There's beauty in the sunsets glow,
And in the azure sky,
There's grandeur in the vastly deep,
And in the mountains high;
There's terror in the tempest black,
And in the lightning's flash;
There's wonder in the armament,
And mystery in the hash.

The champion lady tennis player of New
Zealand is Miss Hilda Hitchings. Her
performances arc remarkable in view OF
the fact THAI she was born with only one
arm. With tho Loft hand she holds the
racket with throo fingers and the ball
with the remaining finger and thumb. A
slight toss OF tho bail, followed by a smart,
twisty tap with the racket, results in a
fast, low service which her opponents have
found anything but oasy To take.

talk he made IL very plain that in his view
the railway postal clerk il n mortal TO be
envied-ono who has little to do, has chance
to see the sights and save money. IL this par
ticular young man ever gets into the service.
the opinion is ventured that in less than a
month he will wish himself we'll out Of it,
Long runs on iotlng cars. continuous night
work and frequent examinations are not likely
10 make the position tho sinecure ho now
thinks IL. Moreover, he will not earn as much
money as he is doing now by nearly $50 a
year,so that IL decent loeit through hts
saving scheme would prosper TO any very
large extent. And there is another matter be
hasn't taken into consideration, and that il
the danger which the postal clerk runs. For
instance, during the year ending June 30. 1895.
there were IG accidents in the railway postal
service, in which seven clerks were killed and
rs injured II this would.bs servant of Uncle
Sam is wise, he Will stick TO his trade and SIS

At last there came change. Mr. Henry r.

days. and when thus appareled. Henry has
few equals for push and progress. lie started
In to have the fake sales suppressed. and
mainly through his efforts a bill was passed
by the Legislature in 1880. which has pretty
thoroughly driven them out, and under which
those that are held are pretty well regulated.
This new law makes it obligatory on the pro-
moter Of one Of these sales to first obtain a
State license from the General Treasurer. To
do this. he must give ali the facts connected
with the fire or bankruptcy. as the may
be, which has thrown this stock on the mar
ket. This Is TO enable the treasurer to Judge
whether or not the sale is a legitimate one, or
of the fake character. In addition TO this
state license, another must be obtained from
the city or town where the itinerant vender
Is 10 locate. while a deposit OF $500 must be
made with the treasurer, to lie retained for a
period of six months. the license running only
? for three months. This deposit is retained
after the close of tne sale for tho purpose Of
giving those who believe they wers unfairly
dealt with, or who have claims for rent, etc, ,
something substantial TO levy upon. The law
has thus far worked admirably, and since its
enactment fake sales have been unknown in
Providence.

Restaurant Keepers and
r-. the Lunch Carts.
Former Growing at Freedom
Allowed the Latter.
A Man Who Thinks Railway Postal
Clerks Berth a Sinecure.

The time is not far distant when the city
fathers will have TO take up the question OF
the lunch carts and settle IL once and for ALL
The keepers Of eating saloons and restaurants
are grumbling at the freedom allowed per-
ambulating lunch dispensaries. and they are
likely 10 make themselves heard at the city
hall before many moons have passed Nor do
they complain without good reason. They
are under heavy expenses for rent. snd be-
sides must pay a license fee. Moreover.
unless they have tavern license they must
close their places at ~ o'clock Mt night. and
are permitted TO open them only during n
certain number of hours on sunday. The
lunch cart man escapes all this Ho pays no
rent. nor does he have to take out a license.
while there does not appear 20 be an: limit
placed upon the hours when he may do busi-
ness. All hours of the day and night he Is
free 20 carry on his trade, and probably his
brief surcease from the furnishing of frank
furts Is tho result OF cessation Of patronage,
and the demands which Nature makes for rest.
1t has long been subject OF wonder that
some regulation has not been placed upon the
lunch cart business, but tho restaurant
keepers. who are now growing because Of
what they claim is unfair competition. should
learn, il they have not already done 40, that
the city fathers arc slow TO move in such
matters, and that redress for injustice can
only be obtained by persistent petitioning.

Providence, as we'll as the other cities and
towns in the state, has at last got rid OF one
positive injury TO established busiuess-the
fire sale. the bankrupt sale. and Others Of that
doubtful sort. Formerly this promoters OF
these fake sales reaped rich harvest in this
city. They came to town. hired an unoccu-
pied store ON tho principal thoroughfare. and
by lurid signs announcing unheard of bar
gains. the employment OF the sandwich man
ana tho distribution Of dodgers, succeeded in
ashort time in gottinggid OF big pile of
goods and out of the CITY before the unwary
ones who had bought of them discovered how
badly they had been deluded. IL was all very
fine for the promoters, but for those who had
parted with good money for poor clothing
the case was different.
