THE DECAY OF BooKBINDINGs

| THE DECAY OF BOOKBINDINGS. Book-lovers whose books have been | covered in leather within the past forty i years will find some rather unpleasant reading in the report of the Society of | Arts Committee on Leather for Book | binding. They will learn, among other | things, that books bound during the | last eighty or hundred years showed | far greater evidence of deterioration than those of an earlier date-many
 recent bindings showed evidence of de-
 cay after so short period as ten. or even five years; that there is ample justification for the complaint that modern leather is not so durable as that formerly used" and that "the de- terioration becomes more general on books bound after 1880, while some feathers seem to be generally good un- til about 1860, after which date nearly all feathers seem to get worse.' This information is bound to have a sad dening effect on collectors who in re- cent years have spent much money in dressing their treasures in leather
 bindings, for the authorativeness of the
 report is beyond question. It is rec
 ord of the research and sta tement of
 the conclusions of almost score of ex-
 perts-blnders, librarians, leather mak-
 CTS and chemists-divided into sub
 committees to deal with the subject in
 it's different phases
 But while the committee feels itself
 bound to chronicle the tion, it
 does not despair of establishing
 something like the old standard of
 quality in bookbnding feathers. If 1t
 would be incorrect to say that there Is
 balm in Gilead, it is at least literally
 true that there is hope in sumach as a
 tanning agent. The causes of deterio-
 ration are primarily unsuitable tanning agents and the destruction of the fibre of the skin through excessive thinning of the leather; and means of remedy ing these defects are suggested in the
 report. The committee came to the conclusion that "a pure sumach tan mage will provide good and durable leather, and that leather may be pro- duced which will prove as durable as any made in the past' They also sat isfed themselves that it is possible to test any leather in such way as to guarantee its suitability for bookbind- ing, though they have not yet decided as to the desirability of esta blshing formal or official standard. So that 1t would appear that In future book -lov- CTS may depend on having their books covered in leather that will last at least as long as the works of the early bibliopegists which are. now so much esteemed.
 The quality of the material is not, however, responsible for all the deterio- ation; the bookbnder and the librar- ian are called upon to share the blame. So far as the binder is concerned, no fewer than five contributory causes due to modern methods, are specified; and in order to remove these causes

CHICAGO'S BANK GIRLS.

Woman has taken another step for ward, this time in Chicago In that city thirteen girls have just been em- ployed in a bank. Thirteen is an omi- 1 nous number, but perhaps it will not be found to be unlucky in this case, ex- cept for the young men who are not occupying the good places which the thirteen girls are. It is in the savings department that the girls are installed, and they are paid the same wages as
 men. The cashier who has brought
 them there says that they are satisfac-
 tory. We have found" he testifies,
 that girls excel in this kind of work. There is so much. small detail about that part of the business (savings) that 1t Is not suitable to men, The girls are so painstaking with trif1es, so punctual and so discreet that we are sure they will make a great success of this work"
 "Painstaking with tri1es, punctual and discreet" is pretty large compI- ment, but we have no doubt it is fully merited. and we expect to hear more of the success of the Chicago bank girls. It is decidedly appropriate that they should be taking part in arrangements designed to help men save money

MORE HdZARDO LIS.

The death of Rees E. Thomas, Utica lawyer, has been followed by an inter- esting lawsuit and an interesting de- cision MT. Thomas held $5 ,000 policy in the Masons' Fraternal Accident As- sociation. It contained a proviso that if he were killed while engaged in a more hazardous occupa ton" than the practice of law the beneficiary under the policy should get $1,000, and no more. One day MT. Thomas went out shooting. In the woods he stood his gun up against a tree. It fell down and sent a bullet through his heart. His widow demanded the $5,00o. The Acci- dent Association refused to pay it. She brought suit The jury gave her yer dict for the full amount The Associa- tion appealed. The Appellate court tells Mrs Thomas tha. it's a choice for her between $1 ,OOO. and nothing. ''The de- fendant claims says MT. Justice Rum sey for the court that as Thomas, at the time of his death wound was en- gagged in hunting for pleasure, and was actually exposed to the risks incident

IMPORTANT IF TRUE.

What is truth? said testing Pilate, and if he were living nowadays he wouldn't know any better than he did in his own days. It has seemed to be true that mans vermiform appendix is a useless appendix. Big scientists have said SO and both big and little scientists have dealt with it as if it were useless, or worse than useless. But now comes leading surgeon of Denver and makes a mild stir by the positive statement that the verm.form appendix has a function to perform that it belongs to mans anatomy and was not dropped in by chance or in a haphazard way. This surgeon advanc- es the theory that the appendix has secretory function, serving as lubri- cant to the great intestines, and that any interference with it must be at tended by sickness and in many in- stances multitude of disorders, some of which may prove fatal
 This is important if true, and it may be true. If 1t should happen to be true some distinguished surgeons owe the despised and cutoff appendix an apolo-

THE PREsID EN1,s CONDITION.

The reports concerning the condition of the President were favorable during yesterday and last night, and it was also announced that these favorable re- ports were not in any way exaggerated. But of course it is too soon to have any certainty about the ultimate outcome, and the shocked and saddened people of the United States can only continue to hope and pray that the life of their beloved President may be spared. His temperate life, his strong mind, his courage and his faith in God are much In his favor, and he has had and is having as good human help as there is.

 to that employment, the plaintiff is en- titled to recover only so much as would be paid to one engaged in that occupa- tion. We can see no answer to this contention. While he was classified as lawyer, he expressly agreed that if he received an injury while doing an act pertaining to an exposure more haz- ardous than the one for which he was insured his beneficiary should only re- ceive the amount payable to those in- sured under that occupation"
 According to this decision, MT. Thom- as would have found it hard work to have much fun and still be in good in- surance standing in the lawyer class.

two model specifications have been drawn up-one for binding heavy or valuable books, and the other for ordi- nary library binding. It is a tribute to the quality of the early work that the suggested reform is only a return to the methods in general use up to the end of the last century"-that is to say, the eighteenth century-methods which, in the opinion of the subcommittee which investigated the branch of the subject, "are better than those now In common use" Binders should make themselves acquainted with these methods and should practice them.-St. James Gazette.

TIME TO DO SOMETHfNG.

If what has happened results in adequate action against active and murderous anarchists in this country it will not have been wholly devoid of usefulness, though it is a terrible way to learn. Already some sensible and practical suggestions have been made. One of them is that such attempts as that in Buffalo be punished with death, whether they are successful or not. Another is that the holding of meetings by persons known or proved to be an- archlsts, or the teaching of the doc- trines of anarchy, or the circulation of Its literature, be declared treason and prohibited under extreme penalties And the president of the National As- sociat tion of the Chiefs of Police of the United States and Canada has started a movement which he hopes will result in the cooperation of the police de- partments of the world in dealing with anarchists.
 Doubtless something definite will be done. It is high time. This is free country, and there is more than a sus- picion that it has been too free in its tolerance of anarchists. The prevail ence of the disposition to resort to lynch law is an interesting and signifi- cant feature of the present excitement, and though that may pass away there will remain genuine demand for more stringent laws and stringent enforce ment of them.
