Professor Jacoby of Columbia says
that he doesn't know whether the
earth has made that long expected and
surely predicted passage, but that he
feels certain that if the passage did
not take place Wednesday night it
never will take place.
Professor H. N. Russell of Prince
ton staked his professional reputation
on the prediction that this planet would
sweep through the tail today. The best
talent they have at the Harvard OBJ
servatory is cautious in making posi-
tive statements. Harvard hazards the
opinion that the passage through the
tail will take place many hours later
than the transit of the head across the
suns disk-if it takes place at all,

SUFFRAGE or Race Suicide.

Mrs. Catherine Wayle McCullogh,
lawyer and Justice of the Peace in
Chicago, asserts that women are justi-
fed in refusing to bear children un-
til they have equal rights in the
guardianship Of their offspring. She
told the girl students in Downer Col
lege that it took the women Of Illinois
thirty years to have the laws Of that
State changed so that mother and
father have an equal right to their
children, and pointed out that only
by the same kind Of hard and unceas-
ing effort could women hope to gain
equal suffrage. She expressed her
self as against the militant methods
OF the English Suffragettes until 1t is
seen that other means have failed.
Her plan is publicity and work. She
would flood the stage with suffragist
plays, the newspapers with vote for
women" articles, editorials and poems,
the mails with postcards calling for
the ballot and public meetings and dis.
cussions at all times.

100 or 500 years ago, and their quain

feature of their life lies in the posi

are regarded merely as household con.

the women go out and act as the
men of the family" earning the fam.

family purse strings. The women are
the owners Of the farms and cottages,
and their husbands are perfectly salts

hands, doing such work as their wives
tell them and filling an entirely sec

Department Of Agriculture Trying to
Interest Farmers In Industry.
Uncle Sam is sending out a circular
to show farmers how they can raise
gourds and make pipes for smokers at
profit. The gourds do not grow as
rapidly as the gourds Of ancient times,
but It is said they can be produced
in almost any part OF this country
from seed that is supplied by the gov
ernment, With the directions for
planting and for making pipes.
In South Africa the gourd is called
the calabash. Beers made pipes of
the gourds for many years, but the
world took little notice until after the
Boer war, when the English began to
import them. Later the demand
spread to the United States, and now
there is a large market for the pipes
at So to $12 each according to the
circular OF the Department of Agricul-
ture.
The Beers tried to monopolize the
seed Of the gourd, but large supply
has been secured, and there is PROS
pect that the crop will become gen
eral. Il lie asserted that the gourd pipes
color like meeTschaum and are highlJ
appreciated by smokers. AS no. two
gourds are exactly alike, each smoE
er has pipe of special pattern, ant
as the sizes vary so much the work O.
preparing them is done by hand in.

A California woman has devised a
bit of this type of heldgear that has
several peculiarities of its own. The
vizor, in the first place, is not made
of stiffened material, but is held in
place by an arched spring running up
through the back of it and keeping il
n crescent shape. This spring, which
s a thin strip of resilient metal or
whalebone, can be inserted or taken
out in twinkling as it runs through
| shirred edge. When the spring IS
.emoved the sunbonnet collapses into
mass of soft material and can be
oiled up and put in a coat pocket or
packed into a very small space. L-At

trings to be tied under the chin to

The ussful Side Pocket.

Housekeepers will appreciate gift
of a side pocket to be worn about the
morning tasks. So equipped, demand

up stairs or a wild search.
While leather pockets can be bought
for such uses they do not quite fill the
need for house wear as they flop
around and rub the skirt.
4 pocket such as tailors wear, but
more artistic, will prove convenient.
This is made of heavy, smooth cloth
in envelope shape, and stitched on the
machine. Cut a strip of cloth twelve
inches long and five inches wide. Fold
up the end to the depth of two and
one-eighth inches from top to make
the pocket. Slope the edge beyond the
pocket into a point, like the flap of an
envelope. This point is provided with
buttonhole. to fasten to the belt
The pocket part should have but
tons and buttonholes or patent clasps
along the upper edge. Though deep
enough not to drop the contents, 1t is
often convenient to close the top
when working actively.
The edges of the bag may be finish
I'd in several ways. When making it

worked in a contrasting color, and a

Again, the edges can be neatly
bound with heavy satin ribbon or a
fine silk braid. This usually looks
better in self tones, the monogram be-
Ing the one touch of color.
