Dream Made PIumber Rloh.

On Fastening down to recover the

the lead which it contained instead of
lying in an intact mass, was scatter

Preserving Family Name.

Very common in Japan is the GUS
tom OF adopting children TO keep a
family name from becoming extinct.
There is scarcely family In which
1t has not at some time or other been
observed. A person who has no male
issue adopts son, and. IL he has q
daughter, often gives her TO tho
adopted son in marriage. A youth
or even a child, who may be the head
or family, occasionally adopts. on
the point OF dying, son older than
himself to succeed him.
