A Mansion in Pompeii,

One enters through long vestibule,
on each side of which are several shops,
not connected with the house From
the vestibue, with its mosaic pavement,
one is admitted into large, square
place, called the atrium, which has q
roof over it, with a square hole about
eight feet in the center. In the floor
under the hole, is a square marble basin,
of the same size, called the impluvium,
1t has on one side pretty marble foun-
tain, and water was always playing in
the basin; besides, during rain, the
water also dripped into the impluvium.
This atrium formed the chief source of
light to the front portion of the house,
rs they never had windows opening on
the street.
On each side of the atrium are two or
three little rooms not more than six feet
square. The walls are covered with
frescoes, and the floors are of fine mo-
safes. The ceiling, which has all falleri
in, was of stone, built on the principle
of the arch, and lowered with stucco and
frescoes. 1t seemed queer that they
should have such small bedrooms, but
the Pompcans seemed TO care little
about their sleeping apartments, as they
passed the most of their time in the for
um or larger rooms Of their own house.
The room contained bed, and that
seemed to be all. The walls, against
which the beds were placed, are cut
away n little thus allowing the bed to
be little longerthan the room. These
bedrooms each had door, with
grating over it. to admit the light from
the atrium. The sockets in which the
doors swing are still to be seen in the
marble threshold,
Back of the atrium is large, square
room separating it from the perStilum,
called the tablinum. 1t has mosaic
pavement and fine frescoes on the walls
The use of this room was to receive peo-
pie who had business with the owner.
On each side of the atrium, next to the
slecping-rooms, are two wings or ala,
also with mosaics and frescoes. Back
of the tablinum is the peristilum, COW
cred court similar TO the atrium, only
that the roof is supported by tall col
umns. A marble basin is in the center,
Around this peristilum are small bed
rooms also, and on one side, through n
small passage, is the kitchen, small
yet well-arrangcd apartment. The
most prominent objects are the two
large serpents painted on the walls, rs
the serpent is the protector of hecook-
ing department.
The stoves were always Of brick, and
bad several small places for charcoal,
over which the kettles were placed In
the lower part is n place to store the
coal. On the opposite side of the room
is u brick sink, Going back through
the passage, we 90 into the peristIum
again and through room at the back
of the perisliuni, similar to the tabln-
nm, arriving in large court surround
cd by columns so AS to form poitico.
In tho center of this garden were trees
aud plants, ~ has been proved by
means of the carboni2cd roots of vege.
table matter The entire building has
walls on every side, and the only en-
trance is through the front door. such
n building is but an example of al on
binary dwelling house.
