PEOPLE OF BRITTANY.- ~ The Women Mostly C Id and the Mea Mostly Drui;kiirds. "The women, not the men, go bald in Brittany," said a barber. "They go baid where it shows most—above the ears. Women, quite bald above, the sears, are as common, iv Brittany as Ibhldheaded men are v illi us. "Brittany is a granite strewn, hiily, weil wooded country iv northwest,:-:; France, overlooking the sea. It is N-w Hampshire, with the sea added. The Breton pea cants speak a language twbich resembles Welsh. They hate strangers, and they wear a peculiar !Co3tume. "This costume is what causes the baiiher.ded woman. Oue part of it, the coif, or headdress, a cup of white linen, requires that the hair he drawn back very taut from the temples. Drawn bark thus, as taut as It will go. it be gins to disappear at the age of twenty five, and by the time she is thirty-five or forty the Breton peasant woman looks as if she were the victim of some horrible disease, for, from her temples to well behind her ears, she is as bald as au egg. "The men, on the contrary, are never bald. For one reason, they work bare headed. For another, they belong to the low. animal type of man that pre serves a bead of thick, coarse hair to the end. They are a nasty lot, the men of Brittany —drunk every day or two. pi:;ting all the work on their wives, >■: iting ribald Insults In the Breton tongue at tourists."—St Louis Globe- Democrat. Sarcasm.

It is a rule Xn the British navy that when a ship is east away or oiberwise lost a court martial must sit In order to apportion the blame. Sometimes these courts really try and condemn those that are held to be responsible. At other times their duties are, from the very nature of the catastrophe, more or |e?a nominal. Thus, v,n the Serpent was lost oil the ; •;. pish coast, a court martial as sentl led and solemnly "tried" three or- dinar? bluejackets, the sole survivors, alt&otlgb they of bourse h id no more to do with the error in navigation which led up to the catastrophe than tbe man in the moon. . A similar solemn farce was enacted after the loss of the Captain in the bay of Biscay, when 483 offict rs and men lost their lives. In this case a gunner named James May, out' of the eighteen who escaped from the Wreck, war; the nominal "culprit." The ver dict was that the loss of the ship was due to instability and faulty construc tion. This really amounted to a vote of censure on Mr. Cowper Coles, the designer, but as he went down with the ungainly monster he hail created he was lteyond the reach of either blame or praise. Ou another occasion a small "m'uhly" of thirteen years of age was put upon his trial, and once, it is said, a court martial assembled on a cat, which chanced to be the sole living thing found aboard a derelict frigate.
