The Alexandra Baking Powder Is
the Best and Cheapest.

For more than five years this
Baking Powder has been in use In
this market. Some 20O,0 cans have
been sent out with request that 1t 1t
did not give satisfaction they should
be returned, and none ever came
back. This is good evidence that
they gave general satisfaction.
The retail price of the Alexandra
baking powder is 20 cents pound.
The other best standard brands are so
cents per pound, and it takes double
the quantity it does of the Alexandra
baking powder, which makes it cost
four times as much.
There are other baking powders
sold here as low as Is cents per h.,
but, like the high priced powders, it
takes two teaspoonfuls to each quart
of -four The Alexandra requires only
one, and that makes % cents worth
of it 20 as far as 80 ceu's of the So
called cheap powders.
Then it is made in Waco, gives
employment to home people and all
the expenses and profits are spent
here, Another advantage, the fnctory
will buy back all the empty cans and
cases if returned 10 good condition.

tions, and which directly or indirectly
involve very many branches of in
dustry. The nun Der OF apprentices
that a contractor is permitted to EN-
ploy at the present time is limited and
controlled by the mems union, and
numerous disturbances that have
taken place in the trade in different
parts of the country have had their
origin in the action OF contractors of
employing more than the number OF
apprentices The union men contend
that unless there is restriction in the
number Of boys allowed to become
apprentices the trades will become
overcrowded and there will be a de-
cline in the place of skilled labor,
while on the other hand the master
builders insist that the number of
apprentices who graduate annually in
the ranks of the journeymen is not by
any means in proportion to the de-
mand The subject will be discussed
at length at the present conven.

world in miniature. Some people will
be more interested in one department
than in others, but there is variety
enough to occupy all the spare time
that any busy man or woman can give
to the fair"
In addition to the display of higher
arts there are extensive exhibits of
educational methods by our leading
colleges and schools which demonstrate
the wonderful progress made in the de-
partment of learning during the last
quarter of century. In the education
al section of the Manufactures building
are to be found these valuable and in
teresting evidences of the growth of
knowledge in our land. and anyone that
leaves the fair without visiting this dis
play will miss one of its best features
Some of the strange costumes worn
by the foreigners at the fair occasion
considerable merriment among the
young folks. On the Midway Plaisance
the other day score of grinning youths
surrounded one of the members of the
Javanese community and held him pris-
oner for a few moments while they
made sport of his clothing. The licorice-
colored victim of their curiosity stood
the joke good-naturedly as far as his
apparel was concerned. but when they
got to poking him in the ribs and step
ping on his toes, he rebelled and broke
through the line that surrounded him
and made his escape.
Among the most deeply-interested
visitors at the fair are number OF In
dians from a neighboring show. They
devote all their spare time to sight
seeing among the wonders of the heap
big show" 1t is quite evident that
they also enjoy the public interest
which their appearance never fails to
excite. CARRIED in all the trappings Of
their wild life, they pose and parade
for the benefit of the gaping crowds
about them.
One of the most delightful features
of the fair is the singing chorus of
children. which gives a concert each
week. There are twelve hundred lit
tie people in the chorus who have been
carefully trained by Prof. Tomlius, of
Chicago. Their childish voices make
grand music as they wake the echoes
of Music hall. Prof. Tomlins has la
bored long and patiently with his
chorus of little folk, but he has reason
TO feel proud of it. for il is undoubtedly
one of the finest ever gotten together.
The Agricultural building, which has
been somewhat behind the others in
filling up. is now the favorite resort of
vast throng of interested visitors
each day. The exhibits of the different
states are exceedingly fine. and in the
arrangement and decoration of the
many booths exquisite taste is shown.
There are in this building some fea-
lures of rare interest, among them be-
ing the mammoth cheese from Canada,
weighing eleven tons, and the wonder
ful chocolate pavilion. which is con-
structed of thirty thousand pounds of
brown chocolate.

POINTS ABOUT pRohEs.
They Are Fully as Important as Othe'
Members of the Bive.

They Are Fully aa Important as Other
Members of the Bive.
/ think the drone bee is fully as
important as any other member of
the hive Until the nineteenth century
their true value and use were not I'M
derstood, for until that time some sup
posed that they laid all the eggs, and
some thought that each drone laid an
egg and set on it and Matched it. But
at the advent of the frame hive these
absurdities soon disappeared. and it was
then that the true use of the drone was
discovered. As we have seen. the queen
must be fortified before she can lay
eggs which will produce workers. But
any queen will produce drones, as a
drone egg is never fortified. and be-
lieve it is generally conceded by au-
thorities that drones from an unfertil-
lied queen are as good as any. A pure
Italian queen on her wedding tour may
meet a black drone. In this case all the
workers will be hybrids, l. G., half
bloods, but all the drones will be pure.
Thus you see how easy it will be to
have pure Italians if all your queens are
In your immediate neighborhood. At
the time of the year when the bees
wish drones the queen deposits eggs
in drone cells (which are larger
than workers, but of the same shape.
They hatch in about three days
into minute Larvae which are cared
for and fed by the bees for about twelve
days. when they seal them up with a
large round cap and give them no
further attention for nine days, when
they come out and must be cared for
again, for they are entirely dependent
upon the workers for food during life,
as they have no proboseis to gather
honey with. and are so constituted that
they cannot feed themselves in any
way if they had plenty of food right at
hand. This has been proved in this
way: Inclose some drones in a single
wire-cloth basket so that the bees can
feed them through it; they will live for
two months or more. But inclose them
in double basket with one-half inch
space between them, and give them Il
frame of honey and pollen and they
will die in day or two.
Drones are of no value but for one
purpose. viz: the fertilization of the
queen, but this one purpose is so i'm
portant that it is very desirable to
have a good supply on hand when
needed. Let US see that this supply is
of the very best quality obtainable, for
they certainly make a great impression
on the progeny of the queens which they
feoundate, and if we wish to have bees
that will winter well. come out strong
and vigorous in the spring and show US
fine lot of choice honey we must pay
particular attention to the queens and
drones we breed from. - Joseph III.

a MAMMOTH WHEEL.
It Takes the Place of . Tower at
Worlds Fair.

II Takes the Place of . Tower Mt the
Worlds Fair.
After the various tower schemes fOf
the worlds fair were abandoned there
came to the front man by the name
of Ferris who had what increddlous
people termed monstrous wheel in his
head. Mr.. Ferris became the object OF
much ridicule on account of a pet prof.
ect of his, which was to build big
wheel which would carry passengers to
an altitude of $40 feet. His plan was
regarded as exceedingly visionary, but
after frequent rebuffs he succeeded in
obtaining permit to put up his wheel
in the Midway Plaisance. The work
was begun last March and has just
reached successful completion and has
been put in operation.
Its highest point is 265 feet above the
surface of the earth. The diameter is
$50 feet, and the circumference s25. the
entire thing being raised 10 feet above
the ground.
In reality there are two wheels,
twins. 80 feet apart, but it takes
them both to make the Ferris wheel
These twins are connected by iron rods
and struts which do not approach
nearer than 20 feet to the periph-
erv. Outside of these rods the cars
are hung and supported by steel bars
of about five inches in thickness extend
ing from one wheel 70 the other. Each
wheel has for its outline curved iron
beam PSI by 10 inches. Forty feet in
side is another beam, forming Il smaller
circle. From these beams or circles
