A Boat $500 Years Old.

A viking craft found in Norway some
time ago was in use about the year 1000
A. D., and at once became famous as by
far the Oldest specimen Of watercraft in
existence. The boats in the Gizeh mu-
scum, it was decided by the learned, were
used at least 1900 years ago, and were
contemporaneous with the Dashur pyra.
mids of the eleventh Egyptian dynasty.
With this boat and the two which re.
main in the Cairo museum were two more,
which still rest in the sands which stretch
desolately from the Dashur pyramids, near
which they were found.
The five boats were found buried at a
considerable depth, not far from the famous
largest pyramid, and in such orderly form
and with ouch mathematical relationship
to the great pile of stone that twas evil
dent that they had been buried with de-
sign at that particular spot.
The boats were found to be alike in the
material of which they were constructed
and in their general dimensions The &C.
dar of antiquity, which entered into SO
much of the construction of things OF
wood, was used in building these boats.
While the equipments of the boats had
generally disappeared with time, their
shapely outlines still remained.
The boat that is in Chicago now was
probably better preserved than any. 1t is
80 feet long, feet of beam and feet of
hold. A we'll preserved and peculiarly
marked and designed piece of rudder of
wood was found near the boats.-Harper's

that he quite forgot his business.

not have it in stock. +"
"You can't, either, I'm almost sure''
"New designs are constantly on the
market, madam, and surely we can sup
ply any demand made upon u.s."
"You think so, do you?' she asked, as
if she had been to lat furniture stores
that morning only to be disappointed at
each place. "Well, sir, have you got a
