The Coastina Accidents.

For the past week or two there has
been a record of casualties among the
young people engaged in the fun of
coasting which is calculated to make
this old-fashioned and exhilarating
sport appear one Of the most danger
Gus in which they could engage. A
young man was killed by collision
while coasting in jWaterville. Monday
night, and OH the same evening one in
Oakland suffered broken arm and
three broken ribs: one in Gardiner suf-
fcred broken leg; one in Dover had
his scalp torn from his head and his
comranion suffered serious bruises and
cuts; one i'm Augusta suffered serious
injuries to side and groin and was car
rled home unconscious-these were all
reported in yesterday mornings issue
Of the Journal, and during the past
week or Sc there have been many other
accidents in this section of the State as
serious as those ON Monday evening.
though the fatal accident in Watervlle
is the only one of that nature as yet
reported. The whole record gives a
total of injuries. fractures and mutila-
lions far more serious than all the in
juries received in the much abused
game of football in the time since it
vas first played by Maine colleges, 10
years ago.
And yet, neither the authorities nor
the parents nor the general public
would have anything done which would
prevent young people from indulgins
in the popular sport of cOasting. 1t
has been great winter for the hobs
and pointers thus far. and the smooth
surface. coupled with the lure of the
glorious moonlight evenings of late,
has been a temptation too strong to be
resisted. Even the old folks have en-
We'd the young people their sport and
have wished that it would not be un-
dignified and unbecoming to join them
in it. BY all means let the young
people coast to their hearts content,
but let them inject sanity and sense
into the sport. They should not at
tempt to coast upon hills where teams
are constantly passing, nor should they
indulge III the pastime when the exc
TIng is so dark as to greatly increase
the danger of collision. 1t was the
darkness which caused the death of the
boy while cOastinS in Waterville Mon
day night, 1t is hard for young peo-
pie 20 be careful in these matters, for
thouentfulness and carefulness UNI
fortunately are not always companions
of cxuberant youth. but in view of the
MANY serious accidents which have &C.
CURED in this city and vicinity. it is
only reasonable to expect that the les
son will have it's effect upon the young
people and that every reasonable pre-
canton will be taken in the future.
Coaating is great sport. but hardly
worth the sacrifice of life and limb.

MORE LARGE CORN.

To the Editor of the state Journal:


To the Editor of the State Journal:
I noticed in a recent issue of your
paper in the headlines, Big corn in
stanfort-one ear 10 inches long con-
tanning 912 grains This would not
be much over an average size ear here
in Frankfort Marshall county, but
having occasion to be here in Contra
liza during their annual street fair
which is now in full blast, I noticed
the finest exhibition of corn I have
I have ever seen anywhere. I picked
up one ear which measure about 10
inches, contained 20 rows. of 80 grains
to the row, making 1900 grains. This
was white corn. I then found yell
low ear with 1 rows and SIS grains to
the row, making Ito grains 1 think
there could be picked out of the corn
on exhibition Cperhaps 20 bushels) at
least a dozen ears of each bushel that
would measure 1919 inches long and
would contain /, 100 grains each.
There was one cob of last years
corn from which the chickens had
eaten the corn that measured Is 4
inches long Several stalks of corn
have been brought in both here and at
Frankfort that measure over 16 feet
high. some OF the II feet to the first
ear. with two or three ears to each
stalk. This statement is not over
drawn. NJ. c. NICHOL.
