Science Tells How Fairies Once Lived

r N an address delivered before the An
thropological Section Of the British As
- ISOLATION an attempt was made to recon-
that these lively, delightful and beautiful
beings are not the creations Of the imagi-
nation Of centuries of story tellers but were
once real race Of people. The true key of
the idea is found in the fact that although
fairy women are generally represented as
lovely some Of the tribes of men fairies are
described as ugly, and fairy children when
left as changelngs are invariably pictured
as repulsive urchins of a sallow complexion
and most deformed about the feet and legs.
When one approaches the fairy question
in this way, the Professor pointed out, one
is forced, it strikes him, to conclude that
fairies as a real people consisted of short,
stumpy, swarthy race, which made its habi-
tations underground or otherwise cunningly
concealed.
They were hunters, probably, and fisher
men; at any rate they were not tillers Of
the ground or eaters of bread. Most likely
they had some of the domestic animals and
lived mainly on milk and the produce of the
chase, together with what they got by steal
ing.
They seem to have practised the art Of
spinning, although they do not appear to
have thought much of clothing. They APP
pear to have had a language Of their own,
which would imply a time when they knew
no other. and explain why when they came
to town to do their marketing they laid down
the exact money without uttering syllable
to anybody by way of bargaining for their
purchases. They counted by fives and dealt
only in the simplest of numbers.
They were Unfortunately fond of music and
dancing. They had marvellously quick
sense Of hearing and were consummate
thieves; but their thievery was not sys-
tematically resented as their visits were
held to bring luck and prosperity. More
