Let In the Sunshine, and Stir up
the Fire!

Aren not our hotel and clearinghouse
builders overlooking very impor-
tant point in the plans Of their struc-
lures +? Are they not building too
many dark and shady rooms? A
large portion of the patrons Of our ho-
tells and boarding-houses, especially
during the Winter months, are inva-
lids, and persons in feeble health-per-
sons who wish, and are willing to pay
for comfort. The constant complaint
among them is that they are COM
PEELED either to remain shivering in
their rooms or else crowd around the
public fire in Office or parlor. They
say, and very justly, that they want
to be comfortable in their own rooms,
they want sunshine and fire. The ho-
tells and boarding-houses that make
provision to meet these demands
will secure the best class of custom;
while those that do not must be con-
tent with what is left after the others
are filed. 1t is possible to arrange
the plan of almost any building, SO
that most of the rooms will have sun
shine part of the day, Plan your
houses for the lots upon which they
are to be built. Go and watch the
sun; see at what hours it shines in
certain directions, and then build ac-
cordingly. A house arranged to the
best advantage for light and heat upon
one side of the street, will be all wrong
If built upon the other side-rooms
shady and cold. Again we say, plan
your structure for the lot it is to
occupy. The building costs no more,
and will pay far better rents. 1t will
be money in your pocket. Again
many rooms even with the best plan
ming, must have limited amount of
sunshine, and the sunniest rooms
must be unpleasantly cool at certain
hours. Put fiuss in them all. A fue
costs little or nothing. 1t is only
vacant space left in brick wall. II
it is not wanted, it is not in the way;
if it is wanted stove can be quickly
put up. Don't put the stove-pipe hole
away up at the ceiling, making the
room unsightly with unnecessary
yards of expensive pipe. Flues cost
less than pipe, and do not have to
be packed away in the Summer. Let
the fues come down nearly to the
floor so that the pipe may enter di-
rectly from the stove. In the best
rooms put open CRATES, people will pay
for the sight Of an open fire. "Can
you let me have room with fire ?"
"All of our rooms are arranged for
fire, sir; and whenever possible for
sunshine ALSO" Be able to give that
reply to the applicant, and he will
stay with you. He will write to his
friends about your house. They will
come and stop with you, and it will
be money in your purse. Publish these
facts-''fire and sunshine in all the
rooms of the house'-and every steam
er will bring you guests; you cannot
drive them away In erecting build
ings for Office purposes, remember the
same thing. An Office with sunshine
and fire, or with fire, if sunshine is
not possible, is worth more than one
without; will rent for more money
and more readily. Again We say,
build for fire and sunshine 1t will be
money in your purse.

1he Mutual Aid Question Settled
by the Legislature.

On Monday last Judge Dwinelle
rendered decision in the case of the
Mutual Provident Association of San
Francisco, which, had it remained in
force, would have wound up every Mu-
tual Aid Association in the State.
The friends of the Association were
confident that the Supreme Court
would override this decision, but the

NinarOds i'm Council.
A sPoRTsMAN's CoNvoCATIoN, AND THE
AGITATION OF A PROJECT FOR THE
BETTER PROTECTION OF GAME.

From the New Orleans Times, Nov. 28th.l
Pursuant to q call. quite a number of
amateur sportsmen assembled at the
Sportsmen's Depot. No. SIS ST. Charles
street, last evening. Mr.. w. r. B.
Tnrner being invited to the chair, briefly
stated the object of the meeting, which
was to diyise measures for the better
protection of game in this State, which
should be submitted for legislative ac-
ton in January next.
1t ii we'll known that under ti.e Lax
enforcement of the present laws (if n
exist the game has been slaughtered by
professional hunters at all seasons of the
yeaP. The effect of this has been most
disastrous to the stock, and each sue
ceeding year has furnished ample and
convincing proofs that in a short time,
unless some check was administered, the
water fowl, deer, birds, and even the
finny tribe, with which our woods,
swamps and p~rairies have heretofore
ab0unded, would be swept out of exist
enee,
THE MEETING LAST NIGHT.
took hold of the subject with an earnest
purpose to supply a remedy for the ex-
listing evil, and to that end, the game
laws OF other States were consulted with
the view of their a~ffor1ing a basis on
which to construct suitable rules for this
State.
A committee of ten we'll known gen
tlemen was appointed to draft regula-
lions,
AND TO REPORT
at the pext meeting of the association OH
December IL.
a resolution, signed by over one hun
dred members, requesting the New Or
leans and Mobile Railroad Company to-
train from the city every Saturday
q afternoon, at 9 o'clock, during the vim
ter seas8a, for the accommodation of
hunters and fishers, was passed. Thanks
were tendered to DIR. w. r. B. Turner,

A NOVEL IRONING TABLE.-A French
mechanic, resident in Algiers, has re-
Gently invented an ironing table, by
which, after the articles have been
cleansed, steam can be directly applied
during the ironing process, for the pur-
pose Of producing a fine finish. The
ironing table is hollow, of a long, oval
shape, and is composed Of metal. The
surface is slightly curved and is pertor-
ated with numerous small holes. Steam
is conveyed to the interior of the table,
by means of a pipe leading from a gen.
orator placed upon q small furnace, at
which the irons are heated. ThemethOd
Of ironing is conducted as follows: The
article is spread over the table, the key
in the steHm-pipe is opened, and the
steam rushing into the hollow interior
of the table, escapes through the small
holes and penetratps the fabric from be-
low, while the operator is passing the
hot tiat-lr0n I've the upper surface.
This process, it is stated, produces a
very fine steam finish. equal to that of
new goods, and a great saving of time
yer the old methods is effected. The
total cost of the entire apparatus, that
is, a steam generator, a furnace and two
tables, is about $500. 1t may be men
toned that the second table is made of
a shape especially adapted for ironing
pantaIOOns.
