The Future Residence.

Bellamy, In his novel, entitled "Look-
ing Backward" suggested an idea that
has put people to thinking; not only
thinking, but acting, and already
''Bellamy Houses" are in "full swim''
In some of our cities. A Columbus
paper, to-day, says house of this kind
will soon be blooming In that city, and
when the craze once gets in proper mo-
ton we would not be surprised to see
the whirl Of dreamy imagination recent
ly depicted in Looking Backward
bring forth q radical change in our
mode Of living. OF course everybody
has read Looking Backward" We
haven't; but that's no criterion to 60
by; yet we have got on to the Bellamy
idea of housekeeping, and 1t strikes
favorably. Residences are built In
"nests'' or "fianges"-ten, fiften, twen-
ty or fifty, with building in the GEN.
ter where all the domestic work is
done-the kitchen, laundry and store
house. This is under distinct manage
ment, and it is said, by this manner,
people can live better and cheaper, and
not be annoyed with help, which now,
to some extent, is the bane of house
keeping.
Say ten young men want to get mar
ried-perhaps they don't-but suppose
case. Say they put in So, 900 apiece
S2O, 600, that would build quite an i'm
posing structure in Napoleon. would
contain ten elegant living apartments,
and q building in the center, where all
the work could be done, and from
which they would receive their meals
and laundry. A common dining room
could be used, or meals sent to their
apartments, as the kitchen is so ar
ranged as to be of easy access to all.
Where the cooking is all done at one
place, there is less work, and it requires
less help, besides there is big saving by
buying in quantity. 1t is upon the
rame principle that whi lie a boarding
house keeper would soon be a bankrupt
with five boarders, he could lay UP
money and buy farm with twenty-if
ne wanted to. Then the great saving
IN help is another important item; and
still greater, the annoyance in this di-
rection only strikes the boss of the
kitchen. An eastern writer says: "By
The nest plan people can live for one
half cheaper and two thirds better.n
Let's all sell out, build "nest," hire
some fellow for cook-then Look Back

generations.

The citizens of Columbus. Ga, had a
