STORY OF A SEAL COAT.
Woman Agreed to smuggIe and
Then Kent IT.

An amusing story is being told of a
Boston woman who lost a beautiful seal
garment which her indulgent husband
had purchased for her in Montreal for
Christmas present.
AS the story is told the coat was being
brought to Boston in a large travelling
bag carried by the purchaser. Ae he ap-
preached the Canadian-American border
he began to have doubts as to wire,ir.. ,i
not he could persuade the customs of
hcials to pass the garment, so he cast
about him for some means by which he
could evade the payment of the Govern
ments dues
A short distance from his seat in the
car was well-dressed woman who ap-
peared to be alone. The man went to
her and explaining his predicament, asked
her if she would be willing to wear the
coat as her own garment over the line
The woman agreed and the danger line
was crossed in safety
As the train approached the Massachu-
setts line the purchaser of the coat ap-
preached the woman and. after thanking
her for the trouble to which she had been
put, and expressing both the thanks of
his Wife and himself for her assistance,
said that he would not trouble her to
wear the coat for any longer time.
Much to his surprise. however, the
woman failed to recognize him and in
sisted that the coat was her own. All ap-
peals from the man were of no avail. and
the wearer of the coat finally stated. so
it is said that she knew the man we'll.
and calling him by name, asked him if
he were willing to have it made public
that he was trying to evade the payment
of customs duties in that way.
The purchaser OF the garment pondered
over the matter for awhile and came to
the conclusion that the loss of the sacque
would be less annoying than any noto-
riety, while the woman left the traia at
Boston resplendent in q seal garment in
tended for the wife of Back Bay man.

RAMESES' YACHT.
Oldest Boat In the World for the
Carnegie Museum,

The oldest boat in the world, the royal
yacht of the ancient kings of Egypt. is
| being prepared for exhibition in the Car
negie museum at Pittsburg They call ii
the Moses and Aaron" in that city.
To modern shipbuilder the yacht is a
marvel of construction. The yacht Of
pemeses in size ana shape does not diff
fer materially from sailboats to be seen
on inland waters today
In its building not nail or screw was
used. The heavy six-inch cedar timbers
that form the hull are dovetailed together
in unique fashion.
THE Moses and Aaron is thirty fee
in length with a beam of eight feet. Ten
inchas below the gunwales a deck is con-
structed that In the palmy days of the
craft. allowed reclining seats for prob
ably score Of passengers.
The tirnbers were spliced amidships and
holes still visible in the decaying wood
indicate that rawhide thongs were used
to draw the ends of the beams together.
The boat draws about three feet of water.
There are no evidences of rowlocks. a
contrivance in the stern is thought to
be the remains of the original steering
gear. pole twelve feet long found with
the boat may have been used as a mast to
support the mdfnsail.
The old yachtsmen on the Nile did not
depend much on keels. judging from the
construction of the Moses and Aaron"
Its bottom is as smooth as that of 4
wooden butter bowl.
The wood in the hull is wonderfully
well preserved. Although the timbers are
decayed and worm eaten time has nor
been able in thousands of years to part
the joints and seams that the Egyptian
carpenters welded together.
On the starboard side of the hull are
the faint remains Of hieroglyphic inscrip-
tions.-Boston Globe.
