A man named Dougherty tells a thrilling

The eight children of James Mcmillan,
the youngest of which is 10 months old,
were in their house on Lincoln street in
Johnstown. The family was in the attic
when the flood came. Each Of the large
children grasped smaller one, and the
family got to the root The jam of houses
made it possible for them to walk from
roof to roof until they reached the Morrell
Educational Institute, where they stayed
till next day. They suffered greatly from
hunger. One of the children kept the baby
alive by mOistening its lips with his finger,
which he from time to time dipped in the
water.
AT Pine Creek, seventy-fve miles from
Johnstown, a child not more than a year
old was found alive in the drift which had
come down from the scene of the great dis
aster. 1t had been floating for thirty
hours. 1t is almost miracle how this
mite of humanity escaped death in such a
raging torrent after a journey of seventy
five miles, while many thousands of sturdy
men and women met their death in the
twinkling of an eye.

while the other two looked over her shoul-

as the tears trickled down her face.
In the gray dusk OF that fatal Friday
evening a crowd of people stood upon the
bridge at Bol var trying to rescue the un-
fortunates as they were carried down by
the food Ropes were dangling from the
bridge for those in the water to grasp. One
poor woman's plight was even so piteous
that even strong men wept She was sit
ting high and dry on a substantial pile of
timber that was bearing her down
stream rapidly. On each side of her
lay a little child They were still and
made no outcry as the woman clasped
them close. AS the craft neared the bridge
the spectators saw that the children were
dead. They had been drowned The rope
was thrown to the rigid woman, but she
would pay no attention to it. Grab the
ropeln a hundred voices shouted The
unfortunate creature looked at the two
children and tried to rouse them,
but they had dropped into an eternal
slumber Grab the rope!" the crowd
again yelled excitedly, for the wreckage
with its dead and living freight was very
nearly under the bridge. The woman
needed not the advice or the voices. She
looked indifferently at the strained eyes o.
the men above, and as she passed under the
bridge with unconcern it was seen she was
insane, crazed by grief.
man, woman and child were seen float
ing down on a lot of drift. The mass OF
debris commenced to part, and by desper
ate effort the husband succe eded in getting
his wife and little one on floating tree.
Just then the tree washed under a bridge
and rope was thrown out 1t fell over the
mans shoulders. He saw at glance that
he could not save his dear ones, SO he threw
the means Of safety to one side and grasped
closer in his arms those who were with him

The family of Mr. D. j. Duncan, super
intendent of the Johnstown Passenger Rail-
way Company had narrow escape. One
daughter Blanche was rescued from the
floating debris at Cambria City on the right
bank OF the stream. A half mile below
Johnstown a second daughter Miss Masee,
was drawn out of the water alive
and is well. At Morrellsville, on
the left bank, one mile below
Johnstown a third daughter-Elvira,
with little 6-months-old child in her arms
reached the roof of a floating building,
and was carried by it up stony creek to
Kerinville, mile and half above Johns

Elvira states that the building on which they
succeeded in finding refuge was turned over

follow its movements and keep in safe

the shore when she was received by her
overjoyed mother, who had also a most
thrilling and wonderful escape. She had

of floating houses which went up Stony

GROWING MllLET.
Valuable Appendix Crop for the Silo Rpd
the Hay-Mow.

A Valuable Appendix Crop for the Silo spd
the Hay-Mow.
One great advantage in growing
millet Is that it may be sown as late
as June in our Northern latitude, and
be sure to mature before frost. This
remark applies to the common millet.
The coarse or broad-leaved millet,
called German millet, requires from
ten days to two weeks longer to ripen.
The common millet will ripen its seed
within one hundred days after being
sown. In ninety days, or perhaps less,
it will be sufficiently matured to cut
for hay. The ground should be well
narrowed and made fine so that the
seeds will germinate well and not be
destroyed if lying under clods and
Jumps of earth. 1t is an excellent
plan, if the land is not fine, to roll it
before the seed is sown and then to
cover it with brush or light harrow,
and roll it again. The seed should not
be put in, in this way, if the ground is
wet and liable to pack or become
crusted. The seeds sends up tiny
shoot and it must not be obstructed in
its growth or the crop will be reduced.
The seed will grow well if sown on top
of the ground and left to be covered
by rain, and when rain falls on ii
soon after it has been sown this is an
excellent plan. If the seed is covered
too deep there will be great loss. A
very little manure will give the crop
fine start, if it is put upon the surface.
For these reasons commercial manures
can be used to advantage. | SOW this
form of fertilizer broadcast, mixed
with land plaster-equal bulks-at the
rate of 100 to 800 pounds per acre, ac-
cording to the quality of the land. A
peck of seed is ample for an acre. if
the land is well prepared; if not, more
seed must be used. | have always
sown the seed broadcast.
l have allowed the millet to ripen
its seed and used it for chicken feed
and ground it with oats for food for
animals. The seed makes rich food:
but it is unwise to grow millet in the
way best adapted for this purpose as
the forage will not then be nearly SC
valuable. | am sure that when the
seed is allowed to ripen, the amount
OF digestible nutriment in the forage
is reduced one-half. 1t makes very
poor hay. When cut while the plant
is coming into bloom, millet makes
excellent hay which is good food for
any kind OF stock. Cows do well on
it. 1t is nutritious and cattle are
fond of it. Millet is a good crop for
the silo.
have cut it the last of September
and cured it for the NOV. 1t should
be put into the cock as soon as it is
dried a little, and if the weather is
threatening, it may be cooked as soon
as cut. 1t is better to have it wilted
If possible before cooking. 1t is pos
sible to gather a crop Of clover and
then put in millet on the same land
and have it mature sufficiently for hay.
A profitable change can be made with
run-out meadow, or pasture, by
turning it over the first of June, or
even up to the middle OF that month,
and growing a crop of millet. Millet
may very properly, like fiat turnips,
be termed an appendix crop.-Cor
