When dogs are kept in the house a portion of the divan belongs to them, and among the Mangoons there is a table in the center specially reserved for feeding the dogs.
I found the floors of clay, smooth and hard.

Near the fire-place a little fire of charcoal is kept constantly burning in a shallow hole.
Pipes are lighted at this fire, and small things can be warmed over it.

Household articles were hung upon the rafters and cross beams, and there was generally a closet for table ware and other valuables.

The cross-beams were sufficiently close to afford stowage room for considerable property.

Fish-nets, sledges, and canoes were the most bulky articles I saw there.
Part of one wall was reserved for religious purposes, and covered with bear-skulls and bones, horse-hair, wooden idols, and pieces of colored cloth.
