HE LOVES A FACTORY GIRL.
BY MARGERY doom.

My Dear Miss Doom:
/ am woman of As. I have a son
% years old who is infatuated with a
girl who works in a factory. / have
done everything in my power to break
their friendship, but with no avail l
am in very comfortable circumstances,
and feel that my sons chances of sue
cess in life win be lessened if he mar
ries her. What shall l do?
MOTHER
Do you not think that you are doing
that girl an injustice by condemning
her because she earns her living in a
factory? II she is the right sort of
girl She will be no hindrance to the
success of your son, no matter what
her circumstances. And if she be the
wrong sort, all of the money and cul-
ture in the world would not make her
helpmate. You should arrange to
meet this little girl and know some
thing of her before you decide upon
any course.

Nowadays it is necessary to change
the style of our hair dressing at the
commencement of a new season, SO that
1t may harmonic with the latest fash
ion in millinery for our outdoor gowns,
and may be in keeping with the special
period of dress from which we intend
to adapt our evening gowns, but, as it
is not always easy, and very seldom
desirable, to effect these changes by
cutting, curling and waving our own
locks, the simplest plan is to acquire
one or two artistic transformations in
the required style, with some clusters
of curls for the delightful Empire and
Greek chignons, which promise to be
even more popular than ever this
spring, and then, when the fashion
changes again, they can be discarded
or dressed in . different way, and our
own tresses will not have suffered from
the too constant application of hot
curling tongs, to say nothing Of our
happy possession of the peace of mind
which results from feeling confident
that the waves and curls in our coiffure
are natural, and will not get out of con-
dition in heated rooms or a damp
atmosphere.
The secret of success lies, of course,
in procuring pretty clusters of puffs,
curls and fringes that will give a
dressy dainty appearance to the SIM
plest mode of hair-dressing, as every
one will admit after glancing at our
Illustration, which shows a beautifully
dressed head, with the aid of the cor
onet curls and puffs. These may be
pinned on at moments notice. and
another thing that should recommend
them to the fastidious woman is they
may be arranged in various styles to
suit different periods of dress.
For those who have plenty of hair
and who only need a slight addition,

In the meantime, Florencc's father

With many people ideas of ventila-
tion are as curious as they are various.
When they give the matter any thought
at all their conception of what is right
has wide range. Some deem it quite
necessary to throw wide open all VIM
dows, regardless of wind and tenpera-
ture; while others consider that the
trouble OF opening the window at all is
uncalled for--enough fresh air comes
in through the cracks! Again, some
open the windows with a frequency
that looks like pure absentmindedness
while others decide that once week
on sweeping day--is enough If the
matter of ventilation were considered
really important and given intelligent
study there would be far less sickness
and more abiding comfort in homes to-
day.
When woman is limited in her
household expenses she seldom has
enough OF a balance in her account to

quently. Steam heated apartments and
houses were never intended to serve as
conservatories. The heat dries plants
and cut flowers in disappointngly
short time.
The solution of the problem of table
decoration for every day is a dish OF
growing hardy plants. Any woman
can always keep a fresh and fragrant
centrepieee of a. seasonable flower il
she plans ahead n little and gives few
minutes care and attention daily to her
floral offering to the family.
First of all she should select a recep-
tacle that is suited to the plant and to

basket or bowl is admirable for this
purpose, and Il separate tin dish made
to fit the basket or bowl viii hold the
plant and reduce the care of it to the
very smallest amount of work. \ point
to remember in arranging several
plants, such as tulips, narcissuses or

avoid having them all uniform in

more like a bit of garden transplanted
to the table if they are set around in
varied heights.

VALUABLE "AMBERGRIS."
Sailors Waste $4,000 Worth Of the
Stu Without Knoging Its Value.

SAN FRANCISCO, June "a. :
Greasing masts. sea boots and oil
skins with ambergris, valued at APP
proximately $400 a pound, sailors on
the British bark Antiope wasted about
$4,000 worth Of the stuff unaware Of
the value. 1t was not until yesterday
that John Mathiesen, master of the
vessel, learned that he had let a for
tune slip through his fingers, A
small part of the grease had been
saved and this was identified by an
Oakland druggist as ambergris.
The Antiope reached here from
Newcastle, Aus, few days ago On
the way up in latitude p south, a
great quantity Of "ambergris" was
seen floating on the surface of the
ocean and a calm prevailing, the men
managed to scoop up several buckets
full Of the stuff The grease was
found excellent and it was used for
slushing down the masts, the balance
being used by the men on their oil
skins and boots, The captain says
much more of the material could have
been collected, but thought the
amount picked up by the men was
enough.

ALASKA POLITICS.
Judge J. Wickersham Will be Candi-
date to Success Thomas Gale.

SEATTLE, June "a. "A special
despatch from Fairbanks, Alaska, to
the Post Intelligencer says:
The political situation in Alaska
was made extremely complex today
by the statement which Judge James
Wickersham issued announcing he
would be a candidate to succeed
Thomas Gale as delegate to Congress.
The fact that Mr.. Gale and Judge
Wickersham are warm political and
social friends adds to the oddity Of
the campaign. Roman, the democrat,
and Corson, Governor Hoggatt's can
didate, were former supporters Of Mr..
Gale Major Clum who inaugurated
his own campaign yesterday, was also
Gale supporter, In the face of all
this reports which come from the
second division indicate that Gale has
great strength there as well as in the
Tanana.

PORTLAND, June 24.-With a
detonation like the discharge of a
cannon the airline department Of the
Portland Gas Company at Front and
Glison strets blew up this morning,
dcmolishing machinery and roof, hurl-
ing wreckage and window glass across
the street with such force as to re-
duce them to powder, and causing
buildings several blocks distant to
tremble.
Many Of the 98 employees were in
the shed at the time, and though a
number were knocked down by the
concussion and several narrowly es-
capped death or injury from flying
pieces of wreckage, only one man, c.
E. Gilbert, an oiler, was injured. He
was working over one of the engine
demolished by the force of the explo-
sion, and his escape from instant
death was little short of miraculous.
He was struck on the hand by piece
OF flying metal, but not seriously in
jured.
The loss to the company in damage
to machinery and building will ap-
proximate $1,000, and it is not COW
cred by insurance There will probab-
ly be no interference in the illuminat-
ing gas service Of the company as
pressure can be maintained through
temporary expedients until the ma
chinery is replaced in part and re-
pairs made to other parts not COM
pletely destroyed.
The cause Of the accident can only
be conjectured," said General Man
ager H. NJ. Papst, "but it was prob
ably due to gas leaking into the air
pipes. A flame would be necessary
to cause such an explosion, and for
that reason we think a valve must
have leaked directly over the furnace.
Only the castings Of the blowers were
materially damaged, and $1,000 will
undoubtedly cover the damage"
The accident occurred about 7:45
this morning The airline depart
ment, as it is classified, is used to blow
air through the generators and cause
a blast. In the structure were two
cat-iron blowing engines, and over.
head ran horizontally a sheet metal
tube about two feet in diameter. Var.
ious heavy pipes formed part of the
and set near the walls,
which are of brick The roof was OF
slate, and there was nothing Of an
infammable mature in the structure,
except the cotton waste used in pack
ing the parts of the machinery.
The force OF the explosion was
such that one side was blown out of
the engine nearest Glisan street, huge
pieces of cast-iron an inch in thick
ness being broken like reeds The
huge tube overhead dropped on the
engines, bent and torn from end to
end A big steel pipe also collapsed,
by hairs breadth one of
the workmen, who was STOPPING near
the east wall to pick up tool.

Anderson went home with her, and
remarked to Mrs. O'Kelly that he
had $40 of Mrs Gordon's money, and
might as we'll have the rest. He
went to the Wilcox House for break
fast, and said he'd "been out with
Mrs. Gordon and got her money"
The prosecution is trying to prove
that robbery was the cause of the
shooting, Mrs. Gordon came back to
Marshtield the next day, and told
Mrs. O'Kelly she had arranged with
the officers to arrest Anderson at North
Bend, and would coax him to go
there. She went out and came back
