Tic Snrdlnn Fishery.

The sardipe fishery, which begins in
June and goes on to the end almost OF
November, is, as may be imagined, avery
important industry, occupying as it does
the greater part Of all Brittany that is
to say, sarlines arc taken Mt Roscoif, the
mostnortherly point which they frequent,
and thence southwards rs fur as the coast
of Spain. The great depots, however,
nre Douarnenez and Concarneau, which
places take about one.third of the whole
catch, which Is estimated Mt six hundred
millions OF fish annually, and gives rise
to large transactions in olive oil, which
is used in enormous quantities in what is
called the "iabrication dc sardines n
Phuile.' There is another branch of the
trade called "la sardine pressee," which
consists in placing the fish (after salting)
in large barrels and preserving them
down these cannot be kept long, and
consequently are not exported. This
tra 10 is comparatively unimportant-
The fishery for sardines is one OF the
prettiest sights which can possibly be
seen the boats go out twice day, and
the return Of the fleet of eight or nine
hundred boats at sunset from the mouth
OF the bay or Douarncncz "a distance of
some twelve miles, Is n sight on fine
evening in autumn to dwell upon the
memory. The boats engaged in fishing
number nearly thousand they are Of
about six tons burden, aud manned by
five fishermen each they snil very fast,
carry deal OF canvas, mnsts rake good
deal, and they are not decked. The fish,
ing is carried on in the following man.
ner. Arrived ut tho point where they
expect to find the fish, the captain spreads
his net from the stern of the boat they
have corks ut the upper edge and lead Mt
the lower, and arc arranged so us to fall
and dip in vertical position he then
throws into the sen, on each side of the
net, the bait, Goldfish roe from Norway,
of which the snrdine is excessively fond /;
trying to pass through the nets to get at
it, they arc caught. When one net is
full another is joined on, and this is con-
linued to the end of fishing. The pre-
paration of the fish is also very curious
in its details. As soon as the boat comes
ashore, the men land their fish in baskets,
one in each haid two hundred fish in
each basket; they wash them, and then
turn them out on large tables, where
women, ranged around, salt them in
heaps, and cut their heads of. This
first operation done, they are again
washed, and placed to dry on gridirons /;
when thoroughly dry they are cooked in
the ovens, women then arrange them in
boxes Of various sizes, and fill with finest
olive oil, after which the boxes are closed
by soldering, and lastly, placed in large
iron basket and plunged into boiling
water, where they rcmain two hours.
This completes the fabrication" The
boxes are then polished by children pro-
vided with brushes, and they are packed
in wooden cases of one, two hundred
boxes, and 20 on.

Switches and ChIgaons.

Few persons, says the Boston CONNER.
ciai Bulletin, probably realize the magni.
tude which the articles Of switches and
chignons have reached. The first
switches were made in Central Falls, Il,
L, by n workman in one Of the flax mills,
For long time all that were used-tho
number Of which at first were quite
small-were made there. Afterward n
firm in Providence commenced the
manufacture. The price then was 500
to 5000, realizing large profit to the
manufacturer. Switches then retailed
ut S1.5O to $500, are now sold at % to
81 cents. Several parties started in this
city employ from ten to forty men each.
Some idea Of the amount manufactured
can be found from the experience of the
largest Of Boston manufacturers, employ
ing forty mon hacking and finishing the
iute, and fifty to sixty girls in the manu-
facture OF chignons, using ten bales OF
800 pounds each and 5000 pounds OF
hair per day. This firm used over 600
bales (1S0,000 pounds) in less than three
months, Mt times producing $50 dozen
per day of switches alone. Much has
been said of the presence Of insects in
the iute, but it was probably without
truth. In the large amount used by this
firm, no sign of one was ever seen, and
the article of iute is MS clean, or more so,
than human hair in the course Of manu-
facture; ut least one half the weight is
combed out at one time. The prejudice
was so strong agninst them, particularly
in the State OF Maine, That they could
not be sold nt all.
There nre also many switches made OF
fine glazed cotton thread, also Of silk
dyed without washing out the gum,
which gives it the nearest resemblance
to hair, OF any article used. Much Of
this hair silk is woven the same rs rib
bons, and afterwards braided like wool
into chignons. Jute in great measure
superseded this article, owing to its
extreme cheapness. At one time during
Inst Summer the stock in market was
almost entirely used up, from immense
quantities used for this purpose, causing
it to advance nearly so per cent. inprice.

Afternoon tea-parties are very much in
vogue.
Dark brown kids wear better than my

Blonde hair and black moustache is
the latest rage.
The surest badge OF vulgarity is ring

Ladies' are beginning to wear Tyroleso

Pale straw color Is tho last fashionable
tint for note paper.
All the bellies have reefed their long
promenade dresses.
Painting is getting to be he fashion,

Everybody is wearing blue now, no

The latest shoes for ladies have the
wearer's monogram on the instep.
Chatelaine braids arc disappearing,
and ladies hilir is getting high again.
The "Boston Dip" being declared
vulgar, has been rebaptized as the Glide
waltz.
The very latest thing is to send with
invitations card intimating that the
aflair begins nc such at hour, and q re-
quest 10 the invitee to come early.
Round hats for white muslin are much
affected by ladies for country wear, be-
ing cool and large, and with the addition
Of flower or ribbon can be made to
look very dressy
The new style of bonnets for next Fall
is said to be something really new, and
many milliners think they will have to
hire few people to wear them, so as to
get people used to their decidedly unique
appearance.
Young Indies are adopting very gener-
ally for use in their country rambles

Carpets are now completely banished
from all our country houses. Pure
white mating, or else the natural wood,
is now the proper thing. Warmth and
color are given by means Of numerous
brilliant rugs. .

Mr.. Beccher, in his Christian Union,
vouches for the truth Of this story:
A narrow log lay as bridge over
ravine. From the opposite ends OF the
log, ut the same moment, there started
to cross it big Newfoundland and
little Italian greyhound. OF course they
met in the middle; OF course there was
not room for them to pass neither
could they go back. The height was q
dangerous one for the greyhound, and to
the water at the bottom he was extreme
ly ayerse. The Newfoundland could
have taken the leap in safety, but eyi-

ings. Presently he gave nudge with
his nose to the bowling grcyhound-as
II to say, "Bestill, youngster, and listen"
Then there was silence and seeming con-
fabulation for q second or two. 1mme-
diately the big dog spread his legs wide
apart like Colossus, bestridlng the log
on its extreme outer edges, and balancing
himself carefully. The little dog sprang
through the opening like 6ash. When
they reached the opposite shore the grey
hound broke into frantic gambols Of de-
light and the Newfoundland after the
more sedate fashion expressed great com
plncency in his achievement as he surely
