THE JUMPERS OF MAINE.
Queer Doings For Which They Seem

Queer DoinEa For Which They Seem
to Ee Entirely UnaccOuntRble.
There are more Jumpers" in northern
Maine perhaps than in any other section
of the United States. All these unfor-
tunates are French Canadians. The nerv-
GUS excitability of these people ranges in
grade all the way from the case OF the
man who jumps only at a specially alarm
ing sound to the nerve tension of the vic
tim who leaps and hOwls if a door is shut
with little more emphasis than usual.
Doctors who have examined men sub
ject to this strange weakness say that in
a measure the complaint is hereditary.
I In various communities in Maine the
Jumpers are looked upon as subjects
for constant jest, and whenever they ap-
pear in public persons with perverted
sense Of humor keep at them. 1t is a
common spectacle to see these victims
walk along the street glancing about
them as apprchensiyely as a baited badg-
er, afraid TO turn a corner suddenly and
surveying every man who approaches
with look of fear and uncertainty
In some country villages the unfOrtu-
mates have been tortured so persstently
that the authorities have been obliged to
interfere After a time Jumpers" have
their nerves so shattered that at any I'm
toward sound or quick motion by a per-
son they will fall on their knees and
whine piteOusly.
Nearly all Jumpers" say that some
sudden nerve shock has set them of a,
first. One OF the worst cases in a north
crn Maine village says that his brother
fired gun close to his ear when ne was
a small boy. 81 went into Mysteries" he
relates. "and 'hollcred' for half an hour
before they could calm me. l have been
what they call a Jumper ever since. A.
school the children would slap my back
ana shout in my ear. and row the men
around town appear to think it is funny
to keep me yelling and hopping. If they
realized what n Jumper suffers every
time he is sent or, believe they world
take pity on me and stop. It's like dying
to be Jumped. My heart comes mp into
my mouth all my nerves are yanked us
though had been snapped by the neck,
and a great clang goes through my head
like the stroke of Il church bell a foot
from my ear don't know what ! am
doing when ! am jumped | have struck
my best friends murderous blows hef0rr
now when another friend has jumped
me for joke. l would thrash persons
who would abuse me in that way. but my
nerves are so shattered that | cant even
engage in an argument with a man. -

Webster Didn't Need the warmth.
Contrary 10 popular belief, Edward
Everett Hale now comes forward with
a positive statement that Daniel Web
ster was not a drunkard. He cites a
long acquaintance with the eminent or
ator and also an intimacy which per
mitted him to know much of his habits
and desires.
Mr. Hale skaters conclusively all the
evidence of intemperance with which
the life of Webster was impugned.
However, he does admit that the states
man tasted an occasional glass.
On one occasion. just previous to ad-
dressing a political meeting, Daniel
Webster entered a small inn. The
place was chilly, and a large crowd
had gathered about an inert stove. The
landlord was delighted at having SO
distinguished a man as a guest. Hand
ing Mr. Webster a glass of whisky, he
said graciously: Take it, sir. 1t will
warm you up"
THANK you" said Webster. He
tasted the liquor, made a wry face,

ARTIFICIAL MILK.

THE SECRET of artificial milk has
L almost beer. discovered by a
Frenchman, NJ Lajeune, a scientist.
who has been working along this line in
his laboratory in Paris. He has not
yet succeeded in making artificial milk,
but he has, so he claims. made
skinned milk fully as nutritive and
valuable for food and other purposes
as the original product of the patient
bovine.
NJ. Lajeune gives his formula as fol-
lows: To two Kilograms of wheat
flour he adds two Kilograms of barley
malt and -o66 Kilograms Of biearbonate
Of lime. This he mixes thoroughly and
then adds four Kilograms of water and
twenty kilograms of SKINNED milk.
The whole is then placed over a slow
fire and cooked until it begins to thick
en-. After this it is removed from the
fire and thinned with water and then
boiled for five minutes.
The result, according to NJ. Lajeune,
IS about twenty-six quarts of rich
cream, which can be diluted to make
twice that amount of ordinarily good
milk. The product is declared to be
especially well adapted to feeding
calves. There is no good reason, either.
Why it should not be used for human
beings also None of the ingredients
Is harmful in the least, and if the COM
bination doesn't produce good milk, it
produces, in the language o. our drug
gist friend, something equally as
good"
Still, those who can afford to get the
real beverage direct from the COW had
better not take any chances with arti-
fetal mixtures. After all, it is hard to
improve on nature, although the trick
has been done in some cases.

NEW FOOTBALL RULES NEEDED.

4 DISCUSSION is being waged in the
II colleges with a view to the aban-
donment of what are known as mass
plays in football, and the outlook is
good for modification of the rules with
this end in view. It is to be hoped the
change will be made both for the sake
of the players and for the benefit of the
spectators
Excepting the initiated, few specta-
tors of a game get much real pleasure
from the sport, unless II happens to be
one of those rare. occasions when an ex-
change OF kicks is the order of the
play
To see twenty-five men line up with
lowered heads and rush at one another
like bulls on the range is exhilarating,
but it has very little attraction for the
average onIooker. To see these same
men pile up in a mass, jumping on each
other and manning or disabling man
every few minutes is not sport.
But with open-order plays. plenty Of
kicking. running and tackling. football
would be one of the great games of the
world. Nowadays it is too much a
matter of weight and brute strength,
whereas it should develop every varie-
ty of skill, of 1eetness and fnesse. The
change in rules cannot come too soon
to suit the public.
