ALIVE WITH FIsH.-A correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun, writing from
Florida, tells about fishing in that state
as follows: / have seen colored boys
with an ordinary pole cut from the
woods, a line not over four feet long,
and fly, rudely constructed OF white
and red flannel, catch eighty pounds Of
black bass in couple OF hours. These
fish average from two to twelve pounds.
An eight pound bass is common. a
few days ago gentleman residing in
Gainesville caught and weighed on
Fair banks scales, in the presence OF a
number of Northern visitors here, a
black bass weighing ninstsen and one
quarter pounds. Tradition says one
was caught here last year that weighed
twenty-three pounds. All the small
streams flowing into this lake are also
full of bass. Day before yesterday l
saw three small boys standing in a
stream, about three feet wide, and may
be foot deep, each armed with q
piece of hoop iron, with which they
killed, in a half hour l was present.
eight good-sized bass, together with
some other varieties Of fish. Another
boy of the same party, with a two
bushel corn bag, made one haul in the
same stream of ten bass. But this Is
not all. During the late heavy rains
the water backed up some distance in
to the woods and back country, and
after they subsidized any number of black
bass, google eyes, and small perch
could be found foundering in the mud
and among the trees. These accounts
of fishing extraordinary may read very
fishy, but they are nevertheless facts.

THE HEAVIEST MAN ON RECoRD.-
Darden Miles, probably the largest
man on record, born in North Carolina
in 1890, died in Henderson county,
January 23, 1875. He was Z feet 9
inches high and in 1s45 weighed s7l
pounds. AT his death his weight was
little over 1000 pounds. Until 1912
he was active and lively and able to
labor, but from that time was obliged to
stay at home, or be hauled about in a
two horse wagon.
In 1889 his coat was buttoned
around three men, each of them weigh
ing more than 200 pounds, who walked
together in it across the square at Lex
ington. In 1850 it required l2a yards
of cloth, Ole yard wide to make him a
coat His coffin was eight feet long,
s5 inches deep, 80 inches across the
breast, l8 inches across the head and
IA inches across the feet; and So yards
of black velvet was requisite to cover
the sides and lid. He was twice mar
ried, and his children are very large
though probably none of them will
ever reach the weight of their father

MISTAKEN JEALoUsY.-A CURIOUS
ScENE.-It is not often that people are
mistaken on a mere question Qfidentity,
but sometimes such things will occur.
A very amusing incident arising from
this cause occurred at the corner Of
Canal and Royal streets yesterday after
noon. A lady about entering Ram
part street car saw, as she supposed, her
husband taking leave of another woman
at the point in question. Having heard
repeated rulnors of his gallantries, she
determined 20 settle the matter definitly.
With a rather hasty judgment, she rap
idly regained the street and approached
the lady who, standing on the corner,
was still looking after the gentleman
who had gone into the store.
"You seem to be very wellacquainted
with that geutlemani" was her sudden
and unexpected salutation.
"Madam !" was the surprised rejoind-
er, accompanied by a look which clearly
denoted her questioners sanity.
81 say you appear to be acquainted
with that gentleman J!
"Well, yes-somewhat."
GLOW long have you known him"
ga number of years. He's my hus-
band"
"Indeed ! He's mine, too"
"What do you meant" cried the
lady evidently excited.
"Just what l say. He's my husband! J!
The lady darted into the store, and
the next moment reappeared with the
unfortunate benedict.
"William, this lady says you are her
husband !"
One glance, however, was sufficient,
the lady saw her mistake, and crying
with vexation and shame, frankly con-
fessed IL.
