VACUUM-CLEANING THE HORSE. 

 The modern housekeeper would be at a loss bow to pro- 

 ceed in keeping her home immaculate if sb e didn't have some 

 sort of a vacuum cleaner; and what is good for the house 

 is evidently good for the horse, for a vacuum cleaning ap- 

 paratus is being used by some of the Xew Yirk City depart- 

 ments for the grooming of the municipal steeds. The horse 

 is first curried vigorously, so a- to loosen Up the dust and 

 dirt and germs, and then the cleaner is applied ami all loose 

 and unnece sarj particles are carried off into the dust bag — 

 a great improvement on the old sx^tem of getting the dust 

 off oi one horse to simplj hav< it settle on the next — to say- 

 nothing of what went into the lungs of the groom.
