Living Out of Doors.
(Home and Farm.)

tHome and Farm.)
A recent writer for an Easter,
magazine says that he has been i,
forty-six States of this country, ant
he thinks the people of Texas hav,
found the best way to adapt thei,
houses to their climate. In Texas
he says, you see great many houses
built, so to speak, in two pieces
These pieces are twenty or thirty
feet apart. One roof covers the two
houses and the open space between.
1t Is easy enough to arrange mating
or sail-cloth which will cut off any
untoWard blast Of air. Then you lay
floor over the space berween the
houses and you have a third house in
the open air. You can swing a ham
mock at night there or you can do
whatever you please in that open
air space. In Texas, he says, be-
cause of the climate, you can spend
three-fourths of the time in the open
air between January and December
81.
The disposition to live out of doors
Increases. The people live indoors
because they are more comfortable
there. If they can have comfort
and outdoor air they will take it in
ever-increasing numbers. The air
we breathe has as much influence
upon the condition of the body as
upon the food we eat. The air Of
every house is more or less impaired. |.
There was time when we all tried !
to shut night air out of houses, but
night air is the only air we can get
at night, SO we had just as well open
our windows to it under ordinary
If we live in Texas, as
he writer quoted says, we can get
air most of the time, if not
n the houses, then by lying out of
loOrs.
The house described is much like
ONE of the early houses of Ken
ucky: First, square house of logs, !
hen at little distance another !
quare house of logs, then porch {
r roof connecting the two, but tie ,
Innate of Kentucky in the winter s
t times makes this intervening
pace of little value except on bright '
ays. But it is mighty comfort c
bic kind Of house anywhere, and |
'e are glad to see that it impressed t
he visitors to Texas.
