Queer Instance of Insanity Caused by Football. One of Carpmael's Eccentricities is His Belief that His Wife is Men? tally Unsound. Violent Exer? cise Injured His Nerves and He Kicked Her. The developments in tho case of the Toland medical student, E. D. Oarp rsrf?l of Berkeley, who is seeking to havo his wife sent to an insano a>sylnm, reveal oue of the straugest instances of mauiu in tho history of insanity. According to Mrs. Carpmnel, hor hns band is insane, and one of tho eccentric? ities of hiB mania is his belief that his vrifo is nnsonnd mentally. Both Mr. and Mrs. Carpmael aro English people. Mrs. Carpmaol says that three, yonrs ago her husband rhstrio nlated at the University of Ijondon with great honors nnd promised to bo r.no of tho brightest students at that in? stitution of learning. He was youiiK and of> very fine and delicate nervous Organ? isation. Ho became infatuated with football and played with great /.est. The violent exercise injured his nerves nud has played sad havoc with his mind. It was shortly after their marriage three years sro that Mr. Carpmael took to playing footbnll. Up to that time ho had treated his wife lovingly and with deep respect. Bnt after he began to in dnlge so much in football bis wife ob? served a change in his manner. His sleep was fitful, and his mind became overwrought. He grew moody at times, and when his wife noticed his peculiarities and tried to help him be became apprehen? sive and intimated to his friends that he thought his wife's mind was becoming deranged Thirags went on this way for some timo until one. night ho kicked bis wife crusTry. She realized that ho was not in I'M right mind and kept tbo matter se? cret-. . In other ways his mauiu. Mrs. Carp? mael says, begun to assert itself. Final? ly his health began to fail, and he was induced to leave college and Enslaud aud eonio to America. The young stu? dent and his wife went to California. For awhile Iur treatment of his wife was better, and she looked forward to his complete recovery. Some timo after he tried to introduce tbo Rugby style of football game in San Francisco and became well known in collego sporting circles. His insruio treatment of his wife returned, she says, with the renewal of football playing. Finally shu had to defend herself, and he left her one night and did not return for three months. Worry and abuse and lack of fetid? for" he spent tho main part of tho allow? ance on himself, Mrs. Carpmaol Rays? had made her an invalid. But sick and weak, with two little children, showent out to make her living in San Francisco and got a position, working for 2? cents u day. After three months he returned and for awhile seemed to bo getting better. But- again his peculiar malady came back, and his treatment of his wife be? came unbearable. She tried to reason him into his old gentleness and gallant? ry, but he grew nt< tody. Ouo morning, after one of these spells, ho began an action in San Francisco for divorce. Friends of the family now thought it ?was timo to interfere, and the news was sent to Carpmael's father in London. -Ho sent a reply to Dr. Shiels of San Francisco, staling that if his son did not recall the suit his allowance should be stopped. Dr. Shiols is a friend of Student Carp? mael's father. Thu latter, realizing that his son's mind was, temporarily at least, disturbed, had been sending the money mouthly to Dr. Shiels, to bo given to the young rnau. Dr. Shiels communicat? ed tho message to tho student, und it had the desired effect. He withdrew the divorce proceedings. Ho was alto in? duced to givo up footbalL "Ho has not kicked me since he Stopped playing football," said Mrs. Carpmael recently, "but in many other ways his actions show that his mind is becoming more disturbed. I am willing that he should havo a divorce. It eeems to mo it would bo better. "At tho medical department Mr. Carpmael is makiug a particular study of insanity. Ono of his nianius is to ana? lyze my traits in his theses as indica? tions of insanity. Ha has taken mo into his confldeuco ut times and told mo ho was going to outline my pathologicnl condition to tho professors und see what could be douo for me. I havo looked at his papers after they have been marked "by the professors, and in every instance the instiuicos of insanity founded uj>on his observances of mo havo been marked as being erroneous.''?San Francisco Ex? aminer.

Monument to Bo Krectcd to tho Mem? ory of Fraud* Scott Kot, [Special Correspondence.] Baltimore, May 21.?Visitors enter? ing the couiotory lit Frederick City, Md., notice n well worn path leading to the center of the grounds, where a tall flng polo stands, from which usually floats a largo Amoricau fing. Near its base aro tho humbly marked grstves of Francis Scott Key and Mary Tayloo Key, his wife. It may not ho generally known, but tho aafhor of "Tho Star Spangled Bun uer" formerly lived near this placo, at Pipo Creek. Whilo Francis Scott. Key wroto and published a volume of poems his fame will rest secure on tho merits of tho one matchless national hymn with which his name will be forever associated. Onthe 18thof September, 1814, Fran? cis Scott Key visited tho British fleet, off Fort McHenry, near Baltimore, to arrnngo for an exchange of prisoners and was detained for u time, lost he should report tho preparations then in progress for au attack upon tho fort The "bombs bursting in the uir" which ho saw that night gave him inspiration to compose the poem which has done more to waken u ue patriotism tluui any other which has yet been ?teil. Since his death, in lS-*d, little has been done to honor his memory. Sever nl years ago?about lHiin?an associa? tion was formed at Frederick, Md., to collect funds and erect u suitable nionu t11k fuax? is scott kky okavks. mont, but the approaching civil war prevented its accomplishment. Tho funds then collected wore carefully pro served, however, and iu lH'.M tho Key Monument association was reorganized, and active measures were adopted for the early completion of this long delayed tribute to tho memory of the loved po< t The governor of Maryland has strong? ly indorsed this association anil its plans and has appealed to the governors of all other states to give this work their np proval and assistance. Tho association asks the schools of tho entire country to incorporate somo recognition of the serv? ices of Francis Scott Key in the patri? otic exorcises of Flag day, June 14. and to forward to them small contributions for the monument fnnd. They propose to place tho names of all donors in the crypt of the monument. To assist in such exercises they have prepared a pamphlet containing many interesting things about Francis Scott Key, which may be obtained free by any one who will send a i! cent stamp for postage to the Koy Monument association of Fred? erick, Md. W. H. Breabsley. Tho nnlry Armadillo. ' Villa Hates, Paraguay, May 2.?In all the history of mammalism there is not one so curiously cunning as tho hairy armadillo. It is found all over the val? ley cd' La Plata, in South America. Bo cause of its peculiarly interesting meth? od of obtaining food it is probably the most interesting animal that naturalists seek for. but it is very seldom that an opportunity offers to watch the armadil? lo killing its prey. Recently Mi. "\V. H. Hudson, CM. Z. S.i was favored with stu b mi exam? ple, and it was of such a curious nature that it deserves to be refold. tine day, while hunting up specimens close to Ba hia-Blanca, near Cape Corrientes, in the Argentine Ropublio, his attention was drawn to a peculiar dnol of hissing and grunting, as if a big snake und a hog were in encounter. But it was not so. A small blacksuako, probably three feet long, was ooilcd up on a stone n short distance away. Suddenly a bait y arma? dillo appeared on tho scene and trotted directly toward tho snake. h was then the hissing and snorting began. But the snake, in apparent ter? ror, at once began to glide away. In? stantly the armadillo rushed toward it and squatted upon the snake's body, the sharp shell-like body covering holding the reptile tightly while the process of killing it went on. It happened in this way: The arma? dillo at once set to work to kill or be? numb his victim. He swayed his body backward and forward and sideways "with a regular sawing motion," thus lacerating tho snake at every movement with the keen edges of his bony covi r ing. Tho little snake struggled tobe free nud bit savagely at its aggressor, bnt tho bites made no impression, and very soon tho i>oor reptile gave up the unequal contest, nnd when the arma? dillo ceased his seesaw motion the snake was dead and "very much mangle L" The armadillo at once began to feed upon his dead victim. He took the toil iu his mouth and slowly progressed to? ward tho head; but, finding that about one-third of the snake sufficed his appe? tite, ho left tho remainder and trotted away. Tho peculiarity of this perform? ance was that a moment afterward the naturalists could find no trace of the armadillo. A, R. McCrilus. Ribbons Iimtcad of Cuff ituttoua.

Disappeared From Karth, bat Where Are They Now? i What has become of all the big wheel bicycles that oust $100 and $125 and wore frequently seen on the toads before tho "snfoty" was invented? This is a question that many people have been uskiug in vain. Ask a junkman. Ho will toll yon that a bicyole, no matter how old, is never sold for junk. Ask the bicyclo agent. Ho will tell yon ho doesn't know. Ask tho bicycle rider him solf. Ho will toll you that only now and then is one of thorn to be seen on tho road. In tho secondhand bicycle shops a fow of tho big wheel machines are still to bo seen. They aro the worst kind of a drug on tho market, being offered for $10 and $10, with fow takers. Tho negroes in the south, however, havo boon buying up these machines, which uro just with? in their means, and tho bicyclo craze has struck Blackvillo. Many people think that the big wheel bicycles havo all been made into bird? cages, which have lately boen very cheap. Others believe that they have ! found their way into corsets and crino? line, which uko up a lot of wire. While this may bo true to a small extent it is yet afoot that some parts of the old ma? chines have boon niudo ovor for use in I safety bicycles. Tho hubs could so be usod and parts of tho handle bars. But the rubber tires, tho big backbone, tho littlo hind wheel and othor parts havo been thrown in tho ash heap and are to bo scon here and there rusting in back yards or gathering dust in an attic or Btoreroom.
