They have,1 there fore, determined to divide among the policy-holders Of tho Cotop.my large part ot. ihr protits accruing from the sourcea named, all of which have beretoioro been divided among the Moj k-i holders. ; r( w The plan Adapted for such dividends is as follow*!'

Insurance at the regular "Stock" fates, requiring a primary outlay, if about, t*rntw to thirty per cent, less than that eharged by Mutual Comjyanic; and Whiub .ig.. e?piivalent to * yearly "dividend" paid in advance of that amount on mutual rates, Thb> low oost, of insurance is worthy of attention. Sines it* organisation this company n.aa trecciW? lit premluirls fron?' its policy-holders the sum of $1,617,000. To tfTevi the snnm anjount of insurance in a MmIUmICom pany would have cost them an initial outlay of $2,0006tH^ ^Ry^ allowing its policy-holders to re tain in their own poesession this excess jl>( $483,000. Uie ?nivrrsal has virtually paid them ?4 "dividend" of $483.000, and paid it, too, in advante, instead of at the kndiaf oaator aiorey<srsj It is impossible to iind any example of a Mutual Company furnishing .insur^co a,t so. low a cost by returning to its policy-holders an equal amount upon similar receipt*. iSacOKO.

This systtni of participation, in connection with the low "stock" rates of premium, moat necessarily teeure tu the policy-holder* every advantage to be derived from prudent aud careful managetnunf. The low rates of premium compel economy, and, independent of participation, guarantee to the policy-holder his inuurance at a rate which is not in cxee;? of ihe cost in w>d( managed muiObl oompaniesr while, by tho proposed plan of participation ih what may Ve etuitldored thaiie^tfi mate profits of tho bastneas, tho cofit will bo sii 11 further diminished. .
