Havana, Cuba-A cyclone Of un,
precedented severity, accompanied by
terrific dOWnpOur of rain, swept over
the provinces of Havana and Plnar

ed in 20 deaths in this city and the
serious injury of Il dozen or more per

At Camp Columbia.
The 1000 American soldiers and
marines at Camp Columbia were put

the 400 tents in camp were blown
down, but there was little actual dam
age. Harry Rosdlck, an army team
ster with the Twenty eighth infantry,

ably fatal injuries. He was crushed

Chonealt, Of Reading Pa, sustained
injuries to his back.

which they could not solemnize in accord
ance with the forms of religion not sa-
cred to both the contracting parties; in
fact, in this matter, their attitude was
similar to that of the Catholic clergy.
The subject OF usury, the source of so
many misfOrtunes to the Jews and the
real occasion for the whole of these tran
sactions, elected a complete and convinc-
ing answer. Usury was not, they rightly
stated, inherent in the Jewish nation, but
was the unfortunate result of their anon
alous position in the world They had
been driven out Of every honest occupa-
ton and condemned to traffic in money:
the Mosaic law did not, as was often fall
laclously asserted, inculcate the practice
OF usury which it was as wrong to extort
from stranger as from fellow-Jew.
The remaining question were more cas-
lily disposed of. Jews could lawfully en-
gage IN all themechanical arts, the liberal
professions and the profession of arms
No religious obstacle stood in the way of
any OF these; on the contrary, it was the
duty Of every Jew to bear arms in de-
tense Of the country Of his birth, where
ne enjoyed the rights Of citizenship. And
again, in accordance with the tenets of
the Mosaic law, the members Of all ma
tions acknowledging the Godhead of the
Creator were brothers, and it was the
duty of all good Israelites to treat them
at all times with justice and charity.
Having thus ended it's labors with sat-
lsfactlon to the Emperor, the sanhedrin

INSURANCE..
The Beginnings Of This Now Common
Mode of Protection.

The Beginnings of This Now Common
Mode of Protection.
The practice of insurance Was known
to the ancients, being in vogue at the
beginning of the Christian era,
The insurance of ships was undoubt-
eddy part Of the business OF the Hanse-
attic league, which was formed about
1140 by the port towns of Germany to
protect themselves against the pirates
Of Sweden and Denmark.
The custom of drawing out insurance
policies originated in Florence in 1923.
although a regular chamber of insur-
ance was formed at Bruges early in the
fourteenth century, and the practice
was i'll general use in Italy in 1854 and
In England in 1860.
Fire and life insurance is Of much
more recent origin. Some of the an
cient guilds provided compensation for
any of their members who suffered loss
from fire, but the insurance of goods
and houses as distinct branch of bust
ness cannot be traced farther back
than 1867, the year after the great fire
Of London.
The first regular company, the Hand
INLAND, was founded in 1896, and five
other companies still existing were
started in the quarter of century
which followed. Life insurance was
first undertaken by the Amicable in
1706.-L London tandard.

ANTIQUITY OF FISHING.
The Art of Angling Is as Old as the
Human Race.

The Art of Angling Is as Old as the
Human Race.
The art of angling no doubt had its
origin In mans necessities. The earl1-
est record of mankind makes reference
to the taking of fish for food. There
are frequent illusions to 1t In the Bible
lob, in the oldest book Of all, says:
"Canst thou draw out a ieviathan with
n hook or his tongue with cord which
thou lettest down? Canst thou~put a
hook In his nose?" Homer, i'll the
"Iliad. F" speaks of fishing in these lines:
AS bearing death in the fauacious bait,
From the bent angle sinks the leaden
weight.
And it ia recorded III the odyssey"
AS when the angler lis long rod in hand.
On a projecting rock assumes his stand
Costs fo tbe fiery fry the bai,ed snare.
Then filings the wrigglinG captives In the
air.
The Romans, Greeks and other races
of early days around the Mediterranean
nracticetl the art of angling. Plutarct
tells of n prank played by the fail
Egyptian. Cleopatra, while out fishing
with Antony, "They wagered on their
angling, and her divers did hang a
salt fish on his hook, which he with
fervor drew up"
The ruined walls of Herculaneum
md Pompeii abound in frescoes OF
fishermen. All along the track Of his
tory are found traces of this gentle
recreation, showing the gradual i'm.
movement from the hook of bone and
rude equipment of the cave man to the
elegant accessories and belongings OF
the modern angler.

VARIETIES OF CRAMPS.
Curious Affections of Men In Various
Walks of Life.

One OF the curious consequences Of
the modern division of labor is the
cramp that attacks those who constant
ly use their hands in one particular
manner.
Writing eramp was the first to APP
pear, being quite unknown until the in
PRODUCTION of steel pens. 1t affects men
far oftener than the fair sex, and, sim
gularly, those who suffer are not liter
airy men, but copyists. 1t is almost In
durable, and even when the left hand
is used the cramp very soon crosses
over to it.
Musicians of every kind are attacked.
Among pianists it is chiefly ladies am
bilious to become professionals who
are the Victims Violent pain, weak
ness and fatigue of the arm make play
ing an impossibility. Violinists are at
fected both in the fingers of the left
hand and the hand that holds the bow.
Clarinet players get cramps of the
tongue, and flute players get cramp in
the larynX.
Telegraphers suffer very often, and
they call it Gloss of the grip" Tailors
get cramps in legs as we'll as hands.
Smiths and carpenters get what Is
called hammer cramp," resulting from
the enormous number Of blows struck.
It is estimated that a forger of knives
and scissors strikes $4,000 blows every
day.
Drivers get cramps in the hand, espe-
cially in the case Of those who break in
hard mouthed horses. Cigarmakers,
vatchmakers, photographers, auction
GERS, sawyers, billiard players, dentists,
turner's, stampers, weavers. painters,
money counters and ballet dancers-ali
suffer from their own peculiar. cramps
and often so severely that they have to
exchange their employment for some
other.

is ASKED TO BUILD
A SCHOOL IN CITY
Suggestion of County High
School
MIGHT cosr $4,000
LevyIns of Additional Taxes Would
Provide Fund for High School 5ui' d.
ing. Suggestion Upon that Line Made
BY Prof Stewart.

Times-Recorder: The recommends
ton of the last grand jury looking to
the establishment of Sumter county
high school was wise one, and the
establishment Of this school should be
the next forward step of the city and
county.
The people could do no better thing
for the county than erect high school
plant, costing about $25 900, giving
secondary training to all the youths
of the county for four years.
The city needs addition accommoda.
tions for the more than 900 children in
school. In fact, the present building
is none too large to accommodate the
rapid increase in SCHOOL population,
which increase is a good evidence of
the prosperity Of the city.
The highschool will, therefore, need
more room for it's ever increasing stten-
dance and to take the place of the
rooms given to the grades.
The rural people have no high school
facilities but these children need them
as much as do the children of the. city
and when they can attend make our
best students.
High school equipment is costly.
Each district sannot maintain such
school but all the people can unite in
supporting one good one.
The schools of county and city will
be graded, so that pupil from any
school in the county completing the
7th grade can enter the first grade of
the High school. Two or three of the
stronger schools might continue their
course but all pupils should come to
the central school for graduation.
This community education of the
boys and girls will bring about spirit
of good will and helpfulness between
town and country that nothing else
can secure. It will knit the city and
county together. Each is dependent
upon the other, and each should help
the other. The development of the
country helps the city.
The highgchool could be operated by
a joint city and county board without
additional machinery. The boards
might be voted partly by city, partly By
the county, and the maintenance
could be secured by an additional
county tax of five to ten cents on the
hundred dollars.
The interest on the bonds and the
additional maintenance funds would
probably not exceed 10 cents on the
dollar, making the county tax 81 in
stead of 80 cents as at present.
Such plant would give The youth
of the county the best highgchool ad-
van,ages. strong literary courses and
additional courses in domestic science,
shop work, business, agriculture, and
equipment for teaching some other
sciences. J. s. STEWART,
