Their Bitta Are Bald to Be Far Leas Dangeroua than la Suppoacd. When In doubt, charge It to a spider. That slight creature, says the Brook lyn Eagle, has been held responsible for deaths aud illnesses wherewith It had nothing more to do than the United States has to do with brigand age in Morocco. Yet the familiar newspaper announcement, "Killed by a spider," Is before us again, and we read how the suffering Mrs. Wilson, of Knoxville, died in twenty-four hours as a result of a spider bite, her body being swollen to twice its normal size before she regained consciousness. If we are to believe the entomolog ical authorities in Washington, who are paid by the government to know, we have 'only one kind of spider that Is really poisonous .enough to hurt, and that is a little fellow marked with red and black, and not all black, as the Knoxville alarmists declare. Until last year the total number of deaths actually traceable to spider bites in this country was one. Possibly It may now be enlarged by two. We cling to our superstitions and that of the deadliness of spider venom is one of them. A spider has enough of this acrid chemical to kill a fly when the web is not strong enough to hold It. but the human subject has on various occasions sometimes with out knowing It been subject to her surgery without other result than an Irritation considerably less than is in flicted by a mosquito. When death results from so slight a cause it does not signify that the spider Is danger ous. It means that the subject was in so perilous a condition of health that a pin scratch would have served as well to end life as the spider's trifling wound has done. Not many years ago the tarantula was regarded as sure and sudden death. The southwestern miner who turned In without his boots and found that half a dozen of these giant spiders had got into bed before him made his will on becoming cognizant of this fact Now he merely brushes them off, uses a little language and goes to sleep again. Even the rattle snake has bis apologists. ' And It is well to know these facts, not merely because we permit some useful animals to live who are doing their share to rid us of insect pests, but because we can amble about the world with (reer mind than our fath ers could who suspected death in every moving form to which they were not accustomed. The spider has killed, we will say, two out of the many millions of human creatures that have inhabited this country, and has destroyed countless hosts of flies and mosquitos, bearers of germs which, but for her Interference, might have poisoned 100,000 of us. Observe the spider, then, with equanimity. She will not harm enough to hurt. MAKING A DREAM USEFUL. All the Waking lloara Should Be Spent In Profitable Pnrsulta. A. E. Gibson presents an exhaustive analysis of the physical and psychical basis of dreams. He sums up his views in part as follows: To sum up the argument, dream and waking dif fer in degree and form of manifesta tion only, not In principle and essence. Like waking consciousness, dream re veals, but does not create. The same world that surrounds the waking in dividual surrounds the dreaming, only the viewpoints and media of observa tion are changed. As the life experience of an Individ ual in his waking consciousness re ceives its character and value by and through his power of response to en vironment, so In a similar way the value of a dream depends 'upon the power of the ego to respond to" con sciouhness in its various forms of emo tions, ideas and feelings which consti tute the environments of the subject ive or dream plane. Waking or dream ing the individual is, or becomes, what he chooses to be at any given moment of his existence. The background for ordinary dreams consists of undigested remnants of waking life. Hence ordinary dreams ure merely undigested life, being made up by longings, desires, anticipations, Idle hopes and miscarried realizations, which, occupying the mind during the day, are overtaken by sleep before hav ing reached their fruition. Hence tbe mixture, in most dreams, of the sane and the insane, of truth and delusion. On the other hand, the life lived out and assimilated in a purposeful exist ence becomes absorbed in the forma tion of character and leaves no residue to form the bizarre staging for the confused dream. And to such an In dividual the intuitions of dream life, with their dazzling imagery, will in troduce symbols which, properly Inter preted, may carry the significance of prevteion or prophecy. Therefore, to turn dreams into useful, intelligent and Intelligible factors we must fill our waking life with deeds and thoughts of universal usefulness and freight the train of events with an un flinching devotion to duty and virtue. Medical Record. It is never too late to unmend In the divorce courts. A Natural Remedy. That the remedy Is sometimes worse than the disease Is again shown by an incident chronicled In the New York Times. A prominent politician has a wife who is a model of domestic care fulness. She has a talent for making bread, and takes great pride in having her loaves turn out well. One evening she had set the batch of dough to rise in tbe kitchen and was reading in the parlor, when her G-y car old boy came running to her, crying, I "Mamma, mamma, there's a mouse jumped Into your bread-pan!" The rood woman sprang from her eat "Did you take him out?'! she asked, frantically. "No'm, but I done just as good. I threw the cat In, and she's digging after him to beat the band!" . Christian Science. " In tbe TJaitei States there are about 400 Christian Science churches, with about 100,000 adherents. According to Mrs. Eddy, its founder, the church is making tremendous strides in popular ity, in which respect it resembles Pills bury's Vitos, the popular cereal food. Should Be Dlahed. ' "There are three beautiful words in the English language," said a peraegri nating philosopher as be sipped his morning glass, "that ought to be cross ed out of the dictionary. "The first one Is 'honesty.' No one Is absolutely and perfectly honest. If you give orders to say you are not at home, when you are in and don't want to be disturbed, that isn't quite honest "The second word is 'satisfaction.' No one Is perfectly 'satisfied.' Suppos ing you had, by a long stretch of im agination, $10,000 a year, you would want twenty. "And the third word is that beauti ful monosyyable 'if.' On that I need not comment." Tainted Tin. "Can I get In?" asked the new ar rival. "H-m-m, that depends," replied St Peter, doubtfully. "I never drank, smoked, chewed or swore. I gave everybody a square deal, I " "Cut all that out," was the terse re ply, "and tell me what was your busi ness?" ' "I was an expert accountant" "Sure, you can get in! You're what we have been watching for. You see, we are expecting Rockefeller now at almost any time and all of our account ants are working overtime. We want to be able to hand hlra an itemized statement when he applies for admis sion." "A statement of what he did with his money?" "No; a statement of how he got It." Houston Post Fooling Hnbby. "Let me show you the new novel for married ladies," confided the clerk In the book store. "Novel!" echoed the prospective cus tomer. "Why, that is a cookbook." "No, it is a dashing, hreezy novel with a cookbook cover. You see, when your husband walks In and finds you reading what's apparently a cook book he will feel so tickled he is liable to hand over the price of a new fall hat" Javrbaclc Wins.

It Is calculated that 4,000 persons make a living In London by begging and that their average Income amounts to over $1,500,000 a year. Last year 1,925 persons were arrested for beg ging in the streets, of whom more than 1,500 were sentenced to terms of Im prisonment varying from one week to three months. Many of these objects of charity were found In possession of sums of money and even bank books showing very handsome deposits.
