TOLD BY THE HAND.

The combination Of large thumb
and broad palm shows courage to
the point Of rashness; with a long,
clear head line, absolute lack of fear,
and great calmness and decision in the
moment Of danger
A small thumb always indicates q
sentimental, impressionable nature, in
capable Of forming any very high aims
or OF executing work of any value.
The opinions of subjects are formed for
him, never by him, although he will
believe himself to have thought them
all out, and will quote them as his own.
A large hand is always better than
small one, says the November Ladies
Home Journal 1t indicates a person
Of some unusual powers. The posses
gor will be a good worker, principally
as to details; he will be careful not to
make many promises, but will keep
the few he makes to the letter, even at
loss to himself; he will be easily
offended, very quick to imagine sights
and not ready to forgive either real or
imagined offenses.
The possessor of a small hand will
attempt almost anything, rarely, how
ever, finishing anything he UNDER
takes; is easily satisfied, both with
himself and with the world in general;
is fond Of gayety and excitement;
makes and loses friends with the same
easiness; Is impressionable and in
flammable to high degree; is reli-
gious, but not deeply so; will make
promises and break them without COM
junction, and will be unable to bind
himself to details.
A thumb easily bent back shows eX-
travagance of thought, adaptability
and tendency to fad" The first, or
nailed, phalanx of the thumb repre-
sents will power; the second logic. II
the first is long and the second short
the subject will be self-willed and vio-
lent, having no restraint whatever
over his passions. If the second is
long and the first short, he will be
logical, calculating, and will rule every
action by reason, but the energy and
desire for action may be materially
decreased.
1t is the thumb that betrays the
weakness or strength of the whole
character. With weak thumb hand
that otherwise shows great possible
ties will be nerveless, unsuccessful and
remain undeveloped. With large.
strong thumb, whatever faults or vir-
tues the subject may have, he will
never be petty; he may be either good
or bad; he will never be ordinary. A
large thumb indicates one who is indie
pendent in both thought and action,
who is ready to take the consequences
of his own wrong-doing, who is sway
ed only by reason, and is only disgust
ed and hardened by display Of emo
ton.

The rehabilitation of the Baltimore
and Ohio South Western Railway will
begin as soon as the frost is out OF
the ground in the spring. Just before
the lire went into the hands of Re-
ceivers Harmon and Robinson large
quantity Of material was purchased.
This will be Immediately delivered
and used to the best advantage. Forty
thousand tons of 85-pound steel rails
have been purchased, and enough will
be on hand on March list to enable
the Receivers to begin laying it at
five different points on the line. Each
mile of track will be carefully rebal-
lasted and placed in first-class condi-
ton. 1t will take 10i, 900 pairs of con-
tinuous rail joints for the forty thou
sand tons Of rail. The two thousand
standard box cars and five hundred
steel coal cars recently ordered will be
delivered in March. Additional motive
power, in the shape of forty compound
freight engines, weighing 10000
pounds, and five ten-wheel compound
passenger engines, weighing $4,000
pounds, is now being built by the Bald
win Locomotive Works. 1t is expected
that by the time the property is re-
organized and becomes the southwest
ern division of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad that it will be in
physical condition fully equal to the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

TWO NEW RAPlD-FlRE GUNS.
One for Protection of Mine Fields and
the Other for the Navy.

NEW YORK, July ga new rapid-fire
gun, designed for the protection of the mine
fields, and novel semi-automatic six
FOUNDER for the navy, has been success
fully tested on the proving grounds of the
Briggs-Seabury Gun and Ammunition Com
pany. at Derby, Conn. These guns were
built for the army and navy, respectively,
under contracts awarded at the beginning
of the war with Spain, and will probably
play an important part in the plan and
scope OF national defense. The army gun
is a six-pounder of the Briggs type, and is
mounted on parapet carriage, which ad-
mits of the piece being fired with the same
rapidity as upon naval mount. While IT
can be easily transported from place to
piace-in fact, the new weapon is a COM
bination of a field and coast defense gun
its use will be principally to protect the
torpedoes in the harbors by throwing such
an overwhelming shower of shot and shell
that no small boat could 1--we within its zone
or fire. The gun and carriage rest upon a
parapet of the fort and are held rigidiy in
chOrage, which is worked under the center
OF the axle. Should 1t be desired to con-
centrate the fire on any particular point,
the anchorage is unlocked and the carriage
rolled away to any point of the beach. The
semi-automatic gun is also a six-pounder
and is the first completed of fifty-one for
Inc navy. II Is expected to work revolu-
ton in rapid-f1re guns. for with it a speed
or sixty shots per minute attained to-
day, which Is twice the record by the six
FOUNDER when worked by hand. Another
important feature is that 1t reduces the
crew Of a six-pounder from four to two
men, one OF whom throws in fixed ammuni-
ton as person throws coal into furnace
while the other fires as the breech block
closes automatically.

POPULIsTs WAKING UP.
Meeting at LOganspOrt That Gives
Democrats the Shivers.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LOGANSPORT, Ind, July S.-The Popu-
lists of Cass county held a well-attended
caucus in this city this afternoon. The
meeting was for the most part behind closed
doors, as it was for the purpose of con-
sidering ways and means to open a fall
campaign preliminary to the battle Of next
year. Enough was told by parties present
to warrant the statement that a most ag-
gressive fight will be made in this county
next year. A full ticket will be placed in
the field. and at least one township (Boone)
pledges itself 10 give II a majority vote as
well as elect their township ticket. Boone
is the banner Populist township of the
State. Other townships report that they are
regaining what they lost TO the Democrats
in 1886. g. VI. Waller, editor of the Populist
journal and secretary of the Peoples party
state committee, was present and gave a
very cheering report to the faithful. He
told them his party would poll larger vote
than ever. except the vote of 1884, and If
the Democrats waver they will run far
above that vote. All expressed themselves
as determined never again TO consent to
fusion Democrats do not relish the active
work of the Populist leaders. Without that
vote they see sure defeat in this county.
