some opposition had arisen because he

MASKS
ARE WORN IN
THIS SOCIETY
Italy Has StrangeSt Brother
hood in W0rId-The
MiSeriCordia.

In the STREETS OF LeEhorn, Italy,
may frequently be seen a procession
of a dozen men. clothed from head to
toe in black. their face concealed by
black calico masks falling to the
waist, with two narrow openings for
tho eyes, and surrounded by black,
broad-brimmcd hats. Black gloves
and girdle and u rosary Of black
beads complete the funeral equip
ment.
Wit hdowncast eyes, what appears
like coffin borne on the shoulders
of four of them. and preceded by a
man carrying a large silver Crucitt&'
they march quickly past with rev.
erent mien and in the utmost silence.
If. in their progress, the procession
lists pass u church they raise their
hats; If they encounter n priest they
put down their burden and fall Oh
their knees to receive his blessing.
For -Four Centuries.
This spectacle has been familiar
in Tuscany for four centuries, The
black CARRIED, baCk-velled men are
simply engaged in work OF mercy
the carrying OF the dead to their
graves and of the Injured or sick to
the hospitals. They arc members OF
the great MisericordIa Society, n
brotherhood of pity, who give their
services Of the good work and wear
their masks to hide their Identity
from curious eyes.
Four centuries ago, says Pearson's
Magazine, the society was founded at
Florence, where It's Headquarters
are; and throughout Tuscany 1t has
today no fever than seventy
branches. In Leghorn alone it has
5000 members probably one out OF
every five of the adult male popula'
ton: and every member gives his
services gladly and gratuitously.
At the stroke Of the soClety's bic
bell-one stroke for case Of sick
ness, two for an accident, three fol-
a death-the members flock quickly
and silently to headquarters and
from the flrst-comers the senior
brother chooses the, number he re-
ouires. When his staff is marghalod
he exclaims in loud voice in Latin,
Let US proceed in peace" to which
the response comes, I'm the namo of
tho Lord Amen"
Steps Out BrIslsly.
The gatos are then thrown open'
and with coffin or ambulance, in
black robes and masks, the procession
steps out briskly on its particular
GRAND of mercy, returning to head
quarters when the errand is per-
formed, to be dismissed after signing
their names and engaging in prayer
together.
The society also distributes bread
to the poor and provides small dow
ries for girls who would otherwise
lack them. Every member, too, must
be skilled in ambulance work; and
when required must be prepared ia
sit up night after night with the sick,
to whom, however, he is forbidden
to speak a word.
There is no reward for the work
except q medal of bronze or silver
for those who are most dlligent in
attendance and the right Of burial in
special cemetery.
