Remarkable Gathering to He

A most remarkable international
congress against swearing and profane
language will be held in Rome next
month, when representatives from al
most all the anti-profanity leagues In
the world will meet. Strangely enough,
Italy, which to-day is considered the
country where swearing is most preva-
lent. boasts an Institution against
swearing which is seven centuries old
and still fiourishes In Florence under
Its ON title of the Venerable Archcon-
fraternity of Mercy.
Toward the middle Of the thirteenth
century the Florentine porters used
to congregate to drink and gamble in
q wineshop on the Via Adimari, and
they swore so much and so loudly that
one of them, an old man named Piero
di Luca Bors. in the hope of saving
his fellow workers souls and at the
same time putting a check on their
profanity, proposed toSimpose small
fine on the swearers. His proposal was
accepted and within short time a
large sum of money was collected,
which it was decided should be used
In some work of expiation.

to the hospitals or to carry the bodies
Of those who fell dead or had been
murdered to the cemetery. And each
porter was entitled to take coin from
the coin box for every trip"
The institution still exists and It
