A LEVEL HEAD.

The he antace of Presence of Mind in
an Emergency.
During the late strike on the New
York Central Railroad the militia were
ordered to be IN readiness in case OF
riot, but they were not called out.
In an interview Gov. Hill said the
troops were not to be called upon ex-
cept in case of an emergency. The
emergency had not arisen, therefore
they would not be ordered out He re-
marked that this was the first great
strike with which he had had expert
ence, and he did not propose to lose his
head; the only point at which there
had been serious trouble was at SYRIA
cuse, and there deputy sheriff had lost
his head and precipitated an encounter.
The strike continued several weeks,
and there was riOtous action at various
points along the road, but the civil au-
thorltIes were able to cope with it with
out calling on the militia
The test of mans real ability comes
when an emergency arises which makes a
hasty call on his good Judgment and dis
cretlOn. The man who retains his pres
ence of mind, maintains his equipoise
and exercises sound discretion at such
critical junctures, is to be relied on and
will be put to the front.
Men with level heads have the stay
ing qualities which do not falter in the
face of danger. Otis A Cole, of Kins-
man, o., June 10, 1890, writes: Gin the
fall of 1888 was feeling very i'll. I con-
suited doctor and he said / had
Bright's disease of the kidneys, and
that he would not stand in my shoes
for the state of Ohio" But he did not
lose courage or give up. He says: Il
saw the testimonial of Mr.. John Cole
Conn, and | wrote to HIM. In due. time
L received an answer, stating that the
testimonial that he gave was genuine,
and not overdrawn in any particular. l
took a good many bottles of Warmers
Safe Cure; have not taken any for one
year,
Gov Hill is accounted very success
full man; he is cool and calculating, and
belongs to the class that do not lose
their heads when emergencies arise.

AN extraordinary advance in the use of
cocoa seems to have taken place of late
years in England. In the House OF Com
mons. this last session, the Right Hon. q.
j. Goschen, the Chancellor of the Ex-
cheQuer, called attention to it as q cause
for much of the falling off of the use of cof-
fee. He attributed it in measure to the
position a preparation Of cocoa known as
Grateful and Comforting had taken. In
accord with this suggestion it may be in
teresting to follow the course cocoa has ia
ken in England since 1882, when the duty,
which had been standing at Cd per pound,
with an importation Of under half million
pounds was reduced to I'd per pound, and
not long after we lind the homeopathic
doctrine of medicine introduced into the
kingdom, and that the use of cocoa was
specially advocated by physicians adopting
that mode of practice. Soon after we find
the first homeopathic chemists established
in England (the firm of James EppS & Co.
produced special preparation which only
needed boiling water or milk to be at once
ready for the table, and the superior char
acter of this production has, no doubt, done
much. as the Chancellor of the EXchequer
said, to bring about (backed as it was by a
further reduction of the duty to Id per
pound) the advance made.
