ST. CLAIR'S VOTE.
Carried Againet the Convention and
Republicanism.
Ashvtlle. April 29.—(Special. V—The offi
cial count on the constitutional conven
tion Question In St. Clair County was as
follows:
For convention 427 votes, against con
vention 1261.
D. VV. Waite, Independent candidate for
delegate to the convention from this coun
ty. received 427 votes. N. B. Spears, Re
publican candlate, 1150.
The Republican Slate candidates for
delegate to the convention all received
about 250 votes more than the Democrats.
Only about one-half the usual vote of the
county was cast.
The entire Republican vote and all ne
groes turned out and voted against the
convention, while many Democrats and
good Populists seemed to manifest no
Interest In the election, and thereby
turned the county over to Spears, whose
majority Is about the negro vote In the
county.

Mrs. Babb's Address.
The meeting of the Woman's Club on
! Saturday which was arranged by Mrs.
Samuel Blake, director of the Home
' Science department, was particularly in
j structlve and delightful. Mrs. Mary C.
Babb of Montevallo, presiding teacher of
the Girls’ Industrial School was the guest
of honor and delivered a splendid address
on “Preparation for the Homemaking.'’
The programme opened with several
musical numbers. Prof. Washburn ren
dered a delightful solo from Miss Row
ley's beautiful opera.
Miss Rowley was the accompanist, Mrs.
W. B. Catchings sang several lullabies
most delightfully. After the programme
an informal reception was held and while
enjoying the refreshments in the tea
room the members enjoyed meeting Mrs.
Babb socially. Following is Mrs. Bsfbb's
address
About 3000 years ago an Intellectual,
Christian gentleman visited the city of
Athens which boasted of Its civilization,
it's learning, its culture. These citizens
called on the stranger to tell them sorae
| thing new, so he stood in the midst of
| them and in a loud voice exclaimed: “Ye
| men of Athens, in all things I perceive
that ye are somewhat superstitious. For
| as 1 passed along, and observed the ob
jects of your worship, 1 found also an
altar with this inscription: “To the Un
known God." During all these years
their learning, their culture, their refine
ment, combined with the religion of that
Christian man have been handed down
to us, and our gratitude is unbounded.
Today as I passed along and observed
the objects of your w’orshlp, I fouijd on
your altar this inscription: “If our homes
w'ere all right everything would be all
right, and till our homes are right, noth
ing can be right." Therefore I conclude
that you worship the only true God, lor
It was He wrho by precept and example
sanctioned, sanctified and blessed the
home. ✓
All honor to the Birmingham Woman’s
Club that is laboring so energetically and
so faithfully to develop the women of this
great city; great in Its growth, great in
Its rapid increase of wealth and great In
its charity'. Three years ago we had
a case of small-pox In our school. Two of
our teachers sought refuge in this city,
and your people were such good Samari
tans to us then that wc have never ceas
ed to be grateful. But your manhood and
your womanhood were never so vividly
brought forth to the eyes of the world
as since the recent cyclone. Your bene
ficence. your sympathy, your charity,
your promptness to action and your re
fusing aid from the outside world are ex
amples to be known and read of all men.
You shattered the alabaster box and its
fragrance has encircled the globe. Ail
these are objects for the home-making.
These clubs, as I understand, are not
so much for one’s personal improvement,
though the reflex action is appreciated,
as they are for the physical, mental and
moral training of our children and our
neighbors’ children; anyway they are de
stined to be great factors in the product
of the world's history.
Dr. Hanchett tells us that “The uncon
scious man is the basis of our charac
ter; if so, then we should begin before
the cell-life is formed to educate our
children.
Already the club influence Is being felt
in the Alabama Industrial School at Mon
tevallo. We are giving our girls that
training, which if they accept, will make
of them womanly women, as well as ena
ble them to be self-sustaining; so if they
choose they may remain “unappropriated
blessings” to scatter their sunshine In
the darkened corners of all the earth.
(May God bless the unselfishness of all
such women!)
i nere are others who may—and many
will- -lavish their sunshine on one indi
vidual, and "The heart of her husband
will trust in her;she will do him good and
not evil all the days of her life." "She
will seek wool and tlax and work willing
ly with her hands," and this we teach
Is honorable.
Toadies, I Invite you to come with me
Into our workshop. We are now In the
room where they teach plain sewing. Here
are tables, desks, chairs and sewing ma
chines. Since machines are contrivances
for transferring or transforming energy,
our girls at first are not allowed to use a
machine. The Instruction begins with
practice on scraps, sewing straight 1
seams, and when the pupil has learned
the use of the needle and thimble she
makes a simple garment; then she is
taught to properly cut the material by
placing the pattern In the correct posi
tion—a lesson In economy as well as a
lesson In lines and curves, for If the
goods Is not correctly cut the waist will
be zigzag or the skirt will hang in scal
lops. They baste, turn the hem by meas
ure. gather and put in bands. They are
then taught to use the machine, and
when a girl has completed this course
of Instruction she enters the dressmak
ing class, where she is thoroughly drilled
In taking measures and cutting all kinds
of garments to actual measure by the S.
T. Taylor System. The girls here are
taught to baste, to stitch the outside and
lining, to press, finish and bind seams,
to make, trim and finish sleeves and
waist and to bind, interline and hang the
skirt; in fact, to finish the entire dress.
This department is furnished with forms,
plaiting machines, etc., so that the girls
in this room are also taught designing.
In addition to this they are taught fancy
work of various kinds.
I now’ invite you to the millinery de
partment, where the girls are taught to
make their uniform caps. This task off,
the pupils turn their attention to hat
making proper, cutting the frames of
bucram and w’lre, making them Into all
shapes, covering with, velvet and straw’,
all of which operations are largely me
chanical. Then comes the opportunity
for the display and development of talent
in the art of designing and trimming, to
which course their Is no limit. In addi
tion to making and trimming hats the
girls are taught to study faces,, thereby
deciding which style will produce the best
effect. They receive, entertain and dis- !
miss visitors as they would necessarily '
have to do in a salesroom. They take, fill
and deliver orders, keep books for the s
department, and. Indeed do everything
that calls into requisition all the talent
of a bright young woman. We have five
girls w’ho will finish millinery this year,
and already their teacher. Miss Stough,
has secured positions for four of them;
one of them wrill begin work with a 150
salary.
It is a fine accomplishment for a wo
man to know how to cut, fit and make
hers and her children's clothes, and it Is
economical to properly utilize all the
"odds and ends" of ribbons, laces and

for the children.
One of our most profitable lessons Is to
generate sunshine in the home, and we
cafnot well do this without occasional
lubrication to prevent friction in the ma
chinery. This we teach in the cooking
department both theoretically and practi
cally. One cannot be very lavish in amia
bility unless she has an inexhaustible
fountain of brightness. This fountain
/nust be aerated by pure, fresh air and
stimulated by nutritive food. To be nu
tritious it must be digestible, and to be
digestible It must be properly prepared
and cooked. Nothing will so rapidly and
so surely destroy the true home life ns
to have dally set before you indigestible
food. Man is wonderfully and fearfully
made, but the Maker has most wonder
fully provided for us in creating that
food which renders a threefold service to
the human body—furnishing heat to keep
it warm, material to build It up, make It
grow and keep it in repair, and energy
with which it may do its work. This our
teacher of domestic science instills into
the minds of our girls, teaching them to
classify and use the nitrogenous, car
bonaceous and mineral foods In such pro
portions as to supply the elements which
are needed In the building of muscles,
bones, blood and nerves. She teaches the
mechanism, care and use of the stove, to
cook a meal, to set the table properly, to
serve a luncheon, to wash dishes and
store them away. She teaches the value,
use and preparation of teas; the history,
preparation and use of coffee and cocoa.
The latter, you remember, was intro
duced by the Spaniards into Europe, and
it was used there as a. beverage before
either tea or coffee. Linasai.s, the great
botanist, was so fond of cocoa that he
called it the bromo, the food of the gods.
She teaches them why food should be
cooked:
1. "To render It dlgestable so that its
nutrient properties may be assimilated
In the human system.
2. "To render it appetizing by the de
velopment of its own specific flavor.
3. "To combine different food materials
in such a way that each will render the
other palatable.
4. "To remove certain portions that are
not good for the system; and
5 "To destroy all parasites and bac
teria."
Other very Important lessons are in
valid rooking and the loving, dainty way
of serving, homo furnishing and clean
ing. hygiene of bedrooms, care and de
coration of the dining room, cleaning and
keeping bright the silver and china and
glassware, the care of the table linen
and, Indeed, everything that a good, ca
pable house-wife must know.
You understand how necessary it is
for a bride to know all these things when
she first becomes mistress of a home.
How many tears, how many heartaches,
how much family trouble would be spar
ed if the wife had a practical knowledge
of home-making. Our teacher gives her
girls Atwater's carefully prepared rules
of purchasing food. He says: "One of the
ways In which the worst economy Is prac
ticed Is the buying of high-priced foods.
For this error prejudice, the palate and
poor cooking are mainly responsible.
There is a prevalent but unfounded idea
that costly foods such as the tenderest
meats, the finest fish, the highest priced
butter, the choicest flour and the most
delicate vegetables possess some pecu
liar virture which is lacking In less ex
pensive materials. Many people who
have small Incomes and really wish to
economize, think It beneath them to use
the cheaper meats and inexpensive, but
substantial groceries. Many, too, labor
under the false Impression that the cost
ly food materials are somehow essential
and economical." He tells us also that
the best food. In the sense of that which
is finest in appearance and flavor and is
sold at the highest prl^e. Is rarely the
most economical for people In good health.
The food that Is best fitted to the real
wants of the user may be of the very
kind which supplies the most nutriment
at the lowest cost."
we nave learned oy experience mat ig
norance often results In great waste of
hard-earned money.
You ladies who have kept house for five
or ten years have learned this lesson at
great cost; but we would spare our
daughters this experience by giving them
that "education which is < mplete de
velopment for complete living." The hus
band has anxious cares in providing for
his household; he has worries and temp
tations and vexations peculiar to his
work, and when he comes home from the
turmoil of the city with aching limbs or
a weary brain, he needs to enter a home
made beautiful by a thoughtful, loving
wife, who has been educated by a wise
mother or teacher in household econo
mics. When our girls shall have been
thus educated, our sons will be more
noble, our brothers more thoughtful, our
politicians more pure, and our husbands
more true. If a girl desires to be self
sustaining. or if it is Incumbent upon
her to support an invalid parent or to
educate a sister or brother, there are
other Industrial departments which she
may prefer, such as telegraphy, stenogra
phy, typewriting, bookkeeping, etc., in
which many of our girls are now engaged.
To add beauty to the home we have
them study drawing, china painting, oil
painting, as we, too, have learned that
"Art Is a wonderful expression through j
stone or canvas or musical sound of the
deepest and simplest attributes of our na
ture.” but "music which gentler on the
spirit lies, than tired eyelids on tired
eyes" brings a Joy into the soul that ele
vates as nothing else can do. an we would
have all our girls learn music, either vo- .
cal or instrumental.
The foundation for all this Is a common
education In the broadest sense of that
term, and our literary teachers are can
dles burning away In giving light to the
womanhood of our noble State—Alabama
—which is "trying to have the whole peo
ple respectably enlightened."
We, in our small corner, are teaching
our girls to work understanding^-, be
cause we know that if they learn to do
well and Intelligently the daily school
duties they will be the better fitted for
the responsible duties of mature life, and
they will be the more useful women in
this beautiful world which our Father
has prepared for them.
Of all the duties which God has placed
on woman, that of rearing children is the
most responsible, and of all the work
which she has to do that of the home
making requires the most patience. Such
burdens cannot be borne alone, and only
those who love can do the work accepta
bly; and true love Is the product of faith
and prayer.
