The Pallet Rooms In Homes Entirely
Devoid Of Furniture.
sFurniture is quite unknown In

wife of the Danish governor of Green
land. Anna Bistrup, in an article on
.Eskimo Women In Greeland" In the
Century.
'The houses Of the Eskimos are oil
built of s;,ne and turf, with the win
dows opening toward the sun, the one
entrance always being on the side tnat
is least exposed to the wind. Along
the back wall runs platform, a pallet
of boards, raised eighteen inches above
the floor. 1t Is from six to eight feet
deep, and through its whole length It
is divided into rooms or spaces OF
eight or ten feet. Each room Is sepa-
rated from the neighboring room by o
partition Of board or skin. An open
passage runs the whole length OF the
house along the pallet rooms ana
serves for the traffic of all the inmates,
but each pallet room claims for its
own the bit Of passageway adjoining
Zach pallet room Is occupied by one
family, and there they stay night and
day. The best pallet room Is the In
nermost and is always occupied by the
owner of the house or the Oldest II the
house has more than one owner"
