[A
BAD
BROOM
LEAVES
A
DIRTY
ROOM.]
306.
Wallpaper.
In
choosing
paper
for
a
room,
avoid
that
which
has
a
variety
of
colours,
or
a
large
showy
figure,
as
no
furniture
can
appear
to
advantage
with
such.
Large
figured
papering
makes
a
small
room
look
smaller,
but,
on
the
contrary,
a
paper
covered
with
a
small
pattern
makes
a
room
look
larger,
and
a
striped
paper,
the
stripes
running
from
ceiling
to
floor,
makes
a
low
room
look
higher.

Kitchen
Floors.
The
best
covering
for
a
Kitchen
Floor
is
a
thick
unfigured
oil-cloth,
of
one
colour.
Linoleum
or
kamptulicon
is
warmer
to
the
feet
than
the
ordinary
painted
oilcloth.

Family
Tool
Chests.
Much
inconvenience
and
considerable
expense
might
be
saved
if
it
were
the
general
custom
to
keep
in
every
house
certain
tools
for
the
purpose
of
performing
at
home
what
are
called
small
jobs,
instead
of
being
always
obliged
to
send
for
a
mechanic
and
pay
him
for
executing
little
things
that,
in
most
cases,
could
be
sufficiently
well
done
by
a
man
or
boy
belonging
to
the
family,
if
the
proper
instruments
were
at
hand.
309.
The
Cost
of
these
articles
is
very
trifling,
and
the
advantages
of
having
them
always
in
the
house
are
far
beyond
the
expense.
