HUGGING.
A California Conductor Who Wanted
to Open a Sohool to Teach This
Branch of Love-Makinr,

91d4ASA VI GONS-HAdh44Ss
San Francisco Post.l
Il say" inquired one of the
blonde conductors on the California
street road, as a Post attache
stepped on his car the other day,
"what would you fellows charge for
3 nice display lad" of new enter
prise?'
He was informed, and the nature
of the business asked.
"Wen, you see," said the conduc-
tor, bending over the dumpy seat
and sinking his voice to confden-
tial whisper, "you see, I've bout
made up my mind to open a hug
ging school after hours"
"a whatP' inquired the journalist.
"Why, an academy devoted to the
beautiful art of manual constric-
tion, as it were"
"Indeedr' said the passenger,
much amazed.
Yes, sir, there are professors to
teach all kinds of polite accom-
plishments. Why not hugging?
Real, good, scientific hugging is
one of the fine arts, my dear Sir"
us, eh?"
"Yes, sir. Now, why are conduc-
tors, as rule, so much more sue
cessful with the fair sex than other
men? Why is it, in fact, that they
make more 'mashes' than their fell
low men?"
Dunno"
"Why, simply on account of the
manner in which they help a lady
on and off a car. It's the way the
goods are handled, as a drummer
would say. A conductor who really
throws his whole soul into his bus
mess can get more real, square
toed, self-satisfed hugging out of a
lady's waist, between the lower car
step and the seat than the most ar
dent lover can in a dozen pIcnics.
Now, how do we manage it, eh?"
"Comes natural, mebbe," hazard
ed the pencil parer.
"No, sir. It's the result of prac-
tice, and it seems to me that a
school where the real scientific sort
of thing was taught would not only
mark a step forward in civilization,
but be regarded as a beneficent and
laborsaving institutionr'

eyes, labor-and gas saving, too.
A well trained hugger ought to
shorten the ordinary courtship of
commerce about six months. Moth
ing like it, L assure you"
"How does your method differ
from the"
"From the common one? All,
that's just it-that's my secret.
You couldn't expect me to give
away the business-for nothing
now could you? But, however, I'll
show you an illustration. You see
that lady waiting on the crossing?
Looks a little cross, don't She
tough customer that, eh?'
"Well, yes-rather," said the
newspaper man, critically observing
a middle aged lady with a toy terri
er in her arms, who was preparing
to get on. AS she did 50 the con
ductor urbanely passed one hand
behind the lady and gently inserted
two fingers of the left hand into
her arm-pit or thereabouts. At
this juncture, however, the research
es of science were curtailed by the
female bridling up and dealing the
official a sharp blow over
.he head with her parasol, after
which she Indignantly left the plat
form again.
''Hum-that was hardly a sue
,ess," said the journalist,
"Well-er-no. Very singular
often act that way.
Muster bore on too hard-boil
lnder the arm-er something"
And the conductor shook his head
houghtfully as he smoothed out
he dent in his cap.
The construction academy hadn't
opened to latest dates.

According to the Banner, there
are more grinning skeletons in
Nashville closets than one would
imagine, and these are hidden away
in the upper circles of society where
the unnatural and bestial vices Of
the vulgar are never supposed to
reach. That paper, alluding 10 a
baby left with the county Judge a
few days ago, TO be adopted by
some charitably inclined family,
says: at is a boy baby five weeks
old, and one OF the prettiest little
cherubs you could ever possibly
imagine. In other words, 'iL is too
sweet for anything, as the ladies
are wont TO put it. The names Of
its parents shall be nameless here
forever more, for were we to print
them Nashville society would be
shaken from center TO circumfer-
ence. 1t is true the wee little thing
was conceived in iniquity, born in
sin, but its father and mother arc
classed among the most respectable
Of our society people, which f0ct
will make IL less Objectionable TO
any family who may desire TO adopt
it. There are numerous cases Of
this sort brought TO the notice of
Judge Ferris, with whom the Sc
cret is as safe as with the guilty
parties themselves. All children
that are committed TO his care are
not from the low dens Of the city
or orphaned by the death OF re-
spectacle parents. On the con
trary, a large number Of them are
the result Of criminal intimacy be-
tween persons whom society little
dreams are so degraded"

American:Wheat wanted.

The best English authorities state
that Great Britain and France must
yet import from 100000 to
1I2,000,0O0 bushels of wheat, and
Belgium and Holland will require
100000 bushels, and other coun-
tries of Europe, excepting Russia,
will need supplies from America.
English wheat grown last year IS
said to be fit for neither food nor
feed. and English millers will hard
ly look at the homegrown grain
offered them.

he was passing the house the other

charged for quart Of milk, and
then put up her ear trumpet to

that he has to go three miles out of
