The above conversation isnot imaginary.It took place lit

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-

Russian Officers Well Trained.
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

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.
