plates in colors Of two different dwellings o
mode rate cost, are given in perspective with
large sheet Of details and spec. fcations
There il something delightfully."- realistic abou
this method Of presenting architectural work
Not only are the plans and construction Sc
before us, but the houses themselves as the,
actually appear, with their grounds and sur
roundiugs, are depicted in natural shades ant
tints. A full idea is thus gained how the in
tended dwelling will look. In addition to tn
above attractive features, the number con
tains variety of fine engravngs Of cottages
dwellings aud plans, with various other utter
estng subjects, all richly illustrated. Tn
cheapness Of this elegant work is surprisiu
only 10 cents a number, or 81 .5O per year
1t deserves and is said to have large circu
lation.
1. il understood that the selectmen hav
proposed to the government to furnish a ne'
post Office OF convenient and modern arrange
ment for an annual rental of $3.50. and tina
the department off red to accept this provide
it shall include light and heat The select
