WEAKFISH.
Favorite of Anglers Along the Coast OF
the Atlantic

In abundance and popularity the
weaktish is known to more anglers of
the Atlantic coast than any other hsn
caught in salt water.
The weaktish swim in large schools
near the surface and are very voraclous,
destroying the young, even of their own
kind. 1t is abundant along the entire
coast except when lntertered with by the
bluefish, its bitterest enemy; both arrive
in the vicinity of New York about the
same time, but the latter being the
swiftest swimmer and more savage
fighter, possibly interferes with the food
supply of the weaktish, and in many in
stances whole schools are driven away
where they would otherwise be plentl-
full. Some seasons we lind them scarce
throughout its range, but this has not
happened for several seasons, indeed,
they have been remarkably abundant
and wonderful catches have been report
ed this season, particularly off the Staten
island shore and great South bay, ia
maica bay and City Island waters. The
weakfish is very erratic in temperament
and movement; one day it is taken on "A
certain tide, the next day it bites Oh
another tide; sometimes it will bite well
on windy days, and at other times on
calm days. 1t is extremely shy and
sensitive to vibration and sound; splash
ing OF oars, dropping the anchof 100
forcefully have tendency to drive them
all away Thunder will send them to
the bottom, and perhaps two days VIII
intervene before they will again rise to
the surface. If sharks are in the Vi
cinity, you may put up tackle for the
day Sometimes the fish are caught near
the bottom, then again, they are found
about midway between; it is supposed
they go where food is most plentiful.
1t is this uncertainty of locating them
that constitutes the greatest charm III
fishing for them. But, when once To-
Gated, and cumming is properly begun,
then begins real fishing in earnest; any
angler who knows how to so about it
may land from ten to fifty fish during
a change of tide.-Louis Rhead i'll The
Outing Magazine.

short Suggestions.

Apples cored for baking are delicious
filed with orange marmaade and a
little butter and sugar
When beating eggs observe that there
is no grease on the whisk, as 1T will
prevent the eggs from frothing.
One or two tablespoonful of am,
monia TO pail Of water will clean
windows better than anything else.
A few drops Of ammonia in a cupfu!
Of warm water, applied carefully, will
remove spots from paintings and chro-
mos.
Try little lemon and salt mixed
the next time a price mark sticks to
the bottom Of china dishes or bric-a-
brac.
Parmesan cheese sprinked thickly
over stewed tomatoes that are later
Drowned in baking dish gives them
an added zest.
Baked apples with cream are served
in many households for breakfast
before and heated for morning use.
Chestnuts have considerable food
value. The boiled and mashed pulp
may be used as one would use meat
or vegetables, even croqusttes being
made of it.
When making a -four paste to apply
to wall paper always add some dis.
solved alum. The alum not only makes
the starch hold better, but it will kill
any insects In the walls.
To skim grease from soup in a hur-
ry, use square sheets OF clean tissue
psper on the surface Of the soup. Lay
them on one at time. lift off lightly
and every bit Of fat comes Off.
