I find that if old people are put on a good meat diet in the way of strong soup, bed Ic.i, and animal food, and only just sufficient farinaceous food and fats and sujir to maintain the heat of the body, they increase won derfully in energy and, as they often express it, feel twenty years younger 1 his is only natural : it is a food of energy ; the food that builds up mus clc, nerve, and constitutional stamina. The requirements of the system in old age, as a rule, are not very great, and more harm is done bv taking too much food than by takin;'too little. I nave known people considerably over seventy deri-e the greatest benefit from a thorough change in diet. It seems to rejuvenate them. Of course, in old age care should be taken that the body is not subjected to rapid changes of temperature. When the nervous power is decreasing as the re suit of age and the system is losing the power of combating cold and strain upon its energy, a stimulating diet invigorates and is conducive to maintaining constitutional stamina) better than any other. And natural death but from old ag-e and general decay is an accidental death ; that is, it is due to causes which might and even perhaps, could have been entirely avoided and reme died in earlier years. But, of course, all the secrets of attaining extreme age are not even now within our reach, and the few that I have pointed out are but a vtry few and those of the commonest, It is the inevitable law of nature that we must die. The vital energy that is implanted m the body at birth is only meant to sustain it for a cer tain number of years. It may be husbanded or wasted, made to burn slowly or rapidly. It is like the oil in a lamp and may be burned out to little effect in a little time or care fully husbanded and preserved, and thus made to last longer and burn brighter. It is 1 moot question whether everr j individual is not at birth gifted with j the same amount of vital energy and j of life sustaining power. The proba bility is that each is.

The traveler through some of the more remote rural regions of Maine occasionally hears what most man of three score and ten remember as a familiar sound in their young da.s the tolling of a church bell on the death of a denizen of the neighboiho'xl the strokes numbering the years of the person s lite. 1 here is something pe culiarly solemn about the u-c of the bell, so Ion? neglected in the more populous communities, and to a writ er for the Lewiston Journal no funer al service ever brought the fact of death home with the same pathos as listening to the unexpected sound of the death bell, startling the-com munity into a hush, broken for a few minutes only by the low, whispered query, "Why, who can that be ? Then, as the tolling went on, the count was kept carefully to help solve the mys tory. The tolling began usually very soon after the breath had left the body, and before the news had spread through other channels. If a very aged person, the count would require a considerable time, whi'e all would sit very still and listen for the strokes. A very dramatic scene connected with this old custom of tolling , the age of the dead is told by Miss Mu'ock in her novel, "A B'ave Lady." It is here the shallow rector has med other money than his own, and is on the point of exposure, and his wife sees no way to avert the disgrace about to settle on her husband and children, when the solemn sound of .
