Chicago, April 23.-At last it is def
nitsly settled that j. ii. Hayeriy will
have q new theater built for him in this
city. J. b. Carson. his financial hacker
has leased what is known as the Adsit
property, Nos. 104. 6. 8 and 10, Monroe
street, having a frontage OF 20 feet and
a depth of 1894, and it is proposed to
erect the finest theater in America. 1t
will be u feet narrower than McVick-
er's. and while apparently smaller than
Hayerly's present house, viii in fact
have a third greater seating capacity.
The plans are not yet completed.
Mr.. Maun, of Boston. is the archi-
tect, and associated with him is a
Frenchman from the office of the de-
signer Of the Grand opera house, of
Paris. The present intention is to have
a rough stone front with a permanent
awning similar to that Of the Fifth
avenue theater, New York. There
will probably be nine proscenium boxes,
and in the rear of the first balcony. 20
loges similar to those in most European
theaters. The upholstering of the
lower floor will resemble that of Haver-
ly's Fourteenth street theater in New
York.

The northwestern Railroad Company
has spent over three hundred thousand
dollars In the fight against snow since
October last. Thirty-four immense
snow-plows have had plenty Of work,
and these have been backed up tremen-
dously by from two to six locomotives
each. The might of these plows and
the great power Of a snowdrift may be
estimated from the fact that one pillow
weighing f~orty-eight thousand pounds
ballasted by eighty THOUSAND pounds Of
railroad iron, and driven by six locomo-
tives, attacked a snowchocked cutting
but was defeated. The drift was 50
feet high. When the workmen after
thetremendous charge, caught a glimpse
OF the immense plow, they found that
1t with all its one hundred and twenty
eight thousand pounds, had been repealed
as II 1t were a feather, and that 1t had
rolled disconsolately over the drift and
had lodged against some forest trees,
where 1t proposes to remain until sum-
mer. From one cut three hundred and
twenty four thousand cubic yards Of
snow were taken, but in eight hours
the wind had piled 1t up full again.
Nine Thousand men have been employed
from time to time during the winter as
shoyelers.

lowered up Mt. Turnbull, with its white
peak. and the lofty neighboring ranges
as a background for the long sloping

A Horses Instinct.

Chambers Journal
Here Is an illustration of the natural
instinct of the horse when guided by
his sense OF smell. One of our men
had bought or had been given the skin
of a lion which had recently died; and
as the circus was just leaving the town.
he threw 1t on the drivers seat Of ono
Of the vans. to have it tanned at the
next town. The horse la that van was
a very quiet one hat had been with the
circus for years. Nevertheless, the
animal Immediately showed signs OF
fear, which increased in spite of all en-
beavers to pacify him. Then. breaking
loose from all restraint. he kicked and
rered end plunged about in the widest
mannex. 9th he had broken the harness
and escaped. Various conjectures
mftifr be made rs to the manner in
which the horses fears were aroused;
but | think 1t probable that all those
creatures which are liable to become
the prey Of c%arniyorous beasts have
been endowed by nature with an in
stinct which enables them to distinguish
their foes from other animals.

they get at least an hour or more OF

friends And ac~quaintances; while the
women suffer from the very quiet of
their home life, not to mention its nervo-
wearing anxieties, cares, and labors.
