In 1798 President John Adams signed a bill pot* .ting the Marine corps on a permanent basis. A life and dram corps was then authorized, and this became the Marine band, so that it has a history of 127 years. The band gave its first open-air concert In Washington In 1800. It first played at the White House when President Adams received on New Tear's day, 1801. The band has played at all Inaugural balls and all important White House functions since. It has played at all Presidential funerals from that of Taylor to that of Harding, and was present when Lincoln made his Gettysburg address. It played for Lafayette when he toured the United States and for Edward VII when he Journeyed through America as prince of Wales; it also played for his grandson, the present prince. The most famous leader of the Marine band was John Philip Sousa, and some of his most famous compositions were flrst played by the band under ,hjy| leadership. |» WISE WORDS COMERS AMD OOIBS OP A WEEK IN OUR CITY 3heIioteO ! £ffe>e Fulkerjois ««P OOK EMILY," sighed the Hotel * Stenographer, looking after a drt who had just left her desk. "What's her troubleV1 asked the v:Bouse Detective. •"Second-handedness," answered the girl. "She was born that way. Like being born a Chinaman, It's something you never get over. > "She was born a year after her toother Shamus and when she came Into the world her people were kind Of poor. She never had anything but second-hand clothes, second-hand toys, and a second-hand baby buggy. "By the time she was old enough to go to school her big sister had finished a couple of grades ahead of her. She always wpre her big sister's old clothes made over, used her big sistar's school books and even "her dolls were the ones her big sister had dragged around for a couple of years. "When she was sixteen her sister turned into a beauty and left a trail of discarded lovers behind her. Emily Ml heir to most of them. I always iheped she would marry before her sister, but it seemed they didn't do noth- Ing when they were with Emily but tell how much Bhe looked like her sister when she wore said sister's old clothes. "About six months ago sister got married, leaving Emily all by herself. I had given up hopes of her marrying because she hadn't caught any of her sister's sweeties on the first bounce after she bounced 'em. "She was here to tell me she Is go lug to be married. She was entirely consistent, too; she's getting a secondhand husband and sister is going to give her her wedding dress to be married in. Properly to finish up the picture her second-hand husband should buy her a used car and she will be * happy, I suppose." (Oapyrlcbt by the McN»u*ht SxmdJeata, lac.)

Mmtf "j£oidr by Poor VentUatiam To And batter preventive methods, doctor* in recent years have been studying the common cold more carefolly than ever, and two authorities have summarized the supposed causes of this affliction under five headings: chills and drafts, conditions of the weather, Irritation of the membrane on the breathing apparatus, Infection and bad ventilation. The last is regarded as the commonest of all the causes, as warm stagnant air produces congestion and swelling In the mucous membrane which becomes covered with a thick secretion and affords a weak spot for germs to attack, b cool air, this membrane remains taut and well moistened. Then, In a poorly ventilated room, cold currents of air are likely to strike the feet while the head is exposed to the warm, polluted upper atmosphere. This Is Just the reverse of what Is considered the ideal condition for health, "cool breezes blowing around the head, the radiant heat of the sun, and a warm ground to stand on." Exposure alone will not cause colds In healthy Individuals, the doctors declare. Arctic explorers, fishermen, and others who remain out of doors for long hours In stormy, cold weather, often seem Immune from these disorders. Irritation of the mucous membrane of the respiratory passages by dusts and chemicals is also a common cause of oolds. .--Popular Mechanics Magazine. Fewer Pineapples Grown Pineapple culture, once a thriving Industry in Florida, has rapidly declined In recent years. The chief causes are the depletion of soil humus and fertility through constant cultivation and exposure to the tropical sun, the growing prevalence of wilt due to attacks of nematodes and failure to use healthy, vigorous slips In new plantings.
