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

Awful Punishment That Was De-
creed by an Ancient Council.
"Berne 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 ferthcem-
ing premium of 2 cents q pound is
paid. This remuneration is offered
also to others besides the property
owners. A landholder who entirely
neglects to gather any bugs at all Is
subject to a fine of from S. 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 un-
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 q certain village It was de-
termined to make q terrible and last
ing example Of all the insects found
within it's borders. With considerable
expenditure Of time and patience quan'
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 consid
cred too light punishment for sucn
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 a high peak. This was
laboriously climbed, an executionel
with the bag of buzzing bugs in the
lead. With due regard for the respon
sibility and justness Of their act, thu
wise men approached the edge OF thu
precipice. The bugs were to be igno
miniously dashed to pieces on TN
rocks thousands Of feet below. Tht
executioner hung over the crag, thu
bag, top downward, was opened ant
the bugs shaken out to their death
But instead Of falling like 80 many
Jumps Of lead, as they ought to have
done on such an occasion, the bugs, Il
the amazement Of all, spread theh
wings and few away"
