A UsefuI Coffin.

1t may not be generally known that
the Dutch Beers at the Cape, especially
those living in remote districts where
material is expensive and labor difficult
to obtain, frequently purchase at least
one coffin beforehand which is placed III
a conspicuous position in the "voor-
kamer" or principal sitting room and
utilized as an article of furniture, for
ornament or as a receptacle for clothing
and other Oddments
One farmer we'll known to the writer
possesses a beautifully finished article
of this sort which he purchased about
80 years ago. During that period he has
buried three wives each of whom hat

monest material and roughest work

possessor stands i'll all its luster of pol
