A tombstone requisitioned as a doorstep has been discovered in- a lonely farmhouse' situated 1 near to Cassiobury Park, Watford. This stone, a fine niece of Portland, serves as a doorstep leadinn from the dining room to the conservatory, and is lying face downward. Workmen engaged in carrying out certain repairs and alterations came upon this stone, which beats the inscription, “In loving memory of —, the beloved wife,” etc. They were instructed by the owner, who occupies the house, to replace it, and' the, tombstone is again fulfilling its somewhat novel purpose.
