ance in public, August, 1865. When she
trotted in 2:l7 at Milwaukee, September g,
1871, there was great excitement every
where among horser0en. The majority
doubted the length of the track and the
time. But the track was measured after
ward by competent engineers, whe testified
under oath to its being full mile in length
when measured three feet from the inside
rail and the accuracy of the time was estab-
lished beyond dispute. Ever since
then vast crowds have attended all her
races. The excitement about her
was so great when she trotted at

One young country girl, Miss Annie Kirk,
of Bethel, Pa, is entitled to the praise OF be-
ing the best lady poultryist on record. In
1872 she cleared $3.50, after paying for all the
iced, freight, etc. She commenced with
eighty fowls-Cochin Chinas, Brshmas and
other varieties-and found the Cochin and
Brahmas the most profitable, being healthier
and of speedier growth for the market. An
example was given last year of a lady at
Concord, Mass, who raised gross value OF
$3.50 worth from Domniques and common
breeds; but this was exceeded by Miss Kirk,
whose profits alone are $3.50.

Bayard Taylor writes that the Pssha of
Egypt is gaining golden opinions by his
earnestness in the management of the minis
try of public instruction. His attention is
chiefly concentrated at present upon the
organization of the primary schools, and on
these he is bestowing infinite pains. To give
a thoroughly national character to the edu-
cation of Egyptian children is the aim of
Riaz Pasha, and his efforts are directed more
to laying a solid foundation in the lower
schools than to producing snowy results in
the higher branches of education. Great
good has been done by the enforcement of
strict rules regarding cleanliness in all the
lower schools, and there is hardly to be seen
in any country in Europe a gathering of
children as clean, as neat, and as orderly as
those that fill the primary schools in Cairo,
where tho new organization is thoroughly
established.
