CLOTHES IN SARDINIA.

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 1eggings constitute the typical
attire of the Sandman. One would
think that a native thus bedight had
stepped from his place in a pageant
Of the middle ages instead of being
CARRIED in the Gust omary costume for
feast days.
In some districts of the island the
men wear a pointed cap resembling a
Phrygian bonnet, long and narrow
like a stocking, reaching almost to the
waist. This point is either worn
down over the shoulder or folded on
top Of the head and may be used as a
pillow at night. + It 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 fifteen inches in
length and then roll 1t up into a puff.
which looks like a pompadour across
the forehead. g.
Not only in their features, but in
their language do the natives of Sar-
dina retain traces of the many races
which have occupied the island
through the centuries-Phoenicia
Carthaginians, Romans, Saracens,
Italians and Spaniards. Many dialects
are spoken, but Italian is now taught
in the schools, and the men acquire
the official language during their
period of compulsory military service

Steer Buiidoaaino.

In perhaps the most daring sport Of
alL-steer bulldogg1ng-is revealed a
feat you must see to believe. A man
jumps from the back Of his running
horse as he oyertakes a Texas long
horn. If his judgment Is good he
seizes the stiletto-like horns and drags
the steer to standstill. Then begins
struggle worthy Of a gladiator as the
man, using the horns as levers, bends
and strains every muscle to throw the
great beast by twisting its neck. If
he succeeds in this the classics of the
game require him to hold the steers
upper lip in his teeth, at the same time
raising his hands for the count OF four
seconds hence the term steer bull
logging" This sport is absolutely harm
less in every respect to the four leg
ged animal, but his two legged COM
petitor must use consummate skill,
strength and nerve to protect himself
and conquer his antagonist

ITALY REGARDED
AS GATEWAY. FOR
ORIENTAL TRADE
Increasing Number of Amer
lean Firms Are Now LO-
eating There.

Milan, Italy, Nov. 20.-The ex-
PLANTATION Of the increasing number
Of American firms settling in Italy is
the realization that Italy is the future
gateway to the Orient and to the Near
East, according to Charles F. Hauss,
President of then American Chamber
Of Commerce for Italy.
Because of her geographical posi-
ton, joining the north of Europe to
the Orient said Mr.. Hauss to cor
respondent of the Associated Press,
Italy to-day offers better business
opportunities for Americans in my
estimation than South America or the
Far East. She has a fine commercial
strategic position and her government
and people are actively aware of the
fact, and intend to push this advan-
tage of location.
Wartime Italy is far more prosper
Gus than is generally known. The re-
cent declaration Of dividends showed
earnings higher even than in peace
times. It is also not generally known
that Italy bought more products in
the United States during the past year
than lin any four other great coun-
tries. She bought over two hundred
millions from us, as compared to
eighty millions in England, fifty in the
Argentine, fifty in France and fifteen
in Switzerland She is selling to us
something over fifty millions a year,
which is about her normal yearly
sales of before the war.
There is going to be much more
business between Italy and the United
States as this big fact of her geo.
graphical situation is better appre-
ciated, and when both Italy and the
United States increase their number
of merchant ships, at present sadly
inadequate to handle the cargoes
either way. Italy has provided and
will continue to provide abundant re-
turn cargoes, such as her renowned
silks, laces, furniture, alimentary
foods wines, cheese, her beautiful
marbles, hematite iron,> lead and zinc
ores, as we'll as certain other manu-
features. in which she excels. Be-
fore the war, Italy was laying the
ground for a fine national merchant
marine and right now during the war
she is continuing that policy.
II have lived in Italy nearly eight
of the II years I have been in Eu-
rope, and I can say that Italy has
the most liberal government I have
ever lived under. Its laws, though
severe, are just and when you yet to
know Italians and their customs you
will realize what great strides they
have made in science, industry and
commerce during the last 40 years of
united Italy. Milan, with its more
than 100000 inhabitants, the heart
Of industrial Italy, has record OF
growth unique in modern European
hiSfn &c Jat no i'm
so per cent in the last 10 years, due
to the wealth and hustle Of her bust
ness men.
All Of the American firms now in
Italy to my knowledge and belief are
prospecting, some even more than pre-
vious to the war.
1T is no more difficult to oEganize

a separate company here than else
where, though it would be well before
settling for an American company to
first carefully try out the field by &C
tual trial of it's goods on the Italian
market. Obviously, for some kinds Of
goods a separate company is not ad-
visable, as in the case Of goods light
in weight, of small volume, and of a
certain value, since such goods may
be sea-shipped and easily entered, If
the tariff is not high. =.
italian tariffs are not oppressive,
and they are always specific, never
ad valorem. This, Of course, means
that the higher the value of the mer-
chandise the easier it is to export to
Italy.
Italy welcomes American initia-
tive, capital and merchandise of all
kinds, especially semi finished prod
ucts and raw materials.

the latent capabilities she possessed
financially as we'll as industrially, and
she is going to keep on going ahead"

Trust of a Bird.

+ A farmer in the neighborhood where
l reside was crossing one Of his fields
one day when he was suddenly arrest
ed by skylark futtering down upon
him and adhering to his person in the
most affectionate way. While he was
wondering at its intentions a sparrow
hawk, which had evidently been in
close pursuit, swooped past Instant
ly taking in the situation, he stood per-
fectly still for nearly five minutes,
while the lark nestled contentedly be-
tween his feet. Then, seeming to rec
'ognize that all danger was over, it left
him, rose into the air and began to
sing In its loudest and most jubilant
tones. A bird whose love Of freedom
and aloofness from human contact are
proverbial, it seemed to have known
with unerring instinct where to find q
protector in its extremity.-London

ment of the season a large dinner at
the Aston town house, $40 Fifth ave-
nue., New York, (picture No. y, for
the members of the immigration
committee of the United States
Chamber Of Commerce, made up of
well known men and women. It was
the first time this house had been
opened for a dinner Of this kind, but
it was not the first entertainment at
which Mrs. Aston had been the hostess
to aid in the work Of the Americaniza-
ton Of immigrants. Her first large
dinner was on Oct. Is, 1915, when
she entertained at dinner at 1872 East
Seventy-eighth street and at which
the scope Of the work Of the ma
tional Americanization committee was
made plain.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-11-20

one Of its objects Is the enactment
of uniform laws in order to arrive at

committee in touch with schools and

ally those immigrants whose work
touches on national defenses, such as
munitions plants, mines, quarries and
railways She also gave several
luncheons last autumn for the COM
mittee at one of which Colonel Roose-
welt made an address.
Mr.. Astor was unable, owing to an
other engagement, to be present at
the dinner, and Mrs. Aston, who re-
ceived in the drawing room, had with
her the women who were to act as
the assistant hostesses of the various
tables. These included Mrs. Felix M.

after much opposition and mutual re-
elimination. It constituted a tribun-
al of fifteen to consist of five sena-
tors to be selected by the senate; five
congressman to be elected by the
house; and five judges to be selected
from the supreme bench-two repub-
licans and two democrats. and the
four thus chosen were to name the
fifth.
Now, the Democrats liked this plan
for to them it meant that Judge David
Davis, who, though lifelong friend
of Lincoln, had turned to be an inde-
pendent Democrat, would be the fifth
member. But the electorate Of Indi-
ana spoiled that by dragging Davis
from the supreme bench and electing
him to the senate. So that chance
was gone. and a Republican justice
took the fifth place.
On the morning of February z, 1877
the fifteen members of the commission
filed in. It. was onainous how they
divided on party lines. On the left
of Justice Clifford, the republican,
who presided, ranged the seven other
republican members. On his right
were the seven democratic members.
And on every important vote they
ranged themselves in the same way on
party lines.
But however partisan, that was
distinguished gathering, that commits
sion. Seven of the fifteen were or had
been judges; all were jurists of stand
ing; one of the Republican congress
men. James A. Garfield. was later to
become president; and Senators Hear,
Morton, and Frelinghuysen were all
men Of mark. The counsel that ap-
peared for the two parties were also
of high grade.
It was a long, weary hearing that
dragged itself along in the supreme
court chamber of the national capital.
Save for the monstrous admission by
William. NJ Evarts, leading counsel
Of the Republican, that 1t made
no difference whether the official
canvassers were bribed. the commits
sion had no right to go behind the re-
turns, it must have been dreary re-
capitulation of what everybody ac-
uuainted with the controversy already
knew by perusal of the papers.
On February 5, the commissioners
retired to deliberate; on the Sth. by
an to 4 vote, Lney ucClOcO loI ~
go behind the returns; on the 18th
they calmly passed over the election
certificates from Louisiana, one of
which was clumsily, even obviously
forged as was later proved; on Wash
ingtons birthday they voted, to Z.
to admit the certificates from Oregon;
and on February 27. they awarded
South Carolina to Hayes by the same
vote. And that. as far as the pres
idency was concerned, ended the mat
ter Hayes was Inaugurated.
But it didn't end the matter for
the rest of the country. Charles A.
Dana. editor of the New York Sun,
stamped out Of the party lock, stock
and barrel. and never printed Hayes
picture without the word "shame"
written in across the brow. Men
continually referred to Tilden as Mr..
President; he was regarded as mar
tyr by everyone but himself. And one
gentleman, of hyperfervid Democratic
convictions, on being introduced to
the inaugurated president, refused to
call him bv title, and merely said,
"Powdv. Haves!"
It was some camDaign. But if
Senator Rarnum hadn't sent that tel
egram to the New York Times. 1t
mightn't have been.

Church Musie.
One cannot read the Psalms without
the conviction, which grows with everys
repetition, that here Is the poetic voic-
ing of the deepest, highest and most
intense experiences possible to the soul
of man. They were intended for sing
ing, and from the day Of their use In
the Jewish temple until now they have
been the foundation Of very many Of
our sublimest musical productions.
1t must not be overlooked that only
the highest intelligence. the most vivid
imagination and the deepest inspira-
ton can bring forth works Of the first

be found in church music its cause ID
to be discovered in the human agent
and not In the lack Of inspiring force
