its inner arrangements, which includes
all the modern conveniences and COM
forts that can be given a house in the

ments for health and convenience thai
we wished particularly to speak. The
, cellar extends under every square foo
of the structure. The ground floor o
every part is cemented, thus while
, largely preventing dampness renders
! the premises sure against rats. Nea
, the centre stands the heater that give
, warmth to the house.
/ A dumb waiter with screen door
: descends from the kitchen into tn
j, cellar, and is most convenient plac
to put meats, pies, &c. in the Summe
E time. The arr angement of the White
p and Summer kitchens for convenienc
j would at once arrest the eye of an
hOusekeeper. A pump from well {
: good water stands in the wester
n porch. Near this, under the porch,
!. a cemented cistern with capacity c
J. 5000 gallons, enough when filled t
