Gentlemen from the primeval fastnesses of the impenetrable bush are expected to appear clad in Court costume, claw hammers, and white chokers, bearing the arms of their guild, namely, a golden grindstone, eupported by silver axes on a purple field of supple-jack, with the motto, " Whilst I live r ivhack."

Given under our hand, and sealed with our big thumb, this 24th July, 1891 Jl§^ JAMES FINLAY, f|l|jps* Fifth Duke of Argyll. OOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANCE ** DEPARTMENT. ESTABLISHED 1870. Bvefy Policy Guaranteed by the State. LOW PREMIUMS. LARGE BONUSES. The first policy issued. No. 1 for Aoo, is still in existence, and has had three bonuses allotted to it, viz. : — In 1880, £35 or £1 2»- per cent per annum In 1885. £18 „£1 4s , .. In 1890, £27 „£1 16s. „ „ „ .. The above is an actual case, and shows that the rate of bonus increased at each division. The premiums in force at the time this policy was issued were not calculated to yield any bonuses. and the higher rates now charged should therefore give «tiU more satisfactory results. JOSEPHUS H.
