Thoughts on Breeding.
By John Duncan

Il has been found By those who
have examined the matter that
demonstrated kinds OF animals "are
more prolific than Wild ones. Tame
geese and ducks lay more eggs than
wild ones. Dogs have a larger num-
Der Of young than their Wild cons-
ms the wolf and the fox. The
tame varieties OF swine are more
prolific than the Wild kinds The
wild rabbit is said generally TO
breed four times year, and to
produce from four 10 eight young;
the tame RABBIT breeds six or seven
times yearly. and produces from
four to eleven young Wild pigeons
do not breed so often as tame
varieties. and Maegilliyray states
that while the wild rock-pigeor
breeds but twice year, the same
pair. when tanned. generally breed
four times. The greater fecundi
" OF domesticated sorts, as compar
ed with that OF the wild forms, is
| in great measure, owing to bettel
supply OF food throughout the zeal
and the more uniform conditions IL
which the food is placed"
The Big Sandy news. [volume] (Louisa, Ky.) 1885-1929, 1911-07-14

What is needed is not poverty,
but a support that will give an ae-
tivity to all the desirable organic
functions. Privation and want are
undesirable. A plethorie condition
Is the kind to be avoided.
1t is said by one who has given
great deal OF time and ability 70
careful investigation OF the sub
pect. that. Frequently. and indeed
always in old-settled countries. the
proportionate number OF births de.
creases with the advance OF civil
zation and the more general diff
fusion Of the convenciences anC
Injuries of life"
The Big Sandy news. [volume] (Louisa, Ky.) 1885-1929, 1911-07-14

There are some important points
to be given attention in using ways
to improve our farm animals. Let
1t not be overlooked that the best
results here can only be obtained
by a better system OF feeding than
was given to the stock kept on
the place at the ouset The Scotch
saying, that the breed is in the
mouth" expresses an important
truth in livestock management.

French Opera Company.

An important event in Washington's s
musical history will be the coming en-
gagement at the Belasco Theater of Jules
Layolle's French Opera Company from
the French Opera House. New Orleans.
The fame of this organization is world
wide, but it was lot until last spring
that theater managers throughout the
country were able to convince NJ. Layolle
of the wisdom of a trip through the
larger cities Of the country at the con-
clusion of his New Orleans season, which
is always closed with the Mardi Gras
festivities. The tour last spring was a
series of ovations, and 1t was announced
that a similar supplementary season
would be played this spring. The open
ing opera of the coming engagement will
be Massenet's ''Manon.'' This will be its
first presentation in this city. Mile
Marie Louise ROLAND, who created the
role in Paris, will appear in the title
role here. During the engagement the
sensational opera of the age, ''Thais,"
in which Mary Garden made her New
York debut, will be presented, as will
Gounod's "Sigurd,' Massanet's "Herodi-
ade," and Saint-Saens' Samson and De-
luah."

A Sam Bernard Story.

No comedian in the world to-day has
larger personal following than Sam
Bernard Ever since his early hits al
the Casino and Weber & Fields, his Iudi-
crous and pathetic wresrle with the Eng
lish language has endeared him to
amusement lovers. Mr.. Bernard has
made a profound study of the German
character. and while ne is great ad-
mirer of the culture and scientific
achievements of his adopted language ''
he occasionally runs across some anus
ing incident. He tells the following con-
versation which he overheard the other
day in the Bronx In a small drug store
where he had stoppd, while out motor
ing, for a glass Of buttermilk:
The German boy who presided over
the soda fountain was plainly -accus-
toned 70 patrons who did not know their
own minds. and his habit of thought was
difficult to change
Plain soda said a stout woman at
the counter
You haf vanilla or you haf lemon -
calmly inquired the Teutonic lad.
Plain soda-without sirup! Didn't
you understand me? demanded the
woman testify.
Yah, | understand, came from the
placid. tow-headed German youngster.
whose countenance seemed never to
change in expression, but vot kind of
sirup you want him midout? Midout
lemon? Or midout vanilla?"

Robert Mantell's Career.

Robert Mantell is universally conceded
to be the foremost of those American
players who devote themselves, almost ex-
clusively to Shakespeare. Mr.. Manteil is
Scotch by birth and parentage. The
stage called him early in life, but his
parents refused to hear of his becoming
an actor, and as a consequence he ran
away from home as a mere boy and came
to America But he met with no en-
couragement and after two weeks re-
turned to England. where he made his
first appearance at Rockdale, Lincoln
shire, in 1876, under the name Of r. Hud-
son.
George Clark, afterward an important
member Of Daly's company in New York,
was starring through the English prov
inces at the time IN THE Shaughraun," +"
and the youthful actors second appear
ance was made with Mr.. Clark as Father
Nolan in that play. Samuel Phelps found
him in this little company and took him
to Saddlers Wells In London, where he
had a valuable Shakespearean expert
ence After a brief tour in support of
Marie De Grey he made his second trip
to America in 1878.
On his return Mr.. Mantell acted first
In Helena Modjeska's company. but his
stay was brief After a single season he
returned to England to appear with
George s. knight in lotto" and subse-
duently he supported Miss Wallis In Lon
don in an extended standard repertoire.
His first New York appearance was at
the Windsor Theater in THE World" in
1882, and his second and more success
full appeal for popularity, was his Jack
Hearne in THE Romany Rye" at Booths.
The next brought the production Of "Fe-
dora" by Fanny Davenport and Mantell
as Loris Ipanoff achieved q triumph
which echoed for years. In 1884 he ere
ated the leading part in Called Back"
This was at the Fifth Avenue, and later
in the same year he created the lead In
.Dakolar' at the Lyceum.
His finely developed ability and the
popularity he achieved in all these roles
led to his debut as a star at the Fifth
Avenue IN 1886 IN Tangled Lives" This
was completely overshadowed by Mon
bars'' in which he achieved a success
eural to that of Ipanon in Fedora"
M. Manteil worked through long tours
IN various new and old plays and finally
built up a repertoire Of Shakespearean
and classic roles.
since 1880 he has played Tho Corsican

family! Why, the Fourth Of July spirit
of feminine youth would rise so quickly
in revolt that the home would look as II
it had been struck by a cyclone. But it
is all very different in Hungary. where
girls realize and accept the social condi-
tons which give the oldest daughter a
clear field with suitors, while the other
girls in the family willingly remain in
the background until she is married of.
Perhaps not always willingly, but when
they are restive they are subdued by
mother with threats of shortened frocks
and reduced ages.
Marriage appears to be the only voca-
ton in life open to young women in the
land Of the Magyar, and where there Is
more than one in family 1t requires
all the domestic philosophy of the Hun
garian mother to keep matters moving
smoothly. The daughters Of the gentry
are trained from childhood for matri-
monial career, and the question OF mar
riage. viewed from the American stand
point. might easily be arranged in Sc
ries of chapters. There would be: Open
ing of the Dowry Fund" Preparing
Girls for the Altar The Sanctity of En-
gagements.'' The Perils of Filtration,
The Education of the Bride" The Pre-
liminaries to Wooing," The End of the
Woo"
At the age of ten, the accumulation Of
dowry linen begins. The Oldest unmar-
ried daughter is the only one eligible for
matrimony. the younger ones being kept
in the background that each may be mar
ried in turn and no risk taken of having
an old maid in the family. Great stress
is laid on cooking to win and retain
husbands affection. No freedom is al
lowed a young girl in the way Of after lion
from the opposite sex unless she is be-
trothed. When a Hungarian kisses
girl he must be prepared either to marry
her or fight duel with any male relative
if the Irritation be discovered.
The wedding celebrations with people
of the higher social station are tremen-
dous social functions. Sometimes they
last as long as six days No regular
hours are observed, but eating, drink
ing, card playing, singing and dancing
are kept up continuously. the guests and
the gypsy musicians snatching few
hours sleep from time to time. Some
times after the wedding the guests ad-
journ to the house or castle of some other
guest, where the festivities are continued
for another long period.

Barrett Lecture.

In the description Of the Mexican revo-
luton which Robert S. Barrett. the
Mexico City newspaper man. will give at
the Columbia Theater tonight, he shows
a most interesting collection of pictures
graphically illustrating many of the
phases of the situation. The American
army is shown on one side Of the Rio
Grande, while on the other are the
federal troops and the outposts of the
revolutionists. The picture of Gen.
Blanco and his army, ready for charge,
shows the character of the men who are
behind the present move against the
Mexican government. Mr.. Barrett was
for twelve years a newspaper man in
Merico City, and until recently was the
editor Of the Mexico City Daily Record.
