Many Lines Of insurance.

The English insurance companies do
not require a medical examination OF
the person to be insured. They will
issue q policy to anyone on the life
OF any other person, provided the ap-
plicant will pay the price asked. And
they insure many things besides lie.
They have insured the voice of a
singer, and the permanence Of the
gold filing In a tooth. And they will
guarantee that the gate receipts Of a
cricket match or . football game will
not fall below q certain sum.

newspaper or in some other place.
This brings him around all right, he
RECEIVERS from his spell and goes back
home. The case is authentic. His
wife always floods the country with
circulars when he disappears and
calls attention to the fact that he
forgets his name. His name is
George l.. Hunt, end his home is in
Lestershire, N 7. We have just
been notified that he has wandered
away from home for the fourth time.
He left about six months ago and no
trace of him has been found. He
always assumes a name, any name
that may occur to him at the time,
and be really believes it to be his
real name. You could never tell
there was anything mentally wrong
with him. He always secures a
position of some sort, as clerk or
agent, maybe. under the name
which he believes to be his correct
name, draws his salary under his
name, and goes about bis business
just as any other sane man would.
Suddenly he reads in some news
paper that he is again missing from
his home in Lestershire. In a Sec
ond he will remember who he is, and
without saying why, he will give up
his position, get on the train and
make for his home. He has played
in this strange role for the fourth
time, and is now away from home.
His wife is now making every effort
to find out where he is. It is one of
the strangest cases I ever saw. It is
q curious mental lapse because the
only evidence is found in the fact
that the man really forgets who he
is and where he belongs. In other
respects he is apparently as sane as
other men who are allowed to run at
large, and I might add that he is
much sounder mentally than a great
many men / have known"

"They are just waiting for rise
of the Mississippi to open the YazoC
canal, which will place the Hill City
once more ON the river said Gen.
eral 7. c. Catchings, of yicksburg,
who was in the city last ngiht OF
legal business.
1.-THE canal has been under way for
about two years, and is probably the
most important piece of engineering
work the government has had under
way during that time.
About 81, 250, 600 have been ex-
pended by the national government
in digging the canal and dredging the
channels through several lakes which
serve to complete the connection be-
tween the Yazoo and Mississippi
rivers Passing through the newly
cut canal, the Yazoo will pass right
by Vicksburg along the southern part
of the old bed of the Mississippi, and
discharge itself into that river some
distance below. The dams would be
cut now and the navigation begun
were it not for the fact that the lower
dams are holding up a volume Of
water about seventeen feet higher
than the Mississippi level, and to turn
it loose now would probably be disas-
trous. The water was damned up in
the old river bed through which
the Yazoo river will pass in order
to have sufficient water for the opera
tion of the hydraulic dredges.
1.-The opening of the canal will
be a great thing for Vicksburg and
that section of the country with
which Vicksburg has had rather
close commercial relations in the
past. There is now a sand bar at the
mouth of the YazOo river which
steamboats, can hardly get over, and
which has had the effect of making
Yazoo City practically the southern
terminus of the Yazoo trade. The
canal will reopen the entire river to
navigation, making Vicksburg the
southern terminus, and possibly pave
the way for a tri-weekly line of
steamers from Vicksburg up the

Jackson, Dec. e. Unlce" David
Fridgen, of Covington county, is
coming to Jackson on the 3rd of next
June to witness the laying of the cor
ner stone Of the new million-uo
state house. Ordinarily there would
be nothing worthy Of exceptional note
in this visit of Uncle David, were it
not for the fact that he is perhaps
the only person who will be present
on that occasion who witnessed the
laying of the corner stone of the pres
ent state house nearly sixty years
ago. The building was dedicated in
1914 and Mr.. Fridgen, who was then
young man, journeyed from the
wilds of COvington county to witness
the event. He is now bowed and
bent with the weight Of four score
of years, and rarely ventures from
his own door step, but has made up
his mind to board the vanished cars
and ride to Jackson on the 3rd of
June and see the corner stone of the
new building properly laid. Then he
is willing to die happy.

Mississippi, by the way, has not
