD a month
pension. The Democratic Congress has
now considerably agreed by its commit
tees that the lowest rate Of pension for
Union veterans shall bc 81 4 month, or
one-half the amount allowed 10 the cx-
Confederates who survived little sauab-
bles with the Indians, or who enlisted for
the Mexican war without getting any
where near Mexico. The number of per-
sons now drawing pensions because of
the Mexican War exceeds by large
number the total number of American
soldiers who ever crossed the Mexican
line.
Despite the bankrupt condition Of the
Treasury, the bill the House has passed
To increase the pensions of ex-Confeder-
