Fadden of the Plant system is in Jack

President Conner OF the Central of Geor-
gia is in Macon.
That Mr.. Plant will eventually become
the purchaser of the Jacksonville, Tampa
and Key West is the general belief. The
road will be of more value to Mr.. PlaEs
than to anybody else, and it is believed
to be equally certain that he will buy it
at his own price. This is evinced by the
second postpOnement of the sale from May
to Nov. 2, at the request of the second
mortgage bondholders, who state that
they cannot find a purchaser at the up
set price of $3J0O00 fixed by the court.
The property is subject to a lien of 81 212,-
COO, on which two payments of interest
have been defaulted.

just clasp your hands quickly. Don't
stop to do it with intent. Clasp them.
How did you do it? If you arc a woman,
naturally you clasped them with the left
thumb outside the right, and the fingers
as interlnced were nearer you than the
right one; that is, beginning with the
digit nearest you, thumbs and fingers
would DO arranged in this order: Left
thumb, right thumb, left forehnger, mid
die right fore6nger, middle left finger,
middle right finger, third left finger, third
right finger, little left finger, little right
finger
If you are tho man who absolutely DOM
mates woman, then the order was pre-
cisely reversed Who're the order Of thumbs
and fingers read left, in describing the or
der Of the masculine fingers it would be
right.
IF the man should be classed under the
popular term of "henpecked, ,. he will
clasp his hands just as the woman does,
with tho left thumb nearest him and the
fingers interlaced in the Same order.
This funny fad arrived in Washington
in the brain Of an Indiana young man 48
hours ago, He brought it at some previ-
GUS date from Europe. In 4S hours sever
al hundreds of men and women have been
asked to clasp their hands. At Nine.
Yang's reception groups Of women stood
around clasping and unclasping their
hands and wondering why they were do
ing SC and what it meant. At other recep-
lions tho same sight was seen, until any
one who wasn't in the secret might have
imagined Washington hal been suddenly
struck with a devotional attitude.
No explanation comes with the simple
littlo test. Only it is said that in mar
ried couple the one who in clasping hands
and interlaclng fingers brings tho right
thumb nearest the body, with tho right
fingers correspondingly placed il relation
to the loft fingers, will be the dominant
member of that couple.

the reign III Elizabeth, and at a later pc

tells that the wells, whence the tract and

or. So called verbatim reports are fire.
quently such only by courtesy. The re-
porter has taken the liberty to edit tho
speakers words-greatly to tho speaker
and the readers advantage. In England,
some years ago, considerable talk was
made in favor Of printing parliamentary
speeches word for word as they were spo-
ken, and one paper The New Times, gave
the plan a trial. The result was good in
one respect-it afforded the people a sub
ject for mirth.
A writer in Scottish Nights says that
Lord Castlereagh exhibiSl himself as
standing PROSTATE at the foot Of males

back turned to himself
One of the Irish members, Sir Freder-
lex Flood, had been especially earnest in
favor Of verbatim reports, but he changed
his mind after seeing one Of his own rhe-
torlcal efforts printed without tho usual
editing 1t ran thus;
