Feeding Habits ofltli-e Weakflsh. “The weakfish,” said an old fisher- man, “appears to be very intelligent and quite well- able to provide itself with food. It will come up on the flood and work its way into the shallow places in the flats, looking for things to eat, per- haps for soft shell crabs. It noses the ulva, or sea lettuce, about, looking un- der it for anything that may have been left there by the tide or that may have come there after the tide went out. I’ve seen weakfish swim under a boat that I was in that was anchored on the flats, on the way to places where the flood tide was making up. As the tide gets higher the weakfish works along the sedge bank. The sedge bank is where the meadow land adjacent to a bay meets the sand; there may be there a bank perhaps 18 inches or 2 feet high at low water, and as the water rises the weakfish swims along this bank, look- ing, and when the flood tide, still ris- ing, rises above the edge of the bank and? runs back in the sedge grass the weakfish goes with it, looking about'in the grass for things good to eat just as he did under and about the ulva and in the shallow places on the flats. ”—NeW York Sun. ' She Lent the Queen an Umbrella. Many stories are told about Queen Victoria in connection with her visits to poor people. I heard a very amusing one the other day. When on one of her ram- bles in the country, the queen was caught in a shower, and she entered an old woman’s cottage, the inmate of which did not recognize herlsovereign. “Will you lend me an umbrella?” asked the royal lady. The woman looked at her visitor in a suspicious manner, and replied: "I hae twa umbrellas; ane is good and ane verra old. Ye may take the old one. I guess I will never see it again. ” And she offered the queen a tat- tered article, which was quietly accept— ed. She was sufliciently- punished. for her grumpiness, however, when she dis- covered who her visitor had been—Lon- don Home. \ ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1895.
