Became Violently Insane.

Mrs. Frederick Menge was found at S02 o
street northwest by the police yesterday in an
insane condition, and begged to be taken away,
saying her husband had beaten and abused her.
She was taken to the Emergency Hospital, and
DR.. Woodward finding her violently insane,
she was removed to the Hope and Help Mission,
and there made two attempts on her life, one
by throwing herself out Of the third-story win
dow and one with q knife. These attempts
were checked and she was sent back to the
Emergency Hospital, where she WINS pinced in q
strong room. Here she was visited BY her hus-
band, who was affectionateiy received by her,
and then she attempted to choke him. Mr..
Menge denies that he has ill-treated her, and
states that her troubles are due to sickness. a

TREAcHERY OF KINGS.

Who Killed Their Architects for Fear
Other Monarchs Should Employ Them.
Noman-al-Aouar, an Arabian king
who reigned long, long ago at Hirah,
commanded the architect Sennemar to
build him wondrous palace. This the
architect did, and when it was done a
single stone fastened the whole struc-
ture and the colors of the walls changed
frequently during the day. The king
was greatly pleased and showered all
KINDS of rich gifts upon the builder
with the lavishness of oriental kings.
But monarchs were treacherous in those
old days, and it occurred to the king
that Sennemar might build a palace
equal in beauty, or even superior, for
some rival ruler. The more he thought
over it the more jealous he became, un-
til one day he ordered the architect to
be thrown from the top of the palace, to
make certain that no duplicate palace
would be made. After this the king
was satisfied that his palace was the
only one and the Arabians regarded it
as one of the wonders of the world.
This old story is told by the historian
D'Herbelst, but another and similar one
is related by an Irish writer. If they
are both true it proves that kings were
equally treacherous all the world over.
Ever SO long ago an African colony
resided in the north of Ireland, and
Neimheidh, a ruler who came there
with his people, selected four of them to
build for him. This potentate was
rather extravaganza, for ne wanted two
palaces. However, these were built,
and magnificent buildings they were,
too. Neimheidh, being twice as lavish
in palaces as the Arabian king, was
twice as jealous for fear some one else
would equal him, and so upon the day
after the African artisans had completed
the palaces the poor men were disposed
of in as cruel manner as Sennemar.
1t is to be hoped that other architects
firmly but positively refused after these
incidents to work for the kings and
to make their escape without
trouble. Lessons like these should have
been taken TO heart.

NEW KIND OF HORSESHOE.
Cork Held In Position by Sheet-Iron Plates
to Prevent Slipping.

Cork Held In Position by Sheet-Iron Plates
to Prevent Slipping.
The London General Omnibus Com
pany is about to make through trial
of an improved horseshoe, which is said
to have been subjected to severe tests
on the European continent with very
satisfactory results, says the New York
Post. The idea, which is the invention
of a Frenchman named Pigot, is very
nipple one, consisting merely of the
king to the under part of the sh. e
swo strips of cork, one on each F de.
he cork strips" says printed de-
.srip5ion, care held in position by two
very thin sheet-iron plates Idr1nly fas-
tened together by rivety The outer
edges of these plates are slipped be-
tween the shoe and the hoof The inner
edges are turned upward, forming
hanges, between which and the inner
edge of the shoe the cork blocks are
tightly fixed Between these hanges is
fitted screwed bolt with nuts at either
end so that when the nuts are tightly
screwed against the flanges the whole
is perfectly immovable. In order to
hold the cork still frmer in position, the
corners of the fanges are turned down
over it, thus forming couple of sockets
to which the cork, which at first
rhtly projects over the surface of the
:, is jammed and compressed more
ly every day by the weight of the
T." These shoes are said to enable
orse to obtain such a grip upon
5pery surface that slipping is almost
impossible and straining is greatly di-
minished. The Brussels Tramvsay Com
pany, after trying them for six months,
has adopted them for general use. The
extra expense is estimated at $3.50 a
year for each horse, against which must
be put a saving on the wearing of the
shoe and prolongation of the life of
the animal
