Thought from niagara.

John Jacob Astor, at a dinner in
Philadelphia, talked about Niagara.
Every one who goes to Niagara,
he said, hears some absurd, ridic-
ulous and inapt remark there. You
stand and gaze at the falls, profoundly
moved. unspeakably impressed, and
than, all of sudden. something fatuous
is said, and the effect of all that gran
deur is dissipated forever
'Who, since the falls were discov-
cred, has been allowed in peace to
drink in their superb beauty? Not /
for one.
"The day l first saw Niagara man
touched my arm as | looked up at
those white waters. I turned to the
man. He had the silly and vacuous
smile of the confirmed joker.
1T seems a shame he said, 'tC
see all this going to waste
What are you?' said I. An elec.
trical engineer"
No he answered A milkman.'

one was of comparatively high rank
He had, in the collection of the taxes,
made the fatal mistake of trying to
cheat the king as well as the com
mons. But as the preparations Went
on for the dispatch of the fourth and
last, an uneasy feeling spread about
among the throng. Although few
knew accurately his crime or even
name, yet many felt him entitled tc
their sympathy because he was not a
noble whom they could admire for his
magnificence and hate for his selfish
arrogance, but one of themselves, a
man of the people, who for some un-
known cause had incurred the dis
pleasure of the king or one of his
creatures.
On the outskirts of the crowd, not
far from the cart on which the re-
naming unfortunate sat, stood small
group of spectators conversing in tones
so low that the nearby soldiers could
not hear them.
What think you, friend Picon," !"
said a muscular fish-wife to a swarthy
butcher fresh from the neighboring
shambles, has it come about that Nj.
lie Ministre Colbert can arrest, con-
denim, and behead whom he pleases?"
The man addressed scowled at the
armed men guarding the prisoner. and
muttered: Devil take them!" Then
turning, he replied in a low cultural
voice. "They say yon fellow is no
criminal, but has been bounded to the
galleys and the Bastille, and from the
Bastille to the block by the hate of
my Lord Colbert"
While this conversation had been
going on and the condemned man was
being helped down from the cart, the
suns brightness gradually lessened,
and more than one spectator involun-
tarily looked up to see what cloud OBJ
scured the light. But there was moth
ing visible in the clear sky. Yet little
by little did the noon-time brilliancy
fade away, as though the eternal fires

After-Effects from Grip and Learns
Value of a Blood Remedy.
The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired di-
gestion and over-sensitive nerves-a
condition that makes the system an easy
prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheuma-
tism. nervous prostration- and even con-
sumption.
The story told by scores Of victims of
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the
base Of the skull; another was left tired,
faint and in every way wretched from
anemia or scantiness OF blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous and
couldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and
acute neuralgia. In every case relief
was sought in vain until the great blood
builder and nerve-tonic, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and
thoroughness Of action nothing is known
that will approach it.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes statement that
supports this claim. She says:

fore I had fully recovered, rheumatism

months. was in a badly rundown
state. Soon after it began was SO lame
for q week that could hardly walk. 1t

I had to give up completely and for
three weeks was obliged to keep my

bend them, and my hands were perfectly
helpless. Then the pains began to

alarmed me.

the time I had finished the first box.

There was good need of Tonti's sur
prise, Tor the suddenness of the ap-
partition, its means of entrance. to-
gether with the grotesqueness of facial
expression visible, were all calculated
to startle even the bravast of soldiers.
The figure was that of a man a little
over five feet in height, whose age
might have been anywhere between
30 and 45, clad in the black clothes
that only condemned wear on their
way to execution. His features were
small and sharp, with a look of min
sled cunning and resoluteness. In
places the skin was disfigured with
the marks of smallpox that in some
lights seemed to extend themselves
over the entire face. The scars above
and below the eyes were so plentiful
that in their healing they had appar-
emily drawn down the lower and
raised the upper lids, so as 10 present

ticed il, and craned their necks TO
catch glimpse of the cause of the
sudden change. They too, seeing no
cloud, became uneasy, until their fear
spread through the crowd, making it
surge to and fro A few of the women

angry" some one said. This man
must be innocent" another shouted
Through it all the soldiers never
faltered, but went steadily on with the
preparations for the final execution.
The prisoner had started up the hui
man lane towards the scaffold. Half
way to his destination, he was halted
while the lines of sodiery who had
been driven together by the pressure
of the multitude forced the people
back. No one but the soldiers watched
the prisoner, who, after a glance at
the darkening sky, smiled grimly then
watched keenly the turn of events.
The light did not increase, but be-
came more and more obscure, and that
nameleSs terror which often seizes a
great multitude and forces them to
attempt to flee manifested itself. Only
one more terrifying element was need
ed to change the assembly into a
panlc-stricken, stampeding mob. Nor
was this wanting, for the wall of
building that was being dismantled on
one side of the square, now occupied
by clinging crowd of spectators, sud
denly fell with a crash and a great
cloud of dust.
During the confusion, the prisoner
with an eye alert for any opportunity
to escape, was partly torn, partly
lodged away from his captors, and
was soon lost in the tumult. AS he
was borne along, he passed hercu-
lean butcher and fish-wife struggling
in the jam. The latter, with a smile
OF satisfaction, ran the keen edge of a
small knife over the cords that bound
the fugitive's hands, and he was free.

The Cuban house of representatives has passed a bill for the liquidation of the entire remaining half of the revolu- tionary soldiers pay by means of issu- ing bonds of various denominations di- rect to the veterans or to their assign ees, the bonds to draw per cent. inter- est until paiG. The bill devotes the en- tire treasury surplus, which is at pres lent about $13,OO0,OOO, toward the pay- ment of these claims, less $6,000,00 which will be devoted to public works, and also devotes to the same purpose the surplus realized from the original loan of $35,00O,OOO and the surplus from stamp taxation,.- which was levied to pay off the said loan. The balance of the money needed to pay off the propos- ed soldiers bonds will be raised by an- nual appropriations made by congress, the bonds to be retired being selected by the drawing of lots.

 Located in the yard in front of S127 Thompson Avenue is large walnn+ tree whose verdure has become bonev- comped by tree pests that abound by the thousands and give the limbs and small branches the appearance of hav- ing passed through the ravages of a severe storm. From the large li,nhs small branches hang limp and dead and bear testimony to the destructive nuaIi- ties of their enemies.
 Above and underneath leaves which stlll retain the life of verdure the da- stroyers are industriously at worl, vI+b their sharp teeth, perforating inc leaves just as might be expected from person piercing them with the points of sharp pins, while over every linh thls army of destruction crawls. eivine. the branches the appearance of beino, lluttered by breeze. The deception is tiie uhceasing moving and wriggling of the pests which have the forms of caterpillars, only of different color than the ordinary caterpillars usually seen on shade trees.
 These caterpillars have a dark brow,, body, and have white stripes running rom head to tail. They work in platoons, and it does not take them very long to destroy the life giving ef- tects Of the leaves and small branches. students in bugology have been at- tracted to this new species of pests, and thus far name has not been proposed for them.

{ that attacked the shade trees in Kansas
 City 20 years ago." observed an old
 man, who watched the destruction
 wrought on this tree. Twenty years
 ago." continued the patriarch, nearly
 every shade tree in the city was pune
 tured and killed by the army worm,
 and if my recollection serves me right
 this pest is of the same species, or near
 enough like it, Spraying does not
 seem to have any effect on them, it least did not when we tried it 20 years
 ago, and the only way we could clean | them out was with gasolene burning | torches"
 These pests hibernate by laying their eggs in the crotch of tree trunks and small limbs, It is of fiimsy origin l and has the appearance of a cobweb
 that has been exposed to dust and ! grime. In this labyrinth eggs are de- posted, and in the course of a few ! days produce thousands of these de- structive caterpillars. Near by the | walnut tree in which these destroyers
 are holding high carnival, are trees of
 the elm variety, but they appear to be immune from this variety of pest.
 But another species equally dangerous has found its way to the elms. al l though they are not as ferocious as those in the walnut.
 Shade trees throughout the entire city are more or less being attacked
 by pests, and the city forestry depart ! ment is expending much energy to master the situation. City Forester Thompson has a tree sprayer, opera ted by a gasolene engine in service, and has been spraying from three to four hundred trees a day. He believes that he is slowly but surely elimina-, ting the more dangerous and destruc- tive of the pests, but he says that they breed and accumulate faster than he can eradicate them, and to save the trees 1t may be necessary for the
 board of public works to establish an additional spraying outfit. In the meantime MT. Thompson warns prop
 erty owners to keep sharp lookout on
 the trees, and when they find that the
 pests are bothersome and destructive,

 to the emergency. Young trees set
 out within the last two years by the
 thousand, and at considerable cost to
 property owners, have been unmerci- fully attacked, and in many localities

 Granted and Several Denied.
 Considerable business was transact ed at the regular monthly meeting of the board of health yesterday after noon. The session started at four o'clock and it was after six o'clock be- fore it was finished. The annual elec- tion of officers was held and Dr. James S. Maher was reelected president and all fhe other officers and standing committees were also reelected.
 The complaint of Major Edward M. Clark, owner of the Washington build ing, against the sausage factory of Simon J. Hugo, at 12O Crown street, was first taken up. Mr. Clark and his attorney, Edwin S. Thomas, were both present. They stated to the board that the smell from the plant was ob- jectionable. They also stated that the chimney of the plant was too short and that it was therefore ineffective in carrying off the smoke and that this blew into the windows of the Washington building.
 ExTown Clerk Frederick H. Bret hauer appeared in the interest of MT. Hugo. He stated that it was not the wish of his clients to have their man. ufacturing objectionable and that they were willing to do anything possible to remedy any alleged nuisance. The board voted to visit the place in a body in the near future, after which they will act on the matter.
 There were g. number of complaints received by the board; on account of the non-collection of garbage about the city, and in a number of instances the board fined the contractors from one dollar to five dollars.
 The board received six applications from people desirous of keeping chick ems. Five of these were granted. The petition which was refused was that of Mrs. Mayhan at 66 Liberty street Three of her neighbors signiffed their willingness to have the petition grant ed, while three of them objected to 1t. Inspector O'Donnell visited the place and then recommended to the board that the petitioner be given leave to withdraw. This recommendation was adopted.
 Petitions were received from Mr Blakeslee at 53O George street and the St. Francis Orphan asylum to be al- lowed to keep cows, and both these petitions were granted.
 A number of minor complaints con- cerning closets, etc., were received and acted upon, after which the board ad- journed.
