WHERE AND How TO BUILD HousEs.-Dr.
Bowditch, of Boston in an article on con
sumption published in the Atlantic Monthly
says:
Build your houses in the country, in pref
erence to any place near the sea coast. In
the country choose slope rather than a
plain to build upon, and where the sun can
have full access to it, if possible, all the day.
Be sure (if need be; by efectual sub drain
age that the soil is thoroughly permeable
to water Let no moisture from the soil, from
any source, be permitted to di>ti its perni
cious influences upon the future dwelling
or its inmates. Let the rooms be large, OF
substantial breadth rather than height and
so pierced by windows that the air may have
a bounteous and free entrance and exit
Let freplaces be built in every room and
chamber-freplaces made for real use, not
kept for show, and not closed with iron
plates which are to be pierced with air tight
stoves. Eschew all furnace heat except for
warming the entries and corridors. Out
side the house let there be ample space for
air and sunlight. One or two trees may be
permitted to grow near the house, but not to
overshadow it, for nothing but evil comes
from too much shade either of trees or twin
ing vines.
