SYDNEY PARKS.

Sydney Is noted for it's extensive park
system II has as good lungs as any
city OF Europe Moore Park contains
900 acres, Central Park 76S acres, and
there are also cricket grounds. the race
courses and the fair grounds. Quite a
space is given NJ 10 the geological gar
dens, to the botanical gardens. and
there are many little pleasure grounds
on the islands.
The most interesting park In Austria
liza is the Domain In Sydney, This con-
tans more than 100 acres, and II Is
right IN the heart Of the city. II has
magnificent trees, velyety lawns and
walks and drives OF every description,
The Domain Is accessible 10 all, there
are no signs 10 keep or the grass. and
little ones and grown-ups roll and stroll
upon Il.
FREE SPEECH FOR EVERY ONE.
Every Sunday afternoon the Domain
liz crowded and II then becomes the
parliament Of the people. Any one who
wishes to preach or pray has a right
to erect his pulpit on the grass and toot
for hearers No one questions his doc
trines, and he says what he peases.
There are at least score or more OF
such speakers on the Domain every
Sunday. each with his own crowd about
him. There are lightning calcuators
labor agitators and socialists preach
ers Of every doctrine and every creed
phrenologists and beggars, faith heal
ers and all other cranks,
The crowd Is good-natnred one

people In the majority. There We're

stopped for time In each crowd.
The FIRST was gathered about light
ming calculator who talked a blue streak
as his hand danced over a blackboard,
stopping only at intervals 10 sell books
showing YOU how TO learn the higher
mathematics In three lessons.
The next speaker was a temperance
orator he was denounclng the rich men
and officials Of the city and giving side
slaps at the saloons, and the next was
a socialist, who advocated taxing the
rich and general division Of property.
One Of the best drawing cards was a
negro, who was preaching the end Of
the world In marked Yankee accent
and another was a Salvation Army
band, led by sweet singing woman
with skin like baby,
THE GOOD SAMARITAN.
About fifty feet from this crowd !
saw a walking hospital overseen by
woman called the Good Samaritan"
The old lady had thirteen inyalids, each
OF whom, was einlcted with some terri

some lame, some halt and some blind.
They sat about In chairs on the grass
while the good Samaritan IN their midst
showed their sores and diseases to the
crowd and begged money for their sup

and upon this the charltably inclined |

ARTIFICIAL TEETH FOR sALf.
Leaving the Domain, I walked back
10 my hotel, noticing the queer signs |
by the way. One was "Lollies" II was |
1ver the door Of confectioner's store

,andles displayed. "Lollles' is the pop.
liar word 1ele for candles, and between

through the audience calling out.
Lollies, ladies. Lollles, gents Does

Another sign, OF which saw a half
Loren In one block, was, Artificial
