To saua You rins.

Have you ever notlced that when reading you waste a certain amount of time in turning from the end of one line to the beginning of the next? :? Long ago, when the world was not so busy as now. columns were of a much greater width. Since then they have been narrowed more and more. Of course in an hours reading little time is lost. but in lifetime it is like ly to be considerable. Realizing this. some one has suggested that type should be arranged as follows. You read to the end of the line, drop the eyes and read backward:

THE STEEPLE JACK.
He Must Conquer Many Difficulties In
His Dangerous Work.

His Dangerous Work.
The successful steeple jack must
possess determination, perseverance
and ingenuity. He must solve many
n practical problem in hosting greut
bodies aloft. He must know how to
fasten a hook over the summit of
skyscraping chimney He must have
the nerve to paint steeple that sways
like a pendulum at the slender top. He
must be able to tear down, build up,
gid, paint place electric wires and do
many another task that would be
difficult enough on the solid earth.
There are many ways of getting up
on steeple, and when all others fail
the man will tie rope around it and
then, with a coil on his back, walk
round and round it until the entire
steeple is covered with rope, and in
such case he has probably been round
it fully 300 times.
But a steeple is not the most diff
cult height to climb. Straight, tall
chimneys are the hardest of all. There
a man has to work with might and
main to lift himself inch by inch from
the ground to the top. Sometimes the
top is 300 feet high. When it is reach
ed hook is placed over the edge,
pulley is made fast, the swinging chair
is hauled up and work begins.
When the chair is near the top it is
easier to work, because the ropes are
short, but when they lengthen as the
ground is approached there is a ten
dency to swing, and the wind gives
impetus.
The steeple jacks safety depends
upon the hook, and until he has raised
himself almost to the top it is impos-
sible for him to see whether or not the
hook has been properly adjusted.
More than once a steeple climber has
seen when within ten feet Of the top
that corrOsion of the iron and the col
lection of SCOT have so thickened the
wall that the hook is merely balancing
on the top, so that the slightest pull
in the wrong direction would drag it
off. Again, the bricks are often loose
at the top, and the hook is likely to
tear them away.
One of the natural difficulties to con-
quer is the swaying of all high stee
pies and chimneys. In gale steeple
point will sway a foot and a half
Usually it sways from seven to nine
inches Painting it means reaching
for a spot on the right side, and find
ing 1t on the left, and, when making
dive for it on the left, to see it sway
back to the right. Yet in spite of the
constant danger born steeple jack ex-
ults in his work and is at home, like
the ironworker on the skyscraper. only
when high above the world. He can
stand triumphantly at any height, if
he can have two and one-half square
inches to bear his weight.-Harper' s
