Sian Dressmakers—Menders for Men r-Lady Lawyers and 3Ierchant»— 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 and sending them 0.

There is s watch in a Swiss museum only three-sixteenths of an inch in diameter inserted in the top of a pencil- case. Its little dial not only indicates hours, minutes and seconds, but also days of the month. It is a relic of the time when watches were inserted in snuff-boxes, shirt-studs and finger-rings. Some were fantastic, oval, octangular, cruciform, or in the shape of pearls, tu lips, etc. A young New Orleans woman is pre pared to go into the house decorating business, and this fall will offer her ser vices for graining woodwork, for wall and ceiling painting and for decorating fireplaces.

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 mAn told how he and his wife started again in life with nothing, and how he had prospered. His credit and his prosperity had never been so good as they were now.” studying and practising medicine. Lady journalists are so plentiful that every newspaper employs them, as women have a faculty in writing on certain topics not enjoyed by men, as their perceptions are keener and their imagination greater than men.

These charming artistic arrange ments of furniture of course attracted attention, as they were all splendid, fashionable mansions, and people began to talk about it and make inquiries. The result is that the lady has raised her price and has more than she can accomplish in this way. She has, too, added a branch to her former business. She purchases decorations for rooms that she thinks re quires them, and this industry will develop into a decorative industry. Competent persons will be hired by her to arrauge charming rooms while she will become a designer and decorator.—Jl&w A Civil Service Snag. “ I’ve got a cousin, White,” lie said, “who is one of the brightest fellows in the world.

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 place,” said he, “we chops downde 1 and burns allot dey bit we can; den we cuts de banana sprouts into pieces wid on ax and makes little holes wid a mat tock about so far apart (the distance illustrated by stretching out his long arms), den we chucks dem in, and away dey goes.”—American Agriculturet. rli who was one of the earliest Irish settlers among the green hills of Vermont, was very poor, and in order to sustain him self he worked out on the farms and in the forest cutting timber. “Once,” said Mr. Palmer, and his face lit up with interest at the recital of his tale, “once my grandfather stopped at the village store, where gathered, as they do now, all the farmers of the country round. Suddenly one of the farmer*, springing up, said that he had a piece of good woodland the other side of the river, ‘good, high land with a heavy growth an’ of about two hundred acres, an’ I’ll give that ar’ bit o’ laud to the feller that ’ll treat the crowd.’ Well,” continued Mr. Palmer, “somehow or other my grandfather managed to treat the crowd, and the next day set across the river to his newly acquired property.

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. HOT WEATHER SUITS.
