GOOD OLD YANKEELlND.
1t Is Well Represented at the World $
Fair.
Every New England State Has Handsome
Home at jackson Park-Maine's Noble
Structure-The John Hancock, Man
sion-vermont's Building.
Especial worlds Fair Letter. |


Off to the northeast corner of the ex-
position grounds lies group of states
headed by the old Pine Tree state,
Maine. The washing of the waves
along the rocky beach of Lake Michi-
gan reminds these sturdy sons of New
England of the broad waves of the old
Atlantic, and they have clustered to-
pether in small, but homelike, houses
where their people gather to visit and
rest.
The Maine building is primarily a
general reception headquarters, not
only for Maine people attending the
exposition but for all natives of Maine
who are now living in other states and
may visit the fair.
The Sons of Maine in Chicago, an
organization comprising large, enter
prising and loyal body of men. early
determined that their native state
should have one of the best locations
on the exposition grounds, and they
selected the ample corner lot at the
head of the cluster of lots occupied by
the sister New England states Wide
avenues bound it on two sides while in
front stretch the broad waters of Lake
Michigan-a most appropriate accom-
paniment to the exhibition of one of
the great maritime states of the nation.
To get this location the Maine men
promised to erect a building which
would not cost less than 1875, 900.
The state appropria ton was only $1o,-
600, but the generosity of the manu-
facturers and producers and of private
citizens raised the amount and build
ing worthy their efforts was erected.
The structure in it's entire construc-
ton is suggestive of the industries Of
the state. It is octagonal in form, 65
feet across, each side of the octagon
being 81 feet, and two stories in height

The Maine NOn-FOrfeiture Law.

There can be no reasonable doubt, but
that one of the chief contributing factors
in the Union MutuaPs acquisition of
New Business is the fact that the Bene
fits of the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law
are daily becoming better understood by
intending insurers-and with this clearer
understanding they naturally secure
Policies containing its benefits, it being
equally well understood that the Union
Mutual Life Insurance Company, of
Portland, Maine. is the only cOmpa-
nv issuing Policies under this law.
During the twenty-six weeks constitut-
ing the first half of 1898, no fewer than
thirteen notices OF Deaths were re-
ceived in which the respective Policy-hol-
dershad through some cause or causes al
lowed their Policies to lapse, and upon
which. without any action whatever on
their part their insurance was continued
by the benefcept operation of the Maine
Non-Forfeiture Law. These Policies ag
gregated in amount more than $32, 200.

men may be summed up in one sentence
All the old, barbarous methods are dis
carded, and in their stead arterial injec

mutilate the corpse in the slightest de-
gree are employed.
The business of embalming seems like
queer occupation for the gentler sex, but
it is an interesting fact that there are now
nearly 800 ladies in the United States
engaged in undertaking, and several of
these are very skillful embalmers. Mrs.
J. L. Young of Vinton, Ia, began as her
husbands assistant, but soon developed
such mastery of it that he gave her en-
tire control. She is native of New
York, born Miss Fellows.
Mrs. James T. Brett of Milwaukee, a
native of Boston, developed early in life
a peculiar aptitude for ministering in
the house Of mourning and is now a
truly scientific ladies' embalmer. She
is also writer of ability, a lady of re-
fnement and high social position. Mrs.
Fred H. Russ Of Chicago, of the firm Of
..Mr. & Mrs. Fred FL. Russ" as it is
now established, is also skillful en-
balner and very graceful writer. Mrs.
John Greenslade Of Bellevue, o., studied
embalnling under the instruction OF
Professor Rcnonard and has been in the
practice two years. Mrs. Heaton Dart
was the first lady embalmer in New
York city and state, took a thorough
course of study and has been in the bust
ness over 10 years.
Miss Fannie Gardner of Vincennes
has the honor of being the first lady
undertaken in Indiana. She has also
taken course in the study of embalm-
ing and is entering on the work. Mrs.
ELLEN Moore Of Beading, Pa. began to
serve as an undertaken in 1851, and at
date of her last report had laid out 5,43e
bodies. Another very old practitioner
is Mrs. George f. Wildman of Bridge
port, Conn, who began in 1916 at the
age Of 16.

EMBALMING BODIES.
Strange Occupation Followed by
Many American Women.

They Are Adopts at nIinistering In the
House of neutrality-suspicious. Develop
ments of the Ancient Egyptian Art OF
Embalnaing the Dead.
Very few Americans know that the
ancient art of embalming has been COM
pletely restored and improved, though
not in the ancient way. Not only are
bodies now preserved Ar more perfectly
than at any time by the Egyptians, but
all the unpleasant, not to say revolving,
incidents of their practice are avoided.
At the outbreak of our civil war it was
taken for granted that speedy decay was
the fate of all the dead. and it was only
by such rude appliances as ice and salt
or the most pungent drugs that any of
the bodies of those slain in battle could
be taken home for burial. The demand
suddenly created set hundreds of physi-
clans and undertakers to investigating
but such is the natural reverence for all
that is old that people generally spoke Of
enbalming as lost art, and even the
scientific declared that in this climate it
would be impossible to preserve corpse
as in ancient Egypt.
At the very beginning of the war one
Confederate and several Federal surgeons
began to study methods Of corpse pre-
servation, and the net result of all their
