Hours Of Torture,

In the last great day, when judg.

fate of the man who invented ths
third-class carriage upon French rail.
ways. The steerage of vessel is par,
adise compared to these instruments
of torture, writes an American travel
ing abroad.
To begin with, the compartment car
could only have been created in
country where there are classes The
long, open, social, CHEEKY, American
car is too democratic even for demo
cratic France. All castes may travel
on the same train, but there must be
opportunity for the noble and the rich
bourgeolse to exclude themselves from
those who, by reason of poverty or
vulgarity, are offensive to them.
In France third-class apartments
are the most uncomfortable of plank
seats and hacks, and the omnibus"
train is one which stops at every sta.
tion. Two seats run crosswise of the
car. You face the passengers on the
other seat, and whether your vis-a-vis

woman you are constantly in peril OF
being accused of pedal familiarity
Of which you are wholly innocent.
