Show Peasants of Sardinia. Sardinia wns a wild place in the mtddlo of tho last centurv. A traveler says: "Tho men are clo" ed In goatskins, goat-skins, one beforo and another behind, without breeches, shoes r stockings, and a woolen or skin car n tho head. The women " "ve no oth"- habiliments than n long woolon gown and a woolen cap. The peasants nlways go armed to defend thcmBelves from ono another, an-other, to that traveling In tho Interior In-terior Is extremely unsafe without an escort; and It is even dangerous for ships to send their peoplo on shore for water unlets they are well armed. In short, tho Sardes are tho Malays of tho Mediterranean." |
