A Cook's Last Wish.

A Paris restaurant-keeper, recently deceased, left 250,000 francs to two nephews on condition that, instead of molancholy memories that no one would believe, they should for one year each day affix a copy of one of his culinary receipes to his gravestone, so that even aftor his doath he might benefit his fellow men. No less than 365 prescriptions were found among his papers. Unfortunely, the Paris Tombstone Commission, which examines and decides upon tho inscrip

tions to be placed upon cemetartal monuments, refused to admit the fulfillment of the culinary philanthropist's last wishes. What aggravates the nephews’ grief is the unpleasant fact that the court has now decided that they cannot get those 250,000 francs their uncle left them under certain conditions.
