Columbia has at last been aroused on
the subject of securing the location of
the Woman's College in that city. We
wanted to see Columbia get this college
after We failed to arouse the people of
Newberry even to think about it, but
when she failed to come in with the
others we doubt if the board ought now
to consider her bid at all.

A negro of Brooklyn has been
awarded $500 damages against the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia rail
road because the conductor made her
ride in the car provided for persons of
her color. That would seem to be
against the separate car business that
has been advocated in this State.

1t is rep: d again that the Three
C's Railroad is to be completed very
soon. The Herald and News hopes
the report is true. The branch of it
from Augusta to Blacksbrug is very
much needed. 1t would be a great
thing for Newberry, but then railroads
nor anything else can make a town
grow unless the citizens are possessed
of some public spirit. Still we would
be very glad to see this part of the road
built and that speedily, and. we hope
the report is true.

HOW TO MAKE A CHEST WEIGHT.
Best of All the Muscle Nachine-How to
Use 1t.

Best of All the Muscle 1Tachine-HoW to
Use 1t.
by Dr. William C. Anderson, Yale University
Gymnasium.
OF all machines or appliances made to
develop and strengthen the muscles, no
one is so good as the chest weight.
This piece OF apparatus is simple in its
mechanism, cheap, and requires but little
time and practice to learn how to use it.
Any boy endowed with ordinary ingen-
uity can make his own chest weight by
following the directions given, and by re-
ferring to the illustr atoms.
This apparatus is valuable because it
does what no other machine can do,
namely, it viii develop particular mus
cles, or any group of muscles. 1t takes
the place of dumb bells and clubs, yet it
does not require the time to become pro-
ficient in Its use that these articles do.
With this the young athlete can exercise
tigued he can rest it and work another
part. He can draw his shoulders back,
widen and deepen the chest and strengthen
the muscles around the waist.
By this machine the champion pitcher
of the ''nine'' develops his right arm and
SIDE; the 1OOtDall player strengthens his
arm, back, waist ana legs; the oarsman
increases the elasticity and vigor of his
legs, back and arms; the boxer, runner,
jumper, and, in fact, all engaged in
gymnastics or athletics, work at the chest
weights, in addition to their special work.
to increase their physical ability, quick
ness and strength.
THE MATERIAL AND THE COST.
A chest weight, If purchased at store,
will cost from IS to So; if made at home,
and according to directions given here,
| it ought not to cost over 81, and it will
answer the purpose nearly as well as the
more expensive one. In order that
might know just about what it would
cost, l called one of the boys from my
class, and together we made a machine,
of which photographs were taken. The
illustrations given here are from these
photographs.
Purchase from the carpenter two planed
strips of pine, one ten feet long by one
and half inches square, the other four
feet long by one and half inches square.

Madden, the agent, speedily evicted
Ozark Andy. He did not seem to know
his misfortune; he spent the day of the
eviction, as usual, at the crossroads, and
came back at night to ruin. Larry Ro-
nan saw he took the change as matter
of course, and that after cropping in the
four corners of the cabin he sat on the
window ledge as if unaware that nothing
was left of his home but the walls.
Next day it was rumored that Bridget
McCaura of Moher farm had sheltered
Dark Andy. Bridget was a warm woman,
''woman of three COWS, y a masterful old
maid. who in her time had refused many
a pretty fellow, perhaps because she sus-
pected them of laundering after her live
stock, her poultry and her sixty acres OF
rocks. Then Father Peter Fiannery rode
over to see her. Bridget was called out of
her house to speak to him, he was afraid
to dismount. She stood in the narrow
gateway in front OF her farm, with her
arms akimbo, ready to defend her home
against all corners. Peters heart
trembled; he has great dread of angry
women.
SIS it thrue,'' he asked-and was so
frightened that he looked even sterner
than usual-s'is it thrue what I IN afther

finished, let us proceed to put the ma
chine together. Cut from the ham
mock Irvine piece II feet long; at one
end tie large knot, insert the other end
through the hole 5, up through the two
screw eyes at the side of the weight
2, and the screw eyes on the other side
of the weight box, and down
through hole 6. Draw the cord
very tight and tie knot in this end close
to the frame. If the lower part of the
holes and 6 are larger than the upper
part of the same openings, the knots will
t'counter-sink'' and be hidden from
view. In the same manner proceed with
the other side of the chest weight. Wire
for these guide lines will last longer than
cord, but is noisy.
! Next cut a piece of Irvine ten feet long.
To one end fasten handle. Pass the
other end through the pulley E Gig. y E,
down through pulley G in top of weigh
box, then up, and fasten by tack or
small screw eye to the under side of the
top piece ABB, at the back. Attach Irvine
to the second box in the same way, and
the weight is done.
THE LOWER OF ABDOMINAL ATTACHMENT.
| An Abdominal or lower attachment can
be made easily and attached to the chest
weight. AS this addition will enable you
to better develop certain muscles (also to
change the chest weight into rowing
machinel, it win pay to make it.
| Procure in addition to what you have
already purchased a pine board two feet
long, four inches wide, one inch thick.
! Cut this board as in Fig. 3. Fasten two
pulleys by staples in the top side at A anG
b. BY iron braces one inch by three
inches, fasten the board to the frame OF
the chest weight with screws, as shown
in Fig. at HI.
Next take two pieces of hammock cord
each four and one-half feet long, and in
one end make small loop; at the other
end tie small hard knot, or wind the
end with waved thread. to keep the cord
from untwisting. Pass the knotted end
through the pulleys at and K. AS the

handles have been attached to the chest
weights, cut them off, with a few inches
of string attached to them. Tie small
knot in the end of string attached to the
handle, or wind with waxed thread. and
make a loop in the end of string going to
weight box. The same handles can now
be used for the chest weight and for the
abdominal attachment, and for the row.
| ing machine as well. By ssshort bend''
| Zig. Al, attach the handle to the loop
of the cord going through the lower
pulley, and by the same method attach
the cord of the abdominal attachment to
| the chest weight cord.
| If you cannot procure handles such as
are used to carry bundles, make pair
from an old broom handle. Cut two
pieces each six inches long. In each end
| insert screw eye, and to these tie piece
of cord as in figure 4B.
At the top and bottom of each side OF
the frame A. B. c. d. insert screw eyes.
Through the lower screw eyes, at G and
| D., drive a two-inch wire nail, or use
screws, into the floor. This will prevent
the base from moving. The top OF the
frame may be made fast by means of the
upper screw eyes, TO the wall or to door
or window castings, as may be conven-
lent.
A brick is about inches long, OK
inches wide and "a inches thick, and
weighs trifie over four and one-half
pounds. 1t Will be seen that each box is
1 just large enough to hold two bricks.
These can be used as weights. If the
corners are rough, trim them down with
hammer. The bricks can be cut in two
and thus the weight can be adjusted from
| two to nine pounds. 1t must be borne in
mind that the use of the two pullies will
reduce the weight.
HOW TO USE THE CHEST WEIGHT.
We will now suppose that youhave
discovered your various physical defects
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-03-26

To develop inside of right upper leg,
catch right foot in the handles, turn right
side to chest weight and swing the right
leg across in front of left, Reverse posi-
ton for left leg. To develop the muscles
on the back of neck, take band of cloth,
which will do for a strap, and attach
handle to the head; place the hands upon
the hips; sway the body back and forth,
keeping the head in an erect position.
To develop the muscles of the front of the
neck, take the same exercise, but with
the back to the chest weights. These
movements also require practice.
Fig. IS is drawn from photograph of
the chest weight, which we made with
the abdominal and rowing machine
attachments. All the pulleys are brass,
which made iG a little more expensive.
Part of the wood is not dressed. The
chest weight cost, completed, about a
dollar.
After the various materials for the
chest weight had been purchased, it re-
quired something over an hour to make
it. A hammer, saw, brace, bit, pincers,
and brad-awl were the only tools used.
| would suggest the use of wire nails as
far as possible, and that you have sharp
tools, to save time. Do not try to do
everything at once. Study the illustra-
tions. Bore ali the pulley holes and place
the pulleys before putting the parts to-
remember that even this machine re-
quires some care, and is not guaranteed
to be noiseless.
In conclusion let me suggest that you
do not try to work alone. 1t is better to
organize gymnastic society. Electyour
officers and meet at regular intervals, but
not too often. 1t is tiresome for the most
enthusiastic gymnast to work al the chest
weight long without company, and there
are few who will do this.
If our best gymnasts and athletes find
that the chest weight is SO valuable in
their training, certainly the boys will
find the benefit to be great, and that it
will repay them doubly in the end.
Attention is called to the first of these
articles, which gave rules for taking
measurements. Every healthy boy will
grow whether ne exercises or not, but
by careful training he can not only in
crease the size of his arms, chest and
legs, but he will give to them much addi-
tional strength, and this strength will
give him courage, will-power and self
control.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-03-26

and that the chest weight, with the lower
or abdominal attachment, is ready for
use.
The correct position at the start is seen
in Fig, 8.
Do not permit the boxes to strike the
top or the bottom Of the frame, and never
let the handles slip from the hands.
Exercise one set of muscles until they
are somewhat fatigued. then change the
movement. Do not exercise until COM
pletely tired; this does more harm than
good.

a piece of lath to the front of the box, at
the top. This you can push to one side. At
the top and bottom of each side of the box,
midway between front and back, put the
screw eyes, as shown at and D.. In the
centre of the top of each box fasten a
screw pulley. The object of the swinging
pulley at the top of the frame is to allow
motion in any direction. An iron pulley
is noisy, brass one less so, while a small
wooden pulley makes the least noise.
The reason for using two pulleys is to give
greater length of rope, which is essen
tial.

ones, instead of between them, to better
resist pressure. Fasten the parts to-
gether with two-inch wire nails. To
make the frame work more secure, use
