The present population Of Brittany is about

canned sardne. Other countries and other
parts of France produce sardines but the
,sardine par excellence comes from Brittany.
Brittany is the center of the sardine fish
cry and has all of the numerous establish
ments for the canning Of the fish. In aver
age season the Brittany sardine fishermen
number $4,000 to 10000 and catch 100000 900
to 1500O0.O00 pounds Of sardnes. for which
they receive 81, 100000 to $3,0O000O. while the
s shore industries dependent on the fishery give
employment to 10000 other persons, mostly
women and girls. So important is the sardne
that in many communities in Brittany every
person is directly indirectly supported by
II, and the failure Of the fish to come means
ruin. starvation and death to many people in
the more isolated places
Sardnes are found on the coasts OF Brit
tany throughout the year, but occur in great
est abundance in summer and autumn. The
small fish, in demand for canning purposes,
have been hatched from eggs laid in the pre-
vious summer at considerable distance from
the land and go in schools at or near the-sur-
face. AS many as 100000 have been taken at
one time in one net from one school, but the
usual size Of the schools is not remarkably
large.
Like other free-swmming oceanic fish, of
which the mackerel. bluefsh and herring are
conspicuous examples. the sardine varies in
abundance from wear to wear and at times haa
been exceedingly scarce on the French coasts
Thus. from 1887 to 1890, there was an alarm
ing scarcity. but after this four.year period
the nsh returned in ~ great numbers A. ever
Again. from 1902 to 1905, the sardine disap-

theories have been advanced to account for

as the seventeenth century, and 1t is an inter-
esting fact that the veneration accorded the
heathen deities in the earliest centuries Of
Breton history was easily transferred to the
Holy Family and the Christian saints when
the new religion reached the country. In no
other part Of Europe. II indeed in any other
part of the world. has Christianity absorbed
SO much of earlier creeds, and 1t requires no
particularly astute observer to appreciate that
many features Of Breton religious practice to-
day are relics Of prehistoric paganism.
1t is easy to understand how the supersti-
tious temperament Of the Bretons has been
developed by their isolated geographical posi-
ton and the impressive character of the coun-
try, by their distinct language and by their
being brought constantly in contact with those
strange megathic remains which are here
more numerous than anywhere else.
A sympathetic foreigner has given ad-
mrable estimate Of Brittany and the Breton
character that should always be borne in
mind:
'rhose who would wish to see Brittany as
she really is must not look at her wild and
barren plains, her bleak, dreary mountains.
her dark and sombre forests her stormy and
rock-bound shores and her lonely lovely val
leys with the hasty glance they cast on any
other passing landscape with the hard prac-
tical eye and fastfdious tastes Of modern trav-
elers: they must think Of her the land
that has been consecrated by the earliest feats
of chivalry, perhaps the only spot in the mod
ern world that has preserved in her legends
untarnished the eternal youth of phantasy.'
Here 1t is not only the spirit that haunts the
last years bowers but the spirit of ages past,
that looks you in the face.

choly Breton. alternately taciturn and elo-

The original name Of Brittany was
Armorica. which was changed in con-
sequence of extensive immigration
from Great Britain in the fifth and
sixth centuries. The Armorican tribes
formed . part Of that race of which the
Irish, Highland Scotch and Manx con-
stitute one division and the Welsh,
Cornish and Breton the other. The
Celtic language there spoken at the
present time is divided into three or
four rather distinct dialects and is un-
derstood, II not actually used by a very
large percentage Of the native popula-
ton. Many of the older Bretons can
not speak French and in 1902 it was
found that the French language was
unknown or unused by 100000 of the
people. The government now requires
the learning of French by the young.
SO we may expect the gradual disuse
and final death Of this ancient tongue.
Taking brief glance at the history
of Brittsny. we may note that at very
