FATE OF TIE JUNE BUGS.


Awful Puui::hmeat That Was De-
creed By an Ancient Council.
"i:rrne hts al official collector of
June bugs" writes Il correspondent of
tie Chicago News from Switzerland.
This parsonage is appointed by the
city cgu3cil when the triennial pest of
June bugs occurs, and he is empow
cred 10 destroy all the insects that may
he brought to him. Each owner of
small estate is obliged TO gather five
cuunds Of bugs. and those who happen
20 he the proprietorS of larger pieces
81 property must collect proportion
ftcly more. For each pound that is
missing from this obligatory amount
tine Of 10 cents is imposed, but if more
than the required quota is forthcom-
ing u premium of > cents pound Is
paid This remuneration Is offered
also to others besides the property
owners \ landholder who entirely
nc@lects TO gather any bugs at all is
subject to Il 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.
In times of old, the ancient chroni-
Clcrs tell us, it was the custom to at
tempt to rid the country of these I'M
welcome visitors by citing them into
court and by banishing them from the
country. but the willy insects failed to
obey the summons anS continued to
fly about in the face of the law laying
eggs promiScuously and contrary to
CGict. In Il certain village it was de-
terEined to make Il 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 Il huge sack. Deliberation was held
as to the fate of these hard backed
prisoners Ordinary death was consid-
cred too light punishment for such
Offenders. \ hideous end must he
theirs. =
~ procession of the inhabitants of
tie village. advisers and councillors,
wise men and children, wended its way
slowly toward the place of execution,
the summit of n 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
prccipice. The bugs were to be igno-
miniously dashed to pieces on the
rocks thousands of feet below. The
cXecutioner 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 amazemcnt of all, spread their
wings and flew away"

Along with dyspepsia comes nervous

cause diSordered stomach does not per-
nit the food to be properly digested, and
its products asSmiated by the system.
The blood is charged with poisonS which
come from this diSordcred digestion, and
in turn the nerves are not fed on good,

They Are an Aid In Diagnosis of Dis
eases md Traits.
1t is said that the moon at tie base
of the nail Is simply an indication of
good health and excellent circulation,
while the white spots are always the
accompaniment of an impaired merry
Gus system. The common idea that an
external application Of vaseline will
cure the white spots is erroneous, and
those afflicted with the little STORY
tellcrS" would far better turn their at
tention To securing perfect physical
health in the assurance that the spots
will disappear with improved circula-
ton.
1t is not possible to create moons al
the base Of the nails. Frequently the
moon is there. but through negligence
it is covered by skin, which without
attention will grow upward over the
base of the nail.
1t is not generally understood that
the shape and appearance OF the finger
nails are carefully considered and form
an important factor in the dia gnosis Of
disease. Long nails are said to Indicate
physical weakness and tendency to
lung trouble. and this tendency is ag-
gravated where the nails are corrugat-
ed and yet more aggravated if they
curve from the top back to the finger
and across. Where the nails are long
and BLUSH they Indicate bad circula-
ton. This same type of nail, but
shorter, denotes tendency to throat af-
lection, bronchitis and the like.
Short, small nails indicate heart dis
ease Where they are short, fiat and
sunken you may look for nervous dis
orders The short nailed woman will
criticise her friends and her foes, but
she will criticise herself with the same
severity. She is apt to be sarcastic
and sometimes so quick at repartee
that she appears almost brutal. The
best dramatic and literary critics pos
sess this type of nail.
