Boat Train to Paris FEATURES BEIGE «
Goes 95 Miles an Hour
Paris.—The first steps to cut down
the tedious railroad trip from Cher-
bourg to Paris, which tens of thou-
sands of newly arrived Americans are
forced to‘ undergo every year, was
taken by the French state lines, which
ran an experimental train over the
231 mile course in three hours and
eighteen minutes.
The trial train, drawn by a special
high-powered locomotive and enjoying
the privilege of clear tracks, averaged
70 miles per hour, sometimes attain-
ing a speed of 95 miles an hour,

that have never been seen in the state
in modern times. They were asso-

Since the bone bed from which they

“Where people wish to attract,” an
Eighteenth century writer, and a wom-
an, says, “they
should always be
ignorant. To
come with a well
informed mind, is
to come with an
inability of ad-
ministering to the
vanity of others,
which a sensible
person would al-
ways wish to
avoid. A woman,
especially, if she
has the misfor-
tune of knowing anything, should con-
ceal it as well as she can. . . . It
will only add injustice to man that
though, te the larger and more tri-
fling part of the sex, imbecility in fe-
males is a great enchantment of their
personal charms, there is a portion
of them too reasonable, and too well
informed themselves, to desire any-
thing more in woman than ignorance.”
I should hesitate to make such a
statement myself, but when a shrewd
and intelligent woman is responsible
for the idea I can only find confirma-
tion of her opinions in my own experi-
ence. This tendency of the intelligent,
clever and well informed to mate wtth
the ignorant is, I believe, not confined
to my own sex. I have often seen {t
illustrated in women of superior in-
tellect. The explanation, I presume
lies in the vanity of human beings
and especially in men. Nothing feeds
a man’s vanity more than the feeling
of his superior knowledge. Ask him
for information which he has at hand,
| accounts of his
listen to his tale of adventure, his
investigations, his
schemes for improving economic con-
ditions or for reorganizing the gov-
| ernment and you flatter him at onee.
He begins to think you a person of
unusual insight and perception, The
dumb wife is usually a good listener,
and a clever husband likes nothing
better than to fill her with useful in-
formation. Nothing so irritates a
vain, even though he be an intelligent,
man, than to be corrected in his state-
ments of alleged facts, to find some
one who knows more than he himself
does about the subject which he may
be discussing. It is for this reason
that ignorance often fascinates,
charms, and intrigues the man of su-
perior training and intelligence.
It is this weakness in man which
led me to an understanding of Burns’
matrimonial bargain. He was a hand-
some young fellow, both physically
and mentally strong. He was exceed-
ingly well informed not only upon law,
which was his profession, but upon
a half dozen other subjects quite re-
mote from legal lore. He must have
been very vain, for the woman he
married, though well enough looking,
was intellectually a total loss. I had
never supposed that outside of a fee-
ble-minded asylum, any person could
be quite so dumb as an evening’s so-
cial intercourse with Mrs. Jurns
proved her to be. There could have
been no other reason excepting her
ignorance which had charmed Burns.
