Runaway Pond.

On the sixth day of June, 1910, a food
occurred in Glover, VT, and its vicinity,
very similar in cause to the disastrous
inundation in Hampshire County, al
though fortunately no loss of life re-
suited. The account appended Is from
Coolidge and Mansfeld's History OF
New England.
Long Pond. now better known as
Runaway Pond, was situated partly in
Glover and partly in GreenSbOrOugh.
This pond was one and a half miles
long. and about half mile wide, and
discharged its waters to the south,
forming one of the head branches of the
river Lamoille. On the date mentioned
about sixty persons went to the pond
for the pursOse of opening an outlet to
the north into Barton River, that the
mills on that stream might receive an
additional supply of water.
A small channel was eXcavated and
water commenced running i'll IL north
erly direction. 1t happened that the
northern barrier of the pond consisted
entirely of quicksand, except an incrus-
tation of clay next the water. The
sand was immcd ately removed by the
current and IL large channel formed.
lie DaSlll 1ollilttl ny tlit lHCiuStltiS vi
clay was incapable of sustaining the
incumbent mass of waters, and it broke.
The whole pond Immediately took a
northcrly course, and i'll fifteen minutes
from this time its bed was left entirely
bare. 1t WAS discharged so suddenly
that the country below was instantly
inundated. The deluge advanced like
wall of waters, sixty or seventy feet
in height. and twenty rods i'll width,
/ dwelling the forests and hills. and filling
up the valleys. and sweeping off mills,
houses barns. fences, cattle, horses and
sheep us it passed. for the distance of
more than ten miles. and barely giving
the inhabitants sufficient notice of its
approach to escape with their lives into
the mountains.
\ rock, supposed to weigh more than
one hundred tons, was removed half Il
mile from its bed. The waters removed
50 rapidly as to reach Memphremagog
Lake. distance twcnty-Sevcn miles, i'll
about six hours from the time they left
the pond. Nothing now remains of the
pond but its bed. IL part of which Is
cultivated and Il part over@rown with
bushes and wild grass. with Il small
brook running through it. which is now
the head branch of Barton River.
The channel through which the wa
tiers escaped is hundred and twenty
seven feet III depth and several rods i'll
width. a pond, some distance below,
was. at first, entirely filled with sand,
which has since settled down. and it is
now about one-nalf its former dimen-
>ionS. Marks of the ravages are still
to he seen through nearly the whole
course of Barton river.

Butter in France.

If our dairymen need ii spur. an eye
opener, Il lesson which speaks volumes
in three words, here is one at the head
of this article.
Butter is actually brought from
France and sold by the New York deal
ers. And this is thus because there is
an actual scarcity in the market of good
butter put up in attractive shape for
small consumers.
When we know that one dairyman
gets Sl.l5 pound for his product an
other 81, and another IS cents for the
year round. at his dairy door, it is east
~ seen that it will pay to bring butter
across the ocean from France. if ii is
only good and Shapely enough to suit
the fastidious purchasers who will have
something nice. whatever it may cost.
All this butter is made from choice
cows, choicely fed on clean, sweet food.
and milking is done i'll the cleaneSt
manner. The milk is handled carefully
as if it was nectar: the cream is churn-
ed with the utmost care by clock and
thermometer. the butter is worked with
skill. and is made up in shapely cakes
which do not require to he cut when
brought to the table. Compare, then.
this cake-hard. golden yellow, sweet,
fragrant and tempting To all the senses
-" it'll an unsightly chunk, which iscut
out of Il greasy keg, and smells of old
aSee and ramcidity, and is made from i'll
and carclessly MIXED. and is churncd
anyhow. and the difference is amply ac-
counted for.-N. Y. Tribune.

New Houses.

The coincidence of mans moving
into a new house and diving soon after
has frequently been a subject of remark,
and there is an avoidable cause.-the
house moved into before the walls and
the'plaster and the wood are sufficient
" dried. Sometimes the cause of death
is the poisonous character of the water
conveyed through new lead pipes. No
water for drinking or cooking purposes
should be used in building supplied
with new lead pipes, in whole or in
part, for at least one month after the
water has been used daily; this gives
time for protecting coating to form on
the inner surface of the pipes, when
their chemical change from contact with
water generally ceases.
But the damp materials of the house
have the most decided effect, especially
on persons over fifty years old or OF
frail constitutions; whereas if the per-
son were in the full vigor of life and
health, not even an Inconvenience would
be experienced.
In building new house, or in going
to live in another locality where the
water supply is not far from the house,
it should bc ascertained with the ut
most certainty that the spring or well is
higher than the privies or barn yards.
Insiduous and fatal forms of decline
and typhoid very often result from per-
sons drinking water which is drained
from the localities named.
The safest plan, and the only safe
plan for furnishing dwellings with the
most healthful and unObiectionable wa
ter, is to have water-tight cistern, and

money. and drinks. DR.. Pierce shows
that our Reform Schools as at present
conducted are not tit places for this
class of youths, and suggests that the
most feasible way of caring for them is
the establishment of small family
schools where not more than six or eight
can be brought under the care of some
reforming man." who having the gift
to deal with such cases might save them
to their parents and to society: The
subject is one of interest and lmpOr-
lance. and no one is better qualified, by
his long experience with such classes,
to discuss in than DR.. Pierce.

Bushing Peas.

An exchange says: "All the efforts
to bring out bush or dwarf pea of as
fine quality as the old fashioned climb
ers, have thus far proved unavailing.
There are, indeed. many very choice
dwarf peas, but for prolific bearing and
fine flavor they are all inferior to the
high sorts. The great draw back upon
the growing of the higher varieties, is
the trouble and expense of bushing
them. Our practice for several years
has been to use Irvine instead of brush.
and to those who have to procure brush
at great cost, the following method rec
commended by correspondent of the
London Field, will prove advantageous.
He says: A few rough stakes should
be obtained and driven into the ground
on either side of the row. about twelve
feet apart. these stakes should be of
Il corresponding height to that of the
peas, and when the required number
for IA line is inserted, some tar Irvine or
other strong cord may be tied to the
end stake. and passed along the line of
stakes, making Il turn on each within
few inches of the ground. and as growth
progresses. raise the next turn Il little
higher, advancing in succession until
the plants attain their full height.
These lines being run on at the right
time, the tendrils of the peas will clasp
firmly round them and support the
plants quite equal to the well known
plan of bushing. Some imagine an ad
vantage to be obtained in this way of
training, as the lines get a better circu-
lation of air, and pods can be gathered
at all times without injury to the
haulm. Two lines are quite sufficient.
When it becomes desirable to place the
third, our practice has always been to
take off the lower and place it above
the second. and so on through the en-
tire period of growth

SCOT FOR CABBAGE FLEAs.-As soon
as our readers begin to work in the
garden we shall begin to hear COM
plants of the injury being done by cab
bage and turnip tieas. In time let us
say that busting of the plants with
SCOT is not only an excellent preventive
of the ravages of these insects, but it is
also a first rate method of stimulating
growth. Now, when you have occasion
to clean ont your chimney, stOvepipe
or stoves, where SCOT accumulates
more or less, save all You can and put
it aside in some dry place for a time of
need. Put all your fine, dust-like ashes
i'll with the SCOT and in spring sift out
all the Jumps, adding an eaqual guam
tity of dry earth or sand to the pure ar
ticle. To every barrel of this COM
pound add one pound of powdered
sulpher, thoroughly mixing it through
the heap. Keep dry and under cover
until wanted for use. This mixture
will be found excellent for busting over
melon aud cucumber vines as well as
upon the cabbage and tomato plant.

SoLDERISG.-Every housekeeper may
not know of what they are capable in
the line of keeping their tin ware in
order. For the benefit of such. | will
say that it is easier to solder such things
than to pay a travelling tinker two pri-
ces for mending them. Take IA sharp
knife and scrape the tin around the leak
until it is bright, So that the solder will
stick. Then sprinkle on little pow
dered resin (they have liquid solder to
sell, but resin will do just as welD; lay
your solder on the hole and with your
soldering iron melt it on. Do not have
the iron too hot or the solder will ad-
here to that. After two or three trials
you can do a job that you will he proud
of. If you do not own soldering iron,
procure one by all means but when
hard pressed, have used the knob on

BREAKING Up SETTING HEM
friend of ours told us, the other day,
how his wife cures hens of setting and,
as it is Il very novel way, we will re-
peat it for the benefit of others who are
bothered with inveterate old settlers.
Picking up some splinters from the chip
yard, (some four or five inches long,)
she bound them firmly to the hens legs,
leaving only the hip joints in working
order. Biddie was outwitted like the
old Dutchman's hen, she would have to
set standing up.-A Rural Reader.
