Interiors of Their Homes.
Now that the backbone of this re

ers arc remarking the dingy look of
the home interior. The question of
new wall coverings is up. Paper io
dear and short lived ; kalsomlnes are
dirty and scaly ; paint is costly. The
use of such a cement as Alabastlne ,
for instance , will solve the problem.
This admirable wall coating is clean ,
pure and wholesome. It can be put
on with no trouble by anyone ; there
is choice of many beautiful tints ; and
it is long lasting.

THRCE-YEAn-OLD ENGINEER.
Orcgonlitns Nearly PrJclilencd to JJentli
bj Ynuncter'a Act.
"I can run nn engine like papa , "
said Httlo 3-yonr-olil Fred Evans , ns
ho was lifted down from the locomo
tive of the St. Johns motor line the
other day at Albinn. Ho had mounted
the engine ul St. Johns , pulled open
the throttle and remained on the scat
alone on a mad ride of seven miles ,
bays an exchange. The young engin
eer la the son of W. 13. Evans of St.
Johns , an engineer on the motor lino.
Ho has often been on the engine , and
his father had explained how the lever
Is pulled and the wheels started mov
ing. The engine lies over an hour at
St. Johns , just by the water tank , and
during this time , while Mr. Evans was
at home at lunch , little Fred walked
down to the engine , mounted the scat
and opened the throttle wide. The
machine was full of coal anil water and
ready for the road. Several people
saw the boy start , but no one was
close enough to catch the engine. The
news was at once told to Mr. Evans ,
and he reached Uio track just In time
to see the locomotive , with his boy on
board , disappear around a curve. The
father was wild with grief and fear ,
and the boy's mother was almost pros
trated. The news spread like wildfire ,
and the whole town turned out. Ex
citement was Intense , women and
children cried and the men offered sug
gestions. Master Mechanic Michael F.
Brady was at the end of the line , and
at once began to telephone to stations
along the line. Portsmouth and PenInsular -
Insular were notified , and men at
these points tried to board the engine
as It dashed by , but Its speed was too
great. Mr. Brady also notified the
office at Alblna.and a party of men ran
out line northward to meet the wild
engine. In coming up the long grade
toward Alblna , the steam died down
a little , but the register still showed
eighty pounds. John Woods , a motorman -
man on the City and Suburban rail
way , was the first man to meet the
engine. He caught the handrail and
swung up , but In so doing lie was drag
ged sixty or seventy-five feet. He at
once turned off the steam , and the en-
ginne slowed down and stopped. It
was then young Fred made the remark
concerning his ability as an engine-
driver. The boy was not scared at all ,
but seemed rather proud of his feat.
When the engine fiist dashed out of
St. Johns he was frightened , and as
he came through Portsmouth like a
shot out of a gun , he was yelling lust
ily for "mamma. " After going several
miles , however , ho again became
brave , and held his position on the
seat with composure , with his hand on
the lever like a veteran. In the mean
time the news of the rescue had been
sent by telephone to the frightened
parents , and for the remainder of the
day there was great joy in St. Johns.
THE SMALLEST SHEEP.
It Lives In Brittany anil Is No
Tlinn n Lap Do ? .
The very smallest of all kinds of
sheep is the tiny Breton sheep. It Is
too fainall to be very profitable to raise ,
for , of course , it cannot have much
wool , and , as for eating , why , a hun
gry man could eat almost a whole one
at a meal. It is so small when full-
grown that it can hide behind a good-
sized bucket. It takes its name from
the part of Franco whcic it is most
raised. But , if not a profitable sheep ,
it is a dear little creature for a pet , for
it is very gentle and loving , and , be
cause it is so small , is not such a
nuisance about the house as was the
celebrated lamb which belonged to a
little girl named Mary. Any little girl
could find room in her lap for a Breton
sheep. One of this little creature's pe
culiarities is its extreme sympathy
with the feelings of its human friends ,
when it has been brought up as a pet
in the house , and has learned to dis
tinguish between happiness and un-
happiness. If any person whom it
likes Is very much pleased about any
thing , and shows It by laughing , the
little sheep will frisk about with every
sign of joy ; but , if , on the contrary ,
the person sheds tears the sympathetic
friend will e\ince Its sorrow in an
equally unmistakable way. Stray

Sacred Ground.
The ground on which a foreign lega
tion stands is considered as belonging
to the country whose flag floats from
the legation roof. Supposing a mem
ber of a foreign legation in London
committed a murder , all we could do
would be to "suggest" ( a favorite dip
lomatic word , always used , except in
i elation to China ) that the offender
should be sent back to his native coun-
tiy and punished there. Some time
ago , when a certain gentleman , whose
name was well known at the time , was
kidnaped Into the Chinese legation , an
Inspector from Scotland Yard Imme
diately pioceeded thither and released
the prisoner. This was a most serious
breach of international law , and was
Intensely discussed "In diplomatic cir
cles. " Since the Chinese legation is
part and parcel of China , an Invasion
of the celestial empire was thus made
by a Sctoland Yard official. Chambers'
