This contract enables you to start your insurance now, and to have your payments credited on any other policy you may wish to select later-the premium rate of the new policy to be that of your present age.

NEW PHOTOGRAVURE BOOKS
India, Past and Present
By C. H. FORBES-LINDSAY
Illustrated with 50 photogravures. 2 vols. Crown Svo.
Cloth extra, gilt tops ; in cloth box, net, $4.00. (By mail 40 cents additional.)
.
T HERE are many books about India, but for the most part they tell the reader too little or else are technical works or bulky ponderous volumes. Mr. Forbes- Lindsay's work, "India, Past and Present," within a moderate compass supplies a comprehensive view of one of the most ancient and interesting countries in the world, with accurate information as to its past and present condition and picturesque glimpses of its fascinating history.
It is written from a personal knowledge acquired during the author's years of residence in different parts of the Indian Empire supplemented by a thorough study of the works of the best authorities. There is no other popular work covering the same ground, and the reader will acquire a general idea of the whole country in its physical characteristics ; its diversified and often magnificent scenery ; its remark_ able temples and palaces and other buildings; its antiquities ; the many races by which it has been peopled ; and its extremely interesting history.
Japan and Her People By ANNA C. HARTSHORNE
Illustrated with 50 photogravures. 2 vols. Crown Svo. Cloth extra, gilt top : in cloth box, $4.00 net.
(By mail 40 cents additional.)
TISS HARTSHORNE writes
M of Japan and the Japanese people from an intimate knowl- edge of her subject at first hands, having been a resident of the country and brought closely into touch with native life. The book will take rank as a thorough exposition of the Island Kingdom, and is written in a charming style.

WHO'S WHO IN NEW YORK, STATE AND CITY
Is a handsome volume of 800 pages, strongly bound in buckram, contain- ing authentic biographies of resident New Yorkers who are leaders and representatives in various departments of worthy human achievement. To this are added sketches of every Army and Navy officer born in or appointed from New York and now serving; of all the Congressmen from the State, and of all State Senators and Judges, and of all Ambas- sadors, Ministers and Consuls appointed from the United States. It has been the aim of the Editors to include only such names as have valid claim to recognition.
The book has been laid out on line's sufficiently broad, it is hoped, to make it invaluable as a work of reference, and interesting to those who find in "every Biography a page of History."
SCOPE OF THE WORK.
Some idea of the field covered may be had by a glance at the fol- lowing partial list : There are lives of leading Architects, Artists, Authors, Civil Engineers, Clergymen, Bankers, Brokers, Lawyers, Merchants, Phy- sicians; Leaders in the World of Society and Prominent Men of Affairs.
An especially valuable detail is the permanent address, which is fur- nished in every case.
VALUE AND USE.
WHO'S WHO IN NEW YORK is designed to supplement a Lon- don publication, which furnishes biographic data of prominent men the world over, and a Chicago publication which covers the same ground, more in detail, for the whole United States. Obviously the wider range of these books preclude the mention of many names that have a definite and important interest when considered as factors in the life of this State.
This local information, so to call it, has never up to this time been gathered within the limits of a single volume. And those who have had occasion to look for such information realize how difficult it is to secure. It is to be found only in County histories of dubious veracity; in newspaper clippings, difficult of access; in family histories, overloaded with unimportant trivialities, or it is not to be found at all in many instances. But, worst of all, when the alleged facts are gathered together
they are found to be conflicting, and the vital element of authenticity is lacking. "Who's Who in New York " is authentic. The information has been gathered at first hand. It may be relied upon.
EDITORS of newspapers and magazines do not need to have the advantages of such a book explained to them, They will not fail to recognize them even from this brief synopsis. Bankers, Brokers, Insurance men and Corporation managers will find that they can save hours of labor and correspondence in ascertaining such facts about men-5,000 of them-as will be valuable to them in the conduct of their business. It is preeminently a book for Public and Private Libraries, Hotels and Clubs, and its pages are replete with interest for Authors and Students of Life. Government and State Officials and Leaders in the Politics of the day should have such a work at their very elbow. To Insurance men and Advertisers a list of 5,000 picked names, with permanent addresses, is worth may times the price of "Who's Who in New York." 800 pages, handsomely and strongly bound in cloth, $5.00.

The Responsibility
resting upon the officers and managers of a Life Insurance company is not different from that which is assumed by the trustees of individual estates. In the great majority of cases, the amount of the policy paid at the death of the insured repre- sents a considerable part of his estate. In some cases it is all. The taking out of a policy is prompted by unselfish love and devotion. The payment of the annual premium represents quite often self-sacrifice and self-denial. The object to be secured, the protection and welfare of his family, is that which a man holds most dear.
The Aim
of the Provident Life and Trust Company is to conduct its business in accordance with this conception of the sacred char- acter of the work and the solemn responsibilities imposed thereby. It best manifests its fidelity in keeping steadily before it as the true objective the maintenance of the highest security, so that a policy maturing thirty or forty years hence will be as certain of payment as one falling due to-morrow, and an endeavor by all proper means to lighten the burden of insur- ance by making the cost as small as is consistent with security.
