tuition and Its Aims.

A Celebrated Italian Literary InHtt-
tuition and Its 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 Perugia,
the Academia degli Scossi. or the
Academy Of the Well Shaken. The
device Of the earlier society was a
sieve, and its motto III piu bel for ne
coglie" Ut collects the finest -FOUR.
The principal object Of the Bran
society, the Academia della Crusca,
was the publication Of the Italian
language, in order to effect which, in
the spirit of pedantry common to the
age. it relntroduced many obsolete
words which had been replaced by
more effective derivative forms or
foreign adaptations.
Its greatest work was the Nocabu-
lario della Crusca. the Vocabulary of
the Bran, published in 1913. The
whole tone Of this work was archaic
It affected to regard the fourteenth
century as the Augustan age OF
Italian literature and endeavored to
make the standard of that period q
standard for all time. The Academia
della Crusca is now Incorporated with
two older societies, the. Apatici, or I'm
partials, and the Florentine academy

American League Played to

Not only have the American and Ma

The American League carried off the
banner crowds drawing a grand total
