SKIN BOATS MOST ANCIENT.
Primitive Craft Made of Hides Are
Still Used in Egypt.

Babylonian and Egyptian sculptures
show goat and COW skins, roughly
made into boat shape and used for
river craft 1t is likely that this is
the oldest and most primitive form of
vessel in the world, says the Detroit
Free Press. and it came into use as
soon as man had advanced beyond the
stage of ferrying himself across water
ways on tree trunks.
In King Solomon's day the rivers
Euphrates and Tigris were navigated
almost entirely by means of such craft
Old as this form of water transpor-
tatlon is, ii has not disappeared by any
means. Bible land still is full of in
land sailors who paddle skin boats
that are not bit different from those
that were used in the time of the jew
fish kings The river front of Bagdad
to-day harbOrs great fleets of exactly
the same kind of skin and rattan boats
that used to ply there in the days Of
Haroun Al Raschid.
Even in Europe there are races that
still use boats made Of skins. These
races live in Albania and other parts
OF the Balkan peninsula The natives
tie three or more goat skins together
and stiffen the structure with a thin
framework of rattan and tough
grasses.
Most of the boats are so small and
weak that the passengers must lie fat
on them, while the boatman buoys
himself with a goat skin and swims
along behind to shove the boat on.
These boats look very funny, for the
natives leave the heads and tails of
the goats on the skins.

SWEET PEAS.

S17 RE you quite sure? l did want

$3.50 The speaker paused. The
listener on the other side OF the thick
privet hedge could almost fancy there
were tears in her eyes.
For the voice belonged to woman
of that fact Miles Cathcart was sure.
And moreover, the owner thereof
must be a young woman; not that the
point interested him much. He was
above and beyond number during the
past ten years.
And he was thirty -four now getting
quite an old man-quite a confirmed
hermit.
| He looked around his beautiful gar
/ den, where the bees ran riot in the
honeysuckles and the butterflies made
| free with the roses and tall virgin
lilies Quite hermit
He was standing between two rows
OF magnificent sweet peas. From d
glorious deep purple to the faintest
shade of pink they crept up, each In
Its allotted space, between the shelter
ing, helpful sticks.
The voice arrested his wandering at
! tention once more,
Are you sure you haven't any sweet
peas? ! am sure | smell them some
where. And | did so want a bunch
for aunty on her birthday; they are
hep favorite flowers"
There was no doubt about the cha
grin: the tones of the voice dropped
almost to a sob Miles pictured a
peevlsh face to himself.
"shure, now, but l amt got none
such things. Them as you smells be-
longs next door to Mr.. Cathcart-they
does; and he wouldn't spare EN- for
love or money" the old gardener who
rented the garden next to Cathcart ex-
planned.
Love or money. What had he to
do with the former?" Miles asked him
self bitterly. or the latter he had
enough and to spare, as his beloved
flowers testified Years ago-ten or
twelve at least-he had thought thar
love and he had something in common:
' he had dreamed Wild dreams and seen

Belgian Monarch Builds Costly Jap
anese Pagoda.
At Laeken, close to the royal palace,
near Brussels, there is now being per-
formed the finishing touches on a mag
nificent japanese pagoda that has been
erected to crafty King Leopold's fan
cy. 1t stands on the edge Of a lake in
the royal park. lending its air Of Orien-
tai mystery to Occidental surround
Ings.
While the illustration gives a good
idea of the architectural beauties
brought out In its design 1t fails, OF
course, to give even so much as a sug-
gestion of the rich coloring that adds
so much to the attractiveness of this
unique structure. The pagoda is dark
red, relieved with gold and black.
From the corners of each successive
roof or balcony there hangs electric
lights and one can readily imagine the
effect of all this when seen from across
the lake at night.
1t is on the inside, though, that it's
greatest beauty is TO be seen. The
woodwork is of a rich bright brown
color and deeply carved. BY way OF
further ornamentation 1t is touched
with red and black in decorative eff
fects, frightened here and there with
gliding, and is studded with plaques
of gilded bronze. Splendid as are the
decorations, however, they are out

Dear Sir:
l take pleasure in dropping you a

fine We have been out every day this

with the cold as much as we did in
Chicago. My little boys are out every
day with their sleighs having a good
time. The lowest the temperature has
been this winter is 81 below and 1t is
very still, no wind.
We had a splendid summer; we put

about 80 tons to sell; hay brings So per
