Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - September 18, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba House painting. What color shall it to White is the first crude reply. White is the color to which every Man building his House has for some generations Back aspired White unknown to other countries where humid air and Damp skies migh afford some excuse for its illuminating qualities has been Tho custom of thib country where a dazzling Sun and a Brilliant Blue sky make it a reflector of astonishing Power. Doubtless in Tho Early Days Whon Tho of Tho set tors and the rude condition of their buildings made no paint at All possible houses grew so dark and Dingy and sad looking that the feeling toward some thing Bright was a reactionary one. Thus As soon As. Increasing wealth Justi fied now find that they wore covered with a White plaster or stucco and lest that that should not present a sufficiently striking appear Ance bits of Glass were sprinkled in the plaster till the shining surface glittered at every Point. Those whose Means Al Lowed none of this and who had to con tent themselves with Frame houses of course chose Tho color chosen by their superiors and then in other respects the cheap and easy imitation of Marble and cheap and easy imitation of enviable and costly stuff has been the Bane of this country in More ways than one. White then having become the established color for a House it was found almost As hard to break through the cherished custom As it is to break Down old and the first Dar ing innovators who painted their houses Cream color Pearl color Fawn color were derided As so Many fanciful fools and when it Camo to Grey As Crio l the conservatives have no paint at All forgetting that the primary object of the paint after All is to protect the Wood from Tho weather and save it from Damp decay. Says those conservative Sis there that can look More neat and attractive than a White freshly White with its Green blinds standing beneath dark Groen Pines and with Bright greensward be fore great yes to Grant them but attractive no. There is nothing attractive about. A White stares you out of countenance a it Glaves in the Sun and blinds Yon it is a Blotch and an exc essence upon Tho landscape it never melts into it nor mingles with it nor becomes Harmon ious with it. To would be attractive should never assert itself , should never seem to to demanding1 at Tention. It should stand Back rather Anion its shrubberies As if it had Hap piness and pleasure enough of its own without adventitious Aid making Tho twice As for another glance of its withdrawn andr cozy happiness whose idea shall be alluring by which he shall see is Only for its chosen., ones since that retired Home does not reveal itself to All Tho world with doors that Are a Public thoroughfare however hospitably those Wido doors swung to the frequent guest. That House could never by any possibility to for its first Effort would to to make itself a portion of Tho scene about it As if it were an outgrowth of that icons rather than an object super induced there like an in cum Branco. Well watched. In Germany the watchful Eye of government follows even the weary travel or to his Couch and its ear in open through the silent watches of the night to Eatch the treason that maybe uttered in a dream. Lately in that Corner of the waterland known As rhenish Prus Sia to wit in the town of Bunsen near Cologno a merchant was brought be fore the courts for his Sloop uttered words inimical to Prince von Bismarck. He was sleeping in and m the Iun Kooper told him that in Tho night he had insulted Bismarck. A third person informed the police and Tho merchant was arrested and brought before the tribunal. He was not for a wonder sent to prison hut Tho magistrate censured him severely remarking that the accused had Only himself for the inconvenience to which had Boon put because if he were not an enemy of Prince von Bismarck he ought not during his Sloop to have insulted Tho Benefactor of Ger Many Ontario Harvest. The Harvest in Bast Lambton is now about gathered in Tho barns. The weather for the last three weeks has been remarkably free from.

The trials of the Scott Moncrieff Tram Way car at Glasgow this Avsek seem to have shown results of some importance.

At this rate Tho car can to taken up and Down the steepest gradients overcome by the usual Tramway car makes no noise and costs for motive Power Only one and a half Pence a mile against seven Ponce per mile Whon drawn by horses a saving will soon give those who use it a Monopof of Tho traffic. The invention if really As cheap As is. Alleged will be most useful for Cross county railways and ought before Long to be applied to All the Ching machines and other heavy engines which now frighten the horses on country roads while it excites a Hope that at some future Date we May yet to Able to Dis Pense with horses As beasts of draught.
