CAST-OFF BABY CARRIAGES
Some Odd Uses to which the Dis
cardcd Pernmbulators
Are Put.

When the baby grows up or the per-
ambuIator becomes too shabby for
further exhibition in public, il does
not follow, by any means, that the lat
ter's period of usefulness is euded. In
fact, it has just graduated from one
season of utility into another, as may
be ascertaiped of the secondhand fur
Diture dealers on the east side, says
the New York Herald.
These merchants deal heavily in
cast-off baby buggies, " as they term
them, and from offering conveyance
to infants the vehicles pass ON to en-,
ploynfents az once multifarious and
euriously Inappropriate. The Italian
itinerant musicians purchase them to
trundle their small barrel organs
about the city; the Greek flower sellers
stock them with their fragrant wares
and push them in. every directions;
washerwomen, too, are good custom
ers and use the versatile perambula-
tor as means of conveying bundles
of linen to and from their customers
homes.
But the list would not be complete
unless the rowing candy merchants
were included. These vendors are COW
ering long stretches of city territory
every day, wheeling before them Sec
ond-hand perambulators on which
rest tiny showcases filed with confec-
tionery. So, too, the "nice-a-b anan"
men are, in instances, discardng the
heavy pushcarts for the light and cas-
fly moved baby carriage. which in time
bids fair to supplant all vehicles OF tho
hand power variety now in general
service.

to one of the party's first demands.
"See il in the splendid policy of pro-

made luminous by the fires from myr-
