FATE OF THE JUNE BUGS.
Awful Punishment That Was De-
creed by an Ancient Council,

creed by an Ancient Council.
"Bernc has an official collector of
June bugs" writes a correspondent of
the Chicago News from Switzerland.
"This parsonage Is appointed by the
city council when the triennial pest Of
June bugs occurs, and he is empOw-
cred to destroy all the insects that may
be brought to him. Each owner of a
small estate is obliged to gather FIVE
pounds of bugs, and those who happen
TO be the prOprietors Of larger pieces
Of property must collect proportion
ately more. For each pound that is
missing from this obligatory amount a
fine Of 10 cents is imposed, but If more
than the required quota is forthcom-
ing premium of cents pound Is
paid. This remuneration Is offered
also to others besides the lproperty
owners. A landholder who entirely
neglects to gather any bugs at all is
subject to a fine Of from So to $40.
School children receive permission to
enter large estates, where they shake
the trees and poke long sticks about in
their endeavors to dislodge as many
bugs as possible.
I'm times Of old, the ancient chroni-
clers tell us, it was the custom to at
tempt to rid the country of these IN
welcome visitors by citing them into
court and by banishing them from the
country, but the willy insects failed to
obey the summons and continued to
fly about In the face of the law, laying
eggs promiscuously and contrary to
edict. In a certain village it was de-
termined to make terrible and last
ing example of all the insects found
within its borders. With considerable
expenditure Of time and patience guam
titles of bugs were collected and placed
in a huge sack. DeliberatiOn was held
as to the fate of these hard backed
prisoners. Ordinary death was consd-
cred too light a punishment for such
offenders. A hideous end must be
theirs.
"a procession Of the inhabitants Of
the village, advisers and councillors,
wise men and children, wended its way
slowly toward the place Of execution,
the summit of d high peak. This was
labOriously climbed, an eXecutioner
with the bag of buzzing bugs in the
lead With due regard for the respon-
sibility and business of their act, the
wise men approached the edge of the
precipice. The bugs were to be igno-
miniously dashed to pieces on the
rocks thousands of feet below. The
executioner hung over the crag, the
bag, top downward, was opened and
the bugs shaken out to their death.
But instead Of falling like so many
Jumps of lead, as they ought to have
done on such an occasion, the bugs, to
the amaZement of all, spread their
wings and flew away"

show that each year there Ss q
marked increase in the number Of
persons who become insane by the
time the straw berry season is well
under way.
