An Observant Servant.
Two servants employed in adjoining houses were talking, recently, says an exchange, about their methods of cleaning windows. The one whose windows always looked the brightest said she selected a dull day for the work, or a day when the sun was not shining on them, because when the sun shines it causes them to bo dry.streaked, no matter how much one rubs. The painter’s brush is the heat article for this purpose ; then wash all the wood-work before the glass is touched. To cleanse the glass simply use warm water diluted with ammonia ; don’t use soap. A small stick will get thp dust out of the corners ; then wipe dry with a piece of cloth. Do not use linen, as the lint sticks to the glass. The best way to polish is with tissue paper or newspaper. To cleun windows in this way takes much less time than when soap is used.
