Japan has some marriage customs
that are at variance with our West
ern ideas on the question. In the first
place, love doesn't enter into the con-
tract at all.
The primary purpose in a Japanese
girls marriage is to get her placed
where she will be we'll connected and
cared for. No mother in all Japan
would for a moment be so foolish as to
think of giving her daughter in mar
riage to a young man who had no
home ready for her reception. He
must have the necessary means to
care for his wife and he must be able
to show a creditable family tree.
Without these essentials he might love
the girl to desperation and she might
regard him with equal ardor, but he
would eve get her.
The Japanese maiden in any event
does not choose her own husband. 1t
would no more occur to her to do such
an audacious thing than to have cho-
sen the name given her at birth. An
interested friend of the family, known
as a "go-between," attends to this mat
ter,

Finds Valuable Bible
Volume Will Establish Claims Of Heirs to
Estate of Many Millions

Unearthed among rubbish in the
loft of an old barn in Huron county,
Ohio, where it had been hidden from
view for many years, an ancient BIZ
BILE bids fair to establish the claims
of many heirs to an estate of many
millions.
According to the statement Of M.
J. Durham Of Middletown, N. Y, who
has just returned from a two months
trip through the west and northwest,
in an effort to locate the descendants
of Absolam Case, the vast estate Of
the late Leonard Case of Cleveland,
Ohio, will eventually enrich hundreds
of his descendants, owing to the dis
covery of the old Bible.
Leonard Case, ST., died in Cleve-
land in 1854, leaving one heir to his
millions, a son, Leonard Case, Jr. The
latter, a bachelor, died in 1880, leav-
ing no will, but property in the heart
of Cleveland valued at $4,000, 900 to
be divided among the 100 descendants
of his fathers brothers and sisters,
covering five generations.
Two years ago Mr.. Durham, who Is
a descendant of Absolam Case and a

Mystery OF POmpeii
Max Nordau Unable to Understand What
Became Of the Inhabitants


Max Nordeau raises a question con-
corning Pompeii which is of double
interest now in view of the disasters
of st. Martinique and st. Vincent. He
writes as follows to the Neue Freie
Presse (Vienna): lone thing has al
ways been a puzzle to me. Here was
a flourishing city of about 80, 900 in
habitants, most of whom evidently
were well-to-do. A few hundreds, at
most, lost their lives in the destruc-
ton Of the city; the rest escaped.
The eruption of Vesuvius continued
only a few days, after which the dis
trict returned to it's usual placid con-
dition. In many places the deposit
of ashes and lava was only q yard
thick, and it was not more than three
yards thick at any point yet exca-
waited.
"How did it happen that these
thirty thousand homeless persons
showed no desire to return to their
beautiful houses, SO well built that

erty in land and buildings, furniture,
bronze, marble, gold, silver and jew
els? Did the men of that time have
SO little love of home that they could
leave it without a backward glance
at the first unpleasantness? Were
the Pompeiians so rich that the loss
of their perfectly appointed homes
appeared trivial to them, so that they
preferred setting elsewhere to restor.
ing their city? Or did superstition
prevent the attempt? This Indifferent
remuneration of their patrimony by q
whole cityful is to me an insoluble
enigma which forces itself the more
strongly upon my attention now as I
walk along the finely paved streets
between houses which need only new
roofs to make them again habitable."

half brother of Leonard Case, ST.,
quietly began the work Of tracing and
locating the heirs. The estate con-
sists chiefly of real estate in the bus
mess center of Cleveland, taking in
the First National bank, the gas light
plant, the offices and yards Of the
Cleveland & Pittsburg Railroad Co.,
The Case School of Applied Science
and narrowly skips the residence Of
John D. Rockefeller. 1t includes some
fifteen or twenty of the largest man
ufacturing establishments in the city.
Ever since the death Of Leonard
Case, Jr., the estate has been the
theme of legal Investigations, but no
satisfactory results could be obtained
because of the fact that the old fam
lily Bible, containing certain records,
could not be found. AS it contained
the names of all the Cases it's dis
covery was decidedly essential to the
location of the heirs.
In the old barn loft Sarah Sears
kading, in Huron county, Ohio, 1t was
luckily discovered, and according to
Mr.. Durham, it is the key to the es-
t~ablishment of the heirs claims.

MARRIAGE IN JAPAN :

Love and Romance Have Little to Do With Il
Making Of the NuptsI Contract

Whenaa girl reaches a manageable
age this "go-between" casts about for
a husband for her. When he finds q
young man who meets all OF the re-
auirements of the family and fortune
he arranges for a meeting with the
girl and her mother.
Another way is to arrange for q
meeting at the house of a friend. OF
course, the matchmaker will pretend
that it is quite by accident, although
all Of the party understand perfectly
that it is by design.
The girl is very shy and hides her
face behind her fan as she bows low
many times. Then she ~retires, blush
ing and nervous, behind her mother.
The young man at this meeting looks
her over and decides whether he will
wed her. II ne agrees, the negotia-
tons are carried to a finish. He pays
for the trousseau and the brides
father provides the entire furnishings
for the house which the newly married
pair will occupy.

FISH FORM AcoUAiNTANcEs.
Pecuiiarities Of Social Life in the
Tanks Of an Aquarium.

PecuIiarities Of Social Life in the
Tanks Of an Aquarium.
It is a more or less familiar fact
that fish of a kind flock together.
Fishes know their own kind and seek
their company, says the New York
Sun.
Put q number of each of two or
three kinds OF fishes in an aquarium
tank and the fishes of each kind will
recognize one another perfectly: and
the fishes Of the several kinds bunch
together and travel around together.
Apparently fishes may also know one
another individually.
It not infreQuently happens that
among fishes Of the same kind In a
tank one will harry and drive about
the rest, or perhaps select one fish as
the object of its attacks, or it might
be that in the case of two fishes of
the same kind in n tank one would
bully and persistently harry the other,
as though besides having a nagging
nature it had against the other fish
a personal luminosity.
In such a ase as that last describ-
ed, it is sometimes necessary to take
the harried fish out of the tank to
save It's life.r II another fish of the
same kind is then put in the tank in
the place Of the one taken out, the
scrapper and nagger lets it alone. He
may not ignore it altogether, but he
doesn't harry 1t as he did the other.
But take the second fish out after
awhile and put back the first one
and the scrappy fish goes t o hustling
1t right away; to all appearances the
fighter recognizes the other, individu.
ally. It may seem strange. but such
is the fact, as observed 1t the New
York aquarium.
