When You Wash Your
Hair Don't Use Soap

Most soaps and prepared sham

this is pure and entirely grease

ST. PAThICK'S RETURN
Every True irishman Believes the
Good Saint VIII Go Back to the
Emerald Isle.

ANYONE on the west coast OF Ire
~ land will tell you that some day
st. Patrick is coming back to Ireland
the land he loved No one says when
that day will be. although there Is rea
son to believe that 1t will be on the
day Of the final judgment Of the world
| Whether or not his return Is desir
able depends altogether upon the
point of view of the teller OF the
| prophecy. II he be gloomy pes
simist he is likely to remark that 81
Patrick cant come soon enough, GOO
knows. II he be a cheerful optlmist
he will add, "and may that day be far
although twill be good day when
ever ii comes"
Ireland has a personal regard Tor
St Patrick probably equaled by no
other country in the world in its rela-
ton to patron saint; and 30 1t Is
that the prophesied return Of the mis-
sionary to the isle has had his
toric bearing upon certain OF its char
acteristics and events, 80 that even
the passing OF the home rule bill has
met in certain remote districts or Ire
land with the turn OF phrase, III st.
Patrick came back now, It's the
pleased man he'd be-"
And, indeed, II st. Patrick we're to
return to the island to which he came
so many centuries ago he would find
some marvellous changes wrought by
the early years of the twentieth cen
fury. For Ireland has been passing
through a peaceful revolution and its
results would be even moro apparent
to a watchful patron than they would
be to the average observer.
The revival of the Irish language
has a history of tremendous interest
to the student Of craftsmanship. The
system of summer schools for stu
dents in the districts whore the Irish
language was still living language
has been strikingly successful and has
done much to break down the section
alism OF Ireland
Although the passage Of the home
rule bill through the commons is nomi-
nally the most important event In the
history Of Ireland in the last two dec
AIDES. nevertheless the student OF
Irish history recognizes that the
measure is merely the elimination Of
Ireland's struggle to maintain her ma
tionality. And should st. Patrick
come back to his island he would find
that Ireland had, by remembering
The days of old

her glory and is on the high road to
the throne of the national indepen-
dence and integrity that her children.

as the ideal OF their country's state.

Lack of lmaqination.

After all, it is strange how little real
imagination there is in the world. The
old legends have been the foundation
of much literature and many tales that
are not literature. We do not imagine
any new thing. We only take the le'
gends that have come from the an
cient peoples who lived near chaos
and from the religions older than
Christianity, and dress them up to suit
our purposes, sometimes with passing
skill, It must be owned. How many Of
them came from Gaelic sources 1t
would be hard to tell Now that the
Celtic movement has stimulated inter.

feet on the literature Of the future.

no noise, thus not disturbing the other
games in progress.
On the larger vessels there Is
gymnasium where all sorts of eXer-
else may be taken by the passengers.
1t is under the direction of an athletic
instructor, who will give advice as
TO Just what sort Of exercise each
particular person should have-the
kind of apparatus to use for reducing
flesh and the kind to use for gaining
il. In fact, there is an apparatus to
meet the case of every one on board.
Swimming pools are to be found on
the newer steamers and even swim
ming instructors are provided.
Even Eating is an Amusement
Eating, too, may be classed as an
amusement on shipboard as it seems
to be a continuous performance, for
apart from the regulation breakfast,
luncheon and dinner, beef broth and
sandwiches arc served on deck at
II o'clock in the morning and lemon
ade tea and cake at four in the after
noon. This is the usual order, but
should the passengers desire food or
drink between these hours, the stew
ards will serve them again.
Passengers who suffer from seasick-
ness, or even those who fear 1t, may
have their meals served on deck. The
average traveller eats about twice as
much on board a big liner as he does
at home. and does 1t in many instances
to kill time.
Amusements on ships of different
nationalties vary to suit the taste
Of the passengers. On Spanish ships
dancing is the leading amusement,
and as the style Of dancing requires
a very small space its entire passen-
ger list Is easily accommodated.
The French ships make specially OF
music and the leaders OF their or.

they swore. OF course their income
dwindled, but they sat tight, grimly
maintaining their stand against the
evils of fallen fortunes and speed
mania.
At the reports Of auto brigandage
and tax thieves they shook their gray
heads solemnly and spat sagaciously.

From this reflection they take per-

Edison, the inventor, has been
quoted as saying that little sleep is
necessary, and that the time will come
when mankind will not sleep at all,
and therefore not waste a fourth or
fifth of valuable time in the "a hours
of the day in a condition equivalent
to death. At the moment, OF course.
Mr. Edison was breaking into the role
of the professional humorist. All OF
the things called nature demands rest,
and the most eloquent description OF
misery ever written was that in Mac
BETH" when it was declared that the
murderous thane should sleep no more
that he had murdered sleep. So the
person who fails to have health
full sleep has in one way or another
murdered sleep.
