"SIGHTS" IN COFFIN.
SHREWD ESSEX BUILDER. LONDON, October 3. At least one Englishman believes in using home products, and for the present at any rate he "makes no bones about it," though he probably will in the future. And-the product he uses is one which nearly every one of lis will have need of sooner or later, that is certain. Edward James, a 70-year-old Essex builder, incensed at the dumping of thousands of German coffins cut down an elm tree in his front garden and made his own coffin, which he is exhibiting on behalf of hospitals, He charges a shilling to see a wax figure lying inside, and for greater sums lie takes out the figure and gets in himself.
