The change is one which has been urged on the railway authorities for several years pest, Gd was recommended in the re- port of the Duncan Commission in 1926. Difficulty was experienced, however, in convincing the railway officials that the change was desir- able. A few days ago the Provincial Government was requested by the Charlottetown Board oi Trade to take the matter up with the Ben- nett Government, and the result- ing interview with Hon. Dr. Man- ion, Minister oi Railways, has ev- idently been completely satisfac- tory. Congratulations are due to mm. Dr. W. J. P. MacMillan, Act- ing Premier, Hon. John A.

Any- one observing this custom was said to be “going a-mothering" and the day became known es “Mothering mnday." In 1900 1n Philadelphia the first American mother's day was observ- l-‘d on May 10, Miss Anna. Jarvis being the originator of the idea. The United States Congress set the second Sunday in May in be Mother's Day, in keeping with the lmglish custom, and today the an- niversary is thus observed through- out the North American continent. THE JOY OF GARDENS This is an oppomie time to call attention to the valuable asset, sou: to the individual and the com.- nnmity, of well kept lawns and gar- dqms. One home made attractive with flowers will make all the neighbors want in go and do like- wise. and one well kept lawn will org-ate a desire for a whole street of velvety lawns. Little imagination is dialled to prove the effect on a odmuunity where there are a few fifiwer enthusiasts. A place adorn- ed with lawns, shrubs ‘and flowers soils more readily and for a. better price than one where no thought oi: attention has been given w th’ bare unattractive grounds. The materially minded person will oflyoso a place where the house is unded with colourful iiowm u! preference to an equally good piqacc lacking in outside decoration. ‘shrubs and‘ perennials, once pintcd, seldom need any m0" Ii- iéatlon than keeping tho weeds SATURDAY, MAY, l8. 1033- of picasuN. both to the prover-iv own- er and to passers by. ‘first gtrdm- ing brings with it trials and irrita- tions as well as inexpresslble pleasure every one lmowl; but the eflort is well worth while, and on a small scale it is a hobby which every householder can and should participate in.

Of chief importance to serious students is the emphesil which must always be placed on careful and thorough reading. But this is not all. Strange as it may seem, much of the art of reading consists in knowing intuit- ively what not to reed. Modern libraries are so voluminous that one ‘ possibly exhaust even the subjects in which one is most vit- ally interested. Intensive study may be made of a few books judiciously selected, and this is necessary in following a pffluribed court for s which is none other than that of skipping nimbly over unimportant passages. ning about the world with wits’ and have "as many books about" him as he could, that he "might read upon any subject upon which he had a desire for instruction at the time; just as inclination p1 him, which alone would do him any good; better go into company than read a set task." Be prescribed five hours a day reading for s young man, but never failed to insist that books were no substitute for life. His own hardest reading was done before he had passed the age oi eighteen. This laid the foundation m: the astonishing ability by which in lat/er years he was able, as his biographer notes, to "seize at once what was valuable in a book, with- out submitting to the labour oi per- using it from beginning to end." He was, in short, an adept in the art oi "skipping" judiciously, and by this means worked voraciously and intelligently through whole lib- rarics. A strong champion of what we might call the Johnsonian method of boring one's way through Hiera- ture was Robert Louis Stevenson, In writing as in reading Stevenson maintained that the whole art lay in knowing what to omit. "A man who knew how to omit," he says. "would make an Iliad of a daily paper"; and he concludes that the technique of omission. is partial -but of course judicious-blindness. From this premise, says l-iolbrook Jackson in that delightful volume “The Anatomy of Bibliomanis," it would follow that selection alter the book is chosen, as well as before, is essential. He quotes Richardson as saying: “the book that is wise in spots should be read in spots," and that to argue that "every book worth reading is worth handing straight ifpm smothering them. ‘They grow lopidly, increasing in beauty each lea-r.

Napoleon read so fast that s. book lasted him scarcely an hour, and Sydney Smith rapidly that his family laugh- ed "when he shut up a thick quarto as his morning's work, charg- ing him with having looked at it, not read it; but on being cross- cxamined it was found that he knew all that was worth knowing in it." Trevelyan said of Macaulay that he would “take in at a glance" the whole oi a printed page; he mad "faster than other people mer of the Carnegie demonstration skimmed them, and skimmedWhtm as fast as any one else could turn One who had watched Macaulay said "he seemed to read through the skin"; nor was it speed pmggggmg flogging, 11mg m, 0g at the cost oi accurate memory, for he read and remembered everything from “the most detestible trash that ever consumed ink and psper manu- factured for better things," to the noblest oi masterpieces, and locked upon nusquotation ss “a species of minor sacrilege." Others, it must be admitted, were against such furious reading. Laur- ence Sterne L buked those of that “vicious taste, which has crept into thousands," who read “straight ior- wards more in quest of adventures than of deep erudltion and know- ledge." ‘Milton reed “with selection," and “meditnted" on whet he had 9mm“, purpose; but rm. m, "an read, absorbing leisurely, and paus- age Md“, chiefly interested m the ing anon to roll a passage over the enjoyment of good literature’ .n_ palate to taste its full flavour. 0th,!- md 1e“ “duo,” Duct,“ may Charles Lamb even urged that “a b, xmmmmded_ we may be 1m grace" should be said before open- cumng . rebuke 1mm the "db ing some great works, though he em- gon” in swing w. but it m a i“, phasized thcfact that others are of that great readers have usually been "sum quick mtenstp uncommonly skilful in this practice, “pm mcldents- m” u“?

ALBUMIN IN URINE NOT ALWAYS SIGN o!

Rom time to time Physicians have noticed that an apparently healthy individual may have albu- min in the urine at one examination and be free at another, so that it is agreed now that albumin may be in the urine and yet no organic condi- tion exist. What is the cause of albumin in the urine in the healthy individual? Drs. Heber c. Jamieson and John W. Scott, Edmonton, Alberta, state that while certain types of diets and emotional disturbances may be causes, one outstanding cause is the shape of the individual and the kind oi exercise taken. Many persons with albumin in the urine have sway back (lordosis) and when the back gets straightened out by leaning or kneeling forward, there is no albumin in the urine, whereas if they kneel, leaning back- ward, albumin again appears in the urine. ' Drs. Jamieson and Scott describe the test used. The test shows the in- dividuai to be free of albumin when he places the left foot on a chair with his left elbow on his knee rest- ing his chin on his hand/fliers is no trace of albumin after he has remained in this position 15 minu- ics.

Hill 60 (Ottawa Journal) Easter Sunday marked the eigh- teenth anniversary of the first bat- tle of Hill 60, and recalls that in- significant hlllock, whose possession was so desperately disputed in 1915. Formed of the csrth thrown up dur- ing thc excavation of a railway cut- ting and only a hundred yards in total length, this accidental ound by reason of its suitability for ob- scrvation, was once the focus of European attention. After three great craters had been blown by en- gineers the hill was stormed success- fully, but a subsequent concentration cf no fewer than forty-seven Ger- man batteries practically blew the holders from their place. A survivor of the battle tells me that he saw in one of the craters on that day s. small party of two Germans and one British soldier, all three of whom had lost limbs in the bombs ‘ ‘.
