SARDINIA LIVES IN THE PAST.

Relics of Biblical pastoral life, plow-
ing with wooden hooks drawn by oxen,
reaping by the most primitive nipple
ments and other occupations of the
nomadic peoples of antiquity remain
the manner of living today in Sardinia,
according to DR.. Alfred P. Dennis,
commercial attache of the United
States embassy at Rome, who has just
returned from the island after making
an exhaustive study into trade posi-.
bilities.
"Sardinians present living picture
of the remote past which has been
stereotyped and handed down from
antiquity" said Doctor Dennis. IVA
ter wheels with earthen buckets, wood
en- plows drawn by oxen, the scythe
and the sickle still in use in reaping
vast fields, nomadic occupations un
changed since the days of the Aryan
disperison-tribal costumes as gay and
grotesque as the trappings of the me
dieval pageant-all reproduce in the
veriest similitude the archaic life Of
bygone ages"

WHAT is MAN?

What is man." The question was
asked 5000 years ago, and is still be-
ing asked. Science would answer it
This way:
Man contains about $500 cubic
feet of gas, oxygen, hydrogen and nit
rogen in his constitution, which, at 81
per thousand cubic feet would be
worth $3.50 for illuminating. purposes.
He also contains necessary fats to
make fifteen-pound candle, and thus
With $500 cubic feet of gas, possesses
great Illuminating possibilities. His
system contains enough carbon to
make, 10000 lead pencils. There are
about fifty grains of iron in his blood,
and the rest of his body would supply
enough to make a spike big enough to
hang himself. If healthy, he contains
fIfty-four ounces of PHOSPHORUS. This
poison would make million matches,
or kill thousand persons. A couple
Of pounds of lime make stiff bones and
brains
sometimes he looks sour, yet he
contains about one hundred Jumps of
sugar and thirty spoons of salt to
make the seasoning complete If dis
TILED into water he would make about
forty quarts. He also contains a lot

ium, sulphur and hydrochloric acid.

RESPECTED HOME OF MORGAN,

A subscriber who was interested in
the Companions account of the re-
spect shown to Mount Vernon during
the Civil war has called our atten-
ton to another historic place that re-
ceived similar respect and protection
the home of Gen. Daniel Morgan, OF
Revolutionary fame.
During the summer of 1912, says
our friend, / was visiting in the Shen-
andoah valley, and in going from
Shepherdstown to Harper's Ferry
passed little village called Morgan's
Grove My attention was attracted to
a large, two-story stone house, which
| discovered TO be the old home of
Gen. Daniel Morgan, the commander
of the famous Morgan Rife Corps"
At that house Col. Morgan organized
MS famous regiment of ritiemen ana
marched to Boston, distance OF SIX
hundred miles, to join Washingtons
army. The men were dressed in deer
skin coats and coonskin caps and were
armed with those long-barreled rifles
hat they used with such telling effect
n the battles of the Revolution. AT
he battle of Saratoga, when Burgoyne
asked why the officers of his army
Who were killed had been shot in the
lead, he was informed that it was the
"Lorgan riflemen who were RESPONSE
BE. He remarked that it was of no
use to fight with such an army and
lat he might as we'll surrender.
The old stone house at Morgan S
Grove stood unmolested during the
Tivil war Both Confederate and Fed
eral soldiers held it in almost sacred
reverence. Earlys men and Sheri-
aan's swept past it on their raids in
ne valley, yet the home of the Nor
ans continued to stand as noble
Monument to the memory of the great
@eneral who helped to gain our indie
endence.

Jupiter, Mercury and Venus rule
strongly for good today, according to
astrologers. 1t is a most suspicious
sway for all human interests.
During this ~configuration harmoni-
GUS currents are believed to influence
the world. making men and women
able to realize the best In them,
II Is a sway conducive to success In
the pulpit, making for responsiveness
and sympathy from those who listen to
speakers.
Ministers are subject to q planetary
direction that tends to cause them to
turn toward new lines Of humanitarian
effort and many changes in the
churches are prophesied,
Mercury gives aid to those who write
today, Letters have the best possible
guidance, especially II they deal with
| romance or the affections.
Love affairs should be greatly en-
couraged by this sway of the stars,
and engagements MADE today are ike
ly to be exceedingly lucky.
1t Is II time peculiarly fitted for so
cial affairs. Visiting or entertaining
friends Is subject to q direction Of the
stars making for ~helpfulness and kindli-
ness, sincerity and understanding,
This should be a day Of broad posi-
bilities to the young. since their minds
are supposed to be extraordinarily sus-
ceptible to good influences during this
configuration.
Vagaries OF dress, n and opin.
ion, common during war times, should
gradually disappear under the govern
ment Of the stars that will prevail this
summer.
Women are again subject to plane
tary influences making for reticence,
modesty and decorum. Reactionary
forces that bring back old customs as
well as old fashions are declared to be
at work.
Persons whose birthdate II is have
an active and successful year before
them. They have the forecast OF travel
and change that will bring profit.
Children born on this day have the
prognosticatlon OF great success, These
| subjects Of Cancer usually are kind,
generous and industrious.
