BAND MEN HAVE A DELIGHTFUL
SOCIAL.

The social that was given by the mem
bers of the Zion Band in the College
Building, on Friday evening last,proved
to be very profitable one. The object
of the social gathering was to bring the
band members together in a social way
so that they would have an opportunity
of enjoying the pleasant fellowship that
exists among christians who are using
their talents in Gods work.
Among those present were: Con-
ductor John D. Thomas and wife, Mr..
P. B. Newcomer, conductor of the
Bands; the members of the Zion Senior
and Junior Bands with their relatives
and friends.

Three hundred dollars were appro-
priated a year ago by the Board of

took our courage in both hands, and went
to see Mrs. Claghorn. But we met the
Colonel at the gate, and Miss Sarah cast
herself gushingly on him instead. The
Colonel was fuddled, but courtly. He
seated us on the sway-backed porch, and
apologized for Mrs. Claghorn's headache,
and listened with top-heavy dignity.

Before New Orleans Battle.

One hundred years ago the British
naval forces were beginning to rem
devious in the Gulf of Mexico, prepar-
atory to the campaign before New Or
leans. Soon the calm waters of the
gulf were to be the scene of a great
gathering of men-of-war flying the
British flag. All the vessels of Ad-
miral Cockburn's fleet, recently en-
gagged in the Chesapeake bay opera
lions, were on their way to the gulf,
together with other warships, trans
ports and schooners, to the number
Of 80 vessels. At the head of the
fleet was the big warship Tonnant,

Big Pin Money.

Some of the large dress manufac-
urers in New York, in whose factories
considerable amount of draping
must be done, find that their bills for
pins frequently run as high as $1,000
L year. Used only once, the pins are
removed and permitted to fall on the
floor, where they are swept away.
Even if gathered up at the days close
they would be too dirty for use again.
A company, just starting in business,
proposes to effect a saving in the pin
TEN by taking all the used pins, and,
having cleaned and polished them, re-
turn them at half what they cost the
manufacturers originally. The expert
nents to produce clean, refnished
bin entailed over a years work. 1t
was found that if the pins we're gath
cred together by using a magnet they
made a mark on white fabrics, so this
method was discarded. A process has
been discovered, however, whereby the
satisfactory result was obtained

GETTING ONES SECOND WIND
Explanation of Action Familiar to
Every Athlete Is Most
Simple One.

The probable explanation of the
second wind" is as follows: In the
deep breathing of an athletic person
taking moderate exercise at sea level
lack of oxygen plays no part. The ef
feet is wholly due to an increased pro-
duction Of carbonic acid stimulating
the respiratory center, which responds
proportionally. On very violent ex-
ertion at sea level, however, and on
even moderate exertion at great al
titude, the oxygen supply to the It's
sues of the body is temporarily insult
ficient.
Substances other than carbonic acid,
such as Tactic acid, are produced, and,
when these substances reach the re-
spiratory centers by the way of the
blood they excite it to such activity
that one overbreathes. That is, the
violent painting ventilates the carbon
ic acid out of the blood more rapidly
than the body is producing it. The
substances which thus overestimate
the respiratory center are not VIOLA.
tile and cannot be given off by way
of the lungs, but they appear to be
rather rapidly oxydized in the blood.
When the carbonic acid has been
considerably diminished part Of the
stimulus to the respiratory center is
removed so that one can breathe more
moderately is, one gets his "sec-
ond wind" When the exertion stops,
the production of the stimulating sub
stances ceases, and the quantity of
carbonic acid in the blood having been
reduced below the amount necessary
to stimulate the respiratory center,
one falls into a period of apnoea fol-
lowed by Cheyne-Stokes breathing,
like an engine with a sensitive gov
ernor and no fywheel. Breathing
oxygen under these conditions hastens
the combustion of the acid substances
which have accumulated in the blood.
