Specific Education.

Mr.. Vanderbilt pays his cook $10,-
600 year, my boy, which is q great
deal more than you and | earn-or at
least it is great deal more than we
get-because he can cook. That is
all. Presumably because ne can cook
better than any other man in Ameri-
ca. That is all. If Monsieur Sauce
angravi could cook tolerably well and
shoot little, and speak three Ian
guages tolerably well, and keep books
fairly, and sing some, and understood
gardening pretty well, and could
preach a pretty fair sort of sermon,
and knew something about horses,
and could telegraph little, and could
do light porter's work, and could read
proof tolerably, and could do plain
house and sign painting. and could
help on a threshing-machine, and
knew enough law to practice in the
justices courts of Kickapoo township,
and had once run for the legislature.
and knew how to weigh hay, he
wouldn't get $4,000 a year for it.
He gets that just because he knows
how to cook, and it wouldn't
make q cents worth of difference in
his salary if he thought the world
was flat and that it went around its
orbit on wheels. There's nothing
like knowing your business clear
through, my boy, from withers to
hook, whether you know anything
else or not. What's the good of
knowing everything? Only the Soph-
omores are omniscient.- .-B1Lrdette.

An EXPLANATION,

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be af-
flicted? If you will remember a few
years ago the word Malaria was COM
paratively unknown,-to-day it is as
common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. SO it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from a diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func-
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate
a cure. We recommend Green's Au-
gust Flower. Its cures are mar.
velous.

AS TO FIRE INSURANCE.
What's The Matter With Home Company?

A brief communication from val
ued correspondent relative to sug-
gestion in yesterdays issue that As
toria organize an insurance company,
leads by its tenor to the belief that
the aforesaid valued correspondent
does not "catch on" to the main idea.
If the writer insures his goods or
property for $1,000 he doesn't make a
bet with the insurance company at
odds of 615 to 100 that his goods or
property will be destroyed by fire.
That is not the intent or purpose.
His idea in insuring is that recogniz-
ing the risk attending fire, he pays a
certain sum as q premium to a col
lection of investors who guarantee to
pay him the amount named in the
policy. That is, in case of fire the
loss is not concentrated. In place of
falling on one individual, it is divided
among a large number of under
writers.
Again, as to another point. which
we believe to be a correct view; il
may be said that if we owned six or
seven fine buildings in different parts
of this city, we would probably not
insure any, for the risk would not
justify it; it would be cheaper to let
one burn up on the law of chances
But only owning one, having all our
eggs in one basket, it is business to
insure, and keep insured, no matter
how onerous the rate, for if that one
building should burn we own no
toher.
The writer doesn't claim to know
all about insurance. That Is degree
of proficiency denied to ordinary
mortals, but he believes he has a
middling tight grip on a handful of
practical ideas relative thereto.
There is a lot of money paid out
for insurance from fire in this city
every year that might just as well be
kept in the city as sent away. 1t is
one of the many drains of coin from
Astoria, and one of the golden
streams AWAY from Astoria that
could have its course changed.
1t constitutes big tax, tax that
every business man and property
owner feels. It is a tax of from IL
to 10 per cent per annum.
The business is and has been very
profitable one to the insurance COM
panies. If Astoria were to 90 up in a
sheet of fame tomorrow, the insur-
ance companies would be away ahead
of the game, if they had to pay mil
lion dollars insurance.
A local company with say 100000
capital could do Q good, safe, profita-
BILE business, and keep some of the
money here that is now yearly sent
away.
Whenever anything is proposed,
whether it is a street railway, or gas
works, or a road to the seaside, or a
building and loan association, or a
home insurance company, or any
thing else, lot of old grannies of
both sexes, chiefly masculine, jump
up shrieking, "you can't do it," and
then when the thing is a paying sue
cess, go around crying about their
fore sights not being equal to their
hind sights, and kicking because they
didn't get in when they could and
gnashing their teeth at those who did
invest and have good thing of it.

Did you ever notice, probably you

city how cordial your recognition and
hearty your salutation of some towns
man that probably you didn't notice,
or who didn't notice you, when on
the streets of your own burg? And
talking about noticing people, it is
probably one of the most embarrass-
ing things in daily life to meet some
one on the street and not know
whether you are going to be recog-
nized or not. Yesterday you met
him or her and were most cordially
saluted. To-day you meet the same
individual-there is an averted gaze,
an air of preoccupation, a careful
studying of the other side of the
street. You don't know what to make
of it. 1t is awkward, doncherknow,
to meet one of those folks who some

doesn't,-you never know which it'll

Say there, do you want to beat that

what-you-weigh" machine at the Oc-
cident? Well, if you feel like playing
it so low down as to beat machine
out of five cents, do the same as two
cuties did last night. They were
both slim and slender, and got on the
platform together, one Of them drop
ping nickel in the slot. The hand

Then the hand of the dial, with a

who are forever preaching economy"
Here's chance for them to actually
save five cents, and beat a machine
instead of man.

Regarding the great flocks of birds
at the mouth of the river, an Ash
land correspondent of the Oregonian
says: "The sea pigeons noted in
your issue of the 10th as being pres
ent in such great numbers in the
mouth of the Columbia river, are
now on their way from their breed
ing grounds in Alaska to their winter
haunts along the shores of Lower
California. [ noticed them while in
Alaska during the seasons of 1885,
1886 and 1887. They made their first
appearance from the south, stimuli
taneous with the anchovies, called
stink fish by the siwashes, and her.
ring. Their breeding places are to
be found on the small rocky inlets
lying off the coast of the larger is
lands forming the Alexander ar
chipelego. Towards the end of
July they begin to coDgre-
gate in immense flocks along
the deltas of the streams emptying
into the numerous inlets OF that re-
gion, and are accompanied by large
numbers of their young. At this
time they feed upon the shoals of
dead salmon that litter the shores in
the neighborhood of their spawning
streams, and with the cessation of
the silver salmon and "cultus" salm-
on run they begin to wing their way
southward. In certain favored local
tiles, for instance, in the lowlands of
the mouth of the Unuk river, l have
seen them in such immense numbers
that they literally seemed TO crowd
each other"
