CURIOUS CITY INDUSTRIES.
Sian Dressmakers—Menders for Men

A Drawing Room Decorator.
A few years ago there was hardly a
man dressmaker in the city of*New York
or the whole United States. - At the
present time there an; scores of them in
the metropolis, and no large city of our
country is without one or more artists of
this description.
Of the newer industries for men, of a
unique kind, are the menders for bachel
ors, the men who go to the lodgings of
single gentlemen and keep their ward-
rol>c in repair. This is an anti-matri
monial trade, as it makes single men so
comfoi table in their belongings that they
do not repine over gloves and hosiery
that need repairs.
Certain trades are considered especially
intended for women, such as dealing in
false hair and cosmetics, and women like
to deal with women in such a business,
as it gives no shock to a woman’s vanity
tq. ask another of her sex to supply her
vrith those articles, but it would to ask
a man. If a man were to disguise him
self os a woman and visit our well-known
establishments for cosmetics, he would
bo infinitely amused at what he saw.
Women enter these places, plain, middle
aged and unattractive, and leave them
young, beautiful and fair to behold, in
short they have had a facial make* up at
tbe expense of five or sir dollars. The
hands and feet arc also made a study,
and women manicures and chiropodists
are numerous. This trade may be said
to be lively. We are fast imitating the
French women, who do not consider the
toilette perfect without the aid of this
profession.
Still another unique occupation for
women is to mend dolls, at very good
prices. “Dolls Mended Here,” is the
sign on a Sixth avenue establishment of
this kind.
For several years.hundreds of women,
many of them ladies bred and born, who
have become impecunious through the
exigencies of cruel misfortunes have taken
up the business of buying dress goods

nc Made Restitution.
Mr. Moody; who was preaching about
“Prayer,” told tho following story. Ho
said; “Man may pray liko a saint, but if
lie has a dollar in his pocket not acquired
honestly,* liis prayer is a slmm, and he
must make restitution if he expects ever
to have God hear his prayer. ’ There
upon a merchant from Dallas, Tex., rose
in the audience, and told a story that
emphasized this point. He had, lie
said, got dishonestly from men in his
business some $5*500, and had built a
house with the money*. Then Mr.
Moody happened along and preached
on this subject of restitution and the
merchant was present. “I heard yon,”
he said, pointing to Mr. Moody, “and I
went out into the street conscience
stricken. I went straight home and told
my wife that wo must sell that house,
and restore the money. And we did.
We held an auction, and our carpet, our
laces, our furniture all left us, and with
the proceeds we made restitution.” The

Planting Bananas in Florida.
The banana flourishes best in a very
moist, rich soil, but will not endure
standing water about the roots. The
best possible location for a banana patch
is on the bank sloping down to a lake or
“bayhead.” The “springy” nature of
the soil in such a location agrees per
fectly with the roots of the banana, pro
vided thtjy are not planted far enough
down to reach standing water. The
preparation of the land for bananas does
not necessarily involve thorough grub
bing of new land, as on rich hummock or
bayhead tracts, the simple cutting of the
trees and undergrowth and “budding”
the palmettoe3, is all that is necessaiy.
On rich new lands of this soil the plants
may be set immediately after the land is
cleared, with no other preparation. The
palmetto tops, and most of the brash and
logs, may by left upon the ground—cut
ting up brash in tho first place somewhat.
AU this rubbish will decay just about as
fast as the roots of the plants need it,
and much of it can l>c knocked to
pieces in a few months with an ordinary
noe. The plants may be set then in true
Honduras fashion, of which a friend
gives t the following modus operandi, in
the words of a native: “In do fuss

and burns allot dey bit we can; den we
cuts de banana sprouts into pieces wid

Meteoric Thunder.
The most rapid cannon shots, accord
ing to M. Him, scarcely reach a speed
of 2,000 feet per second, while meteor
ites penetrate' the air at the rate of
twenty-five or thirty miles, and even
more, per second.. With this Velocity
the air is at once raised to a temi
ture of 7,000 to 10,000 degrees, and
meteorite’s surface is torn away by at
mospheric friction and vaporized by the
heat. The sounds produced range*from
the whistling of a bullet to the crash and
roll of thunder. They are explained by
this author as resulting from the rash of
air to fill the gap in the rear rather than
from actual explosion, being analogous
to thunder after lightning.
