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. Yours very truly ,

u DEAR MRS. PINKHAM : For over two years
I suffered more than tongue can express with
kidney and bladder trouble. My physician pro
nounced my trouble catarrh of the bladder ,
caused by displacement of the womb. I had. a
frequent desire to urinate , and ifc was very pain
ful , and lumps of blood would pass "with the
urtne. Also had backache very often.
" After writing to you , and receiving your
reply to my letter , I followed your advice , and
fet-l that you and iLydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound have cured me. The
medicine drew my womb into its proper
place , and then I was well. I never feel
any pain now , and can do my housework
with ease. " MRS. ALICE LAMON , Kincaid , Miss.

A QUAINT JAPANESE DWELLINa
Btone Lanterns from n Japanese Tem
ple L.iulit the Garden.
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.

A Dcntist'H Advice.
Toledo , Ohio , Jan. 25th. Mr. Harry
L. 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. "
MATTER OF TASTE
Kittic Paul told me last evening
I was the ptetthsb pill he ever saw.
" Bessie Oh. thal's nothing ; he
said the same to me last } ear.

Peruna occupies a unique position in
