Lou1s,ana's Rice crop.

Louisiana man says that the rice
crop Of that State this year will be
fully one-half of the entire crop Of the
United States. "The raising Of rice,
he SAYS, "has worked wonders for the
interest of our State. 1t has prac-
tically opened UP a new industry in
the agricultural line, and hundreds
of farmers who thought their lands
valuless when the cotton gave out
now find themselves in position that
will soon place them in one year
where cotton could not put them in
five. 1t is really the most lucrative
of all the new industries in the
South"

Bread-Makine nt the Fair.

New points and improvements are
constantly being discovered even in
the most familiar processes Many of
these were gained by housekeepers
who at the Woman's building at Jack
son park listened to Mrs. Rorer's lee
ture ON the art of bread-making with
yeast She gave the relative values of
high and low yeast, and high yeast in
its growth in bread was illustrated by
the growth of the plant in soil She
said: The idea of letting the sponge
stand over night has gone out of date.
Bread-making is easy If the cook will
understand a few essential principles" +"
Mrs Rorer advocated the theory that
six o'clock dinners were best for
health, and said the idea of heavy
meals at noon was against the action
of nature. During the next lecture
she made Dutch corn pudding with
apricots, hominy croquettes and meat

It is decorated In colors, light-blue
predominating. Among other decors-
tions are sixteen medsllions of the
children of all nations in their nation
al costumes: Indian, japanese, Dutch,
French, Spanish children of every
cline.
The first floor contains the creche,
large, airy, cheerful room, where one
hundred children can be cared for at
time, while their mothers are out sight
seeing. The assembly room Is also
upon this floor, and this is, perhaps,
where more interest will center than
in any other part of the house. 1t is
furnished with chairs, like any audi
ence room, except that the seats are of
several different sizes There is
platform from which will be given to
the older boys and girls stereopticon
lectures about foreign countries, their
languages, manners and customs, and
important facts connected with their
history. These facts will be told by
experienced teachers and kindergart-
ners, who will then take groups of
children to see exhibits from the coun-
tries about which they have just heard.
In the assembly room there will also
be dramatic, literary and musical en-
tertainments carefully adapted TO suit
the intelligence of varying ages. Dis
finguished people who are visiting the
exposition viii be asked TO give famil-
lar talks about their special lines of
work Authors, artists, musicians and
scientists will be called upon to min
lister to the happiness of the fortunate
little people.
On the second floor kindergarten and
kitchen garden departments will be in
full operation for the benefit of moth
ers and others interested in the best
methods of instructing children Here
will be also the cooking school from
the Drexel institute in Philadelphia
The Ramona school for Indians is to

for deaf mutes, where the interesting
