One of the starboard boats was successfully launched, and the officer stood, revolver in hand. ‘Wo men first here. Thompson, you will steer her. Take four men and no more.' The young- English lady was lowered down, although she clung to her father and begged him to let her stay. ‘No, darling, goodbye. Be hap py,’ he said, and then stood.composed ly amid the hurly-burly.” By an extraordinary coincidence Stead describes the girl as “a dark beauty, about eighteen years of age.” One could almost fancy that he saw as in a glass darkly the then yet unborn Mrs. John Jacob Astor. “At last only one light boat re mained, and still there were over .700 of us jammed In the narrow space left by the awful list. The captain has dropped his hands—he could do - no more. One sailor said: ‘We’ve stood it long enough, Tom. Let’s have our turn.’ “And he, with three sturdy Swedes, managed to get at the davits.' They were Just in time, for the steamer be gan to sway as they floated, and they were all but swamped by the charge and leap of a crowd who flung them selves into the water. Then I was left with a great multitude; whose agonized clamor stunned me. “I felt a mighty convulsive move-, ment, then the sea seemed to flash down on me In one mass, as if the wall of water fell from a high crag. Then I heard a humming noise in my ears, and with a gasp I was up amid a blackened, wriggling sheet of drown ing creatures. "A boat came past mie and I struck out lustily. I raised myself to the gunwale. ‘Shall I hit his fingers?’ said a man. *No, let him come,’ end I laid, sick and dizzy, on the' bottom boards of a crowded boat You know that we were picked up after a nasty time.” The great journalist’s friends would have wished that last sentence of his vivid forecast could havo applied to his own- case, when the mammoth If it is true that there are 4,000 poets in the United States, why don’t we see some real poetry occasionally in the magazines?

' London.—An investigator, searching for material for a biography of W. T. Stead, the Englishman who went down with' the Titanic, has discovered a strange prediction of his own doom made by Mr. Stead in the’ Pall Mall Gazette on March 22, 1886. This artiejp, written by Mr. Stead, was headed, "How the Mall Steamer Went Down in Mid-Atlantic.” The article appeared a couple of days after the Oregon was lost, and purported to give a description of the scene of horror that ensued, on the then biggest Atlantic liner,'when "at last the passengers realized the ship was doomed. s In a footnote, Stead wrote: “This is exafctly what might take place and what will take place if the liners ore sent to sea short of boats.” Here are some extracts from Stead’s grim prediction: “From below there came a queer sucking sound, with an occasional long gurgle, and I saw that the ship seemed to ’hang’ as the seas met her. “The boats were made fast to stand heavy weather, and only skilled sail ors could launch them. "I calculated that, by loading all the eight boats down to the water’s edge and by packing the children along the bottom boards, we might accommodate 800 pepole. We were carrying 916 altogether. “A loud crack, followed by a wallow ing noise like a thunder, rendered all other sounds insignificant,- and a captain who was going out to New •York, said: 'The bulkhead’s gone. We must take our chance.' The ship stopped nearly dead, and began to tremble curiously, but it was only the river of water pouring aft, and wo soon saw the firemen driven up like A St. Louis woman ended’ a quarrel 1 with a neighbor over their chickens by firing a charge of shot into him.

Berlin.—Tho Prussian diet Is now giving its formal official consideration to a project fpr taxing bachelors. The original bill has been amended .so as to make the tax effective only in tho case of unmarried men whose income exceeds $760 a year. Such men will be called upon in case the bill passos to pay a tax of from ten to twenty per cent higher than married men with correspond ing Incomes. Tho bachelor tax will take the form of ah income sur-tax. The idea Of the legislators who are backing the bill is that men who have have to'support wives or children ought not, in jus tice, be compelled to pay as much to ward the support of the state as men who are leading the care-free, Irre sponsible lives of bachelors. The project Is fathered by the con servatives of the diet and has every prospect of becoming a law.
