A seal for the treasury, nowever, was adopted, impressions of which are found on original papers in the files of | the register of the treasury.

ROBERT MORRIS' CONNECTION. | It is therefore highly probable {that Robert Morris furnished the legend for the seal of the treas- ury, which would explain the | employment of the term * ‘ ca.” | was probably owing to the fact that the | fathers of the republic | pected that Canada would ultimately | | i become a part of the sovereignty and be included in the independent colonies. In 1774 the popular Legislature of Canada was abolished by act of Parlia- | make laws for the province, | laws to raise taxes. This gave the Brit- | | ish Government a firm hold on Canada. | Efforts were made in 1775, during the revolution, to regain possession of Can- ada, but those efforts failed. In 1849 Edward Stabler 6f Sandy | Spring, Montgomery County, Maryland, one of the most famous die sinkers and seal engravers of his time, was com- missioned to make a fac simile of the | original treasury seal, which was worn | from constant use, and failed to make good impressions. Mr. Stabler suggest- ed some minor changes in the way of improvement, ‘but was instructed to copy the design exactly as it was, and | “in accordance with law.” Diligent ef- | forts have fajled to discover any law on the subject. In recutting the seal it has been de- termined by Secretary Shaw that as the great seal has always been, so shall it remain, of course, unless should direct otherwise. As one official remarked: “The United States may own the earth one of these days; then will be time enough to make the change.”—Washington Star. —_—— ANCIENT SCHOOLROOM BROUGHT TO LIGHT Congress — Discovered in Babylonian Village of Sippara by Learned Priest Named Scheil. Truly. the most intimate life of na- tions which flourished many thousands long entombment through the extra- ordinary results of recent excava- tions. Here is a report of the French Archaeological Institute at Cairo, dealing with/ the researches of a learned priest, Vincent Scheil. In the little Babylonian town of Sippara, which in distinction' from similarly named places was called the “Sippara of the Plain,” or “of the Sun,” and which was surrounded by a number of suburbs, he has discovered a per- fect schoolroom for punils of the more learned class, together with the ma- terials for writing and instruction. 'It transports us back to upward of 4000 years before our time! Where Sippara once stood there is now only a mound of earth covered with potsherds.

At the request of the Turkish Gov- | ernment P. Vincent Scheil has laid | bare a whole ward of the town, and from it a full insight into the life of the inhabitants can be gathered. The school was found in a little house op- | posite a temple. Little clay tablets and statuettes lay about in it. On | one of the tablets was the inscription: | “He who distinguishes himself in the School of Writing will shine even as the sun.” The walls were three meters high. | The house contained seven rooms; in | one of them a vast mass of clay tab- lets were set in regular order. of them had not yet been baked, so that they stuck together and their in- scriptions had become undecipherable.

They were used for exer- c'ses in the class. On several of the tablets it could still be seen how the arithmetical and so forth. pupils had scratched out some faulty | writing, smoothing the clay over again with the stylus made of wood, bone | or copper. All the dated texts bear the name of King Hammurabi, about whom the | recent controversy between Professor Delitsch and the Emperor William II arose.
