Safe Washing Of Windows.

Every lady will Welcome the new pat
emit window. washer, which Mrs. James
Of Philadelphia has invented and is now
perfecting, and which promises to be
the desired invention for cleaning the
outer sashes of windows without sitting
out on the sill, at imminent risk of
falling backward into the street. 1t con-
sists Of long, slender handle of wood
and metal, hollow, which is SO curved as
to bring square of rubber directly
against an outer pane OF glass. A sponge
is fastened by q rubber band to this
square. The curved handle and the
readily attached sponge, which. with the
firm corners of the rubber are to do the
cleansing, constitute the real merit of
the invention, as they really are only
like the bent and heightened arm Of the
window washer herself. An attachment
is made to the upper section of the holder
of rubber syringe tube, an end of
which is to be dipped into bucket or
basin, and by touch will supply to the
sponge all the water that is needed for
the window cleaning, so that it need not
be drawn in again to the room until the
work is complete. The inventor is, we
understand, about having the entire i'm
plement made in papier macbe, which is
extremely light, and can be made into
tube as we'll as into wash basin. In
her first completed model the handle
was of ash, hard wood being necessary
to make the tubing required; and for
window washers who like q stout imple-
ment this does very we'll. Every ounce
that is taken off brush handle, however,
is of importance to some people, so that
in either form window washing ought to
be safely and quickly accomplished by
this means. A channels cloth or any
polisher can be fastened upon the rub
Der back IN the same way a. the sponge
is. The Household takes especial salts
faction in noting this invention, as the
inventor says it was hint in its col.
umns that first directed her to plan the
article. Mrs. James, at least, has given
an answer to the question, why do
not women invent" The contrivances
for saving trouble in household work are
not all perfected. There is plenty Of
room for talent yet.

"Callin' the Cop"

Three gamins stood on the corner Of
Washington and High streets last even.
ing One was two feet high and the
others taller by few inches. A block
away, under the blaze of the Bridge
lights, strobe majestic policeman. His
chest was thrown ont proudly, but his
hands were clasped behind him and his
head was bent in reverie, 10 Napoleon
A short, stout stake lay by the road
side and the smallest boy picked it up.
Then he spit on his hands, braced his
feet and raped hard on the sidewalk.
The officer started, grasped his club and
looked around, and again the gamin
raped.
foller yez up. so I WILL shouted the af-
fronted guardian OF tho peace.
"Oop. 90 wud, viz listen ter that Tom
N.Y." yelled one tormentor.
"Hit him Wild BRICK" shouted an
athe-.
Say. cop. Cop. Yez cant rest moth.
in. Yer no good. Oh, shoot him"
howled the third.
Insulted surprise struggled q moment
in the policeman's face, and then gave
way to indignation as be listened to
these remarks and comments. Grasping
his club tighter and fully realizing that
there vas 4 mutiny in his precinct. he
strobe forward to suppress it. The
gamins fell back in good order. no faster
than the enemy advanced. When the
latter had walked twenty yards he sud-
denly changed his mind, wheeled about
and walked back to his original pOsitiOn.
Then the little boy spit on his hands
again, raped on the sidewalk a. before,
and danced . jig in token Of victory
when he observed his enemy treat the
signal with lofty contempt.

stacy; "wud yez LUX at me calm Their
