Her Lenten Sacriices.

''My wife is having hard time of it
during Lent" says the man with the
rambling whiskers. 'She is trying to
go without candy, and it is really a
great trial to her.
"Well," says the man with wilted
eyebrows, my daughter is certainly
making a record. She isn't eating a bit
of meat-not even fish and eggs"
'You don't say!'
"Fact. And she doesn't eat any
candy, nor does she go to the theater."
''Well, Welln' ;.
'And, more than that, she hasn't
played single hand of bridge.
You don't tell me? How about dane
ing?"

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 FISH
caught in salt water.
The weakfish swim in large schools
near the surface and are very voracious,
destroying the young, even of their own
kind. 1t is abundant along the entire
coast except when interfered with by the
bluefsh, it's 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 weakfsh, and in many in
stances whole schools are driven away
where they would otherwise be plenti-
full. Some seasons we find them scarce
throughout it's 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 cratic in temperament
and movement; one day it is taken on a
certain tide, the next day it bites on
another tide; sometimes it will bite we'll
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 anchor too
forcefully have tendency to drive them
all away. Thunder will send them to
the bottom, and perhaps two days will
intervene before they will again rise to
the surface. If sharks are in the Vi
entity, 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 in
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 go about it
may land from ten to fifty fish during
change of tide.-Louis Rhead in The
Outing MAGAZINE

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by T. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con-
stitutional cure on the market 1t is, taken
