A Plaque Of Locusts.

The Georgian town of Jelizawetpol, near
Tifis, has suffered a plague of loeusts almost
as bad as that which afflicted Egypt In the
days Of Moses. On the twentieth Of April the
insects invaded the town in such numbers
that the merchants had to shut up their
shops, and walking about the streets was ex-
ceedingly difficult. The Russian authorities
ordered the Inhabitants to make united
effort to kill the pests, but the generous peo-
pie refused, believing it a sin to destroy
locust until the authorities threatened to
punish every householder who failed to de-
liver daily a given weight of dead insects.
The canals were filled with locusts, SO that
water for drinking and washing could only
be obtained by straining. The houses swarmed
with the creatures, and many families went a
week without bread because their ovens were
literally filled with them. They tried in vain
to drive the locusts away by lighting holy
candles and burning incense. The Armenian
priests regarded the plague as visitation
Of God, and brought from neighboring town
the bones of Jacob, which they carried
through the streets Of the afflicted city in
procession, fairly wading through the masses
Of dead and living locusts as they marched
along with the relics of the patriarch. The
energetic measures taken by the police finally
abated the evil, but not until the gardens,
orchards and vineyards had been stripped
bare, and the people had suffered for more
than week.
