FEAR OF YELLOW FEvER.-Of all
the sources and causes OF deaths to
which the citizens Of Holmes county
who have kept from outside infected
points have ever been subjected, yel.
low fever worked the most fear and
and least harm, says the Lexington
Advertiser. Probably $4,000 persons
have died In Holmes county from
measles, malaria, whooping cough,
diphtheria, pistols, shotguns, light.
ming, falling trees and horses, run.
away teams and the like, counting
their victims by the score, and yellow
fever contracted in our border counts
but one person. Fears OF imaginary
evils weigh more heavily than actual
dangers.

Rev. Irwin Miller, Of Walnut Grove,

Rev. Irwin Miller, Of Walnut Grove
State Senator for the seventeenth dis
trict, In a communication to the
Clarion.Ledger, discusses the KigeI
letter and q new State Capitol a.
follows:
II have read with interest the open
letter Of my friend DR.. Kiger, Senator
from the twelfth district, on the Capt.
tOl question, and l heartily indOrse
its contents.
II cannot see the wisdom OF wrang.
ling as to Who Killed Cock Robin or
Who Struck Billy Patterson There
are many Of the Governors best
friends (Of whom l am One) that
think he made mistake In vetOing
the capitol bill, but he Is not the only
man that makes mistakes. l have
made many, both In public and private
life, and l think that Others beside
the Governor have made mistakes in
relation to the Capitol question, but
this, in my Judgment, is not the mat
ter 70 be discussed now.
"Let the Governor In his message
authorize US to legislate on the Capl.
tOl question; then Jet US come TO.
gether, as statesmen should do, and
provide for new Capitol On the line
suggested by DR.. Kiger, SO that we
can have the new Capitol ready for use
when the new Legislature meets 10
January, 1890. Both Mr.. Weathers and
Mr.. Gordon assured me they could
complete the new bdilding ln eighteen
months after the contract was let. l
do hope this line Of policy will be
ad0pteU, apd that there will be no
more wrangling Ovc.- this question.
1T certainly Is a patens .sact that
we need a new Capitol, and that the
people OF the State want one. am
not In favor Of spending q dollar re-
pairing the old building, and l am
sure u large majority OF the Senate
are with me on this question; even II
the House were to pass 4 bill for re-
pairing, 1t could not get through the
Senate; SO, my brother Senators and
Representatives, I beg Of you to lay
aside past differences and let US meet
together in the spirit OF compromise,
and provide for the building Of a new
CAPITOL"

WANTS A LOCAL QUARANTINE.-A
Washington correspondent Of the New
Orleans Picayune thus speaks OF our
Mark Dees, now In Washington try.
Ing to regulate quarantine matters:
Hon. NJ. A. Dees, foater Representa-.
tive OF Jackson and Harrison counties
10 the Mississippi Legislature, is at
Howard House. This evening he call.
ed 90 Senators Walthall and Money
and Representative Love, and had a
talk with them about National and
State quarantine laws.
Mr.. Dees found the Mississippi
Representatives and Senators anxious
for full Information from their con.
stituents as to what powers OF Quaran.
tine ought tn be given to the United
States Marine Hospital Service and
what powers ought to be left with the
States and municipalities.
Mr.. Dees thinks that the experience
OF his people last summer gOes to
show that they should have National
quarantine to cOntrOl all vessels until
they are entered IS registered 1t the
custom houses. But that the States
should control all irrational quar-.
antlleS.

ANCIENT BARERS.


/ ~~o0-se>S'
The cut Of the beard, according 10
the ancient Jewish writer's, ftarted in
the Garden OF Eden. Adam, they tell
Us, was several miles in height, and
was furnished with prodIgious beard
which reached to his middle. The an.
:ient Jews, presumably on account Of
this believed Edenic origin, held the
beard 10 such high esteem that they
considered 1t greater Insult TO seize
q man BY his beard than TO tread on
his corns. They cherished the hair
on their faces as the callow youth Of
to-day does his adolescent mustache,
trimmed 1t in various forms, perfumed
1t with odorous substances, and cut IL
only as sign Of great afnicti0n. So
far did they carry their veneratlon for
its dignity that laws we're actually
passed regarding the manner Of wear
ing. This was probably does, howev-
er, 10 order that the chosen people
might not initiate the neiehboring
races that made hair offerings to their
gods, nor their former masters, the
Egyptians, who were great patrons Of
BARRIERS.
The barber's lot was happy one In
the land Of Egypt, where the people
had such high regard for the tonso-
rial art thatsthe majority OF the men
shaved not only the face, hut the en-.
tire head, and capped their bald pates
with wigs, ~,s.ila the priests went even
further and shaved the entire body
every third day. WitAthis coS.stant
scrapinR OF chins going on, the bar.
ber's trade was an important one In
the home of the PharOahs, and It's
followers were kept busily running
throughout the length and breadth OF
the laad from early morning until
sunset. They carried their tools in
an 0pe0.mOuthed basket and their ra-
zOrs we're shaped like small hatchet.
with curved handle.
