OLD LADY OF WYNBERG
An old lady of Wynberg, in South Africa, who died not long ago surprised her neighbours all her life by collecting tins of all sizes from them. She was a strict recluse, and her mania for tins was looked upon as ono of her eccentricities. At her death the relatives, on searching her home, found the tins hidden in all manner of places, ind in them were packed notes amounting to the sum of £'20,000.
