DREAMS AND DREAMERS.
By ELBERT HUBBARD.
There le an Idea In the mlnde of sim
ple people that Insanity la always ac-
companled by violence, ravings nnd
uncouth and dangerous conduct.
Dreams are a temixvrary Insanity—
reason aleepa and the mind roama the
universe, uncurbed and wildly free. On
awakening, for an Inatant, we may not
know where we are, and all things arc
In disorder; but gradually time, loca
tion, slse and correspondences tlnd
their proper place and we are awake.
Should, however, the dreams of the
right continue during the day, when
we are awake and moving about, we
would say the man was Insane. Swe
denborg could become oblivious to
every external thing nnd dream at
will. And to a degree his mind alwaya
dictated the dreams, at least the sub
ject was of his own volltlpn. If It was
necessary to travel or transact busi
ness, the dreams were postponed and
he lived right here on earth, a man of
good Judgment, safe reason and proper
conduct
Unsoundness of mind Is not neces
sarily folly. Across the murky clouds
of madness shoots and gleams at times
the deepest Insight Into the heart of
things. And the fact that Sweden
borg was unbalanced does not warrant
us in rejecting all he said and taught
as faleo and faulty. He was always
well able to take care of himself and to
manage his affairs successfully, even to
printing the books that contain the
record of his ravings. Follow closely
the yves of great Inventors, discover
ers, 'poets and artists, and It will be
found that the world Is debtor to so-
called mad men for many of Its richest
gifts. Few, Indeed, are they who can
burst the bonds of custom and condi
tion, sail out across the unknown seas
and bring us records of the Enchanted
Isles.
And who shall say where originality
ends and Insanity begins? Sweden
borg himself attributed his remarkable
faculties to the development of a sixth
sense, and Intimates that In time all
men will be so equipped. The late Dr.
Richard M. Bucko, It will be remem
bered, wrote a book called "Cosmic
Consciousness," wherein he argued
strongly that a sixth sense was not
only probable, but had actually been
evolved In various Instances.
Death Is as natural as life, and pos
hly Insanity, In some Instances, m
I a plan of nature for sending
searchlight. flash Into the darkness of
futurity. Insane or not, thinking men
everywhere agree that Swedenborg
blessed and benefited the race—prepar
ing the way for the thinkers and the
doers who should come after him.

There ara something like four hundred

hspa we had better be watching the big

In point of character and morals. In

outstrip the Jans, Their tendencies make

comes to those stages of development which

South American Cuckoos and Cow
Birds.
From The Westminster Gaxette.
The anl and gulra are South Ameri
can cuckoos, which have earned no
toriety from the fact that several fe
males combine to lay the eggs In one
nest, taking It In turns, according to
some authorities, to perform the work
of Incubators; but others contend that
this Is left to the kindly offices of the
sun.
As soon, however, as the young
emerge from the shell the females work
with a will to feed the hungry little
mouths, though no mother can tell her
own offspring.
The ’’cow bird” Is one of the “Amer
ican starlings,” and lays Its eggs In
the nest of a tyrant bird. To insure
proper attention for Its offspring the
cow bird takes the precaution to pick
holes In all the eggs of the tyrant bird
before depositing Its own., But If there
Is method In Its nptdness, there also
appears to be madness In its method,
inasmuch as It commonly picks holes
In many of Us own eggs also.

nt in spite of all the trouble
That obscures the tun today
Just remember It wta double.
In tlie ages passed away.
And those wrongs shall all be righted.
Good shall dominate the land.
For the darkness now Is lighted
By the torch In Science’s hand.
Forth from little mote* in Chaos
We have come to what we are.
And no evil force can stay us.
We shall mount from star to star;
We shall break each bond and fetter
That has l*>und us heretofore,
nd the earth Is surely better
Than it svnr nras before.
