Hints About Bathing.

Strong men may bathe before break
fast, but the best average time is about
three hours after breakfast.
Walk at moderate pace to the bath
ing ground, so as to be neither too hot
nor too cold, and undress as speedily as
possible, putting on your bathing dress
without delay.
1t is better to plunge at once into
deep water; don't unless you can swim,
however, but rather after bending down
and laving the face and both arms, drop
right underneath the first wavelet.
Wear bathing cap, especially if a
lady.
If you can swim, swim and nothing
else; if you cannot, you can at least
tumble about and keep moving, and also
rub your limbs with the hands.
Come out before you have actually
ceased to enjoy yourself.
1t is better to have in your bathing
house your own towel, one at least, and
let it be moderately rough.
Remove your bathing dress. Rub
your face, shoulders, limbs and body,
using moderate friction, and finish dry
ing with q smoother towel.
When quite dry, dress, and it ought
not to be at all necessary to dress
quickly.
If faintness or sickness comes on A.,
which must be looked on as quite an ac-
cident, lie down for few minutes.
After dressing, a brisk walk should
be taken; and now lunch biscuit will
do you service.
Remember that the glow after the
bath is the grand event to be looked for
If instead of this glow decided chill
takes place, and if not removed by q
brisk walk, small drop of brandy,
taken along with a biscuit, becomes a
necessity, or for ladies glass of some
cordial.
Don't forget flannel underclothing if
at all delicate.

Security and Splurge.

Mrs. Jane G.. Swisshelm is vrit;no
letters from Europe to the Chicago T.e
bune. When she visited the Bank ~
England, she was struck by the uolinoSl
and unpretentiOusness of "the Old LAD
OF Ihreadneedle street" and thereupo5
proceeded to moralize as follows:
If one bone of an animal betrays tbo
secrets of its life, the anatomy Of tbot
right arm of British finance has Iesaon
for us; and this is that security and
splurge belong to different species
The latter may be as large as a spermo'

for catching and holding him.

A Remarkable Criminal.

One of the greatest criminals of the
age, who had led charmed life every-
where but in Georgia, atoned for his
crimes on the gallows at Rome, Georgia,
recently.N His name was Haywood
Grant, and he was a colored man. He
was born in 1874, in Ohio, of free pa
rents, but afterward became a slave Of
his own accord. According to his own
confession, he had murdered several
men. In 1865, while employed upon a
Western river on the steamer Potomac.
he killed a deckhand with billet Of
wood. Some months later he killed
another deckhand on the steamer Bos-
tona, and threw him overheard. He
committed many thefts about this time,
and next murdered an Irishman in Mem
phis, Tennessee, and robbed him of
$40. Then he stole a mule, and was
sent to the penitentiary and escaped.
In 1875 he was tried in Memphis for
shooting at a white man, and killing q
policeman. He was sentenced again TO
the penitentiary for half lifetime, was
hired out with other convicts TO work,
and escaped. On the twentyJaf day
of September, 1868, General Thomas
G. Hindman, late of the Confederate
army, was brutally murdered. No clew
to the murderer was ever found, though
large rewards were offered. Grant con-
fessed before his death that he shot Cen
eral Hindman in the neck with an En-
field rife. He also killed William b,
Hansborough, of Richmond, Virginia,
in O Tennessee town, but was never
found out. As much as $25, 900 in re-
wards was offered for the arrest of the
criminal who committed some of the
crimes above enumerated. But justice
overlook Grant at last in Georgia, where
he was convicted Of arson. BE told a
reporter that he would tell him his
story if he would give him big water
melon. He ate it with a relish before
he died.

The Club Foot.
A DETECTIVES STORY.

One cold January night was seated
cozily by my fireside, enjoying cup of
tea which my wife knows so well how to
make, when a violent ring at the front
door bell, disturbed tine reverie in
which I was indulging.
Myvisitor was avery handsome young
girl Of about eighteen years Of age. She
was dressed with great taste, and evil
IDENTIFY belonged to the upper ranks Of
life. She appeared somewhat embar-
rassed, as if she were at loss how to
begin the conversation.
Have I the pleasure of speaking to
Mr.. James Brampton ?" she said, at
last
"That is my name" I replied.
"My name, sir, continued the young
girl, gaining courage, 81 is Eliza Mil
ford"
Milford, /" said ], '.what, the dangh-
ter Of the gentleman who has lately so
mysteriously disappeared, with the ac-
count of which the papers have been so
full for the past few days?"

business l have come to consult you.
You are perhaps aware that q young
man has been arrested on suspicion of
having taken his life?"
eyes, a Mr.. Henry Waring, I be-
leveg"
Eyes, sir, that is his name-that
young man is innocent"
=" Indeed p ~
81 will make plain statement of the
facts of the case, and then I am sure you
will agree with me. Ny fathers name,
as you are aware, is Mr.. Herbert Mil
ford. We live on the banks of the
North river, about twelve miles from
New York. Ny father was deYotedly
attsched 10 me, and We lived as happily
as possible together. About year ago
I was introduced to the son Of gentle
man living in the neighborhood, and
love sprung up between us. Henry
Waring visited my fathers house every
night. But suddenly our dream Of
happiness was dissipated, and that, too,
by an extraordinary circumstance.
Henry was early one morning found in
the garden attached TO our house, in a
half senseless condition, his clothes and
hands were covered with blood, and my

Every search was made for him, but
without any avail, and Henry was ar
rested on the charge Of having muir
dered and concealed the body some
where"
THAT was q very strange conclusion
to come to, !" said I, interrupting her.
" Yes. but you have not heard it all, 4"
she replied. - My fathers watch and
purse were found in Henry's pocket at
the time he was arrested"
'tHoW does Mr.. Waring account for
that?7 asked
"I don't know, rsplied Miss Milford,
A" for / have not been permitted to see
him. He has been removed to the
county Jail, and his case has not yet
been investigated, owing to the fact of
my fathers body not having been dis
covered. But to suppose that Henry
could be guilty Of murder and robbery,
is too prepOsterous to believe for a mo-
ment."

GREELEY's RECOMMENDATION. - The
story is told that Mr.. Greeley once be-
came Disguised with the blunders OF
one of the Tribune compositors, and sent
a note up to the foreman, saying that
the said compositor was inefficient, and
requesting him to dismiss him at once,
and never again to employ him on the
Tribune. The foreman obeyed iAstruc-
tions, and the compositor put his coat
on. Before leaving, however, he man
aged to get possession of Greeley's note
to the foreman, and Immediately went
to rival Office and applied for work,
showing the note as a Recommendation.
The foreman, to whom he applied,
read |" the note, and said: "Oh, l
see-good and efficient composition
employed long time on the Tribune
Horace Greeley" and incidentally
asked, "Why did you leave the IN,
bune ?" " I've been away for some time"
(meaning ten minutes). So the COM
positor was at once set to work in a RI
val Office, on the strength of Mr.. Gree
ley's certifcation of his ineficiency,
having been 60 out of job" about nj
teen minutes.

AS ONE of the Eighth avenue cars, with
full load, was on its way down town IN
New York, the other morning, the pas
sengers were considerably surprised at
hearing one of the men sing out at the
top of his voice, d" Has anybody lost
five-dollar bill ?" Instantly almost eV-
erybody in the car searched his pockets
to ascertain whether he had been the un-
fortunate one, and, after q short time,
a seedy-looking individual concluded
that he had lost one, and immediately
appealed to the speaker. "Au right,
was the reply, " If find one, III give
it to you" The seedy-looking individual
left the car before the next corner was
reached.
