The origin of the famous association of
the Miscri ordia, in Florence, is singular.
About five centuries ago, when Floren-
tines were busy with the wooden trade,
many porters used to gather on the
l'iazza di San Giovanni 1t seems that
cursing and swearing were as familiar
to those old porters as to the modern
ones.
One day a poor porter, Lucas Borsi,
trying to reform his swearing companions,
proposed that they should pay a fine for
every oath, tie money to be put into IA
box, and that with this money litter
should be bought TO carry poor people
fallen in the streets to their homes or to
the hospital The portcrs liked the idea,
and in time their association spread all
over the city. The little compagnia grew
in numbers and in power, many wealthy
men leaving large legacies to it, Now it
owns large amount OF real estate and
no man of mark passing through Flor
ence declines to register his name among
the brothers, if possible, such is the
honor attached to its member nip.
