Norwegian Bread.

The real Norwegian bread Is the fla bro
or fat bread, made OF barley -four or oat-
meal stirred into water with a little salt, and
ironed out i'll large fat sheets L foot i'll diam
ete1. Sometimes potato, and nearly always
caraway seeds, are added, and to the un-
initiated fla bro looks like so many wrinkled
bits of leather. The large round waters of
fla bro are baked about once a year at the
farm houses, and put away in The stabbur or
storehOuse. 1t is brought out US needed, and
freshened by being put in the oven for few
minutes. a Norwegian table Is never set
without large plate Of ga bro, and trar elers
learn to like the crisp brown wafery bits that
go so we'll with cheese. 1t is strange that
with the present rage for novelties for the
dinner and the afternoon tea table, no one
should have introduced the ga bro, as, in
every city where there are any Scandina-
vians, there are bakers who make it.-Har-

Two men were eating in a restaurant
when they saw the pallid faces of people
who were fleeing down the street, They
sprang through the back door, through an
alley and up the side of a hill, but so swift
was the progress of the wave that they had
to wade through water up to their waists
before reaching the high ground They
had little more than block to go, and the
people who were twenty feet be-
hind them were caught by the food
and swept away The water came in
a wall preceded by a yellowish cloud
of mist or foam, and as it caught the blocks
of houses it swept them down together with
a succession of crashes that was terrible.
AS soon as possible they began the work of
organizing relief parties to rescue the people
who were on the houses that had been
swept back into Stony Creek when the
water could not escape below One secured
a clothes-line which was used to send
out a raft with strong man
to take the people off the houses. A river
man voluuboered for this work, and with g
rope tied securely about his body he made
many trips into the Hood, and each time
brought two people ashore with him. The
other gentlemen carried these people up to
the high ground, where they were cared
for by the residents of that locality. They
rescued over fifty people in this way, most
ly women and children.
Miss Mary Adams drifted on the top Of O
box-car towards the burning debris at the
stone bridge. Her raft lodged about
twenty feet from the flames, Whichswere
burning furiously. Boards and drift of all
kinds was packed around her and she could
not move any thing but her hands and head
The flames crept nearer and nearer, andshe
became frantic calling out to the men on
the bank to shoot her or stone her to death
At last a rope was thToTn her which she
fastened around her body The flames at
this time were all around her The men
dragged her ashore more dead than alive.
Her left arm was broken in two places and
both legs were badly crushed.
Mrs George Staulter was rescued alive
Thursday night from the wreck of house
away down the river. When found she was
lying in cavity beneath a pile of beams
and rafters which held up the mass of ruins
on top and prevented them from crush
ing her She was unconscious and
was Just breathing. Her hold on
life was very slender. one. and

after six days and nights of exposure and
lack of nourishment, spread through the
town, hundreds OF people crowded about

ried to see her 1t is considered almost
miraculous that she should have remained
alive so long. The rain and cold were
enough to kill her.
The body of woman was found with a

to unclasp her arms were unvayntiing. The

victims hemmed in without chance OF es-
cape. People who witnessed such scenes
as those enacted at JOhnstown and
Chatsworth and Ashtabula alone
fully realize the insignifcance of
human life In this latest, and by far the
most frightful catastrophe ever experienced
in America, hundreds of deeds of herOism
passed unrecorded into obltvion-hundreds
of vain efforts were made to rescue the
waits who went floating swiftly onward to
their doom Numberless cases of manly
heroism and womanly devotion might be
recorded, and countless others will never
be known on earth Mothers went to death
rather than accept salvation without the
| children who clung to them Brave men
relinquished d their chances of escape into the
hands of those of the weaker sex whose pitt
! full cries for assistance fell upon their ears.
Stories of miraculous escapes are told by
men, women and children who reached
| places of refuge after terrible experiences
| in the awful food To those who find no
friends in the death-list these narrations
| prove most readable.
Curtis Williams and his wife were carried
| on top OF their roof from WoodvaIo. Their
house struck the Catholic church in Johns
town and they climbed to the roof of that
edifce. They remained there until the
| building took fire, when they made their
way from roof to roof to the hill back oi
| Johnstown.
Michael Ronesen, an Irishman, tells q
| most wonderful story of his escape. He
| foated with the tide for some time when

and borne underneath the water. When he
came up he was struck again, and at last he
