FINANCIAL BRAVERY.

Notwithstanding the generally accepted
idea that capital is cowardly we are occa-
sionally surprised by exceptions to the
rule which command our admiration.
We were reminded of notable excep- |
ton of this sort when, during recent |
visit to San Francisco, we had occasion
to pass the elegant new building OF the
Fireman's Fund Insurance Company.
This company in 1871 had more than its
entire capital swept away by the Chicago
fire, but instead of falling outright, COM
promising with lis creditors or retiring
from the insurance field, as did hun
dred other companies (including, so far
as Eastern underwriting was concerned,
all the other Pacific Coast Companies,
it assessed it's stockholders such a sum
as enabled it to pay every claimant,
dollar for dollar; met with equal pluck
its large losses in the Boston conhagra-
tion, which soon followed, and has ever
since battled against fire with such sue
cess that it stands to-day at the head OF
all the Pacific Coast Companies. AS
rule the public do not exhibit much
enthusiastic friendship for corporations,
but where corporate bravery like that
above referred to displays itself, they are
not slow to applaud it. And herein lies
the secret of the Fireman's Funds sue
cess. Having proven it's bravery in the
hardest battle it will probably ever be
called upon to fight, and having therein
faithfully protected those who had placed
their reliance in it, there are no fears
that it viii show the white feathers in
any subsequent trial, all of which accounts
for the confidence accorded it, and for a
prosperity which houses it in new
100000 building, which gives it assets
of one and half million dollars, net
surplus of $270,000, and an income of
nearly one million dollars per annum
which enables it to pay an average of two
losses per day throughout the year. From
a comparatively small company it has
grown in twenty-five years to be the
largest fire underwriting institution west
of New York State, and credit to the
Pacific Coast.
The history of this company shows
what may be done by an exhibition OF
financial bravery. There was no ''luck'
about it, unless the sweeping out OF
existence of it's entire capital by the
Chicago fire might have been termed
"hard luck" We think that many OF
our corporate institutions who are dis
posed to beat an ignominious retreat In
the face of disaster, leaving those who
have confided in them to shirk for them
selves, could learn lesson that would
rebound to their profit and honor alike
if they would seriously consider the rec
ord made by the Firemen's Fund.
If they were generally to do this, il
they were as jealous of their corporate
honor as individuals are of that which
pertains to their person. the prejudice
against corporations would soon be a
relic of the past.

nourishment is extracted by boiling:

EoBoDY's IDEAL.
The Commonplace Young Man, of Whon

The Commonplace Young Man, of Whom
Nothing in Particular is Expected.
If the commonplace young man is
nobody's ideal, neither does he disap-
point anybody, for nothing in particu-
lar is expected of him. But there is no
nonsense about him. or only such as lis
relished by the best of men" He
cracks his jokes as ruthlessly over the
aesthetic humbug as over the corrupt
politician; he is au fait in lawn tennis,
in croquet, in euchre, or whist, or bill
iards, in the deux temps or the country
dance, in baseball or boating, which
make hlm popular at pjcn: , or party,
or country house; he has siews on all
the questions Of the day, .tnd does not
hesitate to express them without the
least diffidence, and apparently without
the least suspicion but that they are
as sound as Plato's, and flaWless as the
Koh-i-noor. In fact, he has great
deal of conversation of one kind and
another; he can give you any number
of s.inexact thoughts, as Landor calls
witticisms, either original or culfed; if

of books; if scientist, he quotes Oar
win or Tyndall, CLEANED from the daily
journals; if sentimentalist, he retorts
in lines from familiar quotations. he
is not deeply read, or he would not be
the commonplace young man, perhaps.
but he knows little of great many
subjects, and has a happy faculty, as
some people have in spending money,
of making little 60 great way; he
adapts his conversation to his company,
and gossips with those who gossip.
He has some notoriously good qualities;
he is an excellent son and brother, gen
erous with his loose change, particular
about his tailor, fastidious about his
sweethearts and his company, not
ashamed of his poor relations, nor
boastful to them. nor ashamed to be
seen on the promenade with a shabby
friend or plain woman. He has no
special conceit, but he knows his own
value in society where the feminine
element predominates, and acts accord
ngly. II he is more or less frivolous
withal, it is possibly because the world
seems to put premium upon frivolity,
and discounts earnestness. He is essen
TALLY the creature of the period, and
reflects its spirit and nervous energy;
he is the normal human being, not too
good for human natures daily mood,
with a hearty appetite and correct
digestion, made for domestic, homely
life. for everyday wear and tear, not
for holidays alone: and if he does not
dazzle like .sthe blue and white young
man, neither does he aggravate us
with the whims, the hobbies; and oddi-
ties of genius, he does not affect Anglo
mania, nor drawI, nor bang his hair,
nor adopt eccentricities. To be sure,
he will not write the coming novel, he
does not s.breathe in numbers" nor
compose US symphonies, nor paint US
pictures, nor carve us statues; his
atoms may not be those of which heroes
are made, or arctic discoverers; he will
not weigh the stars. or calculate
eclipses, or fight microbes; yet he fills
his niche; he is a companionable soul,
and the world could i'll afford to jog on
without him.-Harper's Bdzar.
