hugging and embracing.
Fine Distinctions Drawn by a Journal
istic Analyst.
It remained for an eloquent editor in the
CJiieago later-Otvnn to write a readable
chapter on hugging and embracing. He
says:
Hugging is a comparatively modern in
stitution. ' Our ancestors never hugged.
Thev calmly and demurely embraced.
There’s a big difference between a hug and
an embrace. The hug is an earnest, quick,
impetuous contraction of the muscles of the
linns and chest when the object to lie
bugged hes within the circle hounded by
the arms, while the chest is the goal or final
point of the hug. The warmth of the hug
is determined by the muscular con
traction. But the hug is not, as anato
mists assert, terminated when the object
is brought in contact with the chest. On
the contrary, the sweeping is liut tho shell
of the operation. The kernel is reached
wli si the space between the hugger and the
buggee is annihilated, and the hlado of a
knife could scarcely be inserted between
both surfaces. This is. perhaps, tire most
dangerous stage of the operation. A pound
_ na y, a few ounces —of extra pressure may
result, if not in the displacement of a rib, at
least in the bursting of a corset string, with
the almost inevitable destruction of bangs,
numlagues, waves, puffs and such like head
gear. The release, if not skillfully managed,
is attended with danger, and should be as
gradual as the elementary pressure.
Expression of anguish on the part of the
hugged may, as a rule, be regarded as hypo
critical, atid should have no effect, in in
ducing the hugger to diminish the pressure.
In like manner rill danger signals in regard
to the arrival of a third party on the scene
should be investigated by the party of the
li:part before receiving the attention the
genuine arrival of a parent or guardian
might command. Tins may be done by a
quick glance over the shoulder, and this
rapid change of tho direction of the head
may be accomplished by a little practice
without making any relaxation of pressure
necessary. If the warning should prove to
be without foundation the deceit may lie
punished by from two to three pounds of
additional pressure, but so gradual that
none of the ornaments of the person hugged
may suffer. These little accidents ruffle the
temper and embitter the memory of the
operation. The small affairs of the toilet
are not accomplished easily, and the female
mind is ruffled by the destruction of the
laborious embellishments of the morning
hour.
The embrace is merely the throwing out
and partial contraction of the arms, with
out any special attention to an objective
point. Near relatives should lie embraced
and not hugged. An especially young and
pretty aunt may be excepted, and cases are
known where an extremely juvenile and
good-looking step-mother has been the
occasion of the merging of the embrace into
the ling. But this is rarely done, particu
larly it the embracer is dependent on the
purse of the old man for the necessities as
well as the luxuries of life. To embrace a
mother-in-law is a hollow mockery, and
should be attempted only when some im
portant object has to be attained, and even
then it is hardly excusable.
ROBBED BY HIS OFFICE BOY.
Capture of tho Thief Who Stole Moses
Bensingsr’s Diamonds.
From the Chicago News.
A few months ago a package containing
SIO,OOO worth of diamonds and jewels was
stolen from the safe of Moses Bensinger.
Mr. Bensinger was greatly disturbed over
bis loss and questioned the clerks in his office
very closely, but obtained no satisfaction.
He then consulted a detective agency, but
the detectives wert) no more successful than
he had been and they were taken off. He
finally put a personal in the newspapers
offering tho thief $2,500 for the return of
the jewels, and on the following morning he
received word that he could have his
diamonds providing he would put up *5,000.
After some correspondence with the thief a
place of meeting was arranged for at Free
man Bros.' bank on LaSalle street, where
the exchange would be made.
The thief sent the diamonds by a messen
ger. who, however, said he had been in
structed not to take a check but demand the
cash. The boy would not tell who sent him
with the package, and Mr. Bensinger’s mes
senger left with the diamonds without put
ting up the cheek.
Mr. Bensinger received several telephone
messages demanding the $5,000 cash, and
threatening dire consequences in case the
money was not forthcoming. Last Wednes
day he received a telephone message from
the cheeky thief offering to settle for $2,500.
Mr. Bensinger agreed to settle, and directed
the stranger to call up the next day. It
was an easy matter to locate the telephone,
and a watch was kept to see if the thief
could not be captured.
Mr. Bensinger’s brother secreted himself
in a closet where he could see everybody
who entered the office whore the stranger’s
tel phone was located. What was his sur
prise the next day to recognize in the
stranger “ Webbie,” his brother’s office boy.
Wcbbie was accused of the robbery and
very coolly confessed it, at the same time
demanding the $5,000. He was paid a
week’s salary and told to skip, an invitation
that tho audacious rascal was slow in ac
cepting.
As the hoy’s parents are very respectable
Soi and and are not aware of his escapade,
r Bensinger refused to disclose his name.
The boy’s brother has taken him out of
town, where lie will bo given a chance to
reform. Mr. Bensinger refuses to prosecute
the boy, owing to his respectable parentage.
THE HALT VS. THE BLIND.
A Sightless and a Legless Man Settle a
Score of Long Standing.
From the Ch icago Herald.
At one end of the Madison street bridge
sits a blind man who plays a small hand or-
Kan, and with a placard upon his breast,
pathetically appeals to the pedestrian to
drop n nickel in the tin box by bis side. At
the other end'of the bridge there is a leg
less man who plays a similar instrument
and makes a little appeal for money. For
two weeks they occupied their respective
stands, braving all the inclemency of the
equinoctial storms without a murmur as to
their hard lot. The name of tho blind man
is Henry Babbit, while the cripple Is known
ss William Scovel. They formerly worked
side by side in a factory- in Lawrence, Mass.
Both fell in love with the same girl—they
were then ablebodiod men, and the rivalry
between them engendered a bitter enmity,
the girl, however, did not reciprocate the
affection of either, and they left-tlie mill to
seek now pastures. iScovel lost his legs in
a . railroad accident, while Babbit’s eye
stght was destroyed by disease. When they
. t Lawrence it was with tho understand
lng that blood would be spilled.
About a week ago Scovel found out that
ms trade was benig taken away from him
by a man nt tho other end if tho bridge,
t o add insult to injury, he also ascertained
mat the usurper of his nickels was none less
man his former rival and enemy, Babbit,
ihe old grudge broke out anew', but he was
inahle to gratify his revenge because he
was unablo to walk. Hoivevor, he sent
'■ord to Babbit that he would meet him in
ne Woody arena and contest with him the
t° the bridge and settle tho old antag
v,'. ls 5 1 as well, ft was a fair match —the
wd man against tho cripple—and Babbit
(• ?. nr . e accepted the proposition. No do
ite time for the meeting was fixed, but it
a |'! u ' e, ' sto od that the first, time they met
.nght would ensue. Yesterday morning
was favorable and the fight
har'i ' would have been a pretty one
of 1 , ot 'won for tho inopportune arrival
th„ H [" fF'cuinn. Ho found the cripple’s
v., , J l , ln t *“' Miwl man’s mouth ana the

P'Ji-ml the cripple.
i I y, ou apologize for stealing my girl?”
the blind man.
>i ill both of you come with moi” rudely
interrupted a policeman. The patrol wagon
was called, and the belligerents had an op
portunity to cool their ardor in a cell at the
armory.
Healing Mental Impres
sions.
From the Science.
Prof. Delboeuf, of Liege, is certainly the
most versatile of living investigators, when
one considers the great orginality and sug
gestiveness of all the work he does. Ancient
and modern language, logic, general physics
and physiology, and especially experimen
tal psychology, have received his attention
by turns. His latest contribution is to
therapeutics, and is a communicotion
made on June 4, to the Belgian Academy,
which will probably turn out to be of the
greatest theoretical as well as practical im
portance.
We all are familiar with accounts of the
wounds inflicted on themselves by Afrieau
dervishes; but tho statement which the nar
rators always make, that the wounds do not
inflame, or may even be quite healed in
twenty-four hours, probably often tends to
discredit their whole description in the
reader’s mind. Delboeuf’s observations now
make these stories wholly plausible. It is
well established, that in certain hypnotic
subjects a suggestion made during trance,
that to a part of their body a cautery or a
blister is applied, will produce, after due
lapse of time, an actual vesication of the
skin. The hallucinatory feeling of inflam
mation produces in these persons a genuine
inflammation. M. Delboeuf argued from
this that the feeling of pain, however, use
ful in other respects, must itself be an in
flammatory irritant, and went on to infer
that tho abolition of it from an actual
wound ought to accelerate its healing. He
immediately thought of some hypnotic sub
jects whom he had made anaesthetic, ami in
whom he had often admired the rapidity
with which the marks of punctures and
pinchings disappeared, and proceeded to
more systematic experiments, which, so far
as they go, seem to' verify his hypothesis
perfectly. On a young woman whom he
could make insensible by suggestion, he
marked two corresponding spots, one on
each arm, and made on each an identical
burn with the hot iron, announcing to the
patient that the one on the right should not
be felt. The suggestion took effect; and the
next day when the bandages were taken off
and the left arm presented a vesicied sore
with an inflammatory area three centime
ters in diameter, the right arm showed only
a clean scorch of the skin of the exact size
of the iron (8 millimeters diameter), with
out redness or inflammation. On another
subject similar results were obtained with
burns and blisters, the spots chosen being
near together on the same arm or on the
neck. The experiments are few in number,
and ought to be multiplied; but the reader
will immediately see the vista which they
open. Many of the results of the “mind
cure,” and the strange fact, so long known,
of opium controlling inflammations, are
explained by M.. Delboeut s principle. Bo
is tbe popular belief in “hardening” one’s
self by a little judicious indifference and
neglect of one’s condition. Local pain is
useful in leading us to protect the wounded
part from mechanical abrasion. Several
of M. Delboeufs experiments were incon
clusive. because the subjects, being insensi
ble at the seat of their injuries, allowed
them to get scraped, etc., but it has the
drawback of exciting reflex changes of nu
trition of an unfavorable kind. Anaesthe
tizing a wound prevent these reflex
changes. M. Delboeuf, suggesting to a very
sensitive subject that she should not feel a
severe dental operation, was assured by the
dentist that what he found most extraordin
ary in the whole performance was the ab
sence of the salivary secretion which would
usually have accompanied it.
It is to be hoped that others, with better
facilities for surgical experimentation than
a professor of classical literature like M.
Delboeuf. will follow the example he has so
happily set them.
