l,isratlcr surprising that some Yankee with

the ordinary American individual in day,
and, basing his figures on the result. discover
the amount Of animal and vegetable food he
gets rid of in week, Il month. n year, or an

We ut length reached the hotel again. and

placed upon the desk.

me half dollar in change.

From the Christian Union
During the last ten years, In the winter, &C.
cording to our record, We have noticed the
manner in which one thousand persons who
have called for work have opened, shut, OF
not shut our store door. This, you may say,
is y futile and useless undertaking, but VIC en-
terrain very different opinion. What are
the facts and deductions
1. Out of 900 persons recorded, 335 OPEN
en- the door and shut it carefully when they
came In and when they went out.
2. 226 opened It In hurry. and made an
attempt to shut 1t, but did not, and merely
pulled II to when they went out.
). SO3 did not attempt to shut it at all,
either on coming In or going out
4. ~ left it.open when they came in, but,
when reminded of the fact made ample apol-
ogy, and shut it when they went out.
5. 1o2 opened It in great hurry, and then
slammed it to violently. but left it open when
they went out.
s. % came In with "How do you do p or
"Goed evening, SIR" and these wentthrough
the operation Of wiping their feet onthe mat,
put did not shuttle 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, etc.
The first class, Of 135, were those who knew
their trade and commenced and finished their
trade In . methodical manner; were quiet
had little to say during hours, and were well
approved by those for whom they did work.
They were punctual to time, and left nothing
undone which they were orjered to do. They
did not complain at tsides, and in al respects
were reliable men and were kind and oblig-
Ing in their general conduct. Christian Cs-
