A Miser's Last Wish

The Vienna correspondent of tAS Lon.
don News tells the following story Ct e
Rumanian miser: "a Greek died in the
small town of Caracal, having always
lived on the aims of his compatriots.
Before dying he made his wife swear
that she would bury him in the dirty old
overcoat which ho wore every day. the
poor woman had to ash the Greeks ot
Caracal to help her to provide the costs
of the funeral. A good-hearted Greek
went to see her in her affl;ction, and
pointing to the body said he would give
her better coat to bury the man in.
Thon she told him of the dead mans
last wish. The Greek, whose suspi-
cions were awakened, told her that she
should certainly not part with the body
before she had well examined the coat,
for there must be some particular reason
for the request. The widow unpickcd
the lining of the overcoat and found
$1,000 in back notes which the miser
wished to take to the grave with him.

cias. 1t would be a waste of time and
material to attempt to crystalize the
flayorless Florida orange peel. AS only
the rind is used in this candy, the pulp
and juice may be utilized for some otheJ
purpose.
Put the peel in cold water and set il
away for at lea5t nine days. Then scald
it up in the water in which it has been
soaking. 1t must be kept while it il
soaking in a cold place, but not where il
will freeze. When it has been thor.
oughly soaked boil it till it is tender,
draIu it out OF this water, dry it with
cloths and cut it into long strips of uni.
form size. Make a thick syrup, in the
proportion of pint of sugar TO a pint
of water. When this syrup has boiled
ten minutes put the peel in it and let in
boil down slowly until it begins to
shrivel and the syrup is reduced to a
rather soft candy. This can be ascer.
tanned by testing the syrup. When ii
forms soft, creamy ball between the
fingers it has cooked enough. Drain the
peel out, spread it on creased papers,
taking care that the strips do not touch
each other. When they are thoroughly
dried make them into little sheaves,
tying them around the centre with
narrow ribbon of white satin or pale
orange color. They look very pretty
