age to be at full market value. Many

the first buyer they can find, without
troubling themselves about the roots,

it says that, in its opinion, the sad
condition of the fishermen is partly
due to themselves.
They have never adopted improved
modern appliances for catching sar-
dimes, but have chung to antiquated
methods and outfit. If they had been
up to the times the committee be-
lleves that the catch would have been
sufficient, at least, to avert the almost
complete failure Of the seasons work.
the committee suggests that bet
ter appliances be at once introduced
and also that fishing be stopped on
the banks that are favorite resorts
of the sardine during the spawning
season.
The sardine fisheries along the
coasts of Spain and Portugal are said
to be yielding well. These sardines
are regarded as inferior to those of
the French coast, but they may prove
to be very useful this year in eking
out a diminished supply of the French
and American fisheriess.

Reports just received from all along
the Maine coast show that the small
herring which we cure under the
name of sardines are unusually scarce.
The factories say that enough fish
are caught daily to supply the i'm
mediate demands of the trade. Not a
case of sardines has yet been put
away for winter or spring supplies.
Similar reports are coming from
the French coast. The sardine fish
ermen of the coasts of Brittany and
Venice are in great distress and say
that their industry for this year is
ruined.
When the first news was sent
through France on May 10 that the
sardine fishery of the year was likely
to prove a failure the chamber of
commerce Of Bordeaux appointed a
committee to inquire into the condi-
ton of the industry. The committee
has made a preliminary report, in

fact that Dowie is a remarkable man,

with to buy picture books, he said,

him merely with a nod, as he scarcely

his name; but the hardware dealer
had recalled 1t and upon it had put
an emphasis; so, refining up his horse,
he motioned the man to stop.
