The Door Test.

A correspondent of the Scientific
American gives the following novel
| manner for measuring mems charac-
ters /:
During the last ten years. IN the win
ter, according to our record, we have
noticed the manner in which one thou
sand persons who called for work have
opened, shut, or not shut our store
door. This, you may say, is futile
and useless undertaking, but We enter
tain very different opinion. What
are the facts and deductions
Out of 1000 persons recorded, 335
opened the door and shut it carefully
when they came III, and when they
went out.
2. Two hundred and twenty SIX
opened it in a hurry, and made an at
tempt to shut ii, but did not, and mere
ly pulled it to when they went out.
3. Three hundred and three did not
attempt to shut it at all, either on
coming in or going out.
4. Ninety-six left it open when they
came in, but when reminded Of the
fact, made ample apology, and shut il
when they went out.
5. One hundred and two opened IT
in great hurry, and then slammed il
to violently, cut left it open when they
went out.
6. Twenty came in with GLOW dc
you do?" or, Good evening, sir, ,
and these went through the operation
of wiplng their feet on the mat, but
did not shut the door when they went
out
REMARKS. We have employed men
out of all the above classes, and during
that time have had an opportunity OF
judging of their merits, &C.
The first class of 335 were those who
know their trade, and commenced and
finished their trade III methodical
manner, were quiet, had little to say
during hours, and were we'll approved
by those for whom they did their work,
They were punctual to time, and left
nothing undone which they were order
ed to do. They did not complain at
trifies, and in all respects they were
reliable men, and were kind and oblig-
ing in their general conduct.

Important Correspondence between
France and Spain.

Important correspondence has pass
ed between France and Spain. 1t grew
ont of certain atrocities perpetrated by
the Carlist chief, the Cure of Santa
Cruz. The French Government com
planned that Santa Cruz and his band
had killed four French officers on the
Northern Spain Railway, and car
ried four others into the mountains.
CASTELAR,, in reply, expressed regret at
the outrages. His remarks, however,
that most of the Carlists were
equipped in France, where they
have since drawn supplies, money and
provisions. The Cure of Santa Cruz
himself soiouned some time in Bay
onne before passing into Spain, and
was not interfered with. Numbers OF
the Carlists wear the uniform of French
Mobiles, and many Frenchmen of noble
rank are serving with the insurgents
He states, In conclusion, that the gov
eminent is taking all measures to put a
stop to these eXcesseS, and recently
seized as hostages the mother and Sis
ter OF the Cure of Santa Cruz.

The Cable in Brazil

The Brazilian Empire wants tele-
graphic connection by cable with its
South American neighbors and Europe
An organization styled the Brazilian
Submarine Telegraph Company has
published a prospectus in London, IN
which it declares its object to be as
above stated. The proposed capital
Is 81, 800, 600. Extensive concessions
from Portugal and Brazil, now held by
the contractors, will be vested in the
company, which confer exclusive priv
lleges for twenty years, and the right
Of working IN perpetulty. The Brazil
ian concession includes the right to lay
cables along the coast of Brazil, and the
company have entered into negotiations
with the Great Western Telegraph
Company for the latter to lay lines
along the whole coast from PART }
Rio Grande du Sui, a distance of about
1000 miles. The cables will be laid
IN three sections; first, from Lisbon to
Madeira, 653 miles; second, from Ma
deira to ST. Vincent, 1860 miles; and
third, from St. Vincent to Pernambu-
co, 1,953 miles. The contract price
for making and laying the cable IS 81,
$50, 900, of which e6SO,00 are payable
IN cash, and t4O0, 900 in fully paid-up
shares of the company, of which latter
tl31, 600 are reserved, and are not to
be handed over until the Successful
completion of the several sections of
the cable. The latest day fixed for
completion of the whole work is the
31st OF December, 1874, but the con
tractors expect to open the whole line

The Laws of Health =.

1t is useless for State Legislatures to pass laws
for the preservation of the public health, if the
great law Of preservation, which depends for
its enforcement upon the will of the individual, is
suffered to remain dead letter. There is scarcely
| an adult member of the community of either sex,
III this country, who has not the testimony in
favor OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, furnished
over their own Signatures by persons of acknowl-
edged erlinonce in science, literature, art, COM
merce, and every department of business and pro-
fessional life. These witnesses have declared in
the most explicit terms that the preparation is a
safeguard against epIdemics, sovereign remedy
for dyspepsia, valuable bilious medicine, a
promoter of appetite, genial and harmless stimu-
laht, good acclimating medicine, strengthened
of the nerves, a general invigoraDt, protection
against the deleterious effects of malaria and i'm
pure water, and that it imparts degree of vlgor
and activity to the vital forces which is not commu-
nicated by any other of the tonics and stomac
i'll Under these circumstances the self preser-
yative law of nature should teach every rational
person who, either by of inherent debility or
i'll consequence OF exposure to unwholesome infiu-
cnces, is in peril of losing the greatest of ali tempo

medicines which viii afford them the relief.

plasfering Rats.

The ubiquitous rat is said to be just

OF grain and clover have been devasta-

cut them off with arsenic or phospho-

Charcoal for Poultry.


The benefit which fowls derive from
eating charcoal Is, / believe, acllnowl
edged. The method of putting it before
them is, however, not well understood.
Pounded charcoal is not in the shape
in which fowls usually find their food,
and consequently is not very enticing
to them.
/ have found that corn burnt on the
cob, aud the refuse-which consists
almost entirely of the grains reduced
to charcoal, and still retaining their
perfect shape-placed before them is
greedily eaten by them, with marked
improvement IN their health, as is
shown by the brighter color of thei,
combs, AMI their sooner producing a
greater average of eggs to the flock
than before. --PouttiV World.

still and lonesome, they began to feel
afraid. SO the eldest went to the foot
of the staircase, ard calling with q
timid voice, said Mamma are You
there?" Eyes, darling" said the
mother, cbeerily. ''All right, said
the little one, more to herself than to
her mother. SO she went back to her
play for time. After time the ques-
ton was repeated, with the same an
swer and the same result. Oh, how
often, in our loneliness and sadness
here in the world, we forget that God is

up our prayers to Him, we shall not

Reorganization oG the Russian ARMY

The scheme of army reorganization
which has engaged the attention of the
Russian imperial commission for the
last two years Is now complete, and
has received the imperial sanction. It
almost doubles the number of divisions
and regiments in the Russian army,
and provides a military force far ex-
ceedlng any that can be pitted against
it. Military service IS made general
and compulsory. The peace footing
of the regular army is fixed at 739, 600
Even the reserve is to number 5l2, 900,
yielding total of l, 800, 900 men, or
40, 900 mere than the present war foot
ing The regular army IS to contain 6S4
battalions of infantry.anI4 of rifemen,
constituting 81 diyisIOns;1 Is divisions Of
cavalry of 3 regiments each, and 2S5
batteries of artillery. The latter arm
is almost exactly doubled. The whole
empire is divided into $50 military
districts, 300 of which are purely Rus
sian in population, and have to bear
the principal burden of the conscrip-
ton. The additional expense of the
new scheme is put down at 100 millions
of silver roubleS year. The military
schools under the new scheme are to
turn out 500 officers annually, the staff
colleges 40. The requirements for
breech-loading rifles are covered by
arrangements already made, and 1920
rifles are now in store for the reserve
The present arsenal stores comprise
l, 400 pieces OF artillery of ali kinds,
besides those In use.

American Beer.

Like the proverbial carrying Goals
to Newcastle" is the expectation Of
lager beer from the United States to
Germany. Prof. Liebig, the great
chemist, lately made speech, which
has been published in and commented
on by the German press, in which he
said cit is characteristic Of the
Americans that they make better beer
than we do. l am convinced the time
is coming when American beer viii
will drive German beer from the
market. With us everything stands
still, and the worst beer brewers are in
Bavaria, though formerly the best used
to come from that quarter. "The
German brewers he added, are
Ignorant persons, opposed to all I'M
provements, and continue to brew In
the old routine methods, incapable,
seemingly, of helping themselves. The
Americans, on the contrary, no sooner
observe anything requiring improve
ment, than they take note of and never
forget it." That is a high testimonial to
American skill.

4 tIfy on lee.

The Bay City Herald of the 18th has
this item: perhaps not many OF our
citizens are aware that veritable city
on ice exists on the frozen waters of
Saginaw Bay, but such is the case 1t
consists of fishermen's shanties, about
three hundred in number, extending
out about ten miles OH the bay. They
have regular municipal government,
with Ed. Lewis, formerly of this city,
for Mayor. Any violation of the ordi-
nances of the community is punished
by ducking the offender in the cold
waters of the lake, through holes cut
III the ice. Provision is made for the
visitor, there being one or two hotels
and a number of saloons. The occu-
patton of the inhabitants is principally
fishing, vast numbers OF which are
caught. The city is named Lewisvllle,
in honor of the Mayor. The little huts,
laid out in regular blocks, and dotting
the ice as far rs the eye can reach, pre-
sent novel appearance.
