The above conversation isnot imaginary.It took place lit the office of a big corporation. And it is reported verbatim. Most men know they should carry insurance. Apart from their plain duty to themselves, and families,. they know that insurance is 'a good business proposition—l'hey realize that it is an evidence of the farsightedness which tells in the business world. But—many otherwise shrewd men, when taking out insur- ance, do not exhibit the sagacity, Browner prospective employer was looking for—They fail to insure in a reliable company.

The Russian army officer is usually a well educated man and widely read in his profession. but the limited dr ole from which he isdrawn neceasart ly brings down the average of talent in view of the number of officers re mitred for so vast an army. A cadet in the Russian service must comp from a noble ramps, from a'n'otHciati fami• ly . or from a •wealthy and in0uentiai ' commercial family whose- head Mae never kept an open:,store." The instruction' given in the Military academy and Cadets' school at St Petersburg is considered .by, military experts to be as good as any in the world, except possibly that of Weal Point and that of the Military aeade my at Santiago, Chile, which are sup poeed to be unquestionably the beet. Great attention is paid to physical culture and to the education of the cadets in the military ideals of boos and loyalty. After they pass out of the training institutions, If thereat, 'keen and ens' ter'prising young:fellows,'tliet+ contrfae to be sent to one of the Turkestan reglmente or tit some• lonely outpost in the Cets&asus, 1n Siberia or tri' Man- churia, . where they may reasonably look forward to a chance of active service.

There are no keener sports lass than the Russian ointer's in Si beria and central Asia. Their guar• tors ase always adorned by each spoils of the ebase as tiger skins, boors' bends, bison tusks and wolf skins I1 is these men wbo will bear the brunt of the Russian campaign in the near east. and nearly every distinguished officer to the Russian eerrtee bas gone through this stern training.

In Masan garriem teems social life nearly e.1 ways takes precedence of military duty, and the officers are glad enough to delegate to noueommiaslonpd offi- cers the tiresome work of drilling and looking atter their men. White disci plum is rigidly maintained, there is a general atmosphere of tiredness which astonishes the foreign visitor.

Wilms all eerie of men and all kinds of intellect into tabs service, but every effort is made by the officers of most regiroonts in Asiatic Russia to develop the intelligence of the rank and file. The Ooeaaeks, Russia's horsemen. from the south of the European par' 'of 'the empire, are numbered aipong the famous cavalrymen,s)2 the weaad. They are splendid horsemen' and good fighters, but their amenability. to disci. piing is defibted. The average "sotsia" or troop is ,mere like a happy family , than a military oreanimation. Tee Cos.

"As he becomes more and more prosperous he looses hie military qualf- ties because he naturally does not care to leave bis farm and perhaps never' ere it again. A Cossack should be as) lowed to own nothing except Ills horse. his saddle and his weapons." Gwar,s. was Rood cewspeeignere. If there is one thing in which the Russian army excels it le mares Loyd Roberti,' famous march to Can. dahar hes been equaled over and over again by the rear's troops in their Oen. tial Asian campaigns. When General Eoaropetit1n marched a farce of Tur- kestan urkestan troops to join Skobeleff in an attack on the Turcomans be and his men were swallowed up in an un- known trackless desert for twenty-six days, yet they covered over forty miles a day and marched in at the end of the time in perfect military order without a singte man sick or fallen out. It was a wonderful feat, but it was not re, girded in Russian military circles as being anything extraordinary.'

Money Appropriated For Array. In .event years, after the Russo4age arise war, the government has paid close attention to the matter of equip. ping the army for war.
