, Dr. Dudley A. Sargeant, physical
culture director at Harvard,- ought to
be mighty unpopular with the fair sex.
He has just declared that housework
Is the best kind of exercise to bring
beauty, and that a perfect figure can
best bo secured at the washboard.
This doctrine is entirely out of rea
son, In the estimation of the average
housewife. .-.,
Dr. Sargeant says that kneading
bread Is an exercise par excellence for
developing a shapely forearm. Also
that an hour's work at the washboard
Is equal to similar efforts with the
chest " weights1 as a developer of the
upper arms, back and shoulders.. He
proceeds: ' '."
-"Where a woman does her own
housework, with Us manifold varie
ties of physical requirements, nearly
every muscle of the body may be
brought Into action during the day.
Nothing Is better for the development
of the large muscles of the thighs or
for the reduction of fat about this
region than running up and down
atalrs.
"No bettor method can be devlsod
for strengthening the spine than
scrubbing floors on the hands and
knees, especially If the left arm, as
well as the right, be used.
; "Swooping with a long handled
broom, If the broom Is used on both
aides, so that both arms may be used

BAUMGARDNER GUILTY
(Continued from imi'.e 1 )
here Is something that will make you
go." Mrs. Wilson says the gun was
pointed at the ground but the defend
ant asserts It was pointed at his face.
Anyway, according to Mrs. Anderson
who testified for. the defense Baum
gardner beat a retreat by climbing
through the wire fence which encloses
the piuce. It was set forth that Mrs.
Baumgardner had formerly lived with
Mrs. Welb at the expense of the coun
ty but that of late the room rent was
Tree and that' Baumgardner had no
authority to appear on the premises.
The county court took a hand In the
family affairs when cruel treatment of
the children was alleged.
Considerable contradiction was
brought out. Baumgardner was eal
iid and testified that he went to the
Webb place In order to obtain posses
sion of some guns which it seems had
at one time been with Mrs. Baumgard
ner, and also to inquire about some
potatoes. He says he wont to the
kitchen door to ask Mrs. Webb about
them but was met with Blern orders
to get away and subsequently felt the
stlngi of a stick wielded by Mrs. Webb.
Bmimgurdiier swore that Mrs. Wilson
called blm a vile name, saying to
someone unknown to Baumgardner,
"Bring me a gun and I w.M kill

IRVIX CASE MUDDLED.
Charge of Tumitercd Juryman Hade $
by Affidavit.
Baker, April 30. (Special) Bas
ing their claims on two altldavits,
which are submitted to the court. At
torneys John L. Rand and A. A. Smith
yesterday filer a motion asking that
the verdict In the case of John Irvin,
who was convicted of murder lu the
second degree for the killing of J. A.
McCraw, be set aside. The motion
holds that the trial was unfair, that
there was an error in law aud that
the evidence was insufficient to Justify
the verdict that was rendered.
The two affidavits are of a sensa
tional nature, especially one, in
which the party making same says
that he talked with one of lie jurors
who sat on the case, and that said
Juryman told him that he thought
Irvine was guilty and ought to be
hanged. A conversation in which the
statement was made took place in a
local saloon a few days before the
trial. The questions asked and an
swers of the Juryman when he was
hosen are also submitted with the
affidavits.
The other affidavit is by A. A.
Smith, of counsel for the defense. A
statement of District Attorney Levens
ho holds, prejudiced the jury against
the prisoner, although the court In
structed the jury not to consider It.
The remark which he quotes from the
statement of the state's attorney was
to the effort that although the counsel
of the defense had stated that the de
fondant was "doing his duty'' at the
time of the tragedy, he was "In a sa
loon selling liquor on Sunday."
It has not been announced by the
court when ruling will be made on
the motion.

Aitutaki Islardcra Pull Them Up by
the Tail With Ropea.
The Island of Almtuki. one uf tl.e
Hervcy group, In tU.? P;irilU is sur
rounded by Islets ftudcriipulh which
are submarine caverns, tin1 homos of
sharks. These sharks, which ure about
six feet long, are esneuiod deliou.vy.
mid the natives catch t!u:m with mioses.
Arrived over the c.itraiK o to the
shark cave, the fisherman leaves his
canon to the care of his companions
and dives to the bottom, currying Willi
biu ii strong cord ti.Mf into u slip knot.
He c::;e. ts to find tvo or three shark?
at bo:-:o well satisfied nnd drowsy aft
er feeding in the lagoon, with their
tails toward the eiitroiiro. Selecting
the largest, the diver adroitly adjusts a
uooso over the tail, taking care that It
hangs loosely. If he has another noose
he secures a second shark.
The shark catcher now, with one
bound ou the white, sandy bottom,
rises to tho surface in order to assist
his friends In hauling up tho fish. The
astonished shark suddenly finds Itself
ascending tall first to the surface, when
a smart blow from an ax between the
eyes or on the tail ends Us career.

History on Coins. ' ;
The knowledge of coins and medals)
through tho inscriptions and device
thereon Is to an extent a history of the)
world from the date in which metals
Lwero applied to such uses, says tha
New Em. Events engraved upon thesa
remain hidden in tombs or burled in
the bosom of the earth, deposited there
tn ages loug past by careful and miser
ly hands, only awaiting the research of
the patient Investigator to tell the sto
ry of their origin. Numismatic trens
uros ore scanned as evidence of facts
to substantiate statements on papyrus
or stone, and dates are often supplied
to define the border Huo between os
serted tradition and positive history
Gibbon remarks. "If there were no oth
er record of Hadrian his enreer would
bo found written upon tho coins of his!
reign." ,
Waste Paper In Paris.'
Paris police give strict attention to
tho act against throwing waste papers
and refuse upon the streets. An absent
minded old gentleman carelessly drop
ped a hundred franc note from his
wnlstcoat pocket, whereupon n sharp
eyed policeman requested th; oid gen
tlcmnn to give his name and address or
submit to arrest. But when the offend
er 'reached into the gutter mil ;:i:ked
up the waste paper nnd opened !t !;
fore tho policeman's eyes ho was kt o;T
with an apology and ii profound Iwr.
Sentimar.t.
"What Is life without sentiment!"
fxclniraed the romantic person.- ...
"Yes," replied Mr. Growcher, "but it
doesn't always promote, n square deal.
