DREAMS AND DREAMERS.
By ELBERT HUBBARD.
There la an Idea In the minds of sim
ple people Ihat Insanity la always ac
companied by violence, ravings and
uncouth and dangerous conduct.
Dreams are a temporary Insanity-
reason sleeps and the mind roams the
universe, uncurbed and wildly free. On
awakening, for an Instant, we may not
know where we are, and all things are
In disorder; but gradually time, loca
tion, else and correspondences And
their proper place and we ore awake.
Hhould, however, the dreams of the
night 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 and dream at
will. And to a degree his mind always
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.
Unaoundnesa 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 doss not warrant
tts lr
well able to take care of himself and to
manage hla affairs successfully, even to
printing the books that contain the
record of his ravings. Follow closely
the lives 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 rscords 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. Bucke, It wilt be remem
bered, wrote a book called "Cosmic
Consciousness," wherein he argued
strongly that a sixth asnse was not
only probable, but had actually been
evolved In various Instances.
Death Is as natural as life, and pos
sibly Insanity, In some Instances, may
be a plan of nature for sending a
searchlight flash Into the darkness of
futurity. Insane or not, thinking men
everywhere agree that Swedenborg
blossed and benefited the race—prepar
ing the way for the thinkers and the

South American Cuckoos and Cow
Birds.
From The Westminster Gasette.
The anl and gufrs are South Ameri
can cuckoos, which have earned no
toriety from the fact that several fe
male, combine to lay the eggs In one
near, taking It In turns, according to
some authorities, to perform the work
of Incubators; but others contend that
this la left to the kindly offices of the
sun. V
As soon, however, its the young
emerge from the shell the females work
with a will to feed the hungry little
mouths, though no piother can tell her
own offspring. .
The "cow bird” Is one of the "Amer
ican starlings,” and lays Ita eggs In
the neat of a tyrant bird. To insure
proper attention for Ita 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 to Its madness, there also
appears to he inadqess In lie method,
Inasmuch ae It commonly picks holes
In many of Its own eggs also.
