ECCENTRIC’S WILL.
' THE DISPOSAL OF THE BODY. (Electric Telegraph.—Copyright). (Received This Day, 9.20 a.m.) LONDON, June 26. “That my body be cremated and the ashes not preserved but disposed of by the crematorium or used by'any of my trustees or others to fertilise their potatoes, ’ ’ was the grim instruction embodied in the will of James Christie, a retired schoolmaster and scientist. He stated he did not wish anyone to waste time attending his funeral, as it would do no good to anyone. The absence of the usual formalities would give poor Mrs Grundy something to talk about. —(United Service).
