HOW WE mv KELP COOL. siSome Seasonable ISintw for the Benefit

of Heated Humanity.aFrom the Philadelphia Times.

The temperature of our bodies, which nor- C(mally is about ninety-eight and one-halfdegrees. ),is modified markedly by our clothing, our food aand drink, our habits, whether active or other- |jwise, and by the temperature of the place in \\which we may happen to be. The point just i,named is one of the most important, yet little i,need l>e said of it for the reason that now this is itpractically beyond our control. Excess of Pmoisture in the air is «aid to and doubtless does M

make a high temperature more distressing, be- ^cause it causes the water that exudes from our vbodies in the form of sweat to remain upon the asurface of the body, a circumstance that greatly Kl

j retards the elimination of heat. Gentle cur-rents ofcool air are agreeable and refreshing,because they hasten the evaporation from the dsurface. j tlThe influence of muscular activity on the body a

temperature is well known and though we can-not all control our movements at all times, yet ('by experience all will find that "go slow" is a Pvery good rule to go by in hot weather.that is, Hwhen the temperature of the air gets up amongthe nineties, previous to which none should n

complain. iiThe food and drink most suitable for summer 11

n«e can l>e quickly named. I sc a minimumamount of fat and heated food, but take care to t]use the most nutritious and digestible sub-| estances that can be commanded. Heated foods sare best used at breakfast time. Perfectly maturefruits used raw or fruit not quite ripe 11cooked. Cold boiled ham. tongue or beef, good 11bread and butter and good cold milk make asuitable summer lunch. The milk may at times sbe substituted by cold lemonade. The twoshould, however, in no case be used together. ^The clothing best adapted to hot weather wear cis loose garments of woolen fabrics, notably y'flannel. This for the reason that the materialJust named aids the evaporation from the sur- drace of the body before referred to. Wipin" the erace, hands and arms with a cloth wet with"cool 11wafer, followed by drying these surfaces gently. hIs at times very grateful. o

siThe and Tight l acing. JjClara Bt-lle in Cincinnati Eniiuirer. P(

A girl who has lust returned from London 11tells me that. In the Health Exhibition there. hone of the exhibits was meant to depict thehorrors of tight lacing. a waxen figure wassubjected, for the purpose of divulging the n

rsecrets of the ladies' torture chamber. To a com- ^

pression to the girth which a woman may. with Tproper sell-respect, measure around the waist. ^The sufferings ot the dummy, inaudible save for vthe creaking of the machinery, which in the tforcible compression of the waist, might well nbe mistaken for groans, were quite terrible In vtheir realism, but the female spectators laughed oinstead of being instructed. The fact is^that bthe old curmudgeons who take corsets as a text ufor sermons against us are left very far be- tj hind. Injuriously tight squeezing of the twaist is rare, indeed, nowadays. '-The! scoming man and woman," says i»io e

s Lewis, "will be just as large at the waist as s> at any other part of the body." What an old iiI fool! I>:d he ever see a Fiji Island woman? I s» have. She had never been compressed by ro ti much as a calico wrapper, and yet her waist tr had a goodly taper to it. Pretty soon Lewis 1- w ill be demanding legs as big at the ankles as 11 at the calves. And when that sameness of out- 1

line is produced by bigness of ankle rather than i- sinallne-s of calf. I hope he will be satisfied, for 1f surely the owner won't.s (

The tropical heat had beea gradually movingowards Washington, and now had apparently:ome to stay. That decided the lamlly to delayio longer their flight to the sea breezes)f Nantucket that are only tempered bylie heat of the mainland. And aftertastily packing, the eventful morning»me when armed and equipped with shawlstraps, umbrellas, satchels, books, papers,unches, banjo, tennis rackets, and a palmeaf fan. the train from Washington to Newfork was laden with the precious freight.The passengers gazed at each other in agony

is the heat of the way stations was wafted in,md there was scarcely a smile when, on approachinga tunnel, a small child remarked wehad better put down the windows, as we were

join;; through a sewer." Making connectioni\itti the tall Hiver boat by the Brooklyn annex,hen securing the much-coveted staterooms thatlad l>een telegraphed for, ana watching thepassengers that arrived after the starting of thejoat take a flying leap through the air and landsafely in the arms of the crew and others of thesterner and stronger sex who kindly assisted,* as the occupation of the hour. After supperhere was a concert, and the sweet strains otBohemian (J:rl,' "Some I>ay," waltzes andecollections ot minstrelsy were wafted throughhe saloons. " Home, Sweet Home." did notseem to touch the chord that it should have."Tired nature's sweet restorer" was rudely>anished by the sounding of gongs and pound*ngon stateroom doors, when Fall Kiver was

lighted in the morning. Then the train to New Iieulord. and the disappointing announcement,ao early boat to Nantucket." Breakfast at {lie Parker house solaced in some measure, andt was decided to take the ten o'clock boat furilartha's Vineyard, that part of the waitinglours might be spent in exploring Cottage City.W lisle In the parlor waiting lor the time of the>oat s leaving we were entertained by the appaition,seemingly from the dim past, of

miss 8earchino, a book agent.Her costume was antique, but not more aniquethan unique.the bonnet, oh. that bonnet!

>l ick straw, that had bravely, with the rest ofler costume, withstood the summer suns andv intry winds of ages. The feathers had lostheir original vivacity, but still clung to existnce.Thojtoictrg, as many liued as the rainbow,iad consented to droop. The strings were theiride of age. On the right side, under the earhere were loops, and under the chin was a bowrom whence flapped streamers. The wholecosurnehad the effect of a battered umbrella, oruccession of umbrella covers.the skirt, witheveral ruilles, then the overdress, which wasipo.ogized for not matching the rest of the suitt was adorned with fringe and folds. The blackilk sacque fit quick at the neck, and proceededortli as the upper and lower skirts. The sleevesrere not in the latest agony of tightness, andhe ruflles and frills about the hands added tohe artistic ettect. The gloves of worsted hadlack silk folds. On her arm was a black ba"ii which were books, for which she was agent.n 'i,we wlslu'(1 to buy any she was willing to

ell them. Her face was ornamented withplotches, and was dried and pipkin-like; buter eyes! they were keen and sharp as buttons,he beard straggling from her chin was hoary,ler umbrella she said she must not lose, as shead had it lor thirty years, but immediatelytterwards she told how she was always gettingnine one's else and they were getting hers"ilas, for the latter! i

EVEliYTHING BOSTONKSE.Her good clothes siie left in Boston with her jindlady, who was a very good, clever woman,s she had been brought up in Boston, but not 'tie first people. Then she told of her visits toicw port, w here she iiad been invited to tea. !nd had iier dollar books bought from her. But i

nee the humor on her face w as so bad thev Iid not want iier to come to the table, and she '

ad her meals uj .-tairs; but no wonder, for thev twas genteel Bo.-ton folks." She came into the I°tei parlor to inquire for a jffiysiclan from Bos- I>n, who used electricity, and she had heard toiild be there tw o days, when he would re- f

L'iye visits without pay to examine cases. Such ichaiactei! had Dickens only been there dur-ig the conversation all had been complete.hi was from Boston, and hud the right brin"- '

As the doctor had not arrived, and would not ! te there for a day or so. she would talk with inml tell how the rich Mrs. Tud<»r got a husband. \lie said the people at her boarding-house had'ot been brought up in Boston, and did not [now about things. That was the way they had ;i»de the mistake that morning at breakfast of! '

filing her the doctor would be there tiiat day. '

When she reached the island, a small boy 1sked if she would not ride up to his aunt's with 1

irn. as the said aunt had promised him ten 1

t*nts for every passenger he brought to her ]ouse. She was ready to do so, and was greeted 1t the door by the aunt, who gave her theirgest spare room in the house, and only made ]er pay one dollar a day, because she had on !er nice traveling suit then; !>ut that boy kept jringing up loads, and eight girls had to sleep ii a row on the parlor floor. Then a bride and iroom came. There was a tap at her door, irhlch she did not notice; then another, and she <emanded to know what was wanted The 1

unt merely desired to know if she wouid not iacate her room for the bride and groom beftUHCthere were two of them. ' Not I " 'sayslie; " possession is nine pints of the law' " andsat like a queen." The next day she returned »a the mainland. Boarding-house keepers hadeen very kind to her, and she boarded for two 1oilars a week, where others paid nine. But itiey must not know it. She was from Boston tnd had been brought up right. Where the re- iuced rates were given, she supplied the chil- *ren with reading. Poor children! The last <hysician she had tried had saved her life. She tnid he supplied her with medicines free; for. ]ud he. Miss Searching, your name and testi- ilonsal aie worth Ave hundred dollars a year to tle. being from Boston."

he nodded assent. "What church did we at- f'nd.' Presbyterian. That was the right church. |lie was an Orthodox, but had been In all ilurches. The greatest disgust was for thelethodist church. "No one but low kind of r>lks went to that," she thought. At least theyidn t in Boston. There were six other board- Jrs where she boarded, counting the woman's iusband, and she called him a boarder because iis wife was the older, and he had what the jthen* had not.-*'dainty bits of cheese and ^traw boi ries. Now in Boston they had straw- ierries for tea every evening, but not here, i'Ii. if she only had the February number of ioine magazine. She might send It to Wash- ilgton. If we would let her, next fall, but any- low she w ould tellhow the rich mrs. tudor got a husband.Mrs. Tudor was the daughter of a very rich tlan, who died. leaving her uncle guardian, jrith charge of the property until her marriage! ]he uncle kept her a prisoner in her own house, iTo one was permitted to see her but the ser- 1ant, who carried the meals. He kept her (

ivo years In this way, when she succeeded in !inking her escape by bribing the servant. She !rent down to the dock, and a>ked the captain ]f the ship lying there if he would marry her iut he told her to go off, as lie was a married t'an. Then she went to the mate, who was sit- 1ing near.he was also married. In despera- 1Ion she went to a common sailor, who con- tented. She bade him follow, saying she would ]xplain later. She carried him to the barber '

hoemaker. clothier, hatter, and last to the fiiinister. w here they were married. After this (he said, "Now, w e will go home." She went <o the house, and sent for her uncle to come to llie parlor. She introduced her husband as Mrudor and herself as Mrs. Tudor, and then gave lier uncle twenty-four hours to leave the slouse. This was a true storv, for Miss Search- Ing knew "all the parties," and "they was fuglily respectable people of Boston." i1 lie time at Martha's Vineyard was spent In i

The young couple'searly struggles were a series of hardships, andafter many vicissitudes Pl&kerton went to Chicago,where he engaged in the cooper trade.He afterward moved to the neighborhood ofDundee, 111., where he purchased a small farm.This was, as near as can be ascertained, about1847. Pinkerton was then about iS8 years ofage. and it was then that lie made his first detectiveventures as an amateur. Horse thieveswere on the rampage in those days, and AllanPinkerton, after having been successful Inhunting down a rascal who had stolen one ofhis horses, was employed by neighbors, uutil hisreputation as a detective reached the adjoiningcounties.

INVITED TO CHICAGO.What gained him a reputation all over the

state, and even farther, Avas in exactly the sameline. At that time there was very little readymoney in the country districts of tho northwest,and this scarcity was partially supplied by thechecks of the Milwaukee Fire and Marine InsuranceCompany (now Mitchell's bank), which iwere crude and easily imitated. Pinkerton sufferedby theiorgeries.and lie succeeded in huntingdown one of the forgers.John Gray, a Vermontman. The merchants of the country employedhim to run down the other forgers, and ]Pinkerton succeeded in that. He was then in-vited to Chicago, followed the invitation, andwas made deputy sheriff of Cook county. Thiswas in 1849, and in the same year Pinkerton re- iceived the appointment as special agent ot the ]Treasury under Secretary Guthrie. In this, and (also in the position of mail agent, he distin- ,uuished himself by numerous brilliant pieces ofdetective work.

(The first established agency was begun in ,Chicago in 1853. Beginning with a handt'ui ot (trusted empiojes, Allan Pinkerton steadily increasedhis business until there are now "Pink- ,erton agencies" in the principal cities of theUnion, employing thousands of men and womenin every state of the Union. Men of good char-ncrer are alone employed. The various agenciesat present employ about two hundred first-classdetectives, men and women, whose pay rangesfrom 55 a day to £.j,(KK) per year.

ESCORTING LINCOLN TO WASHINGTON.The feat which gave Allan Pinkerton a <

national reputation was to conduct AbrahamLincoln safely through Baltimore to the inaugurationin Washington. Pinkerton knew of lthe plot to assassinate the President-elect inBaltimore, which was then completely in thehands of a rebel mob. Riotous scenes and ,attacks upon Federal troops were the order ot ,the day. It was said, though the story was jspeedily denied, that Pinkerton accomplishedhis hazardous task with the aid of one of his jfemale operatives, who occupied the same seatin the car as the President, who wore a bonnetwith a thick veil which completely concealed his jwell-known features. A shawl thrown over thekuees gave '"Old Abe" the appearance of anelderly lady, as whose companion posed Pinker- iton's lady detective. Tiie latter is buried in a ^Chicago cemetery, where a space is reserved ,for the l'inkertons and their employes. Thegraves are decorated once a year. Allan Pinker- '

ton. although to all outward appearances a cold cmid unsympathetic man, never forgot a friend or ithose who served him faithfully. I ^When the war broke out President Lincoln :sent for Mr. Pinkerton to come to Washington, ,md authorized lum to organize the secret ser- ^t'ice division of the army, the first government j[>olice force ever organized in this country. This fwas done with .Mr. Pinkerton at the head." under ,lie nom de plume of K.J. Alien. In this capacity .

le served the country during the war. leavinglis Chicago office in the charge of capable peo- file, and at the close of the war went back to *;ake charge himself.gHOMK HIG ROBBERIES. ,His first important case on resuming his for- I

ner duties was the robbery of the Adams ex- tires3 company, near Baltimore, by throwing %he safes from the train while in motion and Jyetting away with over £ 100.000. This case, j tike other cases of the same nature, was a sue- c:es». the thieves. «ix in number, being arrested. ) 'ried and convicted and the money all recovered, t>ome time later came the robbery of the Harn- r!<*n express company, in Baltimore, by which £20,000was secured; the thieves in this case Ivere also convicted and the money recovered. ''rhe next important case was the robbery of the oTarbondale bank, at Carbondale, Pa.. In whichhe thieves were arrested and the money,£40.000.ecovered. Following these came the robbery 1>f the Adams express company on the Newk'ork and New Haven railroad, on January G, ^i80»>. The thieves, six in number, including theirakeman, entered the express car by wrench- a

ng off the lock and bursting the safe. They se- I e:ured about 470.000 from this exploit. Through phe efforts of Mr. Pinkerton and Mr. Frank tift'arner(the latter being at the time superin- j,;endent of the New York office), the thieves ^were convicted and the money all recovered but 0ibout £12.000, the most of which was after- j,wards returned through a Catholic priest. The Birrest and conviction of the robbers of Mylart's j,jank at Scranton, Pa., next followed. 0The next case of importance of which Mr. vPinkerton had charge was the robbery by Mor- ^:on and Thompson from the express car of the jMerchant's Union Express Company on the .Hudson river railroad of £300,000. these men £were tracked to Canada and there arrested, and ^n spite ofall that money could do and the help ^which they received from corrupt government uitticials they were extradited to White Plains, AN". Y-. They afterwards broke from prison and vaided the Boylston Bank in Boston and then aled to Europe. vTHE RENO BROTHERS. vIn the same year came the death of the Reno virothers and Anderson, of Seymour, Indiana, aThese men were desperadoes of the most prolouncedtype. They robbed stores and expressrains, burglarized safes, and their very namesjecame a terror along the railroad lines in that osection of the country. Entire discontinuance a)f express service was seriously thought of by ahe companies. In 1868, near Osgood Station.Indiana, they robbed the Adams Express Comianyof £97,000 by boarding the train, throwing

*

he messenger from the car, opening the safes bmil deliberately appropriating their contents. IPhis case was given to Mr. Pinkerton, aind Simeon and Bill Reno were arrested ^jy him at Indianapolis. Frank Reno and .Charles Anderson fled to Canada, were qmrsued to Windsor. Ontario, ami extra- tlited after a long siege of more than three ]nonths. During the trial which followed jmother portion of the gang, for the purpose of nscreening the prisoners and throwing suspicion prom them, attempted another express robbery, |,nit of this Mr. Pinkerton was fully advised and cirepared for them. After one of the men had ^jeen shot the rest were captured, but before .waiting the action of the law the indignant ^md outraged populace of the county took them j>ut and hun« them within full view ot the gjail. When Frank Reno and Carles Reno were gleturned to the United States they were thrown ynto jail at New Albany, Indiana, in companywith Simeon and Bill Reno. About three weeksifter their arrival there one hundred maskednen marched to the jail, having come in on thelorth-bouml train, overpowered the sheriff and nailer and hung the three Renos and Anderson, hind that ended the banditti in Southern Indiana.

A MAN WITHOUT FEAR. BAllan Pinkerton was a man who knew no fear, 0

ind numerous are the exploits in which he took Plis life in his own hands. On one occasion, in ^Detroit, he was so severely handled by his ad- drersaries that his life was "despaired of. A par-, o:iai lameness remained to tho last as the result)f the bloody encounter. He was a man who aletected at once what qualities there were in a ^lerson that came under his observation. A ltstriking illustration of this fact i? the career of ^Ucl'arlan. the great detective in ilie Molly Maruirecases. Mcl'arlan was a coachman in themploy of a merchant who resides in Chicago. arhe stables of this gentleman Joined those ofPinkerton on Monroe street, and "the old man,"hen deeply involved in the study of the Molly j1tfaguire cases, came to the conclusion that .'Mac" was his man. He engaged him at a highsalary, instructed him personally for hours every hlay, and finally turned him over to the Philalelphiaagency, which had the special manage- Pneat ot this great case. IsMr. Pinkerton was the author of fifteen vol- s<

lines of detective experiences. He lias left tlseveral volumes In manuscript. He never could r<je induced to operate in a divorce case or where Pamlly matters were in dispute. He leaves a bwidow, Mrs. Joan Pinkerton. the devoted wifewho followed her young husband in his volun- t«:ary exile to America, and who has been his con- bstant companion and wise counsellor through ft:he many years and changing fortunes of theirwedded life. To thein were bom eight chil- "

Iren, only two of whom are living, William A.,:he eldest, in charge of the Chicago office and othe western division, while Robert A. Is the ozeneral superintendent and has immediate charge oj{ the eastern offices. b
