Hard on the Officer.

Cupid will have a hard time soon with Russian army officers, if one la to judge from a recent regulation fixing the conditions under which Russian officers will be permitted to marry. In the first place the lady must have good manners and be well brought up; her social position will also be taken into account. Then with regard to the officer, he must be at least 23 years of age, his pay and mess allowance must amount to at least S6OO and he must have either real estate bringing in $l5O or more per annum on a capital of $2,500 or more. If the capital does not exceed $2,500 no more than $l5O, including interest, must be drawn in any one year.
