OLD BUILDINGS IN SARDINIA.
The Mystery OF Their Construction Nos
Yet Penetrated.

For centuries past the ingenuity OK
learned men has been exercised on the
yoraghe Of Sardinia, but TO this day
they have no more been able TO discover
the origin OF these famous buildings
than had the Romans before them.
They were unable to say whether they
wore used for tombs or fire temples. for
trophies Of victory, for obseryatories,
q, merely for human dwelling places.
More than 5000 of them have been
counted in Sardinia. standing on aru-
fetal mounds 30 or 60 feet high ana
measuring at the base 100 70 300 ieet
in circumference. They are usually
in the shape of towers. built with i'm
nlense blocks Of stone roughly hewn
with hammers. No cement is used In
their structure, nor is there any IN
scription 10 Indicate their origin.
4 low entrance at one side leads into
n long and lofty passage, communicat-
ing liz q very low door with domed
chamber beyond. ON either side OF this
small cells have been formed in the
walls. A spiral staircase rising steepiy
from the dome leads 10 another but
somewhat smaller chamber 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
ence IS mystery.
In the same vicinity other buildings
have been discovered which arc no less
puzzling to antiqraries. The general
opinion is that they were built for the
purpose OF buryirr giants.
The most interesting archaeological
mysteries Of this country are The Denes
Of Essex and Middlescx. They are per-
pendicular shafts sunk in the earth,
with lateral caves at the bottom. but
the purpose for which they were dug
Z out has never been discovered. II Is
possible. however. that they might
have been used as granaries or even az
Z rlaces % refuge in time OF trouble.
rhe Rathes 81 Kerry form an inter

has been arrived at. however. being
that they were inhabited at some re-
mote age by a race Of dwarfs. The dis

mounds. beneath which. when the earth

are tiny underground buildings.

THE DRAWINo-ROOM.
How to Make the Company Room Cheer

The term drawing-room, formerly the
room in which company withdrew from
the dining-room, is much more APP
propriate term in it's origin than the
more common parlor, which was the
room in which the sisters of the old nur-
series met 10 gossip and parlcy. IL has
been a practice of late To decry the
necessity OF a separate room in an or
binary dwelling house for the recep-
ton of company. In large house,
where there are plenty OF servants 10

less need of a special room than In

plea which some such housekeepcrs
make. that they must have one room
that is kept IN order. free from the IN
roads Of dust, and which will always he

attained with sufficient and capable
household help. She does not care to
