PAGE OF BRIGHT FEATURES FOR GEORGIAN READERS 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.

With the problems and progresa of the Rnso-Japaneas war and if* consequences our attention has been most absorbed. In the Cast, by the little yellow man. Per- hspa we had better be watching the big one, he Is better worth it. In point of character and morals.

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. ■SUSAN CLEGG TALKS OF ELIJAH DOXEY.
