When In doubt, charge It to a aplder.
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.

Is absolutely and perfectly honest If
you give orders to say you are not

want to be dlaturbeJ, that ian't quite

"The second word is 'satisfaction.'
No one la perfectly 'satisfied.' Suppos

want twenty.
"And the third 'word Is that beauti

not comment."
