A. man who recently died in New York
had made his coffin 10 years before in
the New England state in which he
then lived. The coffin was made Of
lumber from a hickory tree that grew
on his own place. When it was finished
he had it stored away in the attic. When
the man died the coffin was sent for.
1t was well made and in good condition;
but the man had SO grown that it was
too small. The survivors bought for
him a modern coffin of red cedar, but
they had the hickory coffin taken apart
and placed inside the modern one, SO
that after all the man was buried as
he had desired to be-in his own hick-
ory coffin.-N. Y. Sun.
