The origin of the word "news-
paper" is not, as many suppose, from
the fact of its containing new things
but in a former time Q795 to 1890
it was the custom to put over the |
periodical publications of the day |
the initial letters of the compass,
n. E. w. S., to show that the journal
mad information from all quarters
of the globe, north, east, west, south. |
Hence, the use of the word news"
before all papers of general inform
alton.
The Paper w eight.-This is the |
way an editor gets rid of perseyer-
ing "femnines" We gently, and |
as it were .unconsciously, pushed a
paper-weight toward the end of the
table where she sat. 1t attracted |
her attention directly. She looked |
at it, took 1t up, looked more ear
neStly, and then, laying it gently |
down, she calmly rose, gathered her
ample skirts about her, and straight
way took her leave, not even saying
goodbye. Certainly nothing was
further from our intention than to
give offense. We merely wished to
attract her attention to the paper
weight as a work of art. We regard
it as a fine work of art, and value
it solely for that reason; but the
effect it has on some visitors is re-
markable and inexplicable. 1t is
small slab of crystal, through which
may be seen a sketch representing
skeleton, surrounded by this legend:
This unfortunate editor was talked

I remember a kiss she gave me
While leaning 'gsinst the wall,
She FL led her lips 10 mine, and said,
"Yum, YUM" and that was all.
