ALL DRESSED up IN SARDINIA
Men of LittIe-known Island Appear as
If They Were Ready for
Medieval Pageant.

Z Large white sleeves beneath the
slashed sleeves of his jacket. full,
short, bright-colored skirt and close
fitting white trousers, tucked into
high boots or leggings, constitute the
typical attire of the Sandman. One
would think that native thus bedight
had stepped from his place in a pa
geant Of the middle ages instead Of
being CARRIED in the customary cos
tune for feast days.
In some districts of the island the
men wear pointed cap resembling a
Phrygian bonnet, long and narrow like
stocking, reaching almost to the
waist. This point is either worn
down over the shoulders or folded on
top of the head, and may be used as
pillow at night. 1t is apt to contain
anything from bread to snuff, which is
indispensable to the older Sard. A
queer custom Of some of the younger
men is to let the hair on top of their
heads grow often to Is inches In
length, and then roll it up into puff,
which looks like pompadour, across
the forehead.

Icelanders In America,

The first colony Of Icelanders to es-
tablish themselves on the American
continent arrived at Lake Rosseau
August 80, 1872, and there began the
pioneer Canadian settlement Of their
people. This was the beginning of a
considerable immigration of Iceland
ers to America. The first party con-
sisted of more than $50 men, women
and children, but only about a dozen
families settled in the Canadian col
ony. The remainder scattered over
Canada and few went on to Wiscon-
sin. Since then thousands of Iceland
ers-perhaps inspired by the old Ice
landic sages of Eric the Red, whose
son Left is said to have voyaged to
America five centuries before Column
bus-have emigrated to America, most
of them settling in western Canada
and the northwestern states. They
have made sturdy, intelligent patriots.
Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the distin-
guished explorer, comes from Iceland
ic stock, his parents having emigrated
from Iceland and settled in Manitoba
year or two before Vilhjalmur was
born in 1879.

The Source of "You ALL"

In a recent Sunday edition there
were citations from the Old and New
Testaments and from Shakespeare,
wherein the expression 'you all" and
similar expressions were used, quoted
in justification thereof. Allow me to
add a classical authority, no less than
Cicero, who repeatedly used the ex-
preston "vos omnes"-''you all" Just
as this is of the Augustan age of La
Unity, its high water mark in litera'
ture, so ''you alp is English of the
purest type. I once was ashamed OF
the speech of our southern mountain,
GERS, thinking that it arose from ig'
norance and lack Of cultivation, but
have since realized that they were
speaking a purer type of English than
were our college men, believing, as
now do, that the nearer the source the
purer the issue therefrom.-Letter to
the New York Times.

Easy for "TroubIe Man,

Every telephone company has q
trouble department" where all COM
plants of bad service and defective
equipment go. The men who make the
repairs and adjustments are known
as trouble men," and they have to be
not only expert workmen, but chaps
of intelligence and common sense, for
they meet many problems that are not
set down in the books. Thoughtless
people can do many things to put a
telephone out of commission and some
Of them are simple-a wet umbrella
leaned up against the wiring in such a
way that it grounds the current, and
Of course makes the phone useless.
In this particular case the umbrella
remained where it ought not to have
been while the owner Of the phone
fretted and fumed because he could
not get Central, and then went to a
neighbours and called up the telephone
company. When. the trouble man"
arrived he saw at once what the mat
ter was and picked up the umbrella.
"Now call Central" he suggested, and
the irate patron got an immediate re-
sponse.-Leslie's.

CLEOPATRA NOT A BEAUTY
ed Down by Numismatists
of Her Day.

Cleopatra, long famed as the fairest
of the fair, was not beautiful at all !;
in fact, she wasn't even what is COM
monty called pretty, says a local re-
port of the meeting of the convention
of numismatists in the Baltimore Amer
lean. Cleopatra really was ugly.
This more or less startling fact, so
long unknown to the world in general,
has come out from its hiding to disil-
fusion a deluded public as a result of
the annual convention of the Ameri-
can Numismatic association, says an
exchange.
Numismatists can prove that the
supposed bewitching Egyptian queen
had irregular features, a flat chest
large ears, small eyes and rather bony
shoulders. And, too, her neck was a
more or less scrawny affair, with none
too faint suggestion of an Adams ap.
pie.
The proof is found in some of the
rare coins which the. numismatists at
tending the convention from all sec
tons of the country brought with
them. .
Cleopatra's portrait appears on some
of these coins, and there are historical
data to prove that she approved OF
these designs. As she was very vain
woman, they argue, she certainly
would not have approved if the por
traits had not been good f1kenesses.

AGAIN, "One, Two, Three"

Some comfort for .the elderly and
equal confusion of the young is found
in the dictum of the masters that the
violent dance forms of recent date are
to be discarded for the season now at
hand. The waltz of old is coming back,
and the three-four time of days gone
by again will be heard where the ear
is now outraged by the syncopated
denominations to the "ragtime" of which
swings, dips, whirls and other gymnas-
tics Of the modern" dance are per-
formed. Johann Strauss will reign
again where Irving Berlin last year
held sway. On with the danced
