The Genius Always Is an Impossible
Creature Who Makes Family and
Friends Wretched.


One of the strangest signs of the
times is our universal admiration for
geniuses; yet genius, no matter how
You view him, Is always an impossible
creature. He isn't fit to live with.
II he is so unfortunate as to marry,
he makes life miserable for his family
If he doesn't marry, he is care to
all his friends. And the probability fs
that no one will appreciate him In his
own age. Yet when we hear thai
such and such one is a genius, we
experience an instant feeling of envy
Most Of us would like to be a genius
II we could have, along with it, our
own steady traits. We wouldn't give
up our regular income, but If we could
be genius with it, we should like
it very well.
Lombroso declares that geniuses are
abnormal-degenerate types. Scien.
lists term them in biological words
sports is, they are exceptions
to a rule. They are supposed to sec
things straight, whereas everybody
else is abnormal Bernard Shaw says
that Is what is the matter with him.

Amerlsans Globe rrotters.

There are many American girls
who pride themselves on being globe

One of those experienced girls when

DID AWAY WITH MUCH WORRY
Suggestion Made by Common Sense
Man That Proved EmlnentIy
Practical.

She entered car carrying a huge
bandbox in one hand and a number of
parcels on her other doubled.up arm.
They were unmanagea5le parcels.
Even after the woman got a seat they
kept slipping off her lap at every
lurch of the car and jolted all over the
floor.
When the common sense man had
picked up one particularly refractory
parcel for the third time, he said:
Madame, may ask if you have hat
in that box?"
The woman said she had
Then allow me to suggest" he said.
" that you put it on your head and pack
the small hat you are now wearing
and all your bundles into the box. 1t
is big enough to hold them all"
Resentment at his interference
1ushed across the woman's face, but
Just then two more packages slipped
their mornings, and her expression
changed to gratitude.
Thank you," she said. Then, with
the aid of mirror loaned by a woman
opposite. the transference of hats was
effected, and the woman rode the rest

YOUR OWN LIFE A QUARRY
Out Of It You Are to Mould and chlsel
Character, Said the Poet
Goethe.

1t was Goethe who said: Life is a
quarry" He does not mean the life
outside of yourself He means your
own life, that separate part of Gods
universe over which he has set you
as supreme master, king to rule the
dominion. Goethe says that this life,
your own life, his life, everybody's life,
is quarry. A quarry is a place
where stone is gotten The value OF
O quarry is always in the quality of its
stone. Now life, If it be a quarry, is
simply place containing a something
that is valued, uniformed but with
skill may be wrought into what is val.
liable. The stone from the quarry is
chiselled into form. A greater value
comes from the chiselling Of this
stone. Michael Angeles "Moses" is
witness of what a great artist may dc
with a chisel upon block of marble.
Really, then, If your own life is a
quarry, you yourself must be the art
list, and out of the material of the
quarry you are going to make what is
beautiful and worthful to the world.
Let me complete the entire quotation:
life is a quarry out of which we are
to mould and chisel and complete a
character. John T. Mcfarland.

ceeds Of Picture In Which He
Had Figured.

e. Phillips oppenheim was talking
In New York about literary popularity
Those writer's who are unpopular, "
said Mr.. Oppenheim, "impute all the
big successes to advertising. They
give the author himself no credit; the
credit goes to the publishers adver-
tisements."
Mr.. Oppenheim lighted fresh ciga-
rette.
"And that reminds me, he said,
that reminds me in its absurdity Of
a blacksmith of whom Whistler made
an etching.
"The blacksmith some months later,
came up to town and called at
Whistler's studio in Chelsea.
Hello, blacksmith said Whistles
What brings you here?'
Why said the blacksmith, !

Bent BY the Sun.

The towering Washington monu-
ment, solid as 1t is, cannot resist the
heat of the sun, poured on its south
ern side on a midsummer's day, with
out slight bending of the gigantic
shaft which is rendered percepitible
by means Of copper wire, TIA feet
long, hanging in the center of the
structure, and carrying a plummet
suspended in vessel of water. At
noon in summer the apex of the mon
unent, $50 feet above the ground, is
shifted, by expansion of the stone, a
few hundredths of an inch toward the
north. High winds cause perceptible
motions of the plummet, and in still
weather delicate vibrations of the
crust Of the earth, otherwise upper
ceived, are registered by it.

Which Would You Prefer?

e. Philips Oppenheim, the we'll

less than $25 for Crusoe, but know
novelists whose trash sells in editions
of six figures, and whose incomes per-

here he gives warning as to the indis-

1T is not the aim of this book he
writes. Ito teach persons who should be
under medical treatment to doctor them

medical man to say, and further, IL 1t

have its preparation under his control.
Slight differences in quality and purity
may count for much in cases of acute
disease. differences which might not mat

10 the world the result of his investiga-

which ne held that the chief enemy TO

large intestine, or colon. This organ, by
becoming the breeding place for poison
ols microbes. is the fertile cause for the
debility that comes with old age, and the
death that cuts off many q career whose
normal course is not nearly run.
Having found what he believed to be
the cause for the relatively short period
of the average human life, Prof. Metch-
nikoff set himself to discover the agency
which would effectively combat the de-
structive microbes generated in the large
intestine and thus insure to man the full
quota. of years normally his. This con-
quering agency, he said, he had found in
Exotic acid.
