A writer in the Spectator makes a suggestion as to "the cottage of the future." Where several are required he remarks, "I think a new departure should be made in their construction. Ihe great enemy is the sloping roof with the vast quantity of timber it entails. A better way would be to build the cottages two stories high, with fireproof floors and flat roofs, with a very gentle rise in the middle to throw the water off, and a low parapet all round, to be garlanded with wistarias and other climbers, and each upper cottage with a separate entrance, in the Italian way, by means of an outside staircase. In this way we should secure in an inexpensive way cottages fireproof, veimin- . proof, rot-proof, and sanitary. The sloping roof of tiles or slates," unless done m the best way, which a cottage cannot afford, is a continual cause ot trouble and expense. The architects nave a stock saying that there is no such thing as a fireproof building, but the study of Italian and American fireproof buildings would enable us to secure that. Our clumsy ways of buildnig enable the insurance companies to fatten upon us. I never let them into the house or see them." Why be weak and nervous—tone up the system, quiet the nerves.
