A Primitive People.

II it is hard to know anything about
the surface life of the Bigoudines, it
is still more difficult to penetrate their
thought; to know whether their brains
are agitated by anything but the sim
pie ideas of the very primitive peoples
the naive reveries of children, or
whether they have preserved some
vague traditions of the upheavals of
humanity which have ended by cast
ing them upon this extreme point OF
land. They speak a language which
has no amliation with any ordinary
tongue. 1t is Breton, but Breton
full of unknown words and strange
idioms, as yet unstudied by any phil
ologist. AS to the French language
they ignore it, Intentionally ignore 1t.
