matters but little where it is placed,

One thing beware Of, viz, small
/ low chambers. All rooms occupied
/ for sleeping apartments should
be large ana airy. For this reason
The chambers should BE up square, and
mol low and sloping, as they are in all

At the top, and the rooms are wortl
FIVE times as much as the old fashion
cd, low chambers
The pantry should be large cnougl
to keep -four, meal anl such things in
instead OF keeping them in some out
building, or IN the chambers, as most
people used to do, thereby making /
vast amount Of unnecessary traye
