The New York agency also furnishes

mcr season the patrol force in Chicago
is much larger than in winter. the agency
furnishing police for the Washington
Park grounds. the driving park ON the
West Sue, and several similar places of
amusement They also police most Of
the theatres the museums. aud furnish
special officers for banks and other
places. The Chicago agency has also u
special force of over 200 men who do
duty in guarding property At different
points all over the west, principally in
the territories.
Such is II very brief outline of the
growth of the Pinkcrton institution from
its inception m 1850. until the present
day. Its founder is dead but he has
left two sons 10 continue the business.

of the eastern agencies. Upon the death
of Allan Pinkerton, in 1884, the entire
business passed into the hands of the
two sons. and William A. became general
superintendent of the western division,
with headquarters ut Chicago, while
Robert A. succeeded his brother as gen
eral superintendent of the eastern di-
vision, with headquarters at New York.
The business had been steadily grow
ing and at the time of the death of
the father the agency was employing be-
tween three and four hundred detectives,
besides maintaining correspondents in
almost every part of the habitablc globe.
Since the death of the founder the insti-
tuition has continued to grow under the
management of the sons They have
opened u branch at AZ Court street in the
city of Boston, and in the Opera House
Block in Denver, Colo. To-day the
agency has on its pay rolls. aside from
men employed occasionally in connection
with the labor troubles, fully 700 per-
sons.

Allan Pinkcrton vas detective in the

u long line of successors, the last and
among the most celebrated of whom is
the well known Captain James Bonfeld.

PHYSICAL EXERCISE.
ITS INFLUENCE ON THE SYSTEM.


A well-regulated Use of our voluntary
muscles is very important aid for the
functions of digestion and assimilation
of the food, circulation and mixing Of
the blood, growth, production and re-
production of our system.
The circulation in the veins. wherein
the blood is carried from the parts of
the body back to the heart is influenced
to great extent by the contraction Of
the muscle fibers. If the fibcrs of our
muscles contract, pressure against the
surrounding vessels takes place and the
blood is pushed towards the heart. The
valves which we find in the veins pre-
vent the blood from flowing back again
when the contraction ceases. next con-
traction brings the blood still nearer and
at certain time back to the heart. Gas.
kell and Others have demonstrated by
experiments that the flow of blood
through the muscles il increased during
the period of contraction. For that part
of the circulation of the blood. systema-
tic free exercises are the most efrcctual,
and in order to carry them out sytemati
cally we must know what different mo-
tions the muscles produce.
III we commence Win the mere Illus
trated motions land others specifically
described), we are sure that we have
brought the voluntary muscles which

into rational systematic physiological
action, and have them better prepared
for daily labor, forced muscular exer-
cises. AS gymnastics. boating. etc. for a
better balance of our body. and for n
development of agility and vigor. The
exercises should be made at least
three times day. and every motion
three times, which can he executed in
about two minutes. There are many vo-
cations where persons use or even over
tax some of their voluntary muscles. but
do not contract the fibers of the other
sets of muscles, which the circulation of
the blood and other physiological func-
tions require

2. The abductOr muscles are well used
by drawing the limbs as close AS posi-

can do it after each abduction, but 1t is
better to draw the limbs close to the
body by separate motions. and when the
extremities are about one inch from the
body.
