How Days of Grace Originated.

According to the best accepted
version, the custom originated
in Venice in the fifteenth cen>
tury. A Hebrew money-lender
held the note of a Christian that
fell due OH Friday. The Chris
tan refused to pay on that day,
Or until the following Monday,
alleging the holy character of
the days as all excuse. He was
taken before the magistrate who
passed the matter on to the
Council, which decided the
Christian in the right, and fur
Their passed all edict that any note
falling due on Friday could be
lawfully paid as late as the fol-
lowing Monday without the
maker mourning the reproach of
not discharging his debts at the
proper time.
Thus originated the "three
days of grace" the custom being
kept up long after its signif-
canoe had been forgotten.

THE SAME CAT.

b. V. Wolf, agent of the North
German Lloyd Steamship Cons
pany i'll Middletown, N. Y, has a
cat that he has for months been
trying to get rid of. She has been
given to farmers who have taken
her miles away to their homes
time after time, but she has new
er failed to put i'll all appearance
again at the Wolf mansion, after
brief absences. The other day
Mr.. Wolf Went to New York; he
put the cat in a bag, and placed
it under the seat of the car.
When the train reached Sterling
ton, Mr.. Wolf dropped the cat
out of the window. Sterlineton
is forty miles from Middletown.
Mr.. Wolf transacted his business
in New York and Went home.
This was OH Tuesday. When he
went home to supper on Thurs
day night and sat down by his
hearthstone there 7oas the same
cat. She got up, rubbed herself
on her masters legs, and purred
in way that showed how she
appreciated his little joke. Wolf
sat down and seemed dazed for a
minute, Then he stroked the
cat fondly, but respectfully, and
said, "You can stay here as long
as you live if it's a hundred
years. I'll get a gold collar for
you and tie it full of red ribbons.
Pussy, you're a dandy"

Truth Without Frills.

The man who buries his talent
kills himself.
A soft answer will win where
a club would fail.
A fool empties his head every
time he opens his mouth.
If some men had a bulldog S
teeth they would Guido him in
biting.
Many a man who is anxious
to reform the world has gate
that is hanging by one hinge.
At least one woman in five be-
lieves that if she had been in
Ewes place Adam would be in
the garden yet.
The world is not dying be,
cause there is not more preach
ing, but because there is SO little
practice.-RaWs Horn.

Here is hint to Edenton bust
ness men. An exchange wants
to know what makes one town
grow into a city while others
with equally good locations re-
main villages. 1t is because in
the one case there are men of
push and energy who are not
afraid to spend their time and
money to improve the town.
They erect substantial buildings,
organize stock companies, estab-
lish factories, work for public
improvements and use every
means in their power to induce
people to locate in their town.
They tell the advantages of their
town wherever they chance to be,
they write about it i'll every let
ter, they send their home paper
to every relative, when a friend
comes to visit at their home they
treat him with such kindness
that he falls in love with them
and the town at once.

Girls, you must remember that

to fill sphere where you can not
paint eatable loafs of bread, allay
thirst by a song, lull a hungry
man to sleep with a sonata, no
matter how we'll it is executed,
or dance your partner into good
humor if his dessert was princi-
pally dough. All accomplish
ments are desirable, but nohe are
more essential than practical
knowledge Of household duties,
this is one of the essentials in
your education that is of pri>
mary, not secondary, Importance.
and no young Woman's education

Tho Dog Hold. Himself.

There is dog owner In Philadelphia
who tells story concerning his canine
companion that tries the belief OF his
friends. despite the fact that he vouch-
es for It's truth. The dog is an intelli-
gent-looking animal. Of the shepherd
variety. and is frisky and full of fun
The particular trait OF which its mas
ter boasts is that when he wants the
animal TO stay in one place 1t is not
necessary to tie him up. All that is nee
essary is to fasten one end of rope to
a convenient post and give the other
end to the dog to hold In its mouth. The
patient animal will sit for hours in
this way. and would no more run away
than he would fly.
