WINDOW CLEANERS.
Working In si<yscrnpers IL Hard ON
Nerves aud stomachs.

"The reason that we are always adj
vertlsing for window cleaners" said
the foreman of n company that ein-
ploys 200 men In this business, ''is that
70 many men throw up their Jobs after
they have been Mt II week or so.
Some of them even do not last so long
ns that. A window cleaner can make
MS good wages ms II mechanic or mo
torman The work Is steady because
nearly all the window cleaning In New
York's big buildings Is done by con
tract.
ANY number of likely young fellows
really In need of work who promise
well enough at the start give out with
I'm few days. Sometimes II Is their
nerves that go back on them, but more
often IL Is their stomachs. We send
away half the men who apply for Jobs
without even giving them n trial. II n
man drinks or Is so nervous that he has
TO dodge trolley cars he should keep out
of this business.
"When we take man on trial the
foreman breaks him In gradually. We
don't put him on skyscraper job right
away. A great many private houses In
this city have their windows cleaned
by contract, and we start him in on
that. If man is no good at ladder
work IL is no use bothering with him.
From private houses the beginner Is
sent to department stores and finally TO
the tall buildings. Once In awhile we
find man who can start In on sky
scraper Jobs right away without any
trouble.
"'Don't look down. Look up all the
time is the constant admonition of the
foreman. Not one man In ten Is able
TO obey that order. The temptation to
look down Is irresistible. If n man
can't break himself of the looking
down habit II Is all up with him. He Is
sure TO come around sooner or later
and give up his job"-New York Press.

The scholar I'm the true sense is the
man or woman for whom the schools
have done their best. The scholar
knows some one thing thoroughly and
can carry his knowledge into action.
With this he must have such knowl-
edge of related subjects and of human
life as will throw this special knowl-
edge into proper perspective. Anything
less than this is not scholarship. The
man with knowledge and no perspec-
tive is crank, disturber of the peace,
who needs guardian to make his
knowledge useful. The man who has
common sense, but no special training,
may be fair citizen, but he can exert
little influence that makes for prog
ress. There may be wisdom not of
books. but 1t can be won by no easy
process. To gain wisdom or skill, In
school or out, Is education. To do any
thing well requires special knowledge,
and this Is scholarship, whether at
tanned in the university or in the school
of life. 1t is the man who knows that
has the right to speak.-Presldent Da-

In the days when Edwin A. Abbey,

of critically scrutlnizIng every dish that

to the embarrassment of his family.
His frequent dlsmlssals from the table

Always feed some whole grain at

the best breeding fowls.

They must have some loose ground to

Turkeys must have good range to
be profitable. They are insect eaters by
nature and need good range In order
to thrive well and grow economically.
After the ducks and geese are
through laying the feathers should be
picked regularly. The time to pick
them Is when the feathers are ripe and
before the fowls begin TO lose them.

solo finished, he dropped back to his
perch and politely waited, while his
rival poured out his madrigal. This
alternate display continued several
