ACADEMY OF BRAN.
a Celebrate ed italian Literary Irstl-
tuition AID Its Aims.

a Celebrated italian Liternry Irstl
tuition and It's Aims.
The Academy Of Bran was the most
celebrated OF italian literary acade-
mics, and its title was borrowed from
a previous literary society at 5Perugia,
the Academia degH Scossi, or the
Academy of the Well Shaken. The
device of the earlier society was a
sieve, and its motto III pin bel for ne
cogl:e' ct collects the finest hour).
The principal object of the Bran
society, the Academia della Crusca,
was the publication OF the Italian
langl1ag e, in order to effect which, in
the spirit of peClantry common to the
age. it reintroduced many obsolete
words which had been replaced by
more effective derivative forms or
foreign adaptations.
It's greatest work was the Nocabu-
lario della Cru'<&l, the Vocabulary of
the Bra:l. published in 1913. The
whole tone OF this work was archaic.
1t affected TO regard tie fourteenth
century as the AugUstan age Of
Italian literature ana enGeavored to
make tie standard OF that period 4
standard for all time. The Academia
della CruSca is now incorporated with
two Older ScccticS, the .Apatici, or I'M
partials. and tie Elorentine academy.

UNCONSCIOUS
WAS JOHN w. RARKEY, LYING ON
A BOX CAR, WHEN NO. 81
PREACHED TOWN LAST
= NIGHT.


When the first section of tram Nc
81 reached this city about 10 O'CLOCK
last night John ". Barley, a brake
man of McMechen. was found lying
on a box car in an unconscious con
dition, caused presumably by his heaG
coming IL cintact with some structure
and railroad men believe the low
bridge at Valley Falls to be the one,
as none other between this city and
Grafton could possibly strike man
standing on the Highest car.
The conductor came over the train
when the stop was made at the sta
ton and missing his front brakeman
instituted search for him. On the
top of a high box car he was found
in an unconscious condition, and i
horrible cash in the head explained
his absence from duties The anbu-
lance from the Miners Hospital was
summoned and the injured man taken
to that institution, where he is now,
with chances in his favor for recov-
cry. The strange part of the acct
dent is how his body remained on the
car instead of rolling off, as is usual
ly the case in such Instances.

unduIy Perturbed.

Goid%Tin Smith, the venerable To
ronto pub1icist who has taken an act
i've and intelligent interest in Amer
lean politics for more than half cen
fury, takes takes a pessimistic view
of present conditions in the United
States because he says. "jinsoisll
reigns with it's strenuous life, its
big stick, its staggering. boastful
aggrossiveness, its contempt of
right" He fears that expansion Will
bring about the downfall OF Ameri,
can Institutions and the creation of
an empire. 1T you have an empire,
he says, you must have an emperor
sit is difficult to see why DR.. Smith
should take this lugubrious view of
the situation unless he has accepted
as true all that has been said and
printed by the anti-imperialists, who
have been fighting a man of straw
for nearly six years. The United
States has its problems. it is true.
Some of them are fraugnt with dan
ger, and none of them can be dis
posed of offhand. But imperialism
is not one of them If DR.. Smith
had watched the trend of American
politics more closely during the last
twenty years he would have noted
tendency on the part of large num-
bers Of Americans to drift farther
away from imperialism and toward
that other form of despotism, the
strengthening of the authority and
enlargement Of the functions of the
State, the impersonal power suppos-
ed TO be the popular will embodied

once 1 rested my gun against a
tree TO taEca aim at a deer There was
an ansr' nest in that tree. AS soon
as fred file ants tumblcd out in
swarms and fell all over my guide and
myself.
I'VE were nearly stung to death
and had to tear our clothes Off and
waIlow mp 10 our necks in the mud
of nearby swamp before we could
get any relief.
Another time 1 climbed tree to
wait for mountain lions. I did not
notice that there was an ants nest in
the trunk, for the ants we're all in
doors when climbed up.
I shot mountain lion and started
to climb down, but the ants had been
disturbed by the firing and they
swarIned all around that tree trunk
By millions. had to slide over them.
and I didn't forget it for week.
