Sardine Fisheries. — The Bulletin of France, states that the 

 sardine fisheries commenced work on the French coast in July. The 

 business is carried on most largely in the Bay of Dowarnenez, where 

 the fish are yielding very well this year, and the price varies from 8 to 

 10 francs per thousand. A boat, with a crew of three to four men, 

 will return at night with from 15,000 to 20,000 fish. When landed, the 

 fish are taken in baskets to the packing house where the heads and 

 entrails are removed and the fish thrown into salt water to lie for 

 several hours. They are then washed in clean water and spread on 

 wire drying-frames till dry. The frames and fish are then dipped in 

 boiling oil for a few minutes, after which the fish are packed in the
