"RADIx," in one of his recent New
York letters, makes a good point apropos of
life insurance Investigations and troubles
generally, by calling attention to the fallacy
of Judging OF the reliability of companies
according to their bulk. Many such ~institu-
tons seek to dazzle the public eye by print
ing their large gross assets in the heaviest
type, and by laying great stress upon the
nominal millions under their control to win
confidence m prevent any close analysis of
the whole statement. He points out the
plain, but often forgotten fact, that even con
ceding the equally good quality Of the assets
OF two companies, it is not necessarily the
one with the most millions which is safest
for the policy holder, but the one whose net
surplus bears the largest ratio to its whole
property. Judged by this sound and search
ing principle, s"Radix" tinds the Etna Life
Insurance Company, of Hartford, to be one
OF the strongest, if not the very strongest,
institution Of the kind in the country.
With a little over twenty-four millions of
assets, it has about four and a quarter
millions of clear surplus. The special com
mission appointed by the Legislature Of
Connecticut a year ago, to investigate all
the life insurance companies of that State,

but financially sound, and under the man.

experience, sound judgment and unblem-

this writer's estimate of the .Etna Is one
that can be every where safely Endorsed.

correspondence OF tne BOSTON Advertiser.
When you reach the end of the Navsky
you should go down on the English quay.
This is the Beacon street of st. Peters
burg. 1t rum along the banks of the
Neva, and here, on mi side, are the
English embassy, the Hermitage, the
emperors winter palace, and the admir-
atty buildings. Looking at the Neva,
on the other side, you can imagine you
are gazing across some great snOw-covered
field, with roads marked across it here
and there by evergreen. shrubs. Before
people are allowed to cross the ice police
men 20 upon it in large squads to test it.
When the river is safely frozen all the
temporary bridges are taken away. As
you drive along the quay / would advise
you to notice what a number of hand
some women you meet, with their broad
fur collars and jaunty caps, the white
fimsy shawls which they wrap about
their ears showing to advantage the rosy
tint which the fresh air brings out in
their cheeks. The black fox is the
costliest fur which ladies wear, excepting
always the sable, which is not warm
enough for the winter in Russia. Black
fox is the same a. the silver fox in
America; the back of the animal is black,
the rest of his body is the silver fur.
For gentlemen the elk is the handsomest,
but it is horribly expensive, and the bear
skin, which is much cheaper, has nearly
as good an effect. Now the short winter
day is drawing to 4 close, and before
night falls and all the st. Petersburg
world cues back to their open fires and
their samovars, you had better muster
enough Russian to tell your driver to 60
home. There you will dismiss him fol
the day and pay him just n rouble
$50 cents.)

A Centenarian.

Recently a Boston lady, Mrs. Mary
Trowbridge, celebrated her Tooth birth
day. She declared in the morning that
she did not feel as if she were 100 years
old, and she pleasantly entertained many
visitors during the day. Her eyes are
perfect, and she hears ordinary conver-
sation perfectly well. Her health has
been remarkable; in all these 100 years
she has had only a slight touch of pleu-
risy and neuralgia. She is a member of
DIR. Bartol's church, and on Sunday he
preached a sermon having special refer
ence to her life. He described her as a
bride at twenty-three, with her hair cut
short, her kid gloves laced up to the
elbows, in a short muslin dress, not with
a long trai. like the style of to-day, but
reaching only to the ankles.

A Sad Welcome.

An old Maryland shipmaster, just re-
turned from a voyage across the sea, was
at the Baltimore custom house recently
to enter his vessel, as usual, Immediately
upon arrival. The captain, light-heart-
ed at reaching home, heartily returned
the congratulations of friends, and hur-
ried about the business in hand, 50 as to
get early away. But a customs employee
unwittingly turned all pleasantness into
gloom. He told the captain he was sorry
to have heard of the death of his son.
The captain looked at the employee with
an eagerness that was painful, and in a
voice tremulous from ill-concealed emo
ton, said, Which one?' He was told
that a son, a promising young man, died
in New York three weeks before. The
captain, who had not heard from his
family since last December, asked no
further questions, but all his lightness
of heart was gone.

Beware of Public Life.

Many u statesman appreciate the
force of the following remarks that are
attributed to Daniel Webster:
81 am not unaware, and it would be
affectation in me to deny it, that | have a
public reputation to leave to posterity;
but it has been earned with difficulty. If
l were to live my life over again, with
my present experiences, l would, under
no circumstances and from no considers
tions, allow myself to enter public life.
The public are ungrateful. The man
who serves the public most faithfully re-
ceives no adequate reward. In my own
history those acts which have been, be-
fore God, the most disinterested and the
least stained by selfish considerations,
have been precisely those for which /
have been most freely abused. No, no!
have nothing to do with politics! Sell
your iron, eat the bread of independence,
support your family with the rewards of
honest toll, do your duty as a private
citizen 10 your country, but let politics
alone! 1t is a hard life, a ~..thankless
life

A Brave Turkish Colonel.

A Baltimore american correspondent
writes: "If any one wishes to know
what manner of men we're those who
fought round Osman Paaha, they can
gain an idea of them from an anecdote
that my friend told me. A very steep
rock was to be stormed. 1t rose to the
height of 250 feet, and vas covered by
Russian batteries. A Turkish officer,
desirious to set an example to his men,
scrambled up first by the tslp of oc-
~casiOnal projections in the rock, and
roots and weeds When he reached the
top he found himself entirely alone.
The Russian soldiers looked 1t him in
amazement. Their guns were pointed at
his breast, when their general gave the
order not to fire, and fastened up to the
Turkish colonel and said: Colonel, be-
gone at once, you zee you are alone
The brave man said nothing. He stood
still a moment, gazing at his enemies;
then returned safely the way he came.
All the Russian soldiers began TO clap
their hands and cheer him."
