Four Years in Prison for Former Son-in-law
of Chief Justice Fuller.
fRY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUNE.I

Milwaukee, June 16.-I do not believe my
worst enemies will accuse of being discour-
teous when I am not under the influence Of
drugs" said James NJ. Aubery. jr. former SON
in-law of Chief Justice Fuller, as he was SEN
fenced to four years in the State prison to-day.
Aubery tried and convicted recently of the
forgery of a check for $50, though a strong de-
fence was put up the ground that he was un-
der the influence of morphine other drugs
when the offence committed. Hitherto"
said Aubery, .'all my troubles have fallen upon
myself alone. This time circumstances are al
tered and there is a wife and little child who
must share in my disgrace Despite my convic-
tlon, l maintain that | would not have done this
thing HAD 1 been in my right mind"

About Magnets.

Magnets are Frequently made in the
form of "a horseshoe Or letter y, bat
horseshoe magnet is really nothing
more than Il bar magnet bent. AS both
poles Will attract irCn it is apparently
twice as strong as when in the bar
form a piece Of iron laid across the
poles is attracted by both of them. In
this case the poles act on opposite ends
Of the iron ana do not destroy each
others effects. for each pole magnctizes
the portion of the iron opposite it. The
iron therefore becomes q strong mag
net with its north pole touching the
south pole Of the horseshoe magnet and
its south pole touching the north pole.
This is popularity called keeper" be-
cause it keeps" or preserves. the
strength of the magnet, which be-
comes much weaker when the keeper
is left off.-St. Nicholas.

A Queer Legend of Tailed Men.

When g native HOllander wants To
show his hatred for an Englishman
he simply refers to him as a 'steert
man'-in other words, 1.-The man with
a tail" The legend says that Thomas
q Beckett cursed the KentiSh men who
spitefully cut off the tail of his horse
while he was riding the animal
through the country, and that the en-
tire generation of Kent which followed
wore tails like those Of horses. JOnn
Bale, Edward WIS bishop of Ossory,
mentions the legend, but gives some
variations as to the cause of the ig-
noble punishment. He says John Cap
grave and Alexander of Esseby say
eth that "for castynge fyshe tayles at
st. Augustine Dorsetshyre men had
tayIes ever after that"
But Polydorus applies it to Kentish
men at Stroud, by Rochester, ''for cut
tinge off Thomas Becket's horses
tayle." One account says that only
those living in Kent at the time Of
the curse were afflicted with large,
dropping tayles, like brutes; their pos
terity being not so affected"

Ancient ideas of Africa.

In medieval times Africa was an
unknown continent as well as Asia.
Until few years after the discovery
of Columbus no one had sailed around
it, and it was quite generally thought,
as it had previously been thought in
regard to Asia, that the African CONT
nent extended on and on indefinitely.
1t was supposed that far to the south
was the zone Of heat. in which no hu-
man being could live. This was by no
means an unreasonable Inference to
the ancicnts. They knew that the far
Their they sailed to the north the colder
it grew and that in the extreme north
was q region Of perpetual ice and snow.
They also knew that the farther they
sailed to the south the warmer it grew
and what was more natural for them
to suppose that if they went far enough
in that direction they would come upon
lands that were parched and baked
and upon seas that boiled, where moth
ing could live but salamanders?

Officers of the army on duty In the
war department wear uniforms the
same as if they were ON duty at mill
tary posts. The practice has resulted
in making nearly every room occupied
by officers a dressing room, where
wardrobes are kept. Most officers dis
like very much to appear on the street
in uniform: it makes them too cor
spicnOus. Uniforms for use in the de-
partment are kept in a wardrobe, and
the officers put them on when they
arrive in the morning, take them or
and don civilian dress to go to lunch
con, and upon their return in the
afternoon and departure for home
later go through the same process.
They don't like it. but 1t is an order.
For people doing business at the de-
partment it is much better, for
stranger knows whether he is talking
with an officer or clerk, and if IA
miliar with the emblems can tell the
rank of the officer-WaShfngto Post.

False Hair I'm EIizabeth's Time.

Queen Elizabeth had eighty wigs in
her collection, and her cousin, Mary,
queen of Scots, had "as many as hun
dred," and among the homogeneous
presents made her while confined a
prisoner in gloomy Lochleven, previous
to her being beheaded, wigs were nu-
merous. Gentlemen who particularly
wished to please their lady friends pre-
scented them with wigs of the latest
shade of hair and newest style Of

Decline of the ESSAY

Why do we no longer find in these
magazines the long essays that were
the backbone Of the 90 style period
icals? Is it because there are nova
days no men who like to and are able
to take their pens in hand and ramble
on and on aimlessly over hill and dale,
with many a leisurely pause and Occa-
sionaI airy flights? Is it because the
editors can find no writer's who are
surcharged with views on all sorts of
abstract subjects and could be moved
to impart those views at length to the
readers OF magazines? Certainly not
Almost every man who writes at all
would like to write esSays-lOng eS-
says. But the wise editors won't have
them any more, because the people
won't read them and won't even take
magazines that get the reputation Of
harbOring them. If an editor Graves
a small circulation in this day let him
gather the essayists about him and
freely turn them loose upon his pages.

Thn MHffraS1

Some one has been hunting up the
history of the mattress. Its beginning
was the collection of rags. huSks or
reeds which were bound together and
thrown down anywhere to form a rest
ing place for the kinds and serfs of the
rich. 1t is suggested that their names
of shakedown and makeshift were de-
rived originally from the Arabic
word 'matrah.' IN the middle ages
feather beds found favor with the
wealthy and the mattress was not used
by them. Inventories of estates owned
by the American cOlOnists show that
mattresses were then worth 5000 each,
being made of hair. In England mat
treSSes of rabbits fur were once used
and vegetable fbers of various kinds
have served their turn.
