81. Id h:'.r;i:onr with the World's fair
sdty's sorrow came the closing of the
WorM's I u!;i:nl:nn exposition as directed
to the Uoi'e-l State congress.
At sun "d, last evening, the color of
U nations which hare been flying at half
mast since sunrise on Sunday were low
red together as they were unfurled within
sight of President Cleveland at noon on
Kay 1st In t.
Six months with the exception of a day
kave passed and the glory of the exposition
fcaa bc.-u woven luto history of the world's
progress.
At the word of command from artillery
officers the guns of a battery facing Imu
Michigan belched forth a signa.ltelliog the
word that the World's fair was dying with
the setting sun, dying while dirges were
being sung ni.d tears shed and heads were
bowed In grief over the bier of Chicago's
Murdered tuny or.
Awaiting the Signal.
When the sunset hoar arrive da hundred
- Men stationed at the various flag staffs ol
tha nation's colors on the departmental
buildings stood ready to lower the flags
and bare the poles which should tell to the
visitors to-day that the Columbian expo
sition was at an end forever.
It was an impressive scene and the
thousands of visitors who viewed the clos
ing spectacle could not refrain from sigh
lac nd regretting that ths exposition was
aft an end.
The only music which was heard outside
of festival hall came from the Innia 13th
regiment band, whirb played in the court
of honor during the afternoon.
The Farewell Air.
While the noise of the cannon was heard
en the lake front and the flags on the
palaces of the vanishing city were being
furled, the New York band waited to play
the farewell to the fair.
The last flag to be pulled down from
Ms staff was one of tbe three facing the
court of honor from the administration
building. The bamls which pulled it
down were those of the World's fair news
paper men and as Old Glory reached the
ground a great cheer and a tiger arose In
the evening air.
Only tt Part of History Now. '
While the last flag in the exposition was
being pulled to the ground in the court
of honor, the New York band played the
"Star Spangled Banner" and concluded
with "America." A cheer went up from
the thousands assembled within hearing
of the patriotic strains and aftcrtbe sound
of the bujrlj from administration building
the the World's fair became a part of
history.
In Festival hall the memorial pro
gramme was carried out in the afiernoon
aa announced.

Why Grow Old.
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 circum
j stances of the environments from the
, cradle to the grave determine its fu

Tolling a Death in Maine.
a curious custom maintained in re
mote regions ok the tine true
STATE.
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
