Concsrninu Baby Carriages.

The predecessor Of the present pre-
vaillng style Of baby carriage. thirty
or forty years ago. was built like n
chair; 10 had but two wheels. and the
body. which had folding carriage
top. was supported on straps attach
ed TO a wooden frame. This carriage
was drawn by means OF tongue In
front. attached to the under side
of the tongue. near the body OF the
carriage. was an iron foot or rest.
upon which the carriage was sup
ported when the tongue was not
held. The immediate successor Of
the old style chaine was the peran-
bulator. a baby carriage with three
wheels. two at the back and one at
the front. the perambuiator being
pushed instead OF drawn. The per-
ambulntor was succeeded by the
four-wheeied carriages now In COM
mon use.
In the course Of time baby carriage
brakes appeared, to prevent scci-
dents when the carriage was left un-
guarded. One OF the flrst was a slid
ing bar attached To the running part
Of the carriage. and having a fork
ed end which htted n spoke. thus
locking the wheel. There are now n
number Of styles OF brakes. and they
are In common use, being APPLIED TO
low-prices carriages as we'll as 10
the more expensive ones.

in great variety of styles. cheap
and costly. some Of them being sold
at prices remarkably low. 1t In n
