with the upright ones below the grate,
and thus serve for a draught. A char-
coal fire is made in each grate and is
coaxed into life with a primitive fan of
cock’s feathers. The tea kettle, soup
pot, double boiler, sauce pans, frying
pans and fish kettle all jostle one an-

apertures, each elbowing its neighbor
with the most amiable and unruffled
temper, after the manner of a true
Italian crowd, trying to see which can
get the nearest to the fire without seri-
ously interfering with the respective
boiling, simmering or frying privileges
of the others. They all seem playful
and merry, notwithstanding their
modicum of heat, and always perform
their duty in a most commendable
