WINDOW CLEANERS*
WiOrltlnar In SkrwernperM Hard
Nerves and Stomach*.
"The reason that we are always ad»j
rertising for window cleaners," said'
the foreman of n company that ei®-*
ploys 200 men in this business, "is that,
so many men throw up their jobs aftur"
they have been at it a week or so.^
Some of them oven do not last so long
as that. A window cleaner can mako"
•s good wages as n mechanic or a mo
torman. The work is steady because,^
nearly all the window cleaning in Noti
fork's big buildings Is done by eoa^
tract.
"Any numijer of likely young follows**
really in need of work who proniirte^
well enough at the start give out witb*^
In a few days. Sometimes it is thelr^
nerves that go back 011 them, but inore
often it 1s their stomachs. We eond|
away half the men who apply for Jolai,/
without even giving them a trial. If ft*
man drinks or is so nervous that he lias
to dodge trolley cars he should tafeep out
of this business.
"When we take a man on trial the
foreman breaks him in gradually. We^
don't put him on a skyscraper job right-^
away. A great many private houses in'
this city have their windows cleunca^
by contract, and we start him in oft*
that. If a man is no good at lnddot|
work It is no use bothering with him.:.
From private houses the beginner ISf ,
sent to department stores and finally t»v
the tall buildings. Once in awhile wfe-.
find a man who can start in ou sky^
scraper jobs right away without auff
trouble. &
'Don't look down. Look up all thi^
time,' is the constant admonition of tlig£
foreman. Not one man in ten is abl^v
to obey that order. The temptation
look down Is irresistible. If a mat
can't break himself of the looking:
down habit it is all up with him. lie i^
sure to come around sooner or latent
and give up his job."—New York PresC*

PROSPECTS ON THE FARM.
San Francisco Call: No interest in
the country has a brighter outlook than
that of agriculture. It is only within
the ast twenty years that farming has
been conducted upon anything like a
scientific basis. Formerly the squatter
on the plains worked his land with
110
conception of the proper rotations of
crops or of the replenishment of the
hidden springs of production now by
the aid of the agricultural colleges in
nearly every state in the union, by the
co-operation of the efficient depart meat
of agriculture at Washington and tlte
application of modA*n farm machinery,
the farmer is enabled to double his gaiiis
