MORE HOPE FOR sUFF,s.

Hope springs again in the femi-
nine heart with the action Of the
Delawaro senate in passing bill
ratifying the suffrage amendment.
The bill goes to the house which is
expected to act at once.
The revival OF the bill indicates a
change OIL heart and suggests that
possibly Delaware has concluded to
cast the deciding vote on the ques-
ton. Delaware turned ratification
down very recently and the. renewal
OF the attempt leads to the inference
that the legislature has concluded to
reverse its former action and
establish a ladies entrance" to the
polling booths.
Anyhow, we should know pretty
soon whether Iowa women will be
able 70 vote the whole menu or not.

Answers to Yesterdays Questions.
/. What Is the origin Of the name
of the Indian cucumber root?
Several Of our harmless wild
out of the old mythologies: thus,
Indian cucumber root, one Of Thor
eau's favorite flowers, Is named after
the sorceress Medea, and is called
'medeola." because 1t was at one
time thought to possess rare medi-
cinal properties: and medicine and
sorcery have always been more or
less COMPOUNDED in the opinion of
mankind.
2. is an animals eye as keen as
that OF bird?
/ have often had occasion to
notice how much more intelligence
the bird carries in its eye than do
any of the quadrupeds. The animal
will see you, too, II you are moving
but II you stand quite still, even the
wary fox will pass within few
yards Of you and not know you from
a stump. unless the wind brings him
your scent. But a crow or q hawk
will discern you when you think
yourself quite ridden.
3. What agencies threaten exter-
mination Of our birds?
1t Is quite true that the number
OF our birds destroyed by man is but
small percentage of the number
cut or by rheir natural enemies;
but II Is to be remembered that those
he destroys are In addition to those
thus cut off, and that 1t Is this extra
or artificial destruction that disturbs
the balance Of nature. The opera
ton of natural causes keeps the
birds In checi. but the greed OF the
collectors ind milliners tends to their
extinction.
