The ..Door Test, and Character.

A correspondent of the Scientific
american gives the following novel
manner for measuring mems char
acters
During the last ten years, in the win
ter season, according to our daily re-
cord, we have noticed the manner in
which one thousand persons who called
for work have opened, shut, or not shut,
our store door this You may say is fu-
tile and useless undertaking, but we en-
terrain very different opinion. What
are the facts and what the deductions?
1. Out of ZOO persons recorded, 334
opened the door and shut it carefully
when they came in and when they went
out, without much noise.
2. Twohundred and twenty opened
it in hurry, and made an attempt to
shut it but did not, and merely pulled
it to when they went out.
3. Three hundred and two did not at
tempt 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 it when
they went out.
5. One hundred and two opened it in
a great hurry, and then slammed it to
violently, but left it open when they
went out.
6. Twenty came in with GLOW do
you do, sir ?" or "Good morning." or
"Good evening, sir, and all these went
through the operation of wiping their
feet on the mat, but did not shut the
door when they came in nor when they
went outr
DEDUCTIONS. = The correspondent
goes on to say that he has employed
men out of all the above classes, and
during that time he has had an oppor-
tunity of judging of their merits, etc.
The first class, of 335, were those who
knew their trade, and commenced and
finished their work in methodical man.
ner, were quiet, and had little to say in
their working hours, and were well ap-
proved by those for whom they did the
work. They were punctual to time,
and left nothing undone which they were
ordered to do. They did not complain
about trifes, and in all respects they
were reliable men, and were kind and
obliging in their general conduct.
1t should be appreciated, in this con-
nection, that the simple act of closing
door may combine large number of
qualities, and SO be really manifesto
ton of personal character. The de-
scription of the 335 just given indicates
that they possessed well-balanced tenn
peraments, with large cautiousness, ap-
probativeness, constructiveness, large
perceptive faculties, with good degree
of firmness, benevolence, human nature,
and comparison, while the black-head
was but moderately developed in com.
bativeness. Order is evinced by those
who open and shut doors with ease.

A Watch Trade.

Old Davis, of Ossipee-thew ell-known
shingle and clapboarG autocrat of thirty
years ago-had dog named Watch.
The dog had become old and nuisance.
Davis had threatened often to kill the
brute, and had as often relented.
One day Sam Brown, the Concord
Davis wanted to buy nothing.
"Can't / sell you a clock? I've got
EN- as cheap as dirt, and real good
ones"
"I haven't got the money"
"Drat the money! I'll take fair
exchange of anything"
Davis scratched his head, whereat
Brown continued:
"Come, Wen have trade somehow.
You've got to have one of my clocks.
What have you got to exchange for it?''
"I've got nothing but watch"
"Eh pa watch?"-cried the peddler,
frightening up. "What kind of a
watch?"
"'Taint, of course, a very good one,
or wouldn't want to trade it off,"
"What kind O. cases?"
can't say much for the cases, but
the insides are in good order, and il
runs well. It'll let you know when
feedin' time comes, sartln.
"Howl you trade?
"I'n give you my watch for one OF
your clocks, and call it a bargain, with.
out any ifs or lands.
"Done !" cried Brown, and he selected
steeple-topped Connecticut clock and
brought it into the store. There's
your clock. Now where's your watch p
Davis went to the door and whistled
and called:
"Watch Watch Here. old fellow;
you're wanted 20
The dog came in with bound.
"That's the watch, Brown. You'll
find his in'ards perfect, and can run like
Sancho and when it comes meal time
if he don't let you know it, I'm mis-
taken in him."
The peddler gasped and staggered
and he said something not qaite prope
to ears polite; but he did not bacl
down. He only said, as he hitched tn,
dog to the axle-tree of his wagon ant
prepared to drive off:
"Somebe dy'n pay me for that clocl
before night.
And opine that there are hundred
of people to-day in that section of Nev
Hampshire who have firm belief tina
they helped to pay old Brown for tina
clock.
