The report of the board of health
contains the following information
| from Sondmore, a settlement about
| midway between Bergen and Frond-
hjen: 1.-THE old-fashioned houses are
gradually discarded. They are open
clear to the roof, thru which there is
| an opening for the smoke, the ventila-
ton in such houses is splendid. The
new houses generally contain two
stories with many rooms, only few
of which are used. The family lives
in one of them, and as the cooking is
done In the same room the air is apt
to be foul. Formerly the farmers used
to raise grain which they ground at
home and used 1t for mush and a
flat They did not have so
much milk as now, but they had plenty
for food and drink. Now they produce
more milk, while the grain crop is in
sufficient. They buy rye flour at the
store and make bread (kake) which
is very apt to be poorly made, sour

is taken to the creameries from which
it is returned, deprived of it's fat.
Oleomargarine is used instead Of but
ter Coffee is used more and more ex-
tensively. The effect of this fare is
chronic stomach troubles, poor teeth,
etc. But the people are still strong
and healthy. There are many old per-
sons in this locality. Out of the "a
who died during the year, 48 were over
70 years old. The economical condi-
tons are good, especially in Stranden
commune, where poverty is almost un-
known. The people are economical,
diligent, intelligent we'll educated,
skillful and practical. The emigration
to America is quite heavy, and the
farmers find it difficult to obtain hired
help. But a small part of the emf
grants return with gold in their pock-
ets In this way some poor communi-
ties have become prosperous. In Stran-
den commune there are several men
who have acquired wealth in the gold
| mines of Alaska. The '"Sondmoring"
loves his beautiful native valley and
eagerly returns to make his home there
after having made money in America.
The national feeling is strong. A wo-
man dressed like city lady is looked
upon with contempt, and the gay nat
ional costumes are used on public oc-
casions."
