FELL FROM THE BRIDGE.
Gus Benson Drops Seventy-five Feet
ana IL Alive.

Gus Benson, unmarried, an emrloye on
the Robert street bridge, fell yesterday aft
ernoon from near the level OF the roadway
TO the water, distance of fully seventy
five feet. On his way down he struck sew
eral times on the timberS that make up the
false work, and. while this battered him
somewhat, it broke the fall so that he was
taken from the water alive and apparently
not fatally hurt. The accident occurred by
the upsetting of a plank on which he was
standing by the car on which timber is
hauled. When about half way TO the water
he struck heavily on a brace about in the
small of his back aud was sent end over end
to the water, just inside the crib. He struck
his head against timber. making a bad
and bloody cut near the left eye, but it was
thought that the hurt was not such as to
destroy the sight. He was reported as in
fair way to recover at an early hour. this
morning unless internal injuries should be
found later

Fannie b Ward, who visited the banana
plantations of Mexico, writes; Planters have
found it best to raise bananas with their
coffee, for their broad leaves not only afford
the dense shade which young coffee trees re-
quire, but the falling shards make an excel
lent fertilizer, while their roots absorb and
retain the moisture so much needed in this
thirsty soil Bananas grow so quickly as to
produce great punches Of fruit by the second
year, and small income may bederived from
them before the coffee begins to bear. They
ripen well after being gathered, shp early

box could be suspended in the same way,

the advantage of being lighter, hence more

use. With soft little mattrass and pillow
and light warm covers the baby can be
made much more comfortable, and less
liable to take cold than when kept in its
mothers bed Whenever the baby needs
attention its mother or nurse has only to
raise herself in bed to give it, and with an
outstretched hand she can adjust the covers
at any time without even raising herself in
bed. A ring can be fastened at the top
through which can be passed width OF

THE BANANA.

Whole shploads Of the mild, pleasant
banana come to all our seaports The trade
is increasing every year, and is becoming
something immense. The plant was originally
brought from the East Indies. and is a
variety of plaintain. In the most southerly
part of the United States it fourishes richly.
The islands about New Orleans are vast
banana plantations. In Florida there are
great fields of it, and it promises to become
an export from that state only second to
orang S. 1t grows abundantly also in Cen
trail America and the West Indies.
When allowed to grow at will the plant
becomes a tree sometimes forty feet high.
But it is not cultivated in this way for profit
The roots are p anted in rows. They soon
shoot sprout about four feet out of the
ground Then three or four more appear at
short intervals, until as many as eighte n
show above the ground from one root If
all these are let grow there will be no bi.
nanas. So all the sprouts except two or
three of the healthiest are destroyed. The
sprout will mature in ten 10 fourteen
months.
The first Whence of fruit is brilliant
purple flower. This soon gives place to in
Vulnerable little bananas, which rapidly
grow to maturity. The next sprout comes
i'm bearing from three to four weeks after
the first. and others follow at reyular in
tervals throughout the year. Each sprout
bears one bunch of bananas, and is cut down
when the fruit is harvested. The bananas
grow in rings about the stalk, - to
100, or even more upon one stalk. The
dealers cut bunch into clusters and half
rings for sale Such cluster contains half
a dozen TO fifteen different specimens, and is
called in the trade language a "hand'
of bananas That is because the long, slen-
der fruit looks somewhat like fingers
Bananas anciently were called "the food of
the wise men," because they were what the
famous and mysterious wise men of India
were supposed to live on.
The yellow bananas come mostly from the
coast of Costa Rica. With the exception of
a short season in midwinter the New York
market is continuously supplied with this
fruit.
The banana is a wonderfully productive
plant, it being estimated that land which
will produce 200 pounds OF potatoes will
produce A, 90 pounds OF bananas 1t is es
timated that land sufficient to grow wheat
enough to feed one man, when planted TO
bananas will feed twenty-five. Besides its
fruit the banana plant is made available in
other ways Its young leaves are cooked as
green's The OLD leaves are filed with an
acrid juice which stains white cloth an in
delibie black OF dark brown The fibres of
the leaves make a textile fabric Of great
beauty. known as q fine kind of grasscloth.
A plantation Will yield all the year by tim
ing the planting. although the crop is much
more abundant at one season

Kilt skirts are now made in wide scant
plaits to prevent them from being heavy
and to save the material A good plan is to
lay the plaits seven inches wide, and fold
them not quite three inches beyond the edge.
Each plat is then tackled to two or perhaps
three bands Of strong wide tape that pass
around the skirt on the wrong side; but this
lacking must not show on the outside, as the
plaits should hang easily, as il they were
loose folds merely pressed there. A hem four
inches deep, held by two or three rows of
stitching, is sufficient finish for the kilt skirts

used for more dressy fabrics, such as canvas,

Our Fate I'm the Stars.

The storms Of this year are remarkable
for their severity and destructiveness- Never
have there been recorded such billiards. as
were reported last winter, and such lorna
does and cyclones as have occurred in the
west and southwest this spring. In other
respects the weather of 1856 has been remark
able
What does it all meant Many years ago
Dr. r. I. Trail wrote a pamphlet, which
aimed to show that cyc.e was approach
ing during which the earth would be greatly
disturbed by celestial conditions. This
period he said would be in the present de-
cade AMI the acme from 1884 to 1883 There
were to be great earthquakes, volcanic erup-
tions, tornadoes, hurricanes. cyclones, dis
easts such as cholera, smallpox, dreadful
epidemics and remarkable thermal condi-
ton.
The doctor based his baleful predictions on
astrological theories and largely on the oc-
cultation Of the planets and the conjunction
and juxtaposiion of the stars. These p ISL
tions of the heavenly bodies are facts which
the astronomers foresaw years ago, but it
remained for DR.. Trail to weave such tales
Of horror from the facts as predicted in his
work in that subject
We begin to fear his predictions were
based on wel.founded theories. At least,
the unusual phenomena of the present year
and, in fact, OF the past three or four years
Justify such conclusions. 1t is to be hoped
that the periol of intensity is reached, and
that return to normal conditions is next in
