Good coiors for Houses.

It Il not generally known-not even
among painters-why certain tints and
co1ors wear much better than others on
houses, and the knowledge of just what
tints are best to use is, therefore, rather
hazy.
One writer on paints, in a recent book,
says that experiments seem to show that
those colors which resist or turn back
the heat rays of the sun, will protect a
house better than those which allow these
rays to pass through the film.
Thus red is good color because it
turns back, or reflects the red rays, and
the red rays are the hot rays.
In general, therefore, the warm tones
are good and the cold tones are poor, so
far as wear is concerned. In choosing
the color of paint for your house, select
reds, browns, grays and olives, which,
considering the various tones these tints
will produce, will give wide range from
which to choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellows (like lemon), cold greens (like
grass green, etc.), and the blues
1t must be understood that no virtue
is claimed for tints in themselves. ire
spective of the materials used in the
paint. Any color will fade. and the paint
will scale off, if adulterated white lead
or canned paint is used. but If one is
careful to use the best white lead-some
well-known brand of a reliable manufac-
turer-and genuine linseed oil, the warm
tints mentioned above will outwear the
same material tinted with the cold colors.

Long Career Of Crime.

Long Career Of Crime.
He was used to that sort OF life by
this time: and he was unused TO any
other kind. save existence In a pov.
erty-strlcken home. Thereafter one
ofiensc succeeded another. He stole
horse and buggy. and served re-

Charlestown: he embezzled $3.50 and
returned to charlestown for two years
more. Later he entered house In
Manchester. y. H.. and stole SIT. For
this crime he spent three years In the
New Hampshire state prison. He was
now j2 years old. his terms of con.
iinement aggregated % years. and he
was known as an habitual criminal.
Stcarns Kendall Abbott was In Gro
ton on the 18th of January, 1880. He
was only month and half out OF
Concord prison. and presumably was
trying to obtain employment as n
wood carver. This was his trade
his prison taught trade-and he was
a capable man. He called ut several
houses and explained ta-onc man thas

others-that he wished to purchase

the crime. He said that he had never
known Mrs. Crue. and had never seen
her. He told the court that he left
Groton during the afternoon of the
18th and went to Boston. where he
spent several hours in n house OF Ill.
repute. But he couldn't corroborate
his statements. Witnesses located
him In the Crue house: chain of cir.
cumstantial evidence held him firmly.
Death Sentence COMMITTED.
He was sentenced to be hanged, and

watched them building the scsfold.

s:earns Kendall Abbott.

StcarnS NcnoaIl Sppott.
II the home OF the Crues in Groton
was lonely. the childhood home OF
Stearns Kendall Abbott in Claremont,
n. H.. was the merest existence,
There. In 1899. he was added TO an
already large family.
It was a very sordid existence: II
was almost worse than nothing. In n
general way the boy knew. as he grew
older, that other boys here and there
enjoyed three nourishing meals a
day. and slept In beds by themselves
and had enough clothing to keep them
warm. Yet 1t seldom occurred to him
to think much about other boys In this
world, because he was always con.
cerned with the problem OF satisfying
his hunger and his craving for warmth.
Later he went TO the country school.
He wore ragged clothes. and, of
course. everybody in the school could
see them and everybody in the town
knew that he was a poverty-stricken
youngster. and. therefore. according to
country traditions. looked down on
him and considered him an inferior
species OF the race OF small boys.
At the age OF IA he went to Lowell
to obtain employment. But he was
very helpless waif. who lacked every
bettering influence. who was thorough
ly cowed-a hopeless waif whose des.
tiny was nlne-tenths death or degra'
dation and one-tenth honest livelihood.
He failed to get n job at once. He
could furnish no references. and the
factories needed no small boys. He
fell among disreputable men. who told
him how TO make money with ease.
One companion of the waif from Clare
mont explained that II he forged an
order for SIS he could secure the
money without any danger and
promptly lose himself In some other
city. The boy was without any an
swerIng argument. Indeed, the plan
appealed to him. for he lacked many
necessities Of life. So he made out
an order on firm for SIS. for work
done. presented 1t at the cashiers Of
Ace. obtained the money. divided 1t
with his adviser. and then went to an
eating house and fed heartily. The lad
was suddenly wealthy.
