BIG C~OCKROACHES.
A New York Journalist Makes the
Acquaintance Of Some Flor
ida WhopperB.

Some parts OF Florida are infested
with an animal of extraordinary char
acter, which has about the same rcla-
ton to n cockroach that n whale bears
10 a hornpout. 1t is a gigantic but ex-
tremely lively creature, says the Dos
ton Transcript. which suddenly ap-
pears from almost anywhere and goes
racing like Il shot over anything that
comes in it's way. The strongest man
will jump like n girl at the appear
ance of it. 1T seems to be particular
ly aboundant up at Lakeland, where
the Massachusetts and New York SOL
diers are. Shortly after the arrival Of
those troops u New York journalist of
delicate sensibiIities went up t. Lake
land and found that he had to stay all
night. BY dint Of much persuasion he
obtained permission to put mp ut a
local tavern, whose proprietress
seemed to have q deeply-grounded OBJ
lection to entertaining any guest at
all. She gave him n candle and he went
upstairs. Presently he came rushing
down. in his shirt and trousers, bear
ing the candle, which had been ex-
tinguished by the rapidity of his flight.
On his face was IN expression of ter
rible alarm.
See here!" he said. there are cock
as big az rats running all over
my bed!"
The landlady sighed deeply. why"
she said. presently. you ain't afraid
OF them. are you? Why. they get into
our table drawers and eat M Our post
age stamps on us as fast as we get
'em!"
That was all the newspaper man
could get out OF the landlady on the
subject. He had to no back to his
room. and snt up wondering what sort
Of table drawers they could have in
Florida that these creatures could get
into them when he fell asleep of actual
exhaustion.

How Cavalry Horses are Prepared
For War.

A war horse is broken to be steady
under fire by tying ropes to his legs.
While the animal is down on the
ground the officer takes d pistol aud
fires it close to his ear. Then in
rapid order he fires the weapon over
his back, under his neck, between
his legs, anywhere that an opening
presents itself during the horses
futile struggles. Not until he sinks
back exhausted, all a trembIe, and
showing the whites Of his eyes, does
the pistol practice cease. After two
or three lessons Of this kline it is cor.
sidered safe to mount him with d
bride furnished with a curb bit.
Up to this time the horse has never
feIt ii curb. The light snaffle % still
retained, and the curb bride is only
given a gentle pressure AT first, just
enough to let him know that it is
there. Gradually the strength Of
the pull is increased, and with this
safeguard tie horse is taught to
stand fire from his riders pistol or
carbine.
In aarbine practice the horse must
be Thoroughly broken, as both
hands are required IN using this
weapon, whereas with the pistol the
rider may retain the bride with one
hand.
Then ome sabre practice, and
that is another trial to the horse.
Again is he thrown to the ground,
and when the bri Eht blade of the
sabre. with quick thrusts flashing be.
fore his eyes and cutting tho air in
close proximity to his ears, appears
to him, he is again terror-stricken.

Pra1sinE the Rough Rrdsrs.

The men composing Torrey's .regi-
ment OF cavalry are making ii good
name for themselves at Jacksonville.
Instead OF bandits. cntthroats, gamb-
lers and thieves the people find them
to he gentlemen in every way.
Through the kindness Of ATTORNEY
Brown the INDEPENDENT is permitted
to publish the following clipping,
from Il Jacksonville paper, sent to
him in IL letter by Lieutenant Hem
derson:
Captain NJ. L. Broward, Of Panama
Park. was in the city today telling
his acquaIntances what kind of men
constituted Torrey's Rough Riders
encamped near his Captain Brow
ardFs) house. Captain Broward says
he is confident that this command
consists Of more well-bred and we'll
behaved men than can he found in
any other n cavalry regiment in the
entire army. He says they pay for
what they get, never attempting to
take anything stealtllily or by force.
A Young mar keeping a stand near
the camp says he has credited the
Rough Riders u total amount Of ssn
within the past week or two, ard
when the soldiers we're paid off they
called for theis bills and settled them
promptly. The dealer and buyer
we're perfect strangers to each o'her.
This is better thrn some home folk
will d." who obtain credit.
The Rongh Riders are anxious to
have William Jennings Bryan's regi-
ment camp nea them, as nearly
every one of the oavalry1nen voted
for Bryan for President, and are
great admirers OF the "Bny Orator of
the Platte" This regiment is ex-
pected her: tonight They are nearly
all Nebraska farmers.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inAamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumb!ing sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
hammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
bearing will be destroyed forever;
nine ca 5es out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness Caused by
