nrilitarlsm in Switzerland.

Even Switzerland is being carried
away'by the general European epidemic
of militarism and financial exhaustion.
In budget estimated altogether at less
than 81, 900, 600 for the year 1883 deficit
of close upon s., $50, 900, or upwards OF Is
per cent. of the total amount of the
budget, is declared. Nine-tenths of
the deficit are made up of the additions
to the military expenditure. Hitherto
Switzerland has been deserving of an
honorable mention on account of her
keeping aloof from extravaganza in her
military preparations. But the time has
evidently come for her to abandon her
vantage ground and make strenuous eff
forts for defending her soil in the case
of an approaching warlike struggle. :.

Elephants - Financiers.

The penny-in-the-slot machine has
been adapted to the use Of the elephants
at the Manchester zoo. When visitor
gives the elephant a penny the ami
NAL drops it in the slot and gets a bis
cult. There is no use in trying to de-
ceive the animals by half-pennies.
Those despised coins are always flung
in the face of the giver. The other day
a visitor gave baby elephant num-
Der of half-pennies in succession, but
all were thrown back. The animal was
then given two half-pennies at the same
time. The creatures demeanor changed.
For more than five minutes he held the
two coins in his trunk rubbing them
together and seeming to be bordering
deeply. At last he dropped the two
half-pence in the box together, with the
result that the combined weight gave
him the desired biscuit, at which he
oamboled about in a manner which ex-
hibited extravagant delight.

Money Not Locked Up.

At age 25 the usual 81 900 life insurance
policy il the 20 payment endowment plan
costs s4s. In case of death you get only
81, 600. The rule is your money is lock-
ed up for 20 years, and then you are
guaranteed only the reseve or legal value
BY any company.
The twenty payment guaranty OF the
Union Central Life Insurance Co.. costs
at age twenty-five, annually for twenty
years only SIS for 50 ,OCO; and besides giy-
iug .pa;d-up policy for $500 the 3rd
year when YOU have paid out only Sl35,
and if not taken the 50 900 policy remains
in force four years and two hundred
and five days thereafter, il you desire it;
still the 5th year the policy contract
guarantees. you in cash on your policy
$l44.and still you may keep It up and will.
if yon die that year, receive your $4,000
less the sl44 you have already had.
Thus the 9Th and each year thereafte,
our guaranty policy puts the reserve, OF
full legal value, at your command. Nc
company cansposslbly do more. So why
pay more for $1,000 insurance than We
charge for 1000, especially since We keep
the reserve at your command at any time
after the 5th year?
The Goth year you have 81 900 polio,
due at death. and it can never cost you
any more and you may at any ti,pc get
the reserve as loan on it or a. a casl.
surrender value.
There is not an estimate1in our guaran.
ty policy, all being expressed and guar an
teed IN the face Of the policy. Our guar
auty policy contract is mole liberal than
any other insurance policy in the land.
