Speed Of tho Greyhound.
A number Of persons have discussed
the speed OF various animals, and the

that the greyhound is as fast, II not
more rapid. than any other animal

Going at a full gallop the greyhound
has covered twenty yards. or sixty
feet in a second. or about one mile
in one minute and twenty eight sec

foods of this class, as pumpkins, beets,

not on account OF the nutritive sub.

may be reversed and worn any way
that proves becoming For example,

rolled brim faced with lighter col

Mercury wings directly in frcnt, might
be whipped around the other way II

be equally modish and correct. This
hat has the very tall pointed tor.

brown with fecks Of coral pink color.
