And he trudged throughout the woodlands

Whero the scene around him darkened and

But above ruffled red-breast thrilled q

And a sparrow chirped with pleasure as he

According to Prof. Dean c.
Worcester, the houses rest on four
or more heavy timbers which are
firmly set in the ground. The floor
Is raised some five or ten feet from
the ground. The frame is " BAN
boo tied together with rattan and
nails are not used. The sides and
roofs are usually Of palm, and the
former may be made by splitting
green bamboo, binding the halves
fiat and sewing them together. If
palms are scarce, the roof may be
thatched with long grass. The
door is usually made Of bamboo
strips with the convex side up.
They are tied firmly in place IN
such a way that wide cracks are
left between them. The houses are
entered by ladders; in some cases
there is only one room, and the
cooking is done over an open fire
on a heap of earth in one corner,
and as the opening for the exit Of
the smoke is inadequate, the room
il sometimes rendered almost UNI
inhabitable. In the better classes
Of dwellings the house is divided
into several rooms and there j. a
place partitioned of for cooking.
There are windows which are pro-
yided with swinging shades. Prof.
