AR Anti-Rolling Ship.

"Hodgett's safety ship" which has
just been patented in England, is in
act the tendency of ships to roll. The
idea of the bottom of the vessel is taken
from the wings of the albatross, whose
graceful and easy motion while poised
in the air is so much admired. Instead
of adopting the ordinary form of bot
tom it is proposed to build the ship with
two concave curves springing from a
central keel.
AFTER your pigs are killed it pays to
take up the floors of the pens and en-
gage in rat killing. Rats are found
under nearly all pig pens, as they lind
all such locations safe from intrusion,
with plenty of feed within reach.

TAXATION IN ITALY.
Government Takes Nearly One
Third of the Peoples Earnings
Low Wages and High Prices Keep tho
Working Glasses In Perpetual State
of Poverty-Financial Mis-
management.

The cities of Italy, the communes
and the provinces are threatened with
political extinction as well as with
financial ruin, says an italian CORE
spondent of the New York Independent.
In Naples the city treasury is not only
empty, but there is u deficit in the
municipal revenue this year of 100000
or more. Rome is also in a bad way
financially, and SO are Florence, Genoa,
Milan, Turin, and other cities OF the
peninsula. In some of the cities build
ing spectators have been driven to such
desperate straits that the national gov
eminent has been forced to advance
them money in order TO prevent whole
sake bankruptcy and rum. As result
of all this the people are burdened with
enormous taxes and debts. 1t may be
doubted whether any modern nation is
so heavily pressed as Italy. 1t would
be an easy matter for the people to re-
cover their losses were it not for the
immense burdens laid upon them by the
national government. All kinds of To-
cal improvements, sanitary as well as
others, are at q standstill because the
people cannot pay the costs. Some idea
Of the burdens which the people OF
Italy are enduring may be gathered
from brief glance at o few of the most
important taxes.
Income from landed estates pays a
tax Of 43 per cent. for national and local
purposes; rent on houses pays "a per
cent; the earnings of merchants are
taxed IL cent? on the dollar. All in
comes above $3.50 pay one-seventh of the
amount to the government. A school
teacher receiving 5000 a year has to pay
tax Of about SGT. Cab drivers and
railway employees also endure enormous
burdens To make all this worse the
government imposes heavy duty on
nearly all the necessaries of life There
is a tax on imports and there is tax on
exports 1t would look as if man
were taxed for being taxed. The duty
on sugar makes that important article
of food costs from Is to 20 cents pound.
Tea costs from 80 cents to 81, coffee
from 40 to 60 cents, according to quality.
Bread is very dear, as there is duty of
20 per cent. on imported wheat. The
people pay, either directly on indirectly,
nearly one-third Of all their earnings to
the government. Hundreds and thou
sands OF formers have been ruined by
the intolerablc burdens OF taxation.
One would imagine that. il taxes Ia
the cost OF living were SO high, wages
would be correspondingly high, but just
the opposite is true. Farm laborers get
but 20 cents day on an average. Ar
tisans receive from so to 40 cents a day
and arc not regularly employed at that
The wages of women are so small as tt
mako man blush to name them. In the
rice fields Of northern Italy women wad'
to their knees twelve hours ut stretcl
for 10 cents. The straw plaiters Of fic
sole, Prato and Leghorn make from 8 &c
10 cents day. Their poor fingers fly
like spindles from early dawn till late
at night. Skilled labor is better paid
but 81 day is considered good pay.
few workers in stone and marble
bronze and silver, make from 50 to g.
per day.
