WOMEN WHO UVZD A3 rVN.
Jfl3tance3 in Which
Was Kept Un For
the Deception
Many Yea re.
Dr. James Br.rry, who Ht-s buried m
i
JCcnsal Grccu Cemetery, was a won
derful instance of accccssfu! coneeol
mint of s1. sa3's tQe I-ondvn TIt-0it3.
At an early age she fell in love with
an array surgeon, to follow whose lor
tunes she assumed the dres of the
opposite sex and entered the pj-niy p.a
hospitu assistant. She displayed such
ability that she ros-e until sho ' was
given the post of Inspeetor-G-enoral of
the Army, Medical Department.
Slight of form ana of dark complex
ion, her general bearing and conver
sation displayed an almost feminine
refinement. A favorite with the men
on account of her humanity, her
quarrelsome temper by no means en
deared her to the officers, and served
her in such bad stead that once site
was obliged to fight a duel, from
which adventure she fortunately erner
ged scatheless. She died in 18G3, at
the age of 70.
; A female soldier who in 1739 was
?burted at Chelsea Hospital with mili
tary honors, was Christian Davis, bet
ter known as Mother Rosa. She served
for 12 years in the Earl of Orkney's
.regiment, being present at the battle
of Dcnowert, where she received a
. musuet ball in her hip, and at the en
gagement of Ramillies, where she was
so badly wounded as to require the at
tendance of a surgeon, by whom her
&ex was discovered. Some while after
this she returned home and received
from the Queen a bounty of 50 and a
pension for life.
To avoid a distasteful marriage,
Sophie Sobine Apitzsch, who was bora
in Lunzenau, in Saxony, in 1692, took
o wearing man's clothes. After several-exciting
adventures she came
across an armorer, one Karl Marlitz
whose name;., having by some means
got possession of his papers, she for
awhile assumed. One day, b.owever,
pn being deflected blowing the horn
a privilege reserved in those days for
such only as were of noMe' btrth Bhe
vaa brought before a Magistrate, a
Certain Herr Volknaan, who forteonje
reason known only to himself, thought
w recognized in the handsome stran
ger the Crown Prince of Saxony.
Shrewd -enough to take advantage of
this mistake Sophie Apitzsch accepted
not only an invitation to the Magis
trates house, but all the costly prus
nts that were showered upon her by
tta. misguided man.
For some considerable while all
Trent wall both with Sophie and her
deluded host, in whose brain the most
ambitious designs for his daughter
Joanna were fast taking shape. But
pueb a gross fraud was bound sooner
or later to be found "but. And found
Out it was, when Sophie Apitzsch,
brought before the authorities to ans
wer for her fraud, could make but a
ame excuse, and was sentenced to be
whipped publicly out of the country
n other words, to be conveyed from
town to town until the frontier was
reached, and flogged publicly in the
jnarket place of ?aoh. This severe
punishment, however, was commuted
to a year's imprisonment, whence So
phie emer2d to disappear into obscu
rity, for of her subquent career his
tory is silent.

New Facts About) Pompeii.
The question whetLci Pompeii
was a seaport in the strict stu:se of
the word, says Harper's Weekly, or
whether it. was separatcu from the
sea by a strip of land, was solved de
facto ta 1 87 9 by a network of
trenches opened by Rurgero across
the disputed district. It was ascer
tained on this occasion that the story
of a three-masted ship, iu fact, of the
flagship of Pliny, ullegid to have
been found near tho farmhouse of
Mesttgua in 1833, was absolutely
groundless. The masts. Been and de
scribed by the naval architect Olua-
eppe NVsri. were simply trunks of
cypress trees.
Many such trunk3 of cypresses
have been found since. They meas

Present Day Honeymoon.
Koeu observers have notel that
newly married couples of moderate
means are beginlng to take a more
sensible view of the honeymoon, and
even wealthy peop!e are showing a
tendency. to limit the wedding tonr to
three or four days in Paris.
Th? old-fashioned idea that a young
married couple must cut themselves
off from their friends and spend more
money than they can afford at expen
sive hotels is gradually giving way to
the more commonseD.se practice of dis
appearing for three or four daya.
Some unconventional ample hare
recently gone so far as to make of
their honeymoon nothing more than a
week end at a popular watering place,
asking their friends to com-e down for
bridge over Sunday. One bride, after
two days' absence from London,
brought her husband back to her par
ents' house and gave a series of
thoatre parties, an innovation which

Muzzled Women of Muscat.
Women oMhe better class in Muscat
all wear muzzles, which barely allow
them to open the mouth or see with
the eye or sneeze.
If there happens to be a Cleopatra
in Muscat she will never fascinate any
Antony by the beauty of her well
shaped nose, for it is kept in a spe
cially made, ugly case, in which it
is impossible to tell its shape. But
with all its fault3 this is a far bet
ter system than that of cutting off
the nose, as men in tho Kangra Dis
trict, in India, are wont to do when
any of their spouses have proved too
fascinating.
