CAT HE 0F HUNGARY
They Are of Peculiar White, Long.
 Horned Breed.
Are Found I'm Many Parts of Eastern EnroRe Where They Are Used for DrauEht Purposes of
 All Kinds.

The American traveller in south east ern Europe can hardly have failed to notice the various breeds of white long-horned cattle which prevail there. The two best known breeds are the Italian and the Hungarian. It is probably safe to say that Hungarian cattle are an indigenous race, for the great source of supply for white cat tie. even in Roman days, was the re- zion that is represented to-day by Hungary as it's center. This white breed is not confined to Hungary, for 1t Is to be found in Roumania, Trans sylvania, Moldavia, Bessarabia, Cali ;cia, etc. The Podolian cattle are also white, and perhaps shorter in the legs and deeper in the body than the Hun garian cattle of the plains, while their horns are also shorter and much thicker.
 Hungarian cattle do all the draught work that is to be done; blowing is dsne with oxen, wagons are drawn by

with which the production is, received is the marvellous scenic background provided for the intensely interesting incidents of the play. The thrilling illusion of the sandstornl in the Che lala Gorge, where Cigarette escapes the Bedouins by dashing on horseback up the steep mountain side has never been equaled in stage realism. Noth- ing of so graphic description has been seen on the stage since the days of Fanny Davenport's Hurricane scene in Cleopatra" according to the. New York press. The beautiful Villa Aipuenescenewith its moonlight water effects Is one of the most picturesque stage settings ever seen here. The production which comes here is the same as ran ten months in New York and will be exhibited exactly as dur ing it's record breaking run at the Academy of Music. Three carloads of scenery are carried. and upwards of 50 people participate in the stage act ion. Miss Remark is supported by a cast of widely known players, includ- ing her former leading man. Emmet c. King. who last season won renown as leading man with Mrs. Patrick Campbell. Seats are now on sale at 25, 30, 75 cents, $1 and $1.5O.

Iaattle Pointers That Will Make the Work Go Om More Easily
 Ways and Means.

To make beets peel easily plunge in cold water as soon as they are boiled, says the Chicago Daily News.
 If one desires eggs to keep well. place them upright; otherwise the yolks will cling to the shell and spoil.
 It Is said that pinch of saltpeter added to the water inswhich cut flow. CTS stand will make them keep fresh longer than otherwise.
 To remove stains of paint or varnish use fluid composed of i've parts of al- cohol. three parts ammonia and one quarter benzine. Do not use near lighted gas or lamp.
 To open oyster shells easily just place the oysters on the warm kitchen stove for 8 second, then insert the knife between the thin portion of the shell and it will open easily.

 Patent leather boots should never U0 ClSdASu Wltu DldChluS. 1u6y SuOulQ first be wiped with damp sponge to remove dirt and then thoroughly dried and polished with a soft cloth. A very little oil or fresh butter may occa- sionally be used as dressing.
 To make clam cocktail take a little Worcestershire sauce or catsup, horse radish, salt, pepper and the juice of a lemon and beat with little chopped ice in bowl that has been chilled. Place six small clans in each glass and pour little of the dressing over them. The glasses should have been chilled first.
 To exterminate carpet bugs take three ounces of common salt, one ounce of alum, one ounce of chloride of zinc. Make solution with two quarts of water and let it stand one night in a covered vessel. Next morning pour the liquid off the drugs Dilute with two quarts of water and sprinkle the edges of the carpet for a distance of ten or 12 inches from the wall. The bugs will leave and the carpet will not be injured.

mals of foreign dairy breeds, mostly Swiss or German. s9 Hungarian cattle must therefore be regarded as draught oxen pure and simple, and though Hungary Is great horse breeding country still oxen are used alone for draught, and reared for that purpose, as being more economical in cost of food as compared with the horse, and having the advantage s that they can be fattened after use. The East Indies and Africa are regions in which 1t is probable that Hungarian cattle could be we'll utilized. The points in favor of the breed are that they are reared under natural or semi-wild conditions, that their size, bulk and strength make them good draught "H oxen, V that they thrive well on svery poor fare. and that they can resist disease better than any ether breeds. On the state farm or domain of Mezohegyes team of Hungarian oxen were found which stood over 17 hands high, each animal weighed over one ton. and each car ried horns that were six feet from tip to tip, and this is often exceeded Teams of oxen shod for road work measuring 16 hands in height are a freuuent sight

ORIGIN OF THE TENT.
Taimudic Legend Attributes It's Tn- vention to the Ingenuity
 of Adam.

An ancient Talmudic legend relates that Adam, on his expulsion from Par adise, encountered a cutting north wind against which his scant girdle ef fig leaves proved poor protection" says Hiram M, Stanley, in Outing ''As he wistfully cast his eyes over the desolate plain of Shinar he perceived at 8 great distance dead thorn bush. running thither he crouched behind 1t, and while stili shivering he saw wild ass como by. And Adam cried to the beast to lie down alongside and keep him warm. But the ass spake ont (t'for asses sometimes spake in those days, as since," saith the com- mentator), and derided him for not having a warm coat of fur. Where upon Adam waxed wroth, and slew the ass with piece of the thorn tree and with teeth and nails stripping off the ass's coat wrapped it around himself. But toward noon, the sun growing hot and a scorchfng wind arising Adam conceived the happy thought of hanging the skin over the bush and reposing in the shade thereof. It was done. the tent was invented and civ ilization began

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 This weeks capital show at the Jacques Is continuing the sensation made by last weeks, and naturally with such splendid bill the attend ance continues large. Cantield and Carleton. who head the bill in The Hoodoo'' are about as clever a. pair of entertainers as have ever appeared on this stage. for in addition to carrying along the bright comedy of their sketch they do some fine singing and dancing that help to make the sketch more than ordinarily attractive. FUy and Clark have another great comedy sketch in "O'Fudge and Co., and they easily divide honors with the head liners. The Flying Bouyards have made quite a hit because of one of them being a Waterbury boy, and his friends give the quartet an enthus s- tic reception at every performalGe. Other acts on the bill, all of which are good, are introduced by Marshall.

UNDER TWO FLAGS"

There are two reasons for the inn nense popularity that has attended Paul M. Potter's draunatization of Ouida's famous novel Under Two Flags" which will have it's first Wa terbury performance to-morrow even- ing at Poliss. One of these is the no table acting of Miss Jane Remark who plays the role of Cigarette, the herOfne of the piece. Her fervor and sincerity in the interpretation of the varied emotions which control the be- roic little daughter of the regiment make the portrayal appear the very incarnation of love. the dominant note of the vivandiere's character Miss Remarks acting has been commented upon as contributing valuable char acterization to the current stage.

THB MINISTER'S DAUGHTER.

This popular comedy drama will have a single presentation at Polls on Friday afternoon and evening. It is regarded as one of the best things that have come from the pen of Bernard Grover, who has no superior as an author of melodramas, and has had as much success as anything he has ever written. The story is very interesting, and the sensational and mechanical ef- fleets are thrilling. considerable scenery being used in the production. The company is a large one, and the feat ured scene of the play, the burning of the Tetlow Oil Refinery, is said to be the best fire scene now on the stage. Seats will be put on sale tomorrow at popular prices.

LEFT HANDEDNESS
And Left-sidedness Said to Be Inner.
 ited from Savage Races.

1ISQ ITOIu savage haceS.
 Much has been written about left handed people, but as no one has here tofore tried to determine by means of statistics how frequently they occur, Prof Lombroso determined to under take that task. He made observations upon 1929 operatives and soldiers, and found that the normal proportion was 4 per cent in men and 5 to 8 per cent in women. Further research revealed the fact that the proportion of left handed people among criminals is. very much higher So that Prof Lombroso regards left-handedness as new characteristic which connects crim- inals with savages, among whom left handedness Is not uncommon. His re searches in this direction led Prof Lombroso to inquire whether there is not also what one might call left-sided- ness. that is. whether there are not people who have a greater sensfbility on the left side than on the right. He discovered that left-sidedness exists in much larger proportion than left-hand- edness. and that 1eftNhanded people do not have more of this sensitive left sidedness than right-handed people. In lunatics this sensitive left-sidedness Is almost more the rule than the excep- ton: the conclusion being that left handed people are more numerous among criminals and sensitive left sided people among lunatics Lom- broso remarks:
 "As man advances in civilization and culture he shows an always great CT right -sidedness as compared to saw ages. the masculine in this way out numbering the feminine and adults outnumbering children. Thus women and savage races. even when they are not properly left handed, have certain gestures and movements which are. a species of left-handedness. Some time ago Da1auney observed that the man holds out the right arm, which the woman takes with the left: from right to left: that the woman buttons her clothes from left to right. and that women and children, when they trace q line or turn a key, for instance, of q watch. initiate the movement from. right to left. while the adult man does so always from left to right. This ex- plains why in the early times, and still among people little civilized. such as Arabs. the writing was preferably from right to left. which is the habit of children until corrected Delauney even went so far in his observations as to discover that antique chronome-, ters were wound from right to left. while modern ones are wound in the opposite direction.

worst of All Mosquitoes.

The champion mosquitoes of the world, according to traveller, are those of Taylor's island, on the Choptank river, Maryland. They are often ha.u an inch long and are perfectly black.
 with white feet. They do not sing and their bite is like the sting of bee Peo- pie who are obliged to go out of doors wear as protection hoop on their
 heads, from which hangs netting. which is belted to the waist They carry about them a piece of fat pork, which when applied to 8 sting or bite acts as an antidote. The Choptank river region Is the great market garden of Baltimore
 Philadelphia and other eastern cities and one theory to account for the re-
 markable size of the mosquitoes is that they feed on the splensid fruits and vege- tables which grow so luxuriantly there and are thus fattened to far greater degree than their brothers who live in less favored localities. Chicago Chron- N.

WISE DOGS.
Can Give Lessons in Hygiene to Thei
 Masters.

"We may learn good lesson from our good friend the dog now and then said a man who is always befriending members of the canine tribe land we should remember the fact at times when we are inclined to quarrel with some of the more worthless members. Already we have learned lesson in constancy of friendship from the dog and men of letters have scarcely praised this virtuous attribute of the dog. The dog is a good friend to his master, faithful companion who shares his masters fortune whatever it may be. No dog was ever known to desert his master because fortune or fate had shifted him from the palace to the hovel, from afffuence to grinding poverty. The dog will remain fast when other friends higher in the scale of animal development will desert and pull away to where the pastures are greener.
 But I was thinking more particu- lariy of another good example which human kind may find in the dogs conduct, and 1t is lesson which we may ponder with profit at this season of the year when one's diet becomes of so much importance in the main tenance of health Despite a popular belief to the contrary, did you know it, was a fact that a dog rarely eats more than his stomach can handle Did you know that dogs as rule eat very lightly and very discreetly when they are sick? Whether you know 1t or not it Is a fact and it is something that we can't say of a man. At least we can't say as much for all men. Dogs seem to know intuitively what Is good for them. They seem to know when they are sick that they must eat light ly and be careful about the kind of food they eat. Nature, after all seems to take pretty good care of the creat- ures, though nature kills dogs just as she kills other things in her vast do- main"
