Collision Occurred -- Rescued Given No Assistunce in Getting Aboard, wiht . '-. Montreal; June at, A. TPasselin, K. C., has given the following opin- ion on the tragedy, based on what he spw of it as a survivor: "fhe moment the .eollier pulled ;clear the Empress an to list te= wards the side on which she had been struck. At omee 1 realized this was serious. I ran into 'the cabin and aroused Lionel Kent. There was so little noise or shock that he hag not awakened. 1 went hack to my cabin and pulléd. on. my clothes. There was quite a slant then. I went to the lower side where some people, perhaps a dozen, were working at a bout trying to get it loose. © We could not get it fhee and some of the men went away. Mr. Kent went to the other side and he afterwards told me' that while he was there he dis not seé any boats lowered from the Storstad. Meanwhile, the deck was sinking more and more. The water was lapping along the edge. Then something .came floating by, and we reached for it, There were. them three or four of us. We found that it was a collapsable boat, and we pulled the boat to us. The deck tilted so sharply that without any im- pulse on our part we were forced on board the boat. We got the oars out &md found ourselves in the midst of a lot of people in the water, and we pulled them in. "There were about forty in &l., and there were about three women. I took charge of the boat, beeause there did not seem to be any one else to do so. I made the people stand up so that there would be more room.~. There was so little room that it was hard to row. When we g¢ clear we saw. the collier some dis- tance away. 1 could not tell how far, but it took about half an hour to row to. her. I did not realize then that she was the ship that struck us. I thought she was some other boat. There were no boats coming from her. When we got there, there was a ladder over the side, but no one offered to help us When we got aboard I saw some sail- ors standing about. The captain was on the upper deck. He. did not Come Near us, I shouted to him, for God's sake, do something." Saw No Boat Launched "The captain came down and some of the men got down 'into the col- lapsable boat and rowed away in it That boat came back and other boats came. The people were taken in at two different places. Sailors stooc about indifferent. I found a rope and got a lifebelt and told the peo- ple to use it around those who want- ed help. There was some bodies in that boat, too. 1 shook two of the sailors, and they helped me; and the three of us worked there for two hours. During all that time I dit not see an officer, and I did not see any boat launched. It appeared to s8e that all these people were terni- bly indifferent. I do not know what language the sailors spoke, but the captain understood, and spoke Eng- lish. I did not see him after he left the deck. I certainly will be will- ing to appear and tell what I saw," added Mr. Gosselin, in conclusion, Lionel Kent, manager of the Ener- getic Explosive company, of Widdi- field, Ont., men were assured after the collision that there was no danger. Digcus- ging the part the Storstad played in the tragedy, Mr. Kent sdid: SL "When I first went out the Stor- stad was less than fifty feet away from us. Then they went up around our bow, and eventually came to about a quarter of .a mile away on the port side. I cannot understand {their attitude in this case. "When their lights first came there. people thought it was a ves- sel coming to rescue thém, and ox clamations and expressions of re.ief came from all sides. Some sail: 'God bless you' to the boat, as though they could hear. But not a single boat was put. out until about daylight, when two little white boats were i put out. They may have had their own troubles, about which we know nothing, but to say tthe least of it it seemed curious. "I was picked up and taken te 'he Storstad. Captain Andersen, who Is a big man, stood stolid and silen: at the top of the gangway as we came up. He may have béen feeilng very deeply inside; dit he did not betray any [of his feelings to us.

The men were just the same way. The horror of the night seemed co wipe away all thought of anything of that sort, but the men did what. they could '{ to help them. People with only one or two garments would give 'nem a others who needed them more, there was a. t everywhere v helpfulness and gallantry. After about an hour tie captain came down and took out about six bottles of whiskey. He left one bottle for us; and took the other bottles for- ward, to Dr. Grant, 1 think, for the other survivors: The best test of [ the Christian is found in his deal with his fellow man mot by. what he tells the Lord and you in the prayer meeting.

D., twelve years after the death of Nero. He said that the remains of the foundations there were unmistakable and had not been identified before simply because most people thought that the Coliseum itself had been begun in Nero's day. "This mighty palace," said the lecturer, covered with plates of gold enriched with ivory and adorned with, a multitude of - beautiful sta- tues, covered an area equivalent to the Champs Elysees. and the place de la concorde. The emperor con- ceived the idea after reading Ovid's description of the Palace of the Sun in the 'Metamorphosis," and it was in the guise of the Sun god that Nero had a statue of himself made nearly 90 feet high. "This colossus. stood in a great four-horsed chariot, and was erec- ted in fromt of the 'House of Gold' Within the palace walls was a lake, which ancient authers compare to a sea, and on its waters were giv- en the sumptuous nautical festivi- Like a fairly palace, the 'House of Gold' was, and as such it vanished.

Rossiter in The Toronto Star Weekly. 3oine little curiosi' might be arous- sd to-day, for-instance; if a merchant announced that he had just .eceived fi a Suasls ment of able-bodied leeches. || " Yet, er less than 100 years ago, || a local i newspaper contained the advertisement of a firm stating that they had just received by ex- press a fresh supply of 10,000 fine héalthy Swedish leeches! A brief glance shows that the fol- | lowing notice does not announce the sale of Pan's pipes: "One pipe and six octaves of superior Madeira. Low for cash." Two others of the same date possibly indicate that this was a sociable community; for example, 20 barrels malt whidky, 50 barrels com- mon de, very cheap by private sale." And. "4,000 gallons Scotch whisky of great strength and lelicious flavor for sale by the subscribers." They wete giants in those Jays. 5 While the electric light problem did not vex the early settlers, the lighting question was evidently not entirely satisfactory. For in an is- sue of 1830 we find: "To he diesat- isfled'uses of lamp oil the undersign- ed offer a very superior bleachad ele< phant oil equal to sperm. A good number of the present gen- eration could no doubt confess to ob- taining a surreptitious pinch from a grandfather's snuffbox. This adver- tisement would seem to indicate that snuff-taking was fairly prevalent in the early twenties: "1,000 jars iac- aboy snuff and five barrels of Scotch do, very fine and fresh, for sale." It would be a nice problem to calculate the number of sneezes in that con- signment. Geese, both dead and alivg are still greatly in demand when the per pound consideration is reaspn- able, but the noice of "live geese fea- thers low for cash" in the Colonial Advocate of 1833 -- ugh, feather beds! > The shoe merchant seems also to have hit upon a modern method. "Mud boots and shoes. Received di- rect from Quebec, an extensive sup- ply of the above, warrantcd water- The varnish the subscriber can furnish at so low a rate as 2s, 6d. a pint." A eonfectioner of York, in 1829, "respectfully informs the Jlaaies and gentlemen that he is now supplied ious descriptions, 200 bottles of lem- on syrup, and a superior quality of confectionery neither imported from France or England, nor smuggled in from the United Skates, but prepared by himself. After relating his un- fortunate business mishaps, he con- tinues "by way of advice to the pub- lic he cautions them ir the use of | soda water, for from calculations made in New York out of 500 who died in one week 250 were the vie" tims of strong soda-water." Alas! there are many victims of strong J soda-water nowadays. | It is comforting to know that the trained flea of to-day was also the entertainer of yesterdays This adver. tisement was clipped from an issue of 1835: "The extraordinary exhibi- tion of Illustrious Fleas, frdm Eng- | land, just arrived in this™ity, and will be open for exibition at the | Steam-Boat Hotel this day.

That i is the substance of an advertisement that appéars in a recenfsissu~ of a Toronto paper, and, according to the man who inserted the "ad," he iw en- tirely serious about the matter. The advertisement states .hat he desires to will his body tothe anatomical in- stitution which makes the highest bid upon it, provided the lowest offer is not less*than $100. The object of | the insertion of this rather novel ad- vertisement is to procure some ready money! in order to enable the man to pay the expenses of a very serious operation, perfcrmed upon his wife at the General Hospital, and ta pay his house rent. In order to do 'hese things without accepting charity, he is willing to forego the privilege of burial upon his death.
