A NEW PROFESSION. Procuring Tenants for Sky-Scrap* in? Office Buildings, Evolution of a Race of Expert and Fluent Liars Who Get Good Pay for Tlielr Efforts—How They Operate In Chicago. Getting tenants for slty scrapers has become an important profession. The only professors of this kind live in Chi cago, says the Post of that city, and this is their harvest time. They are working1 day and night, some of them earning fees that would please the biggest lawyer or doctor in town, while others are wearing out their last pairs of 6hoes. It is in some respects a fickle profession, for keeping everlastingly at it does not always bring success. Luck has a good deal to do with it, and what is still worse, lying has also. Some of the most prodigious liars in Chicago are remarkably successful in this new field. They are really pro fessional'liars, but it should be added that they are frowned upon by the legitimates and regarded as quacks and interlopers who ought to be doing something else. To do the quacks justice it must be explained there is neither school nor college in this town that issues diplo mas to recognized professors and hence one man has just as good right to prac tice as another, if not a great deal bet ter. Probably the only difference be tween a quack and a regular is that the former depends entirely on his abil-, ity as a liar to get along, while the latter relies on his acquaintance with men who inhabit the tall ofSce build ings. The professional tenant getter is a recent product, who belongs essential ly to the tall-building era. He is gen erally a well-dressed young man, up to date in every way and, with a good presence. His training is ac quired in real estate offices, About this season of the year, when tenants of office buildings are either looking about for more desirable offices or re newing their leases for the old ones, the professor Btarts out. Th"e first thing he does is to go to the agent for a big building and have an understand ing abou^ his commission. He informs the agent tlfat one of his friends is not satisfied with his, present location and will probably make a change. "I suppose yon will allow the usual com mission if _I* bring him around and gef him to sign a lease," he adds. The agent says he will for he is .after ten ants, and it makes no difference to hfol who brings them around. The commissions range from twenty-five dollars up, according to the number of rooms taken, several hundred dol lars being a common fee ^rhere a ten ant takes a choloe suite or makes a long lease. After getting the promise of a commission the professor starts ont. He may really have heard of a firm that intends changing its location, but in the majority of cases he has jiot and goes forth to hunt a man who wants to move. He goes into a tall building, begins at the bottom and works up to the top, stopping in every office and explaining that he has a number of choice suites in the newest sky-scraper. "Pardon me," he begins, after be ing shown into the private office of the head of the firm, "but I learned from a friend of yours that you are dissatis fied with your px-esent location and think of changing. I represent the Wayup building and would be pleased to show you floor plans. We furnish lights and janitor service free, and our rates are away below your terms here." In nine cases out of ten this is a bold bluff, but it interests the tenant just the same. "Who told,you I was dissatisfied?" he asks. "Well, I don't like to give yon his name, but it was a friend of yours, and he asked me to come around and see you." The floor plans are out by this time, and tfeJb professor goes on to explain the advantages of his building. He ex plains its location with reference to the car lines, and, if he is talking to a railway supply man, for instance, gives the names of purchasers of that class of goods who are in the build ing. Sometimes he succeeds in mak ing a tenant dissatisfied, and finally gets him, but it very frequently hap pens that he is politely ordered to get out. People in the big buildings are get ting to know the tenant-getters and to give them a cold reception. The other day one of them entered the office of a lawyer on the eighth floor of the Rook ery and made his little speech about having heard the tenant was dissatis fied. "Ia that so?" the lawyer answered. "Now, who told you I was sick of this building?" "One of your friends whom I met at the club yesterday." "Well, you tell him that he la mis taken. Six weeks ago I signed a new lease for five years." The Latest Slan* Pbraae. State Senator Owens recently spoke of an opponent as follows: "That fel low is no good he wears rubbers." A reporter of the New York Sun has been inquiring about the meaning of the phrase. He asked a well-known poli tician: "What does it mean when yon •peak of a man as wearing rubbers?" he said. "My boy," said the politician, '"that is the very latest slang exjftres sion. It simply means that a man is a •neak that, figuratively speaking, he approaches you with muffled feet. If yon go Into any police museum in the country one of the things they'll ahow ypn is the rubber shoe that the sneak thief of he assassin uses. It is an ordinary tennis shoe with a rubber sole fnd canvas upper, and the only reason it is worn by crooks is beoause It gives them an opportunity to creep their victim without betiH txpbehj IM." THEY SWORE OFF. Bat (k* Voting Man's Will Was Weak and B« Learned a I.e»ion. A piominent young man of the city has been an inveterate cigarette smoker for several years past, and he indulged in the habit to such an ex tent that it was injuring his health, says the Iiud^pnapolis Sentinel. He has a girl of whom he thinks all the world, and it's a case of vice versa. This young lady has a very good complex ion, but has MI inordin&te love for the use of powder, which h'lbit the young man detests as heartily as she does his cigarette habit. They finally agreed that each would swear off-°*-the one from using powder and the other from smoking cigarettes. It was hard work for the young man, but every time he hungered for a wad of nicotine his mind pictured the form of his fair one parading down the street with her face looking like a pan of dough, and he desisted. This went on for several weeks and each was re marking upon how much better the other was looking but t}ie old craving for the coffin nail came upon the young man once more, and one day last week he broke over. He thought no one would ever find it out. But he was seen, the news was carried to the girl, and she prepared to get even. They were to go to the theater and the young man called with the cab. The young lady was at the door, her face closely muffled, and in ber hand the bouquet that cost him five. Arrived at the opera house, they were enter ing the door when the young man turned to speak to the fair one by his 6ide. Oh! that face. She had smeared it with powder until it had been neces sary to cut eye holes. It was frightful. He stopped. "Are you going in look ing like that?" "Just as you say," was the quiet re sponse. "Well, I say no. I am not traveling with freaks now. We'll go back home." And they did. It cost him ten, there were two vacant seats at the opera house, but the young man has not smoked any cigarettes since. PEANUTS IN GERMANY. Governmental Experiment* as to Value as an Article of Food. Most of the nuts imported into Ger many are used only for their oil. In 1803 the imports amounted to 20,978 tons. Of this quantity nearly 14,000 tons came from Africa and almost all the rest from British East India. Only twenty-five tons were imported from this country, which produces the sweetest tasting but least oleaginous varieties. Most of the oil is used as a substitute for olive oil for salads and cooking. The best African nut oil ranges in price from 57 cents to $1 a gallon. The American nuts produce an oil worth only about 50 cents. The second quality and last pressings go to "fatten" oleomargarine and to make soap, etc. The refuse,after press ing, is make up into food for cattle and sheep, and the shells are used in the manufacture of cheap paper, or ground up for fodder with the crushed kernels. It was the wonderful nutri tive quality of the peanut oil cake fed to domestic animals which set the savants to experimenting with the nut as a cheap food. I THE ANNUAL RAINFALL. Some Carinas Facts Gleaned Through Scientific Research. There is always more or less guess work concerning the amount of rain that falls during any storm period. Throughout the United States the amount that falls on any one day rare ly exce'eds 1 inch. There are certain portions of the globe, however, that are frequently, and others only occa sionally, deluged with water. On the Bouthern slopes of the Himalaya moun tains, at at altitude of *4,500 feet, 010 inches of rainfall have been registered in a single year, of which amount 147 inches (12 feet 8 inches) fell in the month of Jun'e.. At a meteorological station in latitude 18 degrees, near the western boundary of Hindoostan, the average rainfall for the fifteen years ending with 1893 was 254 inches. In the northwestern part of England, at an altitude of 1,800 feet, the average an nual rainfall is 146 inches, 111 inches in excess of the mean for St. Louis, which 1a bnt 87 inches and a fraction. Tho wonderful record given above ia •till more phenomenal when we con aider the fact that all the moisture the Atmosphere is capable of holding at any one time would cover the entire surface of the globe to a depth of less than 4 inches should it all be instantly precipitated. Waddlnis and Funerals In CMaa. Strangers in China have the greatest difficulty when meeting a funeral or a wedding procession on the street to distinguish one from the other. The same red cloth coolies, carrying roast ed pig and other dainties, appear in the procession, the same smaller coolies carrying cheap paper ornaments, and the same noisy, turnout. And all this wh$n some old person is being carried to his last resting place, as when the youngest and most beautiful celestial maiden is being carried the new home prepared by her hus band. The crowd at a funeral is as noisy as at a wedding and the guests eat just as much. The only difference, indeed, between the two is that in the center of one the bride is carried in an Inclosed sedan chair, borne on the shoulders of some men, and followed by her bridesmaids. In that of the other the coffin is carried and the mourners follow. Indeed, an English writer says that no event in the life of a ia half so important hla tonaraL A Leader.
