Victoria's perquisites is her right to
every whale or sturgeon captured on
the coast of the United Kiup-dora and
brought to land. ISnth of these per
quUiteadatc back to the days of the
Norman kings, and it appears that in
the cam? of the whale the monsters
were divided between the sovereign
and his consort, the queen takta? the
head in order that her wnrdnles
might be replenished with tUe whale
bone needed for the stiffening of her
royal garments.
Another of the queen's perquisites,
saya the Chicago Times b a certain
number nf magnificent cashmere
shawls, which are dispatched to her

.4 Cockatoo. Parallar Whim.
Iu the exhibit of Mile. Mariska Mik
losy, attached to llagenbcck'a tra'n-Ml
animal show, there is a cockatoo "- it
appears t have an nversion to Old t .g
land. One of the features which ht lo
to make Mile. Miklosy's trained eock
atooa a welcome item on the f o
gramme is insist s nf the hoisting of a
numlter of national flags. The third
flag to be hoisted is that of ( I rent Brit
ain. t'ntil recently the patriarch of
Mile. Mikloay'a flock, one "tiringolre,7
did the hoisting. Keeeatly, however,
another cockatoo, named "Vert-Vert.-
has been doing the work instead.
"Vert-Vert" does hia work splendidly,
except in one instance. At every per
formance he positively refuses to hoist
the English ' Union Jack. Neither
threat nor bribe can ind nee him to
elevate John 1'uU'a banner. He runs
the red, white and blue and the red,
white and black aloft with neatness
anl dispatch. Ho sends the stars and
stripe upward in gallant shape, but
when he gets to the fht of England ho
strikes work.
