M ing baby boys, one 4 and the
L other about ., whose names
arc unknown and who have been
adopted BIZ Miss Margaret Hays,
who was rescued with them from
the Titanic. Miss Hays says
she first took notice Of the two young
sters, both handsome little fellows, as
they played about the deck Of the Car
pathia soon after the survivors were
taken on board. The little fellows could
not speak word Of English, and when
Miss Hays spoke n few words in French
they were delighted and Immediately a
warm affection sprang up between the
three survivors.
Miss Hays says that the boys were
taken away in the last boat that left
the side of the Titanic. just as the
boat was leaving n man appeared on
the deck with the boys in his arms and
shouted to those in the boat They
Immediately understood, and tho men
who were at the oars in the boat stood
up, The man on deck dropped the
oldest boy first, and when he saw him
land safely in thc arms Of one Of the
mon ho dropped the other youDgstcr.
When last seen the man, probably the
father, was leaning over the rail gaz-
ing intently after his children, who were
never seen with a woman on the Titanic.
1t is believed that the children were
motherless and that the father was
bringing them to America to be taken
care Of.
Miss Hays is intensely jealous Of her
little charges and declares that she will
not allow anyone TO take them away
from her. The two bows arc sure OF

ton, rs Miss Hays is well supplied with
worldly goods, aud Judging by the way
she sloops down and embraces either

LEGAL Customs From the Church.


When one lawyer refers to another
rs brother attorney he employs an
ancient phrase peculiar to religious
and legal fraternities and suggests the
close historical relation between the
callings. In England for two and a
half centuries after the Norman con-
quest all high legal Offices were filed
by churchmen. Laymen could not hope
for advancement or for clients, and in
deed the only path to the requirement
of professional education lay through
holy orders. The fraternal form Of
address common to the church passed
naturally into legal phraseologY.
Brother So-and-so Of the monastic Or
der was brother also at the bar. So.
strong was popular prejudice against
admitting the competency Of mere lay
men at law When this class began to
practice, about 1900, that lay barristers
adopted a black velvet skullcap or Golf
to conceal their lack Of tonsure, the
distinguishing mark Of the priestly
clerk. Down to our day both the form
of address and the peculiar headgear
have Remained, although we have ceas-
ed to associate the two professions
