ALABAMA ELECTION.
Very Little Opposition to the Democratic

Ticket.
MONTGOMERY, ALA, August There
was so little opposition to the Democratic
State and county tickets that no effort was
made to secure the election news. The
Republicans did not have county tickets
in half dozen counties and there were
very few independent tickets. The local
contests were between Democrats. The
Legislature is overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic in both branches, while Governor
Seyy and the Democrats carried nearly
every county by considerable majorities.

With the Republicans and lndepend-
cnts in line it will require only eight
Democratic votes to pass the bill. -Four
Democrats s-Sowdcn, OF Pennsylvania,
Browcr, Of North Carolina, and Bliss
and Grccnman, OF New York, voted
against thc Mills bill, and would be
counted on as certain to support the
Senate measure. Itis believed that Viii
kiHs and Fofan. OF Ohio, Vance, Of Con-
necicUt, aud Aicrriman, OF New York,
would be quite us certain, and that with
others TO come in for local reasons, the
majority ior the bill would be be almost
as large rs the majority for the Mills bill,

measure ii present, rs It cmbOdies all
tue important features OF his own bill,
lInOt able to be present, pair would
easily b. effected for him with some sup
porter OF the Mills bill who would, in
this indirect way, be glad to contribute
TO the passage OF a better measure.

hopes and anhitiousexpectations OF Re
pubirns who know exactly what the
Senate bill will be, and who think it /:

Through the Senate and over IN the

Il is argued that none OF the Repub-
licans aud Independents who voted for
the Mills bill can consistently refuse TO
vote ior the Republican measure. Those
Democrats who voted against the Mills
bill can consistently support the Senate

certain Virginia and North Carolina
members will be attracted to the Rcpub-
licaa bill by its practical abolition oithe

Where American Girls Fail.

Julia Ward Howe says in the Chdu-
'duYatdlI: AT the eastward number of
single woman have no call toward mat
rimony. At the West young men live
rs bachelors, or marry quite out of the
sphere of their early association. [
would remedy this state of things by
making it not only possible but easy
for every pioneer man who goes out
into the wilderness to take with him a
pioneer woman to whom the ideas of
labor and privation shall not be either
new or unwelcome. And l would do
this by training every young woman,
without exception, in the simple tasks
and offices of household work.
This training should begin very early
in life. A child of five or six years can
be taught to bear its little part in, the
work of the family. 1t can learn to
put its things in order, to restore books
and playthings to their places when
play and study hours are ended. Its
little feet can easily run on errands,
many steps which would be waarisome
to them, but which to It are only
amusing.
Taste as well as order should be Gull
tivated in children. Good taste is q
very valuable and restra ming influence
in human fc, n I'd moral beauties are
akin to material ones. Gardening and
the gathering and arranging of flowers
are helpful for this end. Such study
of drawing and color as circumstances
will allow is also very useful. But the
most aesthetic for the household is that
OF perfect neatness and order. That
beds, walls, floors and windows should
be faultlessly clean is the first requi-
site for the taste of good housewife.
Children can be led to keep this neces-
sitv much in mind. Having secured
this honest and healthful foundation, let
the little girl be trained to such simple
adornment of her surroundings as can
be had without additional expense; the
best arrangement of the family china,
the utilizing of materials already at
command, the training of vine, the
setting of a glass of flowers. Such
works of art as the home can afford
should be carefully chosen. and their
merits and meaning should be explained
to the little people.
Where pocket money can be allowed
the mind of the child should be direct
ed to a good use of it. 1t can early
learn the difference between a
generous pleasure and selfish gratiti-
cation, and should be taught, in contra
vention to the drift of the time, to pre-
fer articles of use to art cles of mere
luxury. Cookery and household chem
istry are matters in which it is easy to
interest children, and the ignorance of
them, which mars the domestic COM
fort of many a household, marks the
neglect of the valuable opportunities
which childhood affords for instruction
in these important matters.
There is a grammar of housekeeping
and domestic life. She who does not
become acquainted with it will never
I've abe to command the best comfort
which her fortune can afford. 70 at
tain this she must &C luire a practical
understanding of the value of work i'll
time and in money. She should also
know the inwardness of the work of
the household, so that no one OF its
many tasks should be performed in
s,ovenly and inadequate manner.

Aunt Hannah nailed the pledge to

would not be likely to fall.

PAPER timber is made which DOS.
sesses many advantages over wood and
yet costs less. The time is not far dis
tant when people viii not only live in
paper houses, and use paper furniture
and utensils, but our gas, water, and
sewage will be conducted through pa
per pipes. 1t is much stronger and
more resisting than wood, and, when
specially prepared, than iron. Paper
car-wheels are in extensive use now,
and recent experiments in Germany
have produced a successful paper rail,
so that it appears to be only a question
of time when our great railway system
will be equipped with paper rails, pa
