the coat of construction of his oottages as low as possible,
Mr. Nicoll has adopted several contrivances, by which
he materially reduces the amount of jainer's and glazier's
work. By an application also of the forms of flue per-
fected by Mr. Isougles Gallon, C.D., nod General Morin,
be mums a very satisfactory mode of economising fuel,
at the same time providing increased warmth and
ventilation, together with a hot air c'oset for drying
clothes. The value of a dry air closet of this kind,
which enables a labourer to dry his working clothes
thoroughly, and so ward off rheumatism, and its attend-
ant evils, is very great. It is gratifying to learn that
upon Mr. NioolDs plan, which we have just described, a
oottege with a living room and three heirlooms of ample
size, and fulfilling all the requirements of health,
demos", and comfort, cant be built for 035. Such a
cottage being of greet strength, and proof against both
fire and damp, no appreciable stun need be calculated
tux it as necessary for tepairs. A riot, therefore, of
is. ill. a week, or £3 Mc • year, would pay within a
fraction of 5 pet cent per sithunt—whioh, upon the
assumption that the building is Lund to be as durable
as alleged, may fairly be considered a fell return for the
eapital of £B5 invested in its erection. Cottamm having
butane bedroom, and others having two bedrooms only,
are often wanted upon an eatate, for the u.s of the aged,
or for couples having no children, in certain proportions
to cottages basing three bedrooms—as pointed out by
Dr. Minter in his report to the medical oldster of the
Privy Council, to which we have already referred. Such
cottages can be erected upon Mr: hilooll's plan—the
cost of the first being £5O, and of the abound ; upon
which the rent of Is. and Is. 3d. a week rtsomulvelT,
would pay an int:west of 5 per eent.—Chamters s
