Presence OF Mind.

The power of coolly collecting
ones thoughts in the moment Of dan
ger so IS to be able quickly to de-
eide what is the best thing to be done,
lie very rare faculty; but 1t was ex-
ercised 10 q most remarkable manner
the other day by the railway signal
man at Llandudno Junction. He re-
ceived message from the signalman
at Conway to the effect that an engine
was travelling along the line. As the
Irish mail was nearly due he detor-
mined to shunt this engine, and with
that view put his signals against it.
To his surprise the engine came
laundering on and utterly disregard
ed his signals. The truth suddenly
flashed upon him-the men on the
engine mus. have fallen asleep. In
u moment he wired to the next sta
ton: "Engine coming; driver asleep;
put fog signals on line" The de-
tonators we're laid on the rails just in
time; the sleepers were awakened,
and tho terrible risk to the Irish mail
obyiated. How many terrible mis-
takes in the worlds history might
have been avoided if those in respon-
sible positions had possessed the FORE
thought and decision owned by this
humbls Observation-Disclosures Jour,
