An Old lime Violinist.

l.. c. Cummings, Esq, of Prospect is
an old school violin player having been
a scholar of the famous Jack Douglas.
There is no doubt but that Mr.. Cum
mings has played the violin for more
dances than any other man in the State
of Maine. He is now past 10 years and
is still playing the violin for dancing
parties. He began dance-playing when
he was IA years old. Two of the best
violins in the State are owned by him.
One, the Jack Douglas violin, has a
record of being very old, another is one
of the Gaspard De Solo make, and still
another is a Hoaf, made in 1891. This
violin Mr.. Cummings is now using. For
tone, softness and strength, it cannot
be equalled. The quality of the tone is
large, clear and mellow. Mr.. Cum
mings' grandson, r. Libbeus Brown, is
soon to begin violin lessons with Mr..
Cummings He is a lad of 10 years and
is called by the name Of 'the silver
tongued singer" He sang Christmas
night at the Clark schoolhouse. His
musical talent is inherited from his
mother, who was one of Names best
musical teachers and a gifted singer

the sobriquet of "the spring-gun man.
for having protected his premises in
South Bellingham with a spring gun
which caused the death of Charles d.
Proctor of Rockland, Me-, who tried to
enter the house and who was killed by
the death-deaIing instrument, will have
to answer to a charge of manslaughter
which was preferred against him today
by District Attorney Grover. There is
little dispute as to facts, the purpose
being to determine how far man may

A warrant has been given SheliH
Fitzpatrick for his arrest, and ne VIII
be asked to appear or he will be extra
dited from Woonsocket, r. l., where he
lives during the winter. Opinions differ
here and the sentiment in the case has
almost divided the district into frsc-
tions, for there are many who maintain
that man has right to defend his
property as he wishes. In the mean
time the spring gun is set awaiting an
other victim.

Thinking an Exhaustive Process and
the Need the Brain Worker
Has of Repair.

AccGrdiags9o the theories PROFOUND
ed recently by Or. Wilhelm OSWALD
Of The University Of Leipsic, in his
/ lecture before the students Of Colum'
bia university, the length Of human
I life depends upon the store OF psychic
/ energy which is within the body. The
! prolongatioa of life at pleasure, ac.
cording sto~his theory. should be mere
/ " a question of reyitalizing the body
occasionally with this mysterious
force, which travels through the nery.
Gus system, and which experiment has
shown to be closely akin to electricity.
DR. Ostwald said in part
Thinking is the most exhaustive
Kind Of work, because It consumes
more Of this force than any physical
process, II has often been found,
upon stopping the process Of thought,
that this energy Is transformed into
heat in the body and at the same time
there is less need Of reinforcement OF
the supply OF energy, When | am en-
gagged in severe mental labor, as | have
been since coming to America, | eat
twice as much as | do when am not
SO engaged This only shows that the
brain Is constantly using up a supply
of the energy. and to keep up brain
work we must keep supplying the en-
ergy from the outside.
Most of this energy comes in
through the food which we eat but
every sense impression, such as see
ing, hearing or feeling, conveys GER
tain amount of force into the body.
When the body once receives the en-
ersy. 1t acts just like any other ma
chine in its transferrences. The ques
ton of long life then Is simply a ques
