Presence of Mind.

It is said that if you have presence of mind enough to face a raging bull and look straight into his eyes he is powerless to do you harm. “We tried the experiment once,” says an agricultural contemporary, “and found it worked admirably. The fierce animal tore the ground with his feet and bellowed with all his might, but something seemed t° hold him back like magic, and he did us no injury. Perhaps we ought to add, in order to be coriect historically, that the bnll was on the other side of a fence. We never try an experiment of

that kind without taking proper precautions beforehand. ” Philadelphia News.
