OLD BUILDINGS IN SARDINIA.

For centuries past the ingenuity of
learned men has been exercised on the
Noraghe of Sardinia, but to this day
they have no more been able to dis
cover the origin of these famous build
ings than had the Romans before them.
They were unable to say whether they
were used for tombs or fire temples,
for trophies ofvictory, for observatories,
or merely for human dwelling places.
More than 1900 of them have been
counted in Sardinia. standing on anti
fetal mounds 30 or 60 feet high, and
measuring at the base 100 to 500 feet
in circumference. They are usually
in the shape of towers, built with i'm
mense blocks of stone roughly he"n
with hammers. No cement is used in
their structure, nor is there any III
scription to indicate their origin.
A low entrance at one side leads
into a Ion! and lofty passage, com
munlcating by a very low door with
chamber bev, nd On cit err side
of this small cells have been formed
in the walls. \ spiral staircase
rising steeply from the dome leads to
another but some wi hat Smaller chambe'
above and again beyond this to the
broken top of the Noraghe.
Nothing has been found within these
buildings, and to this day their exist
pnce is a mystery.
In The same vicinity other building,
have been discovered hich are no
less puzzling to antIquaries. The
general opinion is that they We're
built for the purpose of burylng
giants.
The most interes ing archaeo oglcal
mysteries of this county are the Denes
of Essex and Middlesex. They are
perpendicular shafts sunk in the earth
with lateral caves at the bottom, but
the purpose for which thy were dug
ont has never, been discovered. 1t is
possible, however, that they might
have been used as granaries or even
as place of refuge in time OF trouble.
The Rathes of Kerry form an inter-
esling study, the only conclusion that
has been arrived at however, being
that they were iuhabl,ed at some re-
mote age by a race of dwarfs. The DIS
trict is covered with hundreds of green
mounds, beneath which, when the
earth has been removed, it is seen that
there are tiny underground bull llngs.
A small opening, through which a
man is barely able to crawl on his
hands and knees, gives access to the
inclosed and walled-in space beyond,
which is divided into several smaller
chambers. Each one communicates
with the other by small hole a SINH
lar aperture being made in the outer
wall for the purpose OF ventilation.
\ rude fireplace is sometimes found
in remote corner, but no outlet be-
yond the holes for ventilation is pro-
vided Tor the smoke. Very little more
than this is known about these mys-
terious habitations.

WEDDING ONENS

7 he bride who finds spider on her
wedding dress may consider herself
blessed.
The bride who dreams of fairies the
night before her marriage will be thrice
blessed.
If the groom carry miniature horse
shoe in his pocket he will always have
good luck.
No bride, if she would have good
luck, should bake her own wedding
cake. 70 do so invites ill-fortune.
No bride or groom should be given
a telegram on the way to church. 1t
is positively sign of evil.
Ship marriages are considered any
thing but lucky. Get married on
land or don't get married at all.
Don't wear an opal in getting mar
ried. Some people declare that opals
are lucky. History proves the con-
trary.
If the wedding ring is dropped dur
ing the ceremony the bride may as
we'll wish herself unborn, for she will
always have evil luck.
Kiss bride right after the ceremony
and before the newly made husband
has had chance to do so, and you
will have excellent luck throughout
the year.
Maidens eager to wed should give
dishwater heated to the boiling point
wide berth. 1t means that they will
not marry for long time if they at
tempt to cleanse dishes in water so
hot.
Night weddings are better than
none, yet they are by no 1ueans the
best. The bride whom the sunshine
cannot fall upon is sure to experience
troublous times. If she have children
they will die young.

the successors to the Baltimore d.

Only one resident of Maryland was
elected a director. and as the laws of
Maryland require that majority of
the directors be residents of this
state. it is the opinion of several law
yers that the election is void.

Tuesday. regarding the proposed set

best way out of the difficulty. He ad-
ded that any way the colonists stood
to gain as much as they could lose. as
settled districts on both sides of the

MED absolutely that contention of Mr.
Scruges, counsel for Eenezua. that the

this country before gold was discovered
in it. and there was no trade of Venez-
