the president permitting the senators
and congressman to suggest the candi-
dates for appointment, but there is
some doubt Of this plan being follow
ed and interest will doubtless attach
to the places until they are filled and
the appointments confirmed by the
senate. The first of the vacancies to
be created will be that Of collector or
customs for the district Of Charleston.
Collector E. w. Durant, Jr., has near
ly served out his term Of appointment,
which by the four-year rule will ex-
pire on April 8. The appointments
are. however, made for four years,
and until the appointment Of sue
cessor, so that, unless Mr.. Dunrant re-
signs, he will remain in office until his
successor Is commissioned. United
States district attorney Is the next ap-
pointment to follow the collector or
customs. Mr.. Ernest Cochran was
appointed on February l, 1910, 80 that
he has less than year to serve under
this appointment. United States Mar
shall ]. Duncan Adams should hold
his office, under this rule, until March
/, 1915, little more than year long
er than the district attorney, while
Postmaster w. L. Harris, another de-
sirable office, has until January 20,
1915, to serve out his term. There Is
some talk Of the re-establishment or
the South Carolina department Of the
United States internal revenue, which
was consolidated with the eastern d.
vision of North Carolina some months
ago. If this is done, then another de-
sirable office will be established for
some aspirant. Then, there are a
number Of positions as postmaster OF
a desirable class to be filled all over
the state. For the large state offices,
there have been a number of names
but none with any definite
ness and this uncertainty adds to the
general interest which is now being
taken in the matter.

IN A CHALDEAN PALACE
Ruins of Nebuehadnezzar's Great
House Being Uncovered.

From the engineers camp I follow
ed the course of the old river Of Baby
lon down to the famous city Of Nebu-
chadnezzar, where the German Ori-
entail society is digging up the records
Of 1000 years ago, writes a Christian
Herald correspondent. I saw the fam
Gus stone lion; the bas-relief Of Neb-
uchadnezzer himself, with his quaint,
curly beard; the stone goose which
was the standard measure Of weight
in Babylonian grocery stores; the odd
tribe Of kinky-tailed cats; the thou
sands of queer dishes, urns, vases,
utensils, figures Of men and beasts,
bath tubs. bowl-shaped collins and
suneiform tablets which have been un-
earthed by the careful Germans.
They showed me the magic name Of
NebuchadnezZar stamped on numer-
Gus bricks, and I walked through the
very banquet hall where, peradven-
ture. the handwriting came upon the
wall at the feast of Belshazzar, and "a
thousand Of his lords"
On the perfectly preserved walls OF
the palace I beheld the strange fig
ures of neurological beasts and the
everlasting bull, which held high
place in Babylonian worship. Under
German guidance host Of Arabs have
toiled for a quarter of a century-dig-
ging carefully, as they dig in Pompeii,
not to crack or ruin the priceless
treasures which lie buried every
where And each day brings some
new surprise.

A Question of Reeall.-A man Vas
carrying a live turtle along the street,
when along came an Irishman, fol-
lowed by a large dog. The country
man tried by gentle words to get the
son of the Emerald Isle to put his fin
ger into the turtles mouth, but he was
too smart for that.
'T'n put my dogs tail in and see
what the baste will do"
He Immediately called up his dog,
took its tail in its hand and stuck 1t In
the turtles mouth. He had scarcely
got 1t in when Mr.. Turtle shut down
on the poor dogs tail, and off the lat
ter started at railroad speed, pulling
the turtle after him at more rapid
rate than ever 1t had travelled before.
The countryman, thinking that his
days work would be thrown away II
the animal should run at that rate,
turned with a savage look upon the
Irlshman and exclaimed:
Call back your dog"
Paddy put his hands into his pock-
cts, threw his head to one side, wink
ed. and then answered, with provok-
ing air, Call back your fish"-Irish

Apropos of clothes.-Louis Tiffany
at the Egyptian fete that he recently
gave in his New York studio, was led
by the magnificnce of some OF the
Egyptian yesrments of his guests, to
say:
''These beautiful robes make me
think Of an old fellow whom 1 once
met on a cold day down south.
THE air was bleak, and 1t beat on
the old fellows flesh through the
many holes in his tattered garments.
Yet despite his tatters, he had whole
side Of bacon on his shoulder.
Uncle said I, why didn't you
spend your money on warm coat In
stead Of on all that bacon?'
THE old man answered gravely.
"'Wall, sab, when I asks my back
for credit, gifts it.
Then, patting and rubbing his
stomach, he added:
"'But dishyer, sab, dishyer always
calls for cash."

THE DIsoRDERLY CHILD.
Woman Gives a Few Hints About Cor
rectinq a Bad Habit.

If had only realized when was 6
child how much more work 1t made tC
have people disorderly and careles!
about their things, I am sure should
have been more careful. But didn't
realize, writes Ruth Cameron in the
Milwaukee Sentinel.
That Is the oft-expressed sentiment
Of one young woman who has recently
gone to housekeeping in home Of heI
own. And fancy there are many OF
US who could say the same thing-we
didn't realize. And not about that
matter only, but about many matters
have heard 1t said that children
are naturally selfish. I beg to differ
I think they are naturally full Of the
most generous impulses. But do ad-
nit that they are naturally thoughtless
and that is what makes them seem sell
fish. It Is not that they would be de-
liber ately selfish and unkind, 1t is just
that they have lived so short time
that they do not understand the trou-
BILE and pain and self-denial they may
be the cause of-they just don't real
lie.
I once knew wise mother who
grasped this fact and based her train
Ing on the effort to make her children
realize exactly what they were doing
when they were thoughtless or care
less or unreasonable.
For instance, take the very matter
Of which the young housewife spoke.
This mother had a daughter who was
terribly slack about leaving things
around. She would come into the
house and leave her coat on one chair
and her fur on another, throw her
gloves on the table and put her hat
MI 70 nj nj
away her hat because she was afraid
something would happen to the feath-
ers II she didn't. Her mother talked
and talked to no avail. Finally she
decided to make her daughter realize
the trouble she was causing. so she
told her that for the next week she
would not pick up one thing that any
Of the children left lying around, that
her daughter must keep the house in
order as a punishment for past mis-
deeds, and that II she failed to do so,
she would not be allowed to go to a
certain function to which she was
looking forward.
AS all the children inherited more or
less a tendency to disorderliness from
an artistic father, her task was by
no means easy. Needless to say, the
end Of the week found her saying: II
never realized how much trouble leav-
ing things around made. I will be
more careful in the future"
Again, when the two older children
got the habit Of teasing for things that
were beyond the family purse, this
wise woman. instead Of scolding. SIM
ply took them into her confidence
about the family income and outgo,
asked their help about keeping the ac-
counts, and without saying a word OF
her purpose to them, soon made them
realize for themselves why they could
not have everything that other chill
dren had. And after that she had
no more trouble with teasing.
Look back into your own childhood
and see II the unkind, the selfish, the
thoughtless, the cruel things that you
did were not all done because you did
not realize.
What better basis, then. could we
have for training our children than
helping them to realize now instead
Of years afterward when 1t is too late
