The, Decay of Books.

M: Delisle, the principal librarian ut
the Bibliotheque Rationale in Paris,
warns us that our modern literature is
destined to perish. OF the 1000 and
and old volumes PIT blished annually in
France, not one he thinks will remain
after certain time Cheap paper is
a splendid thing in it's way. but this is
the price we must pay for it. Old
fashioned paper made from rags has
stood the fest of hundreds of years, as
the many fine specimens Of fifteenth
century printing show, to say nothing
OF still earlier books in manuscript.
Noyadays.however. paper is made OF
all sorts of MARTIAL Of more or less
perishable character. In particular,
as NJ. Delisle points out, books printed
on paper made from wood pulp soon
begin to rot away. At first the pages
are covered with yellow spots, and
these are replaced in course Of time by
holes. Even so-ca.ed handmade pa
pers are often no more durable. being

OBSCURE PRESCRIPTION.
Doctors Should Be Careful to Say
What They Mean.


What They Mean.
A. prescription written by we'll
known physician in New York recently.
says the New York Tribune, gave the
followi: -: directions: First day take
three pills at intervals of an hour; sec
ond day take two pills at intervals OF
an hour; third day take one pill and
then stoo.'
This is certainly obscure. and as a
matter of fact the wording of the pro
scription came near causing serious
trouble. The direction for the third
day would be likely, of course, to make
any one pause to consider what was
meant by the whole. but, if that last di-
rection had not been given it would
have been easy for some people to in
terpret the directions as take three
pills every hour during the first day
and two pills every hour during the
second day" What was meant, OF
course, was that three pills We're to be
taken on the first day. one pill at a
time, with an hour between every pill.
two pills on the second day, one at a
time, with an hour between each, and
one pill only on the third day.
But there certainly was danger in
the directions to people who were Ell
Their not quick to grasp point or
were careless in following the whole
meaning. Suppose, for instance, some;
one had undertaken to read the direc-
tons on the installmcnt plan. so to
r speak-that is, suppose he had thought
''Sut1icient> to the day is the evil there.
Of" and had considered that it would
be time enough to study the directions
for the second day when the second
day came. Then he might have taken
three pills every hour for twenty-fo,r
hours, and the coroner could have done
the rest.
But to be serious, it is desired here
to impress upon physicians that no
room should be left for doubt as to
their meaning and upon those who read
the directions of physicians prescrip.
tons that they should read the whole
carefully, and then hesitate if they are
in doubt.

In the case somewhere.
The defense has subpenaed several
witnesses from Hot Springs, where the
goods were stolen, and the develop
ments will naturally bring the public
nearer to the actual theft, which was
no part of the case against Chase.
Testimony Introduced.
The first witness called yesterday
was U. ID. Creger, express messenger
of the Northern Pacific Express Com
pany, who testified to having received
the package containing the stolen
goods from Chase at the Tacoma hotel
Monday forenoon about 10:40 o'clock.
The charges were 35 cents, and Chase
gave him so cents, telling him to keep
the change, but be sure and have
enough to pay with. When he asked
Chase the value of the package the lat
ter told him it was laundry and had no
particular value.
IL. IL. Kachlein, a jeweler, testified
that he had several times fixed a watch

lie had not kept a memorandum of the
watch number. The works were worth
Sl5, the same as Mr.. joys and the
latters watch complete had been worth
$35.
Dr. Ross was put upon the stand
His testimony was merely repetition
OF the Interview published in the
Ledger several days ago. He told of
coming to Tacoma last Sunday from
hot Springs. He slept in Chase's
room that night at Chilberg's, but
Chase did not occupy the room,
as expected. During the night
he awoke long enough TO
see that Chase was in the room with IA
policeman. His testimony was posi-
tive that he had not gone 10 the Taco
ma hotel until about I1:30 O'Clock.
He Is accused of going to Chase's room
III the Tacoma before breakfast that
morning and to have given Mr.. Chase
the package when the latter
came back from breakfast.) He had
been with Chase in the morning and
went to the Tacoma by appointment
with Chase. He gave in detail the
conversation with Dunning and Chase
when they visited him in the
Seattle Jail and tried to
make him admit having given the
package to Chase. At that time, when
alone with Chase, the latter told him if
he would only account for giving him
(Chase) the package it would get them
both out of trouble aud they would be
happy.
