Weaving Rabbits Wool.

Yesterday l drove to St. lnnocents
to SEQ the Angora rabbits, whose fur
furnishes soft and spinnable wool,
out of which the peasants make q
quantity of warm garments. 1t was
curious to see the peasant girl take the
rabbit fur in her fingers, and then adj
ding it to her thread, go on spinning
the coarse yarn out of it on q long
spinning wheel. We then went in to
see the rabbits; pretty creatures with
large opal eyes and very long fur, ex.
ceedingly soft. They are 'plucked"
alive. and the process is said not to
hurt them. Indeed, they are so fluffy
that perhaps it is a relief. Some were
black, others white, and others gray.
l noticed no other colors. This fur is
not only spun, but is crocheted and
knitted into a coarse canvas. The
finished goods are very expensive, and
l did not think them equal to wooden
articles of corresponding grades.
They are curious, and all visitors to
AK feel bound to carry away some lit
Ito specimen or other of this rather
anomalous rabbit work. Cor. Boston

The Names OF Nations.

These are derived principally from
some peculiar cause or object. For in.
stance, Ireland which Julius Caesar
first called Hibernia-is kind of mod
ification of Erin, or the country of the
West.
Scotland from Scotia. tribe which
originally came from Ireland. 1t was
anciently called Caledonia, which
means mountainous country-forests
and lands.
Portugal the ancient Lusitania, was
so named from town on the river
Douro. called Gale, opposite to which
the inhabitants built city called Porto
or Oporto. And when the country was
recovered from the Moors the -inhabit-
ants combined the words and called it

Spain, the ancient Iberia, from the
river Iberius or Hispania, from the
Phenecian Spaniga, which signifies
Astounding with rabbits, which animals
are very numerous in that country
hence Spain.
France, from the Franks, people Of
Germany who conquered that country.
Its ancient name was Celia, Gaul or
Gallia- Barcchata, the latter signifying
striped breeches which were worn by
the natives.
Switzerland, the ancient Helvetia,
was so named by the Austrians, who
called the inhabitants of these noun
famous countries Schweitzers.
Italy received its present name from
q renowned Prince named Italus. 1t

locality.
Holland, the ancient Batavi, war;

Sweden and Norway were anciently

The native term Norway or the north

T.,nt,on OF nebt..

The complete success OF the radical changes
which have been made in our system Of tax
alton should embolden our legislature to take
one step more in the line of this progress
No person should be taxed for his debts. NO
property having been once assessed and put
in the list for taxation should, at the same
time. be again assessed and taxed against an-
other individual. This is double taxation
the one great absurdity that still remains in
our assessment laws. bill was introduced
in the legislature early in the session seeking
to remedy this abuse by exomptng from tax
alton the creditor, the mortgage OF real es-
tate instead of his debtor, the mortgagor
Though this way of avoiding double taxation
had quite strong support the bill was re-
ported adversely and killed as 1t deserved
Another bill introduced by Representative
Douglass of Whiting deserves better fate
To a large class of farmers in this state it is
the most important measure before the legis-
lature 1t provides for the exemption from
taxation of mortgaged real estate to the
amount due on the mortgage. The mort.
gagged property is put in the list in the town
where it is situated, to the names Of both
mortgagor and MORTGAGE. If the latter pays
the tax he can deduct it from the interest due
the mortgage, and the bill makes it usury
for the holder of the mortgage to refuse the
deduction but he can have exemption from
his personal property in his own town, to
the amount which he has allowed the mort
gagor in the town where the property is sit
uated
Should this measure, or some other of like
intent, become law, we believe that only
simple justice would be done to the debtor
class, of whom the larger number in this
state are farmers struggling, frequently
against fate, to support their families and
free themselves from the incubus of the
mortgage. There is no good reason for ex-
empting personal property for debts, and not
real estate. This measure provides for the
taxation of all real estate, or rather no real
estate would be exempt from taxation in con-
sequence of it but the real owner, to the ex.
tent of his interest, would pay the taxa tax
just equal in amount to what he ia now liable
to pay for the sum loaned on the mortgage
Therefore the mortgage would be liable to
taxation for nothing more than he is taxed
for now, and the debtor would be relieved.
The practical difficulties in the way of ex-
empting all bona fde debts from taxation
against the debtor will disappear whenever
there is will enough to find a way. The prac-
tcabilty of the inventory law, with its iron
clad oath, and of the corporation tax law,
were no less questioned before they became
laws
