INSURANCE LONG IN FORCE
Fret Introduced When Sea Voyages
Were Accompanied by Many
Periis.

The practice of insuring originated
from marine insurance. for merchants
sending goods by sea in early times
usually accompanied the ship them
selves, and were liable to capture by
Moorish or Turkish pirates. With a
view to providing th. necessary ran
som to secure their release it became
customary before eInbarking to pav
an agreed premium to certain indivi
duals called underwriters who were
willing to guarantee payment of the
ransom in the event of the merchant
being captured. From this beginning
the practice was gradually extended
to insuring the lives. first of mariners
and then OF other persons
In 1874 Queen Elizabeth granted a
patent to Richard Chandler under
which he established Chamber of
Insurance in London with the object
of regulating all contracts of insur-
ance, but this Chamber. with prob
ably all its records, was destroyed by
the great fire Of 1866. The earliest
recorded life policy was issued in June

HOLD ALL ANIMALS SACRED
Natives Of Dutch East Indies Have
SorupIes Against Killing Any
Of Brute Creation.

"The natives Of the island of Bali
in the Dutch East Indies have peculiar
superstitions about animals" says a
writer in the Wide World Magazine.
Dogs, for instance, are never de-
stroyed, and, much to the annoyance
of the European residents, the pariahs
are allowed to increase to an unlim-
tied extent. According to Balinese
ideas, dogs are the reincarnatiOn of
those OF their poorer brethren who
were buried after death instead of be-
ing cremated, which is the more luxu-
rious method of getting rid of the
dead. To kill dog, therefore, is as
great 4 sin as killing poor fellow
creature. With regard to the tiger,
the natives believe that that animal
Is also the reincarnation of another
caste of the community, and nothing
will induce them to shoot it.
They tell, with great impressive
ness, the story of an old Balinese man
who once came face to face with a
tiger in the Jungle. Gazing at the mon
ster fxeGly he addressed it as follows
What have I done to thee that thou
lookest so ferociously at me? Have
ever done thee any harm: and art
thou not my brother clad in the skin
of a tiger? I pray thee go thy way
in peace, and leave me alone Where.
upon It is said, the tiger turned tail
and walked away majestically into
the depths Of the Jungle"

Another Fallacy.

The general accepted belief, ac-
cording to the Rule (Tex. Review,
that person is useful IN proper
ton as he is busy, is controverted
by writer who says:
81 have dog that is loaded
with f1eas. In the summer time,
when the feas are plenty, that is
the busiest dog | ever saw; when
he isn't biting tieas he is swapping
at the flies. He never has minute
to spare, bat when he is the busiest
he is the least account for practical
purposes. And there is young
fellow in my neighborhood who
has cheap watch and smokes Gig
arettes. When be isn't windin g
his watch he is lighting a cigarette.
He is a mighty busy young man,
but be isn't worth two whoops in

With Il dozen Of saloons in oper-
alton, this county has built about
forty miles of rock road in eighty
years. This county seriously needs
two hundred miles of such road.
If we do as we'll with our saloons
in the future as we have in the
past, we can build that amount of
road in four hundred years. If
we close the saloons and use the
S25O,O0O year which they cost
our people, we can build two hun

1t seems John ID. Rockefeller

1t seems John d. Rockefeller is
about to start a worldwide phiIan-
thropic enterprise for the distribu-
tion of larger portion of his
great wealth in charity, and thus
inaugurate Il scheme to raise the
"worthy poor" from the depths of
their poverty and degradation,
which example he is endeavoring
to have endorsed by act of con-
gress, and hopes, evidently, to
see it spread among his confreres.
This is all very fine. John D. has
big heart, that bIeeds for the
poor and unfortunate. The best
reply from the press upon this
proposition we have seen Was ex
pressed in the Globe Democrat in
a cartoon, which shows John d.
in the character of Il stage magi-
clan, conjurlng the dollars out of
the pockets If tho people with his
magic wand, through his hat and
back to the people rs the individual
benevolence of John D. OF course
the stream of money is thicker ut
the start than it is at the finish. OF
all The frauds practiced upon the
masses, charity, either public or
private, is the worst. 1t is a sham
in the beginning and shame in
the end. The finest of all social
schemes is that which makes char.
ity impossible and gives each indi
vidual his living as his inherent
right for the part he plays, be il
large or small, in promoting ths
welfare of the whole community

con, Mr.. Roosevelt said suddenly
"Well. there's nothing like test.
Aside from the work your bayonet
does, Crozier, the troops complain
that it's too weak. Suppose we

Mr.. Roosevelt sent for couple

He gave General Crozier the one
adorned with his own invention,

Feet we'll spread, weapon in posi-

''On guard there, Crozier!"
The noble North Briton sat
aghast. Surely the head of the
greatest nation on the map was not
about to fence with real bayonets
against an experienced soldier!
With the best and most skillful
play, with the most forbearing
caution, there was obvious peril in
it! Either one or the other might
get himself stuck like pig! The
noble North Briton could not cred.

they were, the President and the
General, fencing, thrusting, par
rying like born foes.
The play went Oh for full two
minutes. Then there was a rasp-

snap! The Roosevelt sword bayo-

heaved deep breath and came
out or his trance. He tells the

it is greatly disbelieved.
