Pretty Five-Roon Bungalow of Brick.

there are a great many bungalow de- signs which would entirely lose their charm if not dressed in an exterior finish of brickwOrk. Further than the pleasing appearance which is obtained when the house is just finished. the fact that this appearance will remain permanent part of the house for an indefinitely long time with very little attention being paid to it. is an as- Surance which means a great deal to its owner. This is one of the great est recommendations which brick used for house construction can find. When once properly laid a brick wall is a

WHY WOMEN
 WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkhan Medi.
 cine Co.

Women who are well often ask Arc the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. are continually publishing, genuine?" Are they truthful" "Why do women write such letters?"
 In answer we say that never have we published a fictitious letter or name. Never, knowingly, have we published an untruthful letter, or one without the full and written consent of the woman who wrote it. &s--s.--~s-
 The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink ham Vegetable Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and suffering.
 It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from dis placements. inflammation, alteration, irregularities, nervousness, weakness, stomach troubles and from the blues.
 1t is impossible for any woman wio is well and who G>S~SSN has never suffered SgIAFsA\[hp to realize how these M~ A\A poor, suffering wo- men feel when re- f9 VI
 stored to h health; / II their keen desire to AI3 J1 help other women MN kNSS/I who are suffering as ClES <HyllS they did. fS51 Fii,KSSa

There are IS miles of pony tram

one description, more like a summer

This is comparatively modern, Of
course. The oldest building" in the
mine is the Chapel of st. Anthony,
dating from 1891. It contains three
affairs, a pulpit and much statuary, all
deliberately carved out of rock salt.
But services are now held only in the
more modern but equally elaborate

is 80 yards long. Is yards wide and 30
feet high. and is used regularly for
worship.

been effected he visited the church
to see how 1t looked.

Crime Almost Unknown.
The inhabitants of Greenland all
profess Christianity, and they live
quiet, uneventful lives, crime being al.
most unknown in the country. There
Is 20 police force of any kind and
no apparent means Of enforcing the
law, which is administered by the
'bestyrer" in each colony under the
resident inspector of North or South
Greenland and the governor OF the
colony, who is usually resident in Co
penhagen.
The country is liable to sudden, VIC
lent storms, especially those which
come up from the southeast and which
are quite local in their incidence; the
neighborhOOd of the copper mines
seems to be particularly favored BY
the visits Of these violent storms. At
Godthaab last year there was a fall
OF snow Of several inches on August
~. but that was exceptionally early
IN the year for such an occurrence.
At Juliansnaab in October of last year
the water IN the harbor was covered
with sheet Of ice. On the whole the
climate Is very wet; during some sum-
mers 1t rains on nearly every day. The
aurora borealis may be seen on prac-
tically any cloudless night, but it is
only white, not cOlored.
