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.

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.
