HAVE NEW IDEA OF MARRIAGE
Fubllc Di»ou**lon of th* Subject In
the Japanese Pre** I* Regarded
as significant.
A series of articles on love and mar- J
rlage Is appearing In Japanese news- |
papers aud magazine*, as a aign of the
modern tendencies of the Japanese
mentality. Professors In psychology,
achool teachers aud writers of note are
prominent in tlie dlacus*lon on raforiu-
Ing the old matrluooiilaKayatam, all
advocating mole freed .iU for personal
choice.
According to the >!u uu»tnm, the par-
I ents chose bride v J MMagrooin and
I the marriage was p»«tarmad without
the Interested parU*» Having known
1 each other. Marriage waa considered
a duty towards country and family,
tlie religion of ancestor worship be
-1 lng Its principle. The young couplea
I lived with the parents and the bride
| owed complete obedienca to her
1 ! mother-in law.
f 'i'he custom i :evulent for the
young people to meet long before the
marriage taken p!a'e no that ihey may
know each other, and to live apart
from the family is no longer con
sidered undutllul. Yet, of late, the
tendency appeared to marry for lore's
Bake and out of personal choice. This
new and rotuanilc Ideal Is HO strong
that all means are tried to obtain it,
entailing elopements, suicides and
notorious family dissensions. Hence
the discussion for greater liberty and
more social life, which are unite op
posed to the old social system of
Confucius, that men und women should
keep apart and marry for duly s sake
and not for love.

i DEFINES RIGHT OF CARRIERS
l-oay Litigation Over Seemingly Slight
Matter Really Was Matter e*
« High Importance. 4
Long litigation over possession of ■
1 loaf of bread at last has confirmed the
claim of a common carrier to posses
sion of articles left behind by foiget
ful passengers, says the New York
Telegraph. By such seemingly trilling
law and equity often brought to the
attention of the public.
The Issue grew out of the arrest of •
man who picked up a package left by
auotlier passenger, on a seat of a New
York subway train. The trainmaster
demanded the package under the coia
! pany's rule requiring all such estrays
to he turned In at the office, subject to
I claim by the owners. Although It then
; was discovered that the package cou
: tallied nothing more valuable thuu a
j B-cent loaf of l>r*ed the matter went
I to litigation. .
Through all the dev! J. ways that
sucli seemingly petty ca a get up to
the highest court, the case reached the
Court of Appeals of the slate. There,
1 after as solemn deliberation as is given
! to Issues involving large amounts of
I money and more momentous principles,
the court held that the rule of the com
j ttany was bused on a well-established
! principle of law.
The tinder could have no claim to the
article as having been lost. It merely
uud been left by the owner ou the
property «f the currier, who at Mice
became bailee for the owner. The
other person, instead of acquiring any
right to It as finder under the law,
technically becume a thief If he re
tained it, notwithstanding his ex

Pearls From Herrings.
"French pearls" were very popular
before the war. To make these arti
ficial pearls, the French craftsmen ob
tallied fish scales from the Russian
bleak fisheries, and used these sheeny
' settles to give glass beads the luste* of
pearls. The war stopped the Russian
fishermen, and consequently French
pearl-makers could no longer work.
Therefore great efforts were made to
find a substitute for the Russian 38R
scales. Now It has been found .that
the scales of certain sea herrlua am!
shad possess a delicate luster similai
te oriental pea'rls. The silvery coat
lng Is removed and from It "6;sencf
d'Orlent" or pearl essence is made
Ttie essence adheres like cement; and
s glass bead which lias been coa'efi
with It bears a passable resemßJflno
