In Babylonia.

The "beer-house" was regular in
stitution in Babylonia in very early
times. In hymn which is considered
to be as old as B. c. 1000 we read the
complaint of a people to the god who
neglects them-"Thou comest not near
our sheep-folds or our oxen, near our
city or our market-place or our public
houses" The beer formed part Of the
temple offerings in Chaldea as in
Egypt, and according to an inscription
of Assarbanipal, large quantities were
way on occasions of rejoicing.

NEW GoyERsENTaL DEPARTMENT.
The Commercial rrav ellers Want such an
Institution.

The Legislative Committee OF the
Commercial Travellers OF which Col.
John s. Harwood. OF this city, is chair
man. and Mr.. ]. C. simering. OF Balti-
more the sub-chairmau, have for a long
time been advocating a new department of
government TO be known as Department
OF Commerce. the head of which should be
a Cabinet officer and sit in the Presidents
official family circle. The signs OF the
times point toward the early realization
Of their hopes in this regard, mas
much as the head Of the present admins
tration seems to be very much in favor
Of such department being added 20
his Cabinet
There is much for such department
TO do, if il be placed in the hands Of a
thorough business man who will subordi-
nate partisanship to patriotism and who
understands the commercial needs or TINS
country. both domestic and foreign.
The Commercial Traveller has this 10 say
in reference TO the matter:
"The business men Of the United States
have at last awakened 20 the necessity OF
extending our commerce beyond our own
shores, and nothing could possibly con-
duce TO such extension 50 much as a
wisely administered department Of COM

elusive control Of all consular appoint

sular service from the ranks or the only

elers OF the United states. and our for
eign trade will grow Ike O. picaninny In

In view of the demands OF the COM
mercial travellers. the business men s
associations and the Federation or La
Dor. the latter organization having en-
dorsad the movement. Congressman Bak-
or has introduced a bill in Congress pro-
vidlng for such a department 10 be known
as the Department OF Commerce and
Industries" and a secretary, who shan
be appointed by the President. by and
with the advice and consent Of the Sem
ate az a salary OF $500 year.
Col John s Harwood was seen by
Times reporter on the subject yester-
dav and ne expressed himself as feeling
confident that the bill will become
law. Col Harwood has worked hard on
this measure. and he IS, with his col
leagues on the legislative committee. very
much encouraged at the way things are
going.
The bill as introduced by Mr.. Baker IS
IN the hands OF the Committee on Inter
