Improvement of the Opera House.

The City Council has accepted the offer
of Wallace Hume, the Chicago architect.
to make the working drawings for the
improvement OF the Opera House. for $3.50.
The plan of MIR. Hume, we learn, contem-
plates tearing out the stage and private
boxes. and tearing down the gallery.
Then the plan provides for bringing the
stage out twelve feet further; for erecting
four dressing rooms on the stage; for put
ting up gallery only in the front part of
the hall, but which extends % feet over
the seats; for making the parquette much
smaller and consequently charging the
dress circle; for raising to proper height
all the seats so as to command view of
the stage. for running along the windows
outside of the hall broad balcony having
its terminus on a platform in the rear,
thus securing plenty of exit in case of
6re-persons having only to step out of
the window on to the balcony; for ladies'
retiring room and gentlemen s retiring
room in the front part of the hall; dome
in the center of the ceiling for ventilation,
and the filling OF the four corners of the
ceiling with heavy mouldings. The whole
estimated cost of the execution of the plan
is 81 500. The acoustics of the hall will
be perfect. IT Mr.. Hume's plan is adopted
he agrees to superintend the work for SO
day and expenses.

Pouring Oil Upon Troubled Waters,

The time is fast approaching when
the now rising generation will wonder
at the folly of having ever neglected
such means of salvation; for the
mass of evidence on this subject which
has recently accumulated has now COM
PEELED attention from the most skepti-
cal, and the experiments so success
fully carried out on the stormy coast
of Aberdeenshire, at the harbor of
Peterhead, have borne fruit far and
near.
Some of the fishers who had wit
messed them remembered them to good
purpose when trying to enter the har-
Dor at Stonehaven, and warned of
their danger by the white-crested
waves raging on the bar. They had
with them only little colza-oil and a
little paraffine for their lamps (uegeta-
bic and mineral ils)-so little that
most men would have deemed it mere
folly to cast such upon tempestuous
waves. But these men had profited
by their lesson. One man stood on
either bow, and just as the boat ap-
preached the raging surf, they slowly
poured out their offering to the waves,
which as if by magic, ceased to break,
and rolled on in harmless green pillows,
which carried the boat safe into port.
l have also just heard from Cornwall
that party of Cornish fishers who
CHANGED to be at Aberdeen at the time
of the experiments. and there wit
messed the stilling of the waves, re-
turned to their own granite-bound
coast with the conviction that they
had seen something which hereafter it |
may be well for them to practice.
Now, thanks to the same large |
hearted and energetic Scotchnan who
planned and brought into practical
working the oil-breakwater at Peter
head, the men of Kent can tell with
wonder of its application to their own
harbor Of Folkestone, and are eye-wit-
nesses of how quickly, on very stormy
day, few gallons of oil have Gained
the breaking waves, and made the
harbor smooth and safe The London
papers, in reporting on these expert
ments, have stated the general belief
that, by this simple use of oil, entrance
and egress to Folkestone Harbor NAV
henceforth be made absolutely secure
in the severest storms.-Popular Sci
e1.ce Monthly.

her purple mantle fringed with heavy
ssables, do not realize that the regal train
intentionally thrown over her feet hides
the manned, tortured limb as eifectually
as her sutferings are concealed under the
smile which she turns on the emperor at

standing little back on the lett, or on
the ladies bending low before her in

This is not the only country in the
world in which too many persons desire
to become lawyers. A French woman
has recently written an instructive little
work on Hungary, in which she says that
the entire country swarms with LAWYERS.
II Is the ambition of every poor man in
Hungary to educate one Of his sons for
the legal profession. An amusing story
is told OF the son of a small farmer resid.
ing in the neighborhood of Pesth. He
was set apart for the law at an early age,
and most of the earnings of his parents
brothers and sisters were spent on him. He
was sent in turn to the primary, gram.
mar and high school, and to college. On
graduating from the latter he was en-.
tered at a famous law school. He At.
tended the usual time necessary to com.
plete the course, but owing to lack of
ability or poor application he failed to
pass the qualifying examination. Not
daring to return home, after so much
money had been wasted on him, without
diploma, he forged one on paper made
IN imitation of heavy parchment His
father was not SO ignorant as not to
know that college diplomas were made
out on real parchment, and asked his son
to explain why his was not written on
that soft of material. The boy, who
knew that heavy parchment in Hungary
was made of dogskin, promptly stated
that young lawyers had become much
more plenty than dogs, that there were
not enough dogskins to go round, and
that the faculty of the law college had
done the best they could under the cir
cumstances; they had given him a
diploma written on paper that was as
thick as the dressed skin Of a dog and of
the same general appearance.
