nEEs IN a DRAWING ROOM.

Everybody, says Lonuon laller,
has heard about Miss Baden-Powells
bees. A nervous visitor going to the
house for the first time might, indeed.
be almost afraid to enter h draWin3
room. But it is quite unnecessary to
call on this gifted lady with u bee
net over ones head, for her curious
pets are kept safely under glass, AMI
from q safe position on the other
side one may watch the daily life OF
these fascinating insects. 1t is now
nearly thirty years since Sir Benja-
min Brodle gave Miss Baden-Powell
her first swarm of bees, and ever
since then she has been marvelously
successful with them. They live in a
beehive of plated straw, and by an
ingenious contrivance designed by
the owner when the cover is taken
off the bees are all visible at work in
the ~honeycombs.
The queen bee spends all her time
in laying eggs. During the summer
months she lays about 1000 a day,
and in twenty-one days each is a full
grown bee; their lives, however, are
of only a few months duration. When
the family increases alarmingly the
order is given to the nurses to pre-
pare more chambers. If the attend
ants report that there is an extra
story upstairs, all is well, and the
queen decides not to moye. Miss Ba-
den-Powell fortunately understands
bee language. When ! hear them
discussing whether they will swarm
j always provide them with a larger
habitation," she explains. Her ear
is sensitive to every graduation OF
their notes. In the morning they
are very busy and alert and hum
sharply, but as the hours roll on and
they become conscious of a good

AN ESCAPE FROM THE CITY.

Why will people persist in Shaving
tl.eir lives away in a dirty city, while
thousands of acres of rich agricul-
tural land are going begging, asks
Robert Franklin in the Technical
World Magazine for November, in his
article "Homesteads for the Asking"
Uncle Sam is trying hard, literally, to
give away some of the finest farming
land in the United States, but the
people refuse to see the opportunity.
Quite the most peculiar state of af-
fairs that has been known in this
country for some decades, exists at
the present time in n~orth-central Ne
vada, where, with a large and in
viting territory newly made available
for ~homesteads, there is a dearth of
settlers. Ordinarily when good lands
are offered by the government free
of charge, there is a rush for the
scene, every possible patch being
eagerly pre-empted; but in this in
stance, strangely enough, about a mil
lion acres of the finest soil in the
world, with a plentiful water supply
furnished by irrigation, are going
begging. And then he tells of S0O,-
600, 900 acres of government land
which can be had free for the asking
by those who wish to settle on the
land, own their own homes and prop
erty, and live a healthy life In the
country. But alas, the e~ntreaties of
the government are in vain, n the
working people of the cities nave
their noses so close to the milestone
that they cannot break away from
the daily grind,

RIBBON HAS IT'S DAY.
Forms Everything From Hair Fast.
pntuD tn Eutipa EporL

cning to Entire Fr0ck.
Not only has ribbon trimming the
largest share in the garniture realm,
but it is now beginning to invade the
ranks of dress materials.
Whole frocks, made entirely of
ribbon are the latest fantasy which
during the last few days bloomed
forth in the fevenish atmosphere of
activity which reigns at present. Rib
bons are used in a hundred different
ways; when they do not compose the
frock itself, they almost cover it in
the shape of stripes, or in the form
OF superposed frills, sometimes of
graduated sizes and of two different
kinds OF ribbon-velvet and taffeta or
velvet and satin.
When ribbons are used to compose
a whole gown they are disposed YER
tically, and are either sewn to one
another or Joined together by means
of some narrow insertion or open
work. Sometimes the bodice is made
of ribbons touching one another,
while the same ribbons only partially
cover the skirt, which latter is fash
Toned of some other material, wolfe,
mousseline de sole, etc, the ensem-
uie pcluS 5oou. Iohupd-
dour and Coventry ribbons make
charming little bright coats or small
boleros to wear over tea gowns. They
have a particularly good effect wher
the gown is either white or black
discretion being rendered necessary
when the ribbon coates are to be
worn over a colored material.

Protest Against the Hansbrough Bill

To the Editor of The Star:
l ask space to register a protest against
Senator Hansbrough's corporation tax BILL
proposing tax of II per cent upon the net
earnings of the street railway, electric
light, gas and telephone companies, in ad-
dition to the tax on gross receipts now
paid by them. This BILL while apparently
Intended to make these public utility cor
pCrations pay more taxes, in reality i'm
poses upon the people of the District the
burden of paying the present extortionate
prices charged by these several corpora
items for their commodities indefinitely
Fass such a bill and goodbye to the pros
pect of cheaper gas, electric light and
transportation
Now let me demonstrate. The additional
taxes which the Dill proposes to exact from
the gas company are stated to be S66, 10 I. 50
per annum. To get this sum the Senate
committee deliberately proposes to let the
company charge, apparently for all tIme
IL per thousand for gas which was Of
fered us years and years ago for rs cents
by responsible group of citizens, at the
head of which was the richest man in town
And they offered to put up s2O0.OO0 in cash
as an evidence that their offer was made
In good faith to be forfeited If they failed
to make good.
This offer sufficiently proves that 10 cents
Is just and reasonable price, and allows
fair profits. If any additional proof Is
wanted 1t Is furnished by the result of the
legislative inquiry In New York city. al
which 1t was proven tina gas could he
placed in the mains there for 80 cents per
thousand. 1t is abundantly proved also by
the occasional 100 per cent extra DIVIDENDS
of the Washington Gas Company
Here then, Is the situation in the case of
one of these corporations. It's gross re-
ceipts last year were 81, 721. 16l Is Had the
price of their commodity been the fair one
or 10 cents the people of Washington and
the United States government would have
been able TO save S430. $50 in their gas bills
CIhis, however, does not take into the ac-
count the certain large increase In the de-
mand for gas at the reduced price)
1t Is as certain death and taxes that
the Senate District committees PROPOSE
ton. While ostensibly in the interest of the
taxpayers of the District is In fact the
reverse In order to collect $685. 1877 SS per
annum from one of these corporations II
proposes to allow Ii to exact Indefinitely
S45o, go per annum from gas consumers in
excess of fair price
A Ike demonstration could be made as
to the other corpora tons.
lr conclusion, instead of this miserable
roundabout plan of fastening extortionats
prices for the commodities sold by our nun
lie utility corporations let us have reduc
lions to reasonable and Just rates ana
then, If more taxes are needed raise the
rate to ~ per cent upon all of our properly.
