She thinks woman's safeguard is Ldia E Pinkham s Veetable Comound * j\Ijis. \ Pi2CKriA3i : Ignorance and neglect are the cause of untold female suffering- , not only with the laws of health but with the chance of a cure. I did not heed the warnings of headaches , organic pains , and general weariness , until I was well nigh prostrated. I knew I had to do something. Happily I did the right thing. I took ! Lydia E. Piiilcham's Vegetable Compound faithfully , according to directions , and was rewarded in a few weeks to find that my aches and pains dis appeared , and I a'jain felt the glow of health through my body. Since I have been well I have been more careful , I have also advised a number of my sick friends to take Iiydia JS. Pinkhani's Vegetable Com pound , and they have never had reason to be sorry.

One of the oddest residences ever built in this vicinity , perhaps , is that now almost ready for occupancy In Prospect Park South , a suburb of Brookljii , which already boasts of many dwellings of original design , Bays the New York Evening Telegram. The latesc addition is a Japanese house which has been built by Dean Alvord. Everything about the house is sug gestive of the kingdom of the Mikado , and in order to carry out his plan Mr. Alvord employed a Japanese con tractor , a Japanese gardener , and a Japanese decorator. The house stands on a slight eminence , not far from the Brighton Beach railroad , and attracts much attention from passengers in the trains. There are no houses within a considerable distance of it , and in consequence the full beauty of the structure can be seen by pnssi-rsby. It is three stories high , and cover ? a. large plot of ground. The rjof ; u.l cornice are of pagoda de iirn , and pro ject eight feet uoyond the sd. : walls. They overhang at the set-ond > tory a balcony which runs entirely around the house. The roof and balcony aie supported by more than 1.000 bnu-kt'ts. end more than eight miles of lineal feet of material have been used in the cornices and out > ide trim. From the upturned corners of I In * roof hang electric lanterns for the pui- pose of exterior illumination and quaint stone lanterns from a Japanese temple give light * to a garden , which is also of Japanese design. Small trees and shrubs dot the front- lawn and the garden , and directly in front of the main entrance i.i a Japanese- sun booth. The Oriental effect is also carried into the interior of the houte. There is a large living hall , wilh ceiling panels hand painted ' in Japanese designs. There are irises , peonies and storks among the designs. In the n om there is a great fireplace and mantel , with carved head. The parlor is decorated \\ith white mahogany panels and wood ceiling. Sijrris Are Old. The custom of marking a business house by means of a sign is of very ancient origin. In the great ciHes of the east and among the ancient Egyp tians such a practice must have been unnecessary , as all trades were classi fied and confined to certain sections of the city , and then all wares were ex posed to full view , as they were dis played in open booths. The history of Grecian sign-boards is meager , yet the allusions of Aristo phanes and Lucian to sign-boards war rant our belief in their use by the Greeks. Athena ens tells us , "He hung the well-known sign in front of his house. " Advancing to Roman times , there is abundant evidence of signs , as the dis coveries of Pompeii and Herculaneum amply testify. In the Eternal City some of the streets derived their names from signs ; just as hundreds of Lon don streets have been so named. The Roman street "Yicus Ursi Pileati" was named from the sign , for , as the name indicates , it was the street of "The Bear with the Hat on. " But itwas not until late in the fifteenth century that the custom gained a footing in Eng land , first of all among the taverns anJ ale-houses. Later came the necessity of distinguishing between certain shops , brought about by the fact that the houses were not numbered , and the people could not read word-signs even if tliey had been lettered in gold.

Lewis , Dentist , COT Sumit street , this city , says : "I certainly advise any one , no matter how severe they may have Kidney Trouble , to take Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I was troubled with Kidney Disease for several years and Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me. I had used many so- called remedies without any benefit. Four months ago , I was fiat on my back with this painfnl trouble and must say that I almost gave up hopes of ever getting any better. Through a friend's advice I purchased six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills. "At first I could see but little benefit , but after two weeks. I could see an im provement. I had been getting up sev eral times at night and pains in my back were very severe. When I had taken six boxes I felt better than 1 had for years. The pain had all gone : jnd I didn't have to get up during the night at all. I continued the treatment until I had used several more boxes , and now I am glad to say that I am completely cured.
