ectric motor-carriages throughout
the park. Two fine roadways are to be constructed, which are to meander
through the gardens, taking in all the buildings, ranges, animal
enclosures, and lakes and ponds.

One roadway is for vehicles going in one direction, and the other for
carriages going in the opposite way. By this means the visitors will be
able to see everything in the gardens without getting tired.

This must be a lesson taught by the World's Fair in Chicago. There you
had no choice between walking until you almost dropped from fatigue, or
being wheeled about (at ruinous expense) in an invalid-chair by a
stripling youth who would pant and perspire until stout and healthy
passengers felt in duty bound to get out and walk to save their
charioteer's further exertion.

INVENTION AND DISCOVERY.

CURRYCOMB AND BRUSH COMBINED.--This is such a fine article for the
comfort of our animal friends that we cannot refrain from telling our
young readers about it.

[Illustration: Currycomb]

Many of you may have curried a horse, or stood by during the process,
and watched him shrug and twitch with pleasure as the little iron teeth
scratched his skin, and have seen his coat grow glossy and satiny as the
brush was applied as soon as the currying was over.

Now this operation is most delightful to a horse; it is to him what
taking a bath is to us; and properly done it makes him feel fresh and
vigorous and quite happy to do his master's work.

If it is not well done he feels restless and dirty, and the pores of his
skin become clogged, and the good horse gets sick.

Currying a horse is quite hard work, and lazy grooms do not like to do
it, and so they have invented a means of shirking the brushing which is
very unkind to the horse.

Every owner wishes to see his animals with glossy, shining coats, and so
bad grooms, to save the trouble of currying and brushing, will rub the
horse over with a cloth, dipped in kerosene. The coat will shine
beautifully, but the poor horse is made most uncomfortable.

The currycomb and brush prevents this wicked practice, by making the
cleaning of the horse so easy that it is not worth the laziest man's
while to oil the horse instead of currying him.

As you will see by the illustration, the currycomb has a dandruff brush
attached to its outer edge. As the comb is withdrawn the brush passes
over the skin that has b
