A Simple Man : A Great Man We read and hear so much, now days of making fortunes that some of us believe we are rank failures because we cannot clip our share of the golden fleece. Again, we are adjured to lead the simple life and are told that it pays in the end, and that contentment and happiness surely come from a life devoted to a conscientious pursuit of duty. Both bits of advice have become commonplaces and generalities for most of us. So it is pleasing now and then to discover a man who has captured a fortune of happiness, and demonstrates daily that he is happy in distributing his happiness to others. The American Magazine for July details the

story of "Uncle John" Brashear, student of stars, iiszenser of wisdom, recipient of honors from learned societies and institutions, and withal a plain neighborly mechanic who worked for twenty-five years in the rolling-mills of Pittsburg while he studied the lights of the sky and perfected instruments to observe and measure them. Doctor Brashear is a man among men. He had a hobby as a youth. It was to know and study the stars. The grinding toil of the rolling mills could not demolish his ambition and his love. Mr. Brashear did not rail at a fate that kept him tied to the shops; neither did he blame existing social conditions. These were only incidentals to his whole plan of life, namely, to acquire for himself and his neighbors pleasure from the skies. The American prints a letter . from Mr. Charles M. Schwab, paying this tribute : "Perfection without regard to cost and without regard to the labor involved, has been his aim. I have known him at times to get so interested in the struggle for perfection that he would turn out an instrument which in the making cost several times its selling cost. But the results were that he attained happiness and gave the world the fullest possible benefit of his extraordinary scientific knowledge and skill. And is that not, after all, the best use a man can make of great talents?" Mr. Schwab is right in his judgment on Mr. Brashear. Happiness cannot be bought with all

the millions a man can gather. Happiness is ai state of soul which a laborer in blue overalls may possess in measure so abundant that a millionaire in broadcloth is a beggar in comparison. Mr. Brashear,a,life, as sketched in the American, proves again that happiness is "not a purchasable commodity, but is a state of soul which any man may have for the asking and doing. There is the sunshine of contentment in the observation of Mr. Brashear, "If you cannot' get

interested in the world about you, or in other worlds, at least get interested in something. Re

move love and interest from whatever you are

doing, and you have nothing but waste. Some

where beneath the stars there is something that you alone were meant to do. Never rest until you have found what it is."

.Suppose all of us took to heart this bit of philosophy, what a changed world we would pro

duce. Every rag picker, every street cleaner, every trench digger, every mechanic, every clerk, every banker, every writer, every profes

sional man, would go through the day whistling and singing. If he believed his vocation were not the one nature intended him to follow, he would not kick and growl but would spend the evenings at home seeking that thing under the

stars Providence has set aside as his task in life. Mr. Brashear had to go through the fiery furnace of drudgery and toil, but he kept on striving until he found in the stars themselves that thing which he alone was meant to do. A perusal of Mr. Brashear's rise from a laborer to a scientific man of the highest quality is one of the most refreshing, inspiring and thought provoking article we have read in many a month.

Titanic Wheat Swindlers and bunco men seem to believe that farmers and preachers are the most gullible easy marks in the United States. There isn't a preacher in Richmond whose mail is not burdened with get-rich-quick advertisements of sharks and promoters. Rubber plantations, gold and silver mines, real estate propositions, startling inventions, bonds ad stocks are among the baits held out before the preacher. Why swindlers should pick preachers can be explained only on the ground that they believe a minister believes every one is as honest as he is and that no one will take advantage of him. Coming to the farmer, the swindler approaches his victim with a new kind of wheat that will yield a miraculous return. The latest magic wheat is called Titanic. The assertion is made that it is a new variety of wheat discovered in England about four years ago and that a small quantity of seed was brought to the United States by a survivor of the Titanic. The wheat is described as having a high yielding power, the returns reaching as high as 700-fold. Five acres of the wheat are said to be growing in Washington state. The department of agriculture has not been able to obtain full data on the wheat, but it cautions farmers and seed dealers to be on their guard.

Pupils of St Marys Exhibit School Work

Unusual neatness characterizes the exhibit, of work done during the last year by students from the eighth grade of St. Mary's parochial schools. The exhibit is being held in the school building. Ruth Broderick has exceptionally accurate geometry work on exhibition, and her filet crochet work is trim and neat. The needlework of Katherine

Stanton, as well as the quality of her academic work is drawing considerable attention. A well-arraneed theme tablet and a

record of high tests represents the work of Eileen Brokamp. The theme work of Eileen Fitzgibbons shows a command of English exceptional for an eighth grade girl. Exhibit Book Covers. Daintv book covers bear the name

of Edna Ablev. Mario Evans and i

Anna Birck are represented in the exhibit by their crochet and needlework. A stenotyping book belongs to Ellen Brandenburg, which was graded by the Stenotyping company, bears good

grades. Miss Brandenburg is the CrstJ

student from the school who has finished the theory course of stenotyping, which was offered for the first time this vear. Mabel Roser has com

pleted the fist test in this new commercial study with a grade of So. 3 per cent. The work of Lucile Crosby and Mary Mitchell in the first course of commercial bookkeeping is being shown because of Its accuracy and neatness. Writing talent is shown in the work of Ellen McCarthy and Frances Mercurio. Among others whose work bears high marks are Elizabeth Barton, Cecilia Coniff and Marie Smith. The work of Helen Barton and Mary Helen Brandenburg also deserves special mention.

To Preserve Her Hair If women would use an Anti-Septic Oil Shampoo instead of the oapa and shampoos now so commonly used, they would improve rather than injure the delicate hair plants. - The hair plant is an oil plant and to wash it with soaps or shampoos containing free alkali works great injury.
