Show Sardinia Once Wild Country. Sardinia was a wild placo In tho middle of tho last century. A traveler trav-eler says: "Tho men nro ciothod, in goat-skins, ono before nnd another behind, without breeches, shoos or stockings, and a woolen or skin cap on tho head. Tho women have no other linblllmotitB than n long woolen gown nnd a woolen cap. Tho peasants peas-ants always go armed to defend thorn-solves thorn-solves from ono another, so that traveling trav-eling In tho Interior Is extremely tin-snfo tin-snfo without nn escort; nnd It Is ovon dangerous for ships to sond their peo-plo peo-plo on shoro for water unless they nro well armed. In short, tho Sanies nro tho Malays of tho Mediterranean." |
