' The editor of a Detroit paper feels very strongly, in this -matter,* or he would not indulge in langiiage like the following :— 'The baby carriage, imade its appearance yesterday for - the - season of 1881. It" was occupied by the usuiil baby, and it was propelled ;by tlie woman that looks into all the store windows as she goes along. A -repbrter who followed' the carriage for ad hour, found that it collided, with five womeD, ten men, six kerb blocks, four •boxes, ; and a ■ street' car, and every collision only made the women more determined to occupy two-thirds of the side«walk, if it ; took all the:aummer. She succeeded. They all succeed. A woman pushing a baby carriage in : front of her on the side walk is as dangerous as seven roller skaters and fpur velocipede riders combined. She can't kill a full grown man qiiite as promptly as a runaway team, but she cari knock his shins to pieces, tumble him.over^ upset all bis-good resolutidns r f aiid leave him flint-hearted .and e^ikinirided., jQywti>oQssQ ft WsfM>f* ' ' 7 ■ v
