QUEER LEGAL FICTION.
Il Makes stepney, In London, tho
Parish of Every British Seaman.


Parish of Every British Seaman.
Every sailor. from the admiral to the
newest Joined seaman, on board British
warships is regarded as belonging to
the parish OF Stcpney. in London. 1t
doesn't matter in the slightest where
the ship is, the sailors who man it all
come from the same parish-Stcpney.
This queer legal fiction dates back
to the time Of Charles II. In those
days, every workingman had to live in
the parish where lie was, born. and he
could not leave it without finding two
responsible suretics to vouch for his
honesty.
This. of course. became rather puz-
zling in tho case of people born ut sea.
for they had no parish. 10 get Oyer
the difficulty the authorities stated that
all born at sea would be regarded as
being born in the parish of Stcpncy.
though why they should choose that
parish and 10 other is lost i'll the dust
Of official records.
TO this day the bishop of Stcpncy Is
godfather of all children born ut sea,
while all marriages sOlcmnized on the
ocean are recorded as though they had
taken place in Stepney.-London An

BuRR's SELF CONTROL.
An Incident That PROVED His Perfect
Comn1an, Of His Feelings.

An Incident That Proved His Perfect
Commant of His Feelings.
Aaron Burr was by nature and train.
Ing man OF extraordinary self con-
troll. He allowed no circumstances to
throw him off his balance.
An anecdotc told by Rufus Choate to
Richard III. Dana, recorded in Mr.
Dana's Diary" illustrates the callous-
ness which aided Burr so greatly in
controlling himself.
Several years after the death OF
Alexander Hamilton, killed by Burr in
Il duel, Burr visited Boston, and Mr..
DcvcrcuX of Salem paid him some at
tcntions. The visitor was taken to the
Boston Athencun, where. while the
two men were walking through the
gallery Of sculpture, Mr.. DcvcrcuN
happened to catch sight Of a bust OF
Hamilton.
The thought flashed across Mr.. Dew
ereaux's, mind that Burr might not care
to be confronted with the sight OF the
features of the man he had slain. But
no. Burr was undisturbcd. Hc also
cspied the bust, and. although Mr.
Dcvcreux had instinctively turned
away, he walked up to it and said ii
a loud tone.
'Ah, here is Hamilton!
Then, passing his fingers atong Ger
tain lines of the face, he added
There was the poetry"
Hamilton's contemporaries gave hin
credit for possessing a poetic mind.
