HORSE BEAUTY SHOP.
UNIQUE INSTITUTION RECENTLY
OPENED IN PHILADELPHIA.
Electric Massage, Pedicuring and
Tooth Bleaching Applied to Aris-
tocratic Steeds-Eashionable
Cats Taught.

A beauty parlor for horses has been eo-
tablished in Philadelphia. Here horses
have their coats electrically massaged,
their hoofs manicured and their teeth
flled and whitened; and here they learn
to stand properly and to move in all the
fashionable gaits.
Beauty and correct, graceful car
rage are qualities as essential to horses
as to women-they are qualities that in
crease horses value and insure him a
good homeland helefore this equine
beauty parlor OF Philadelphia, which
lacks no means that will aid horse in
his quest after better looks and a bet
ter department., is an institution both
necessary and beneficent.
Probably the most interesting and
novel operation to witness at the equine
beauty parlor is the electrical massag-
ing of horses coat. The electrical
massage has the same effect on the coat
of a horse rs on the scalp Of man; II
makes the hair thick and fine and glossy
and, where the skin has been rubbed
bare, it brings on new growth.
On tray of sterilized nickel a num-
Der of very bright, clean instruments
were spread-a horses manicure set
There were odd-shaped knives for
cleaning out the hoofs, files for smooth
ing of horny excrescences, polishing
files and brushes for applying oil and
powder.
"A good horse" said the operator
SHOULD have his hoofs manicured every
day. Then he won't 60 lame: his feet
won't get diseased; he will look well
and he will carry himself WELL"
The operator then described the proc
css of teaching horse certain ways OF
standing and certain gaits.

he said. '"The forelegs planted firmly

from Is to IS cents, and often more, per
cubic yard, but the cost of operating tho
dredgers, including an allowance for
wear and tear on machinery, is in
many OF the dredgers only four cents per
cubic yard, and in none Of them does
it exceed II per cent.
1t is only from rs to 30 feet to bed
rock, and this deposit is easily ex-
cavated. The dredgers at work at the
present time are taking out $4,000 to
10000 cubic yards of gravel daily.
Two classes of dredgers are used. The
more popular form consists Of an end
less chain of buckets These lift the
grave, on an inclined plane to the head
of the sluices and concentrating tables
attached to the dredger. The machin-
cry which operates the bucket belt also
pumps the water used in the concentra-
tor in separating the precious contents
from the drOss.
The principle in extracting the gold
flakes and minute nuggets is identical
with that adopted by the old placer min
er in the days of 40, when he washed
the gold in his cradle in some OF tho
very localities where the dredgers arc
now operating.
The other type Of dredger is the scoop
dredger. Attempts have been made to
work" these river beds with suction
dredgers, but these have not been sue
cessful, as the high specific gravity OF
the gold enables it to escape from tho
suction when the cutter breaks down the
nav dirt

Endorses this German opinion. He
thinks Japan will be confronted by 2OO,-
900 Russian troops from the very first.
"To-morrow it will be perhaps 100000,
and later on still more, If necessary"
This authority forms poor estimate OF
the fighting quality of the Japanese SOL
diers. He represents the Russian gen.
erals as confident of victory on land,
and he does not deem this confidence
unwarranted. Russian organs affect to
deem Japan contemplate as military
power. the following from the pen of
a Russian military expert, Mr.. P. Krass-
noff, in the Russ (St. Petersburg), be-
ing typical:
THE japanese cavalry sit very inse-
curely on their ill-saddled little steeds,
and the troops, when seen near at hand,
have: poor and badly drilled aspect.
And these people want to take the field
against US!
Their heads are full of the regula-
lions and the military manual. Tactic
ally, they are ready for anything. The
soldier have been told from their youth
ap that there is nothing grander than to
die for their fatherland. They are prac-
tised shots and capable in carrying out
orders given by strong commander.
They will be led by officers burning with
hatred of Russia. They will land on the
shore of the Asiatic continent, in an
almost boundless expanse of territory,
and seek a battle with the enemy-all
in strict conformity to rule and instruc-
tion, pedantically, almost mechanically.
And they will be confronted by an
army into whose flesh and blood has
been worn the military precept of Peter
the Great-sas justification of his course,
an officer may certainly allege that he
has done this or that in accordance with
military regulations, but that will not
be a discharge of his responsibility be-
cause, while military regulations are
written down, time and circumstances
are not written down.
"The Japanese understand war as a
science. The Russians understand it as
an art"

as Unanimous.

Events in the far east have not modi-
fed the view, repeatedly set forth in
London organs, that a decisive battle
on land between the forces Of Russia
and those of Japan will not take place
for the present. ''The naval question
must first be. settled as the London
Times put is, although the London
Standard remembers that "war is full OF
surprises" What we are now witness
ing, according to the strategists whose
anonymous views find their way into
the Mail and the News of London, is a
series of skirmishes on land, "although
the sea fighting must be hot AS a
means Of forecasting the fate of the
first great land battle, English newspa-
pers are calculating the size of the Rus
sian army available on the spot. The
London Times feels certain that 150,-
900 men are all that can be accounted
for east of Lake Baikal, and it has
formed a very erroneous impression OF
the facts if Russia can strengthen her
army much beyond the figure given ow-
ing to the condition of the Siberian rail-
way. But the well-edited military or
gan, the Militar Wochen blatt (Berlin)
supposed to be an exponent of the opin-
ions of the German general staff, pre-
sets the military situation in different
light. It calculates that Russia has
231, $50 available troops in the far east,
and that the famous and much-discussed
railway can afford them adequate trans
portation. r. These forces. are divided
by the military organ into two classes
one ready for the field at any mo-
ment and amounting to 174,950 men,
and the other constituting reserve for
garrison and general guard purposes.
Officers as we'll as rank and file are rep
resented as in good condition.
AS regards Japan, the difference be-
tween English opinion and continental
opinion is not less marked; for, while
the London organs already named con-
slider the mikado able to send out as an
advance army at least 100000 men and
to supplement the force with perhaps
$50 900 troops in addition,> the Militar

GOOD ROADS AGITATION
OWNERS OF AUTOIOB I Il e S
WRITE TO CONGRESSMEN-
BILL PROBABLY WON'T PASS.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
- Washington, Feb. 12.-It is believed
that practically every automobile dealer
and owner in the twin cities has sent
letters to the northwestern members of
congress urging favorable action on one of
the pending good roads bills This is in
over the entire country and which is be-
ing directed by large automobile manu-
facturers in. eastern states.
Members of the Minnesota delegation
recognize. the utter impossibility of Sc
curing legislation at this session of con-
gress, and that grave difficulties will be
encountered whenever the subject is
brought before congress. The pending
bill authorizes the expenditure Of $24.
900, 900 in three equal annual installments
for the building of good roads, those sums
to be duplicated by state and county aid
The Minnesota delegation believes that
the time is coming when some such leg
islation will be enacted, but it very
much fears that it will not be along the
line of existing bills.
A proposition which is being urged, and
which must be met when the time to
consider the bill arrives, looks Ito the
placing of a tax Of $25 on every automo-
bile which enters interstate business. This
tax would cover every machine manu-
featured IN one state and shipped into
another state for sale. or which, in its
regular use, crosses state lines. The
theory Of this tax will be that the people
who more than all others would benef
from good roads and who are at the FORE
front. Of the present agitation for fedora
aid ought themselves to bear some pro
portion Of the expense of road building
The money to be derived from such ia,
would, of course, be placed to the credi
| of the good roads fund.
