/ . _ A Publishers' Clearing Mouse. The establishment of a publishers' Clearing house was discussed at Friday's session of the Convention of the National Association o: Newsdealers, liook Sellers and Stationers, in New York. A resolution was adopted reciting that the book publishers had greatly benefited the trade by adopting and maintaining standard prices for books and urging the association to.es-' tablish in this city a publishers' clearing house for the convenience of both local and country dealers. The conventlion urged the increase of the price ck the peny morning newspapers on the ground that it was impossible for the dpnlprs to make a living out of morn.ng newspapers, which they have to buy at 0 cents a hundred and sell at a c^nt each. The publishers of the New York city morning papers were asked to increase their ratail price to 2 cents and V to furnish the papers to dea'.e s at 51.10 a hundred. Sharps and Flats.

Crossing knives at table originally meant bad lack. The original knife used at the table was nothing less than tbe dagger which all men wore in their . belts, ready either for carving the muttfrn or for cutting throats. In the dav^ when private quarrels were always fought out with dagger or sword ?and that is not eo very long ago?the , very beginning of a dispute made the womenfolk nervous for their husbands, brothers or sons concerned in the argument. That crossing of blades was the i sure sign of a fight, and It's no wc ler ; the women found crossed knives sug- ' gested misfortune. Spilling the salt meant once the worst of bad luck. Salt i was until quite recently very expensive. a dear necessity, as it is today [ among the natives of India. The very , phrase "worth his salt" means "worth his wages." The word salary means salt-money. Because it was so import- j ant olden usage placed the salt box in ] the middle of the table, that all hands j might be within reach. The family and the guests sat "above the salt." the servants "below the salt." and so the difference of rank was created between "gentle" and "simple." Such being the importance of the salt box. the upsetting of it was something more, than | an accident. It was an event. But sup- j pose that the guest of the house, or the j ambassador from foreign parts, upset j the salt, it was taken as a sign that he betrayed the "bread and salt" of hospitality, turned against the hand ' that fed him, and was only in this . house as a spy to betray its master, j The spilling of salt was taken as a providential warning*)f coming attack/ j of danger, drawing near the house. That is why it became a sign of bad , KICK. Didn't Keep Office Long. Miss Mattle Heals, the telephone operator at Wichita. Kan., who drew sec- 1 ond choice of the homesteads in Jhe j new Kiowa and Comanche country, was appointed city marshal of Lawton. The report comes that she has resign- : ed after one day's term of office. Miss Boat is a self-reliant young woman. | who expects to prove her claim by fourteen months' residence, but she found official life in the mushroom j city" too strenuous.The criminal record ' for the day included two men killed. J one seriously wounded, a robbery of i $1,000 and numerous thefts. In speaking of automobile for'use in the Boston fire department Commis- j cinnar- Unccnll rPfOrtlv 51 i ! t r? .1 new.-5- ' paper reporter that while he had watched the development of the automobile he was not yet convinced than the machines have reached a degree of perfection to warrant buying them lor the department. "I don't know that automobiles are any less reliable than horses." said he. "but I think there is a time to adopt them later. The city experimented with an automobile in another department. 1 watched the experiment with interest and was not sitisfled tnat the machine would be adopted to our needs." "Gracious!" cried the little mosquito. "Just look at me. I'm turning blue." "That's what you get for biting those aristocrats." said the mother mosquito, who had vast experience.
