BUSINESS NOTES.

Everything in Ocala nowadays
points 10 a busy spring and summer
season for the merchandise and 9th
er industries.
The Pittman Building in which is
located the furniture establishment
of Theus & Zachry, is being repair
ed within and without. 1t is being
treated To new coating of hard fin
ish plastering and the entire inter-
ior arrangements of the store are
being changed. The office has been
moved to the rear of the store rooms
and the entire front of the two large
rooms will be used for display pur-
poses. Messrs. Theus and Zachry
are both young men. though of con-
siderable business experience, and
their ideas as 10 the way business
should be conducted are all on mod
ern and up-to-date lines. They are
rapidly increasing their stock of fur
niture, and as push and hustle will
ever bring success We predict for
this firm gOodly share of the pa
trCnage of our people.

in such way as to only palliate the
symptoms, while the cold becomes more
deep-seated and the patient finally
awakens to the fact that she has a we'll
developed case OF catarrh.
By reason of their delicate structure
the lungs are frequently the seat of a
cold, especially if there Is the slightest
weakness of these organs. The treat
ment of catarrh Of the lungs is also
more difficult and discouraging than
catarrh of any other organ of the body.
1t would be wise, therefore, to guard
against it by every precaution possible.
Peruna has been found a most reliable
remedy for coughs, colds and catarrhal
diseases, by reason of the fact that 1T
goes at once TO the very seat of the
trouble.

LONDON YOUTHS WANT Boards.
Revulsion Against Clean shaVen Faces
Now Growing.

London.-Notwithst the eX-
ample of the American whisker takers
and their admirers here, it is contend
ed that a revulsiOn against a clean
shaven face is gradually growing
among fashionable LOndOneTs.
An observer claims to have noticed
a tendency on the part of the gilded
youth Of club land and the stock ex-
change to grow nice little curly
boards, which give them quite poeti-
cal appearance"
A fashionable hairdresser in Bond
street said boards are slowly but Ger.
tainly coming into favor among the
young men desiring to be fashionable.
They have found boards, especially
fair ones, harmonic excellentIy with a
sunburned skin. The most fashion
able cut is a close chopped beard part
ed in the middle which gives a distin-
guished appearance.
The Russians, and latterly some
Americans, affect it considerably.

Teaching Cavalry Horses to Swim.

kind of trick, while carefully confined
between to padded columns. You will
see gay dragons and hussars gallop-
ing, leaping hurdles, hitting the Turks
head, mounting and dismounting at
full speed. Or here will be recruits
trying to maintain their seat without
bride or stirrups, while the riding
master fiicks the horse with his whip,
causing him to send the exhausted
cavalryman high up in the air, as if
shot by a living catapult
Through no less than 112 separate
lessons does the French cavalryman
go before he is thought fit to get upon
his horse. Meanwhile, the chargers
education is also under way He is
taught to swim rivers, for the time
may come when all the bridges will
have been destroyed in an enemy's
country, and victory or defeat may de-
pend upon the swimming ability of the
cavalry horse.
The war horse Of to-day must be in
different to all sorts Of startling re-
ports, from the crack Of a service re-
volver to the dread roar of parked
artillery. Some of them take the flash
and report very quietly even at first,
and pass on to more severe trials.
Others are very timid and require much
patient and gentle treatment before
they are broken. At last, however, a
15-pOunder might be fired almost over
their back and they would hardly
finch
After this they are taught to face
fire, that is, to galIOp fearlessly up to
a line of infantry blazing away with
their rifles Curiously enough, many
of the horses that would face guns fir
ing black powder a few years back
will now shy and grow terrified at
fash and roar not accompanied by
smoke.
There is something pathetic about
the education of these faithful crea-
lures. The most intelligent among
them are selected for scouting work
and develop a sagacity almost human.
On the slightest whisper they will lie
down and entirely conceal their rider
or turn themselves into a living shield
for him as he lies PROSTATE behind,
with his carbine barrel resting upon
their flank
Years ago the mortality among
horses in actual warfare was terrible.
In thesFrancO-German conflict at least
5000 horses were killed, while in Ma
poleon's campaign beyond the Niemen
5000 out of $4,000 were either killed
outright in battle or else succumbed to
wounds and sickness.
Great attention, however, is paid
nowadays to wounded horses on the
battlefield, and the veterinary surgeons

whom, as for the ordinary soldiers,
there are ambulances and hospitals re-
plete with electrical appliances, oEer-
ating tables, and every device that
modern science can suggest.

New YoTk.-It rarely occurs to the
average person what an important part
the horse plays in the economy of war,
for without Well-trained, Trustworthy
horses even the magnificent cavalry
and artillery of France and Germany
would collapse, and the whole war ma.
chine come to full stop. Thus it it
little wonder that France spends ST.
100000 a year on her troop horses,
Germany $4,000, and Great Britain
100000.
The great military nations, too, main
tain state breeding establishments, as
well they may. seeing that on a war
footing imperial Germany is supposed
to put POLL horses on the battlefield,
France 202, ,040, Austria 105,1 1876, Great
Britain 100000, and Russia the enor-

BLIND KEY OPERATOR
TELEGRAPHER KEEPS FAMILY BY

lives "a Mamie, d --5le village on the
Louisville * Nas-,ile railroad, and
earns a living for l. s widowed mother
and three sisters. re is perhaps the
only blind telegraph operator in the
world, and can practice at the key
with as much deXterity as one not
minus his eyes. Mcdonald is 20
years old and has been a telegraph
operator about ten years. Not until
recently, though. has he been recog-
nized by the railroad and given per
manent employment He is now as
sistant operator at Maunie and also
has charge of the. Western Union
Telegraph company's Office.
Left without a father at The age OF
12, the blind lad was forced to assist
his mother in making a living. He
was greatly Handicapped by the loss
of his eyesight, and many neighbors
soughs to contribute to him through
charitable motives. But the lad would
have none of it, and worked at what
ever he could find to do. He sold
papers on the streets, blacked shoes
and ran errands.
He finally drifted to the depot, and
a strong attachment grew between
John W. Foster, agent at the little sta
ton, and the blind lad For hours the
boy would sit and listen at the busy
cIickety-click of the wire. One day
Foster asked him if he would like to
learn telegraphy The reply was ar-
firmative and the boy went to work.
In less than a month he could send,
and in less than half year he was
marvel at the key. Each day he would
COPY messages and take them home at
night There his sisters would teach
him their meaning. He soon became
proficient on the typewriter and could
take the fastest message that went
over the wire with ease.
Persisting in this unique schooling,
the boy learned the meaning of over
1000 words, knowing the spelling and
proper use of each. He in time learned
TO make change, sell tickets and weigh
baggage. He became an object of in
terest to railroad men, and the agent
at Maunie employed him to assist him
with his work.
One day when the agent was away
the fast st. Louis mail and express
flyer stopped at the station Superin-
tendent J. w. Logsdon stepped off and
ran into the depot He looked on in
wonder as the blind boy sold tickets,
made change and answered questions
as well apparently as one with eyes.
AS soon as Mr.. LOgsdOn returned
home he interested the railroad Of
ficials in the blind boy and Mcdonald
was accordingly sent to the state
blind school at Jacksonville. While
there he distinguished himself by
rapid progress. He remained but
few months and returned to work at
his post at Maunie.
Mcdonald is one Of the speediest
operators in the west. When the
Shawnetown food threatened to sub
merge the town last January he was
ordered to assist the Western Union
operator in handling press specials.
The sender has to read the copy to
Glib" as the railroad men call him,
and he gets it on the wire almost as
fast as it is read.
