An unusually large number of cases of
women passing for men have recently been
discovered in Great Britain and France. The
most remarkable for length of time during
which the deception was maintained was
that of n person who, during q voyage from
Franco to the island of Jersey, acted in a
strange manner and finally fell unconscious.
A doctor ound that although dressed as a

therefore worn trousers for forty-two years.
She had for tho greater part of her lifo pur-
sued the calling of a courier, guiding parties
of travellers over all parts of Europe, under
the namo of Louis Herman Tobush. She had
,lonc well at tho business and had n balance
at her bankers. When she was taken sick on

Tho need of material for serviceablo pave
ments is one very widely felt. Inmany cities
asphaltum brought from the famous pitch
lake of Trinidad has been used, being mixed
with a certain amount of calcareous matter
and heated to such a point that it would
harden on cooling. The natural mixture of
limestone and bitumen found in tho deposit
of Val-de-Travers, of which tho French have
so freely and successfully awaited themselves
in the construction Of their pavcnlents, is
thus initiated. The result is a pavement that
resists the action OF air and water for u con-
siderable length of time. A very important
discovery has been made i'll Texas. In Col.
! l.. Tait's trip to the southwest of that
itate he picked up u small piece of dark blue
limestone which, OIL examination, was found
to be impregnated with bitumen in almost
exactly the same proportion as the Val.
de-Travers product, and it was further
found that the quantity available was equal
to any demand that may arise. In addition
to this. many deposits Of bituminous sands or
shnles occur which yield 10 per cent, and
sometimes a larger amount, of bitumen.-

A Queer Pockctbook.

A bright, proud, very pretty young lady,
with n portion of Il bologna sausage clasped
tightly in her gloved left hand, created some
quiet amusement in a Walnut Hill car Thurs
day afternoon. She had run out of Cavagna's
with several parcels in her hand just in time
to cotch a car. Painting, she accepted a seat
rendered her bya great big fellow, who, hap.
,ening to look down, sawthe piece of bologna
in her hand, and had considerable of n time
preventing an explosion. Then the conductor
passed through the car. When he approached
tho young lady the packages were dropped in
her lap and tho right hand reached toward
tho left, her eyes unconsciously following. "A
deep blush spread over her face us she
dropped the bologna. S%pringing up she asked
the conductor to stopthe car, and she alighted.
The big fellow laughed heartier than ever.
In her hurry to catch the Car, while in Ca.
vagna's, after making some purchases, she
hastily picked up what she thought was her
purse 1t proved to be n piece of bologna
sausage lying on the counter, and, never
slancing at it, she hurried off. Tho fire
flashed out of her eyes when she roturned to
Cavagna's for her purse, but not u word of
