In the center stands a stove shaped like a large box.

In the lower half of this stove is the fire space, adapted to receive huge blocks of wood.

The upper half is an oven.
Against the wall, and not far from the stove, the table stands, and built against the wall at one side of the door, the kitchen closet.

In the farther end of the room are the family beds, usually built into the cabin after the fashion of ships' bunks.

In Abel's cabin there was but one bed, and this of ample breadth to accommodate two.
