SECOND WIND.
“The physical phenomenon of second wind can be given a mental application whereby the individual may attain success in any walk of life, said Mr J. T. Colder,” reports the “Liverpool Rost.” “Second wind could be shown to be more pshychological than physical. It had been defined as •the response of the vital forces to a will that refuses to heed their first grumbling protests'—a definition which seemed to indicate that it was the will that called the extra vital forces into action. But the will must have some motive force behind it to urge it to call up the vital forces. That some thing was vision—another quality of the mind. It was the vision of something desired that kept the will using the whip and spurring on the individual to further effort. The Duke of Wellington said that the French soldiers were not less brave that the British, but the British could hold on five minutes longer. That made all the difference. ’
