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 SOME ECHOES OF THE ADVENT OF THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN “Has Backbone." From The Hoganavllle News. The Atlanta Georgian, John Temple Graves' new paper, has backbone. It iionable prints no queath advertising of .... qtiesth any kind.

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.
