Ignorance and
Attractiveness
By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Dill of Ma, Univenity of f

"Where people wlih to attract," sn
Eighteenth century writer, and a wom
an, says, "they
should always be
linorsnL To
come with a well
Informed mind, la
to come with nn
Inability of ad
mlnlittcrlng to the
vanity of others,
which a sensible
person would si
w a y a wish to
avoid. A woman,
expeclally. If she
hns the mlifor
tune of knowing anything, ahould con
cent It as well as she can. ... It
will only add Injustice to man that
though, to tne larger and more tri
fling part of the box. Imbecility In fe
males Is a great enchantment of their
personal charms, there Is a portion
of them too reasonable, and too well
Informed tnVmselves, to desire any
thing more In woman than Ignorance."
I should hesitate to mnke sucb a
statement myself, but when t shrewd
and Intelligent woman It responsible
for the Idea I can only find confirma
tion of her opinions In my own experi
ence. This tendency of the Intelligent,
clevor end well Informed to mate with
the Ignorant Is, I believe, not cnnllned

Fossils of Ice Age Birds ?
Alexander n. Wet more of the Smith
Ionian Institution.
The bones were found not far be
Oflitn the larfnce of the ground, near
the town of Vero, where svniutlonal
fossil finds a few years ago hinted at
the posilbls exlstenct of men on this
continent during the Ice age or toon
after lit clono, Uoat of tha bird bonet,
being dellrnte, were broken, but Doc
tor Wetrnore bat been ahlt to Identify
4H species by a careful examination
of the fragments,
time Blrde There Now,
Must of the birds are of species
that still fly over rtoiida, though a
part of the collection consliti of birds
that have never been seen In the state
In modern times. They were asso
ciated with the bones of extinct mam
mals such as mammoths, tapirs, an-cli-nt
hones and glyptodona or giant
armadillos.
Blnre the bona bed from which they
were taken shows Indications that It
was an ancient marsh, U Is nnturol
Lima. Peru. Reports of the mas
sacre of a numlier of settlers In the
Taplcbe dlitrlct by the Mayorunas In
dlstis recalled here the strange hlitory
of this lllllo known tribe of "white"
aborigines of the northern tributary
of the Amnion river.
Explorert who have braved the trop
ical Jungle to penetrate the Taplcbe
dlntrlrt hive expressed the belief that
the Mayorunas, who live In a clvlllted
state more advanced than their neigh
bors, the Taguas and Tlcunas, are
llluitrsted In women of superior In
tellect. The explanation, I presume
lies In the vsnlty of human beings
and especially In men. Nothing feeds
a man's vanity more than the feeling
of his stiiierlur knowledge. Ask hi in
for Information which he has at hand,
listen to his tale of adventure, his
accounts of bis Investigations, bis
schemes for Improving economic con
ditions or for reorganizing the gov
ernment snd yon finder him st once,
lie begins to think you a person of
unusual InKlght and perception. The
dumb wife la usually a good listener,
and a clever husband Hkee nothing
better than In fill her with useful In
formation. Nothing so Irritates a
vsln, even though he be an Intelligent,
man, than to he corrected In his state
ments of alleged fnrts, to find some
one who knows more thsn he hlmielf
dues nhout the suhlect which he may
be dlscunslng. It Is for this reason
Hint Ignorance often fascinates,
ehnrma, and Intrlgrjea the man of su
perior training and Intelligence.
It It this weakness In man which
led me to as understanding of Rums'
matrimonial bargain, lie wat I band
tome young fellow, both physically
tnd mentally strong, lie was exceed
InKly well Informed not only upon Isw,
whlcb wat his profession, but upon
i half doten other subjects quite re
mote from legal lore, fie must hive
been very vain, for the woman he
married, though well enough looking,
was Intellectually a total lost. I had
never supposed that outalde of I feeble-minded
asylum, any person could
be quite so dumb as an evening's so
cial Intercourse wltb Mrs. Ilurnt
proved her to be. There could have
been no other reason excepting her
Ignorance which hnd charmed lturns.
