That alight creature, aaya the llrook- lyu Kagle, baa been held rvapotuiible for dealba and UlneaM-a wherewith It had nothing more to do than the United BUU-a baa to do with brigand age In Morocco. Yet the familiar uewapaper announceiuent, "Killed by a aplder," la before ua again, and we read bow tho Buffering lira. Wllaon, of Knosvllle, died in twenty-four hour aa a roault of a aplder bite, her body being awollen to twice Ita normal alze before aba regained conatiouancaa. If wt art to believe the eutomolog- leal authotitlca in Waablngton, who are paid by the governoiont to know, wt hare only out kind of aplder that la really polaonoua enough to hurt, and that la a little fellow marked with red and black, and not all black, aa the KnoiTllle alarmlata declare. Until laat year the total number of deutha actually traceable to aplder bite In thla country waa one. I'oaalbly It may now be enlarged by two. Wt cling to our auperatltlona and that of the deadllueaa of epider venom la one of them. A aplder hue enough of thla acrid chemical to kill a fly when tbt web la not atrong enough to bold It but the human aubject baa on rarloua occaaiona eometltnea with out knowing It been aubject to ber aurgery without other reault than an Irritation, coiiMlderably leaa than la In flicted by a inoaqulto. When death reaulta from ao alight a cauae It dova not algnlfy that the aplder la dn tiger- oua. It meana that the aubject waa In ao pcrlloua a condition of health that a pin acratch would have aerved a a well to end life aa the aplder'a trifling wound hna done. , Not ninny yenra ngo the tarantula waa regarded aa aure and audden death. The aouthweatern miner who turned In without hla iKwta and found that half a doten of tbeae giant apldera bad got into bed before bint made bla will on becoming cognizant of tbla fact Now be merely brushes them off, usee a little language and goea to aleep again. Even tlie ratile anakt haa bla apologists. And It la well to know these facts, not merely because wt permit aorae useful anlmnla to live who are doing their share to rid us of insect pests, but because we can amble about the world with freer mind than our fath era could who auspected death in every moving form to which they were not accustomed. The spider baa killed, we will aay, two out of the many mllllona of human creatures that have Inhabited this country, and hns destroyed countless boats of flies and moaqultos, bearers of germs which, but for her interference, might bave poisoned 100,000 of us. Observe the spider, then, with equanimity. She will not barm enough to hurt MAKINQ A DREAM USEFUL. All the WaklatT lloara Should Ba Speal la PruBtabU Fnraulta. A. E. Gibson presents an exhaustive analysis of tbe physical and psychical bHals of dreams. lie sums up his views in part ns follows: To sum up tho argument, dream and waking dif fer In degree aud form of manifesta tion only, not In principle and essence. Like wuklng consciousness, dream re veals, but does not create. Tbe same world that surrounds the waking In dividual surrounds tbe dreaming, only tho viewpoints and media of observa tion are changed. As the life experience of an Individ ual In bla waking consciousness re ceives Its character and 'value by and through his power of respouse to en vironment, so In a similar way the value of a dream-depends upon tho power of the ego to respond to con bciouMicss in Its various forms of emo tions, ideas and feelings which consti tute the environments of the subjott Ivo or dream plane. Waking or dream ing the individual Is, or becomes, what he cIioopcs to be at any given moment of bis exlptence. The background for ordinary dreams consists of undigested remnants of wuklng life. Hence ordinary dreams ure merely undigested life, being rondo up by longings, desires, anticipations, idle hopes and miscarried realizations, which, occupying the mind during the day, nre overtaken by sleep before hav ing reached their fruition. Hence the mixture, in most dreams, of the sane and the insane, of truth and delusion. Ou the other hand, the life lived out aud (.Kslmilated In a purposeful exig 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 prevision 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 vlrtuo.
