genius is a superior human machine
He gets a great deal of praise and re-
ward, but in truth he deserves no credit,
for his best work is automatic.
Nothing Is more mechanical than orig
inality.
For the brilliant ideas are never pro-
duced by tiresome effort; they pop up
out of the subconsciousness without any
promptings from US.
Note your own bright inventions. You
have been thinking over matter for
days, until perhaps you have given it up
and put it aside in despair; and then
suddenly, apropos of nothing at all,
while you are boarding street car or
getting your shoes shined. click!-you
have 1.-THE solution flashes full born
into your mind.
You may say it Just came' to you.
Better, it just came Out Of you. For after
your conscious intelligence had chewed
and chewed upon it, you swallowed it, SO
to speak, and it passed down into Your
subconscious intelligence, then was Sdt-
sested and prepared, and when perfected
suddenly reappeared In your conscious
ness, after the manner Of ruminants.
A genius is a person who is endowed
with powerful ,subconscious mill for
grinding out ideas.
He does not necessarily have a trained
mind; he must have a wonderful sub
hind.
The physician who is q genius looks
over the patient and the correct dag
nosis lust comes to him. That is the
genuine God-made doctor. The man.
made product of the schools tries to
pierce the mysteries of life with his bare
brains and stumbles into an inextricable
maze.
The lawyer genius penetrates at once
into the gist of a case. Study and ex-
perience may help him, but nothing can
take the place Of that inward nature
born sharpness of vision.
The literary genius is one to whom the
right word comes" the priest genius is
the one with the X-ray of ethical SYM
pathy. the artist genius Is the worker
whose subconscious soul grasps the truth
Of beauty with unerring taste.
That Is why no genius can explain
himself. Michael Angelo or Conan Doyle
or Paderewski cannot tell how he does
1t. He doesn't know. The great things
he does are non-conSciOus
There is ground for believing that there
is as much difference between the genius
and the common man as there Is be-
tween man and the animals.
Kant says: The greatest discoverer
in the sphere of science differs only in
degree from the ordinary man; the
genius. on the other hand. differs spe-
cifically.'

Value of Neatness.
From the Philadelphia Press.


The fixed habit of presenting always a
neat and cleanly appearance to the world
is sure of a double reward. 1t not only
creates favorable impression, but be-
gets a sustaining self-respect It is
scarcely reasonable of q man who does
not respect himself to look for much
consideration from others. 1t is not the
cost of clothing. but the scrupulous care
of it that counts. The man of slender
means should be neither 'toppy" nor
SLOPPY but always tidy and neat in
his attire, seeing himself with the cOldly
critical eye of IL possible employer, who
is bound to remark the significance Of a
soiled shirt front, wiited collar, end to

Style in writing, as defined by the s.
tidious Chesterfield. is the dress of
thoughts so the true style of the aver &c
man may be correctly sur,nised from the
care he takes Of his personal appearance.
He needs not be f1nicky, but should al
ways be free Of grease spots and dust; he
should like his bath even If it has to be
taken by means of bucket: &c should
never neglect to brush his hair, his shoes,
his teeth, his coat, trousers and hat: II
he can't afford a pressing iron he should
