Value OF QuIek DECISION.

AS a rule the man who has trained
himself to quick decisions and prompt
actions follows close to the right. He
does not need to debate questions as
does the man who has become a mas
ter of elaboration. His mental facul-
ties seem to work automatically and
they are generally right. I'm not sure
but that they are more often right
than they are with the man who is
constantly weighing pros and cons and
becoming confused with the issues.
He saves time because he acts quick
ly and he saves everybody the un-
certainty of indecision.

The wIndward Islands,

The Windward islands belong to
Great Britain. They consist of the
islands of st. Lucia, st. Vincent and
Grenada, with the smaller islands of
the Grenadine chain. The islands,
really, form three distinct colonies,
united under governor-in-chief, who
resides at st. Georges, Grenada. The
Windward islands derive their name
from their position, as do also the
Leeward islands to the east, being
more exposed to the trade winds than
the neighboring Leeward islands.
