In token of Spring cleaning, we dusted great great-grIndfItlier-io- Jamie's picture on I parlor wall this afternoon. still not It all clear of bin attitude towards ul. Whe- ther or not eyes were critical of the housewifery and way: of the present cha-telainu of this old houee of his building at Alderlea, or if they registered I tolerance alone or maybe I hint of approval was only uncertain. In any event he was among the quiet audience en- framed that bore with us silently, when later suspending our work for an interlude. we sat with granddaughter on neighbouring and very neat chair: to look over an accumulation of pictures from the days now long gone.

Bonnetted and gloved, pleasant- faced women. of evident grace and charm. beautifully though quaiutly gowned in the light of present- day fashions; men, dignified in top hats and Sunday broadcloths. and possessed of that considered air of masculinity which belongs to those bygone years. But gal- lant we knew. and most respect- ful of women. We chuckled a bit at one so stern-faced and of such pretentious appearance he could never live outside the picture and granddaughter looked up in won- dcr with the remark: "Have you gone silly? He's not funny at all! He looks like my grandfather when he comes in and the dinners not ready!"

And it came to mind that bless- ed with husbands cut from the web or made in the mould of those in the tintypes or photos. child- rearing would not be the tedious and perplexing problem it has be- come now to mothers. Just a whispered: "Now. I'll remember to tell your father about this!" would. we believe be a magic sci of words to immediately restore law and order, if appearances could be dependable. There would be no occasion for a coaxing: ”Now. dear. will you please pick up your toys?" nor any indiffer- ent shrugging of shoulders, which might mean anything besides, but

t God might have made the earth bring forth Enough for great and small. The oak-tree and the cedar tee. Without a flower at all. He might have made enough, enough For every want of ours; nor luxury. medicine and foil. And yet have made no flowers. Our outward life requirea them not- Then wherefore have they birth? To minister delight to man. To beautify the earth; To comfort man-to whisper hope. When'er his faith is dim. For who so careth for the flowers, Will much more care for Him." -M. Howitt. The hardy flower seeds can be sown whenever the soil is dry enough to work up with the rake and the moisture in the soil helps in the generating of the seeds, my garden diaries show that through the years I have planted and trans- planted all hardy plants in the first few weeks of May. and sown many seeds of the hard flowers. and there are some lovely daffodils and fragrant. Arbis to cheer us in our creating and constructing of R more beautiful garden this year. Lawns should be sown with a good mix- ture of grass seed now. All bare patches can be raked lightly and some good earth added before seed- ing.
Sweet Peas must be sown now D
and earlier than this would have been better, but do not delay if you wish beautiful and strong grow- ing vines,
For-get-me-Not plants have been transplanted to their summer blooming borders in June. A very good rule to follow in transplant- ing is to move nearly blooming plants as early as you can.
In the garden in early spring we are conscious of the bird songs. and shall we say of the music of the birds?
"Sounds of vernal showers
on the trickling grass, Rain-awakened flowers.
All that ever was"
Joyous. and clear. and fresh. their music doth surpass."
Golden Yellow and Arkwright Rluby violas are blooming in the rock garden, fragrant and lov- ly with the evergreen hedge as a background. and this is the time to sow seed of these violas if you wish more of them. they are almost over- blooming plants and every year I plan on several new varieties.

The trailing Arbutus (Eplgaea) commonly called Mayflower is I hardy evergreen plant and blooms as soon as the snow is gone. some- times in April and other years in early May. For many years we have gone picking Mayflower: in a woodsy field near a brook after the long winter it is such a delight to find the rosy pink fragrant flower, I remember the large bowl of these Mayflowers that a neigh- bours girl had placed in the church one evening. and when we consider the time it takes to make up even a. small bouquet of these tiny blooms, we appreciate the thought and care in making a church bouquet fragrant and colorful.

Four new clematis have been re- ceived and are now potted up so that when the weather is warmer they may be planted out in their permament places. These vines are very beautiful and they require a sunny position. sheltered from high wind: and well-drained. The large- flowerod clematis with purple blue flowers is one of the loveliest vines that we have, and Jackmani is the best known and easiest to grow. There is a lovely rose with violet stripes and it bloomed over a very long period last summer. one of the new clematis is named l..awsoni- aria, it is light blue in color and I 11092 it will grow well; there is also 3 Pure White. large and good for cutting by the name of Mrs. Le coultre.

llNl)EllA(7TlVE THYROII) GLAND MAY (IHJSE MENTAL SYMPTOMS
I have written before cf the mental hospital in Ncw Jersey in which the superintendent noticed that a patientiwho had been an in- mate for two years wits able to leave the hospital, cured of her mental symptoms. after the re- moval of several infected teeth The superintendent was so im- pressed by this dramatic cure that he had specialists in the various dt-partments of medicine examine all the patients and rcmove ail infections present and correct any defects The result was that about 4.o per cent of the patients were able to leave the mental hospital for home or business. A condition somewhat similar to the above is reported in "The Brithh Medical Journal" by Dr. R. Asher.
Dr. Asher states that myxedema. the condition in which the thyroid gland is not manufacturing enough thyroid juice, is one of the com- monest causes of mental illness. The usual symptoms of rnyxedema are gain in weight. lack of inter- est in surroundings, moonlike face. conrse features, dry. scaly skin. brittle hair, rough rails. and metabolism test shows that the body proceses are not active en- ough to complete or finish their various jobs throughout the body.
Dr. Asher described 14 patients all of whom had myxedema and mental symptoms, They all showed symptoms of complete insanity. ten having been admitted to the mental observation wards under the Lunacy Act. one to the nerve surgeon for brain tumor, and three to the general wards for other all- merits.
When the thyroid gland is over- active (goiter) the removal of all or most of the thyroid gland is the treatment; and so the body processes do not work too rapidly. In these myxedema cases with mental symptoms. thyroid extract was prescribed to increase the rate at which the body processes worked. There was a dramatic and complete recovery in nine of the cases. a partial improvement to two, no change in one and two died.
These cases were sent to the mental hospital because of mental symptoms and in many of them these mental symptoms were due to can inactive thyroid gland. Phy- sicians and families should keep this fact in mind. We readily recog- nize the symptoms of overactive thyroid-bulging eyes, rapid heart. trembling-but fail to recognize under-active thyroid with over- weight and mental, and physical slugglshness.
