Finland Dairy.Maads.

In Finland dairying is taught the women
in the most thorough style at government ex.
pense. II 1868 travelling dairy-maids were
appointed throughout the country, and, being
paid from the public treasures, every inhabi-
tant had a right to claim instruction or assis-
lance. Tn next step was the founding Of
seventeen dairy-schools, Of which ten were
established by oWnersof private daries. Each
school had a. teacher at its head who gave
theoretical instruction, and q female teacher,
Each school is calculated for eight pupils,
who are admitted by the teacher, and re-
quired to be able to read and write. After
a course Of two years they have to pass a
of the agricultural society. The instruction
given them, during the first year comprises
animal physiology, tending OF animals in gen.
eral, the most common diseases of cattle and
their treatment, the use of the thermometer,
the different methods OF cooling milk and
their effect as to the formation of cream, the
treatment of the cream, and the making OF
butter, the manufacture Of cheese from
SKINNED and unskimmed milk, and, finally,
bookkeeping BY single entry. The contract
for the erection Of q dairy-school with the
owner Of q dairy applying for one IS ggener
ally made for five years. During the first
year only four pupils are received none dur
ing the last. Hence, only sixteen pupils can
be fully educated during the term Of contract.

Greece's Reply Accepted.

The following is the text Of the Greek note
in reply to the proposals Of the powers: I'm
view of the invitation Of the powers to accept
the new line of frontier and In view Of the
present difficulties and future dangers, Greece
has asked herself whether her acceptance
will lead to q speedy and peaceful solution
Of the question. As the past leads US to doubt
this, the Government needs to know whether
the new decisions will be executed imme-
diately, or at least within a brief interval to
be determined upon before hand, and to be
enlightened as to the guarantees the powers
will give 1t on that point. Greece is DESTROYS
for peace, and grateful toward Europe for
her efforts to bring about 3 peaceful solution.
She will, moreover, lose no time in entering
into the possession Of the coded territory;
but, decided as she is to proceed in the path
Of peace, she cannot abandon, in their pres,
ent condition, her children left outside the
new frontier, and she appeals on the subject
to the sense OF justice Of the powers"
The powers, after momentary hesitation
on account OF the unsatisfactory form OF the
Greek reply, have decided to accept II as con-
veying the readiness of Greece to abide by
the proposed line, which, although not pre-
cisely that conceded by the Porte, has been
accepted by the latter also. But while &C
cepting the substance of the Greek reply. the
powers have asked explanations regarding
is form. Premier C~oumounduros said thai

Strange Story Of Isartering in Appoints

CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 2--The term OF Office of
the Hen. John Z. Lee, United States Attorney
for the Northern District Of OAio, will expire
March 16. It Is reasonably certain that hts
SUCCESSOR will be Frunk 6wayne, Esq, Of To-
ledo, son OF Justice Swayne, who hns Just re-
tired, and that Dir. Birchard Hayes, son OF
the President, and Mr.. Swayne's partner, will
bo assistant. according to very reliable ill.,
formation this appointment was Il condition OF
Justice Swuynes retirement. He was willing to
get out Of Mr. Mutthews' way, providing the Dis
trict Attorneyship could be arranged for his
son. This determination was made known to
the President and Stanley Matthews, but as Ar.
Ices time does not pirc until 31urch, tho up
puintn1cnt will fall To Gen Gnr1ield. Judge
Matthews accordingly visited Mentor, and, it is
alleged, secured the desired promise relative to
Frank Swayne's appointment Then Justice
Swayno was ready to hand in his letter.
1t Is alleged further that the President
.is anxious to have his sou Richard hold the
Assistant Attorneyship. He wants the son put
in position where he will be obliged to assume
responsibility. The President not long ago ex-
pressed these views to Judge, resident Of
Northern Ohio, Gen. Leo would bc glad to hold
