How do you ike my writing"
Etruria or Tuscia was an ancient
country of Italy, extending from the
Tiber and the Apprentices to the Mediter-
ranean sea. The people who lived there
were called Etruscans.
The government Of the Etruscans was
simple, being a confederacy. 1t is now
no more. But why rake up old person
alties or stir up a race prejudice now
that al is friendly again: Etruria was
ruled by sort of board of supervisors
chosen by twelve cantons, which COM
prised the Etruscan confederacy. Each
canton had the divine right to secede
from the others by paying its dues and
the bill at the restaurant.
The church and state were almost
identical in Etruria and almost every
thing was opened with prayer. The
Etruscans, however, worshiped Tinia
or Tina. hence the expression making
of one "a little Tin god" Tina or Tina
was undoubtedly Jupiter, and here origi-
mated another expression which may be
traced ct once to the Etruscans. To call
down the wrath of Jupiter or Tinia grew
at last till it became simply, instead of
Il will call down or sic Jupiter on
you," If you do not do so and so. will
put Tina on you"
Thus the thinking mind is ever at
work tracing ont the origin of things
until at last we reach the point where
we know so much that brain colo is
very common occurrence among us.

The Etruscans also worshiped Juno.

felt much interest in the relic, not only
because Of the tableau on the top repre-
senting one of the Etruscan kings en-
gagged in laying the cause of the people
before Juno, but also on account of the
three sheet poster pasted on the end of
the tomb, as it shows how alert the
Etruscans were in advertising, and also
the degree of perfection to which show
printing had attained even at that early
time.
In Etruria, also, it was customary to
worship twelve other divinities, asid9
from those AIMED above, and so it is said
that at last the Etruscans were taking up
coll .ction or trying some one for
heresy all the time. Trade became con-
gested, commerce curled up its tail and
died. Poverty succeeded to thrift and
contentment, hunger sat at the gateway
and appealed to eyes that answered only
by their own fearless hunger. Over and
above the gods l have described, there

Queen OF the Turf.

The first of trotters, the most perfect
in movement for the artist fit to direct
her, the most faultless in the disposition
OF racer, the most sensational, not even
excluding Flora Temple, in record break
ing, the elimination Of her kind. the
beautiful daughter of Woodburn that by
the fortune of being named after Miss
Maud Store, of Cincinnati. properly be-
came known to the world as Maud s, has
been Withdrawn from all prospects Of
trotting herself, and has been named as q
brood mare that she may be the cause of
trotting in others. Mr.. Bonner retires
her unbeaten, and her progeny is TO be
from Ansel, son of the horse that sired
the single animal, also Mr.. Bonner's
property, to which horsemen look with
every hope to see Maud's own deeds sur
passed. Commenting on this the New
York Sun says, editorially:
Maud has been one Of the most valuable
and one Of the most satisfactory additions
to the track ever bred. Although she is
the last no great record holder ever left
the future so full of hope Of further pro-
gress, nor such definite indication as 10
the line for seeking it. Flora came and
went as an unaccountable phenomenon,
from which there was no Instruction to
be gained as TO improvement or repro
duciion. Dexter was better guide post
for the breeder, but he scarcely repre-.
ssnted more than q somewhat higher de-
velopment of elements already known and
recognized. Goldsmith Maid added little
mere 20 trotter learning Ra.us was an
other unknown and uninforming guam
tity, and st. Julien, which after him next
occupied the first place, gained q better
record but added nothing 10 the science
of breeding trotters. Maud was OF
another sor'. Wedoubtif the breaking of
anyrecord even the eco mark, ever created
agreater sensation than her beating of2:l2
at her first appearance in maturity; but
Maud accomplished far more than ID 1t in
the observation of the breeder. She was
the first TO demonstrate that the highest
speed could come from Ii Oh blood, and in
doing that she opened up the way TO a
greater speed and to q general improve
ment in the trotting type such as the ex.
perts before could scarcely dream of, and
knew no road TO. The thoroughbred
obtained through her his most confirmed
foundation on the makeup of the Amer
lean trotter; and with the infusion OF his
peerless strength comes the ability TO
carry the great races 10 the miles end,
and to make into an actual achievement
what the soon,ended speed of many low
bred animals had only suggested as a
possibility.
The candidate, the only visible candi-
date, for the honor of new record is
Sunol. We all trust she may get it. and
get it soon. but it will in no whit dim the
Harold mares fame. and who knows but
that some day Maud S. will stand higher

Croft. However, up to the time when
the Romans became the dominant nation
IN Italy anC prior to the trouble in the
New Orleans dynasty, the Etruscans had
extended their influence over South
western Europe and managed TO
undersell many of the Jewish cloth

We're bold in war and enterprising

rarely sat down and their navies
were seldom seasick. All this was the
case up to about $50 B. C.-to the best of
my recollection. After that they had
the air of having been checked up too
high. Their pride prevented them from
sweating and they persplred very little
too. Finally their letters We're all die

Later on trouble broke out with the

SS0000,000. During the next 10 years,

of 1919 brought it up TO $127. 900, 900,

mus addition to Rome which after
ward turned out to be i'll another county.
This precipitated upon the Etruscans a
war which was most disastrous, many
of the choicest and best dressed Etruscan
officers of the regular army having been
killed or overhet III their flight, so that
they We're no good after that, or thei.
uniforms We're so unused up that they
We're ashamed almost to go TO large
place like Rome, where the next battle
was advertised for.
Eighty-nine years before Christ the
Etruscans We're admitted to the Roman
franchise, but still even as subordinate
power they constantly threw it up to
their conquerers that they were very
old people. and II was indeed raw, disa-
greeable day when some Etruscan did
not go home with a beautiful Swiss sun
set under each eye and tell his wife that
he got it while reaching the tail of q
casual mule.
The Gtruscan writers We're not of a
high order generally, but they excelled
IN all the arts As a people, they al
lowed nobody to Guido them in art.
Sculpture, painting, etc, etc, had a
great hold on the people, and home deco
ration was run into the ground. Ever
lasting flowers and dried grasses with
powdered alum on them We're in their
full meridian when the Etruscans curled
up and died as a people, leaving their
glittering bones to ornament the shores
of time.
The so called Tuscan architecture is a
modification of the Doric, and looks well
on an unencumbered piece of property
The CIoaca Maxina, at Rome. which
many travellers will remember has been
unoccupled for so many years, is attrib
uted to the Etruscans during their domi-
nation. They showed in this building
that they We're acquainted with the prin-
clples involved in the construction of the
arch, and the plumbing is said to be
good, though the building needs airing.
Very little remains of their temples,
theaters, etc, and their religion is only
a matter Of uncertain history. No one

interest III the gods that the Etruscans
worshiped. They have gone with Blue

We're so popular in the decalogue of the
people Of Etruria there is not one today
who could command four dollars a

The tombs of the Etruscans are their
chief charm. They are beautifully dec
GRATED and though poorly ventilated, as
SO many tombs are apt to be, are on the
inside covered with paintings and cary
ings. They are also furnished with vari-
Gus articles, on many of which may be
found the remains of very unique and
once beautiful tides, which, it is pre-
sulned, We're a weakness of the Etrus-
cans. though it must be admitted that
they showed much mental acumen, it
seems to me, IN putting them where they
