Montour American. _ FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., June 1J !W7. PENSION BILL VETOED BY GOVSBNOR He Sets Out Reasons lor Not AllixiDg His Signature to the Bill. Governor Stuart Tuesday vetoed the bill pensioning soldiers of the civil war who served in Pennsylvania regi ments and are now residing in the State. The ciiief reasons for vetoing the bill are that it is crude in form and bears evidence of having been passed without mature deliberation, and if it were to become a law it would be necessary to reduce the ap propriations to the State's public and private charities. The bill appropriated §5,832,325 for the payment of the proposed pensions for the five quarters payable on the first days of April, July and October y(>B, and of January and April, 1000. The schedule of pension allowance was as follows: For soldiers who served less than one year, $o a month ; for those who ,-erved more than a year and less than 'wo, ST.SO: for men who served more than two years, .$lO. The bill originated in the senate and was passed in that bod}' upon the as surance of its author, Mr. Cochran, of Lycoming, that it would require only $1,000,000 a year to pay the proposed pensions. The house raised the ap propriation to nearly Sti,ooo,ooo. The governor suggests that the first con clusion reached in an attempt to esti mate the probable expense authorized by the bill was clearly erronous. Dur ing the reconsideration of the bill by the senate, after it had been amended in the house, it was stated that the beneficiaries of its provisions would ask the executive to reduce the ap propriation to $2,000,000. Governor Stuart says : "I yield to ao man in my gratitude, admiration and loyalty to those who so valiantly served the nation in its hour of need but the appropriations already made by the legislature,exceed the revenues ot the State by many millions, and will net permit me to approve this bill without reducing, eveu more mat erially than X have already been ob liged to do the appropriations to the educational institutions; to the hos pitals for the sick and injured, poor consumptives and the indigent insane, and to the various charitable institu tions of tl«e prate, which appropria ticns.long before the peusicn bill was even introduced,l promised the people of Pennsylvania would be made as liberally as the revenues of the state would permit. For these reasons 'he bill is not approved. ' NEWS ITEMS FROM "BOUND THE STATE Reports conn- from York couucy fcnat he crop of spring insects will be very short on account of the cold weather.

Novelists write a lot of nonsense tibout the extreme suffering that ac companies starvation. It is all poppy cock. says Dillon Wallace hi the Out ing Magaziue. Any healthy person, with a normal appetite, fitter missing two or three meals Is as hungry as lie ever gets. After awhile there is a eense of weakness that grows on one, and this Increases with the days. Then there comes a desire for a great deal of sleep, a sort of lassitude that Is not unpleasant, and this desire becomes more pronounced as the weakness grows. The end is always in sleep. Miss, Mrs. and Mistress. "Miss" Is ati abbreviation of "nils tress," which, as an English law dic tionary explains. Is the proper style of the wife of an esquire or a gentleman. By l»r. Johnson's time It had become 'the term of honor to a young girl." In the earliest part of the eighteenth century, however, it was used respect fully of girls below the age of ten alone. After that age "miss" was rude, implying giddiness of behavior. In Smollett's writings an unmarried woman of mature years and lier maid are both "Mrs." It Is certain that "miss" has grown older, so to speak, while "master" has become confined to bova The Farming Profession. "Farming is as muoh a profession as law or medicine. It is both a scieuce and an art. The more a farmer knows of farming and allied sciences the bet ter he can apply the knowledge to ev ery day work. Some of the greatest Americans have been planters and farmers. George Washington loved his estate at Mt. Vernon aud took deep interest in all the labors of that vast plantation. Lincoln hegau life as a farmer, aud always loved the life of field aud meadow, woodland and prai rie. There are United States senators I who enjoy the life of stock raisers. The profession of farming is bound to grow in popularity. The extension, of j electric lines into the country, the tele- j phone,the rural mail delivery. the im- i proved roadway, will all serve to in- j dnce city folk to take to farming ou a ! scale large or small."—Louisville) Herald. The truth of this statement is shown by the increase in the value of fauns throughout Pennsylvania aud especi- ; ally near the large cities. Those farms j touched by the trolley lines running out of Philadelphia have been trans- ! formed into combinations of summer homes, farms and truck patches. The care and expense with which they are | laid out and kept adds to their value. ! Trolley lines militate in their own ! good way against the congestion in 1 cities. Every year more and more per sons are lured into the suburbs because of the convenience of the lines. It, is cheaper for the citizen in the long run and it is pleasauter aud healthier. Most persons who move to the sub rubs beign to plant vegetables when they have the garden space. Encourag ed by their success they frequently take farms and increase the demand for tillable soil. Farms can hardly de cline in price. Conditions tend to in ; crease their value everywhere. Education and Prisons. Pennsylvania has a population of ' six mil ions aud a half, aud the last legislature appropriated $15,000,000 for its public schools--this covers a period of two years. This of course is ony a small part of the cost of our public schools the main part of which comes from the municipalities, town ships, eti. The Russian empire has a population of 143,000.000 and last year spent only f12,000,000 for new and old schools and the'pay of teachers of the vast country from the Baltic to the China Sea. During last year Russia spent $20,000,000 to build new prisons. That is Russia s trouble. It is oppres sion. tyranny, violence aud curbing the aspirations and uplifting of the people. A standing army of a million and yet the empire is trubulent and murder, assassination, riots, and busi ness paralysis prevails. 350,000 troops in Poland, yet raids on factories and railway trains arc of frequent cocur reuee. No attempt is made by the gov ernment. to conciliate, to educate, and u; ' ift the people. Autocracy and hrul alitv with poverty for the great hulk of the people have wrought terrible conditions. Th New York Times says the Rus sian darkness seems to he as deep as ever aad just now the outlook of the satisfactory compromise through the saving agency of the duima, which not long ago seemed hepeful, is again most discouraging. The wonder is that such app:uliug conditions can con tinue so loug. Yet very well informed observers are of the opinion that years of disorer and riotiug among the peo pie and blind and futile attempts at repression on the part of the govern ment may ensue before day will dawn in Russia. An Anecdote of Shelley. The poet Shelley tells an arousing story of the influence that language "hard to bo understood" exercises on the vulgar mind. Walking near Covent Gurden, London, he accidentally Jos tled against an Irish navvy, who, being In a quarrelsome mood, seemed In clined to attack the poet A crowd of ragged sympathizers began to gather, when Shelley, calmly facing them, de liberately pronounced: "I hnve put my hand into the ham per I have looked on the sacred bar ley. 1 have eaten out of the drum. I have drunk und am well pleased. I have said 'Knox Oinpnx,' and it Is fin ished." The effect was magical. The aston- ! islied Irishman fell back. His friends began to question him. "What bar ley''" "Where's the hamper?" "What have you been drinking?" and Shelley walked away unmolested. A Day's Journey. "A day's journey," as tlio expression Is used in the Scripture, means from ten to twenty miles. The "Sabbath day's Journey," frequently mentioned in the Bible, was 2,000 paces, or about three-quarters of a mile. The Jews were forbidden to travel farther than this distance on their Sabbath, but of- j ten evaded the prohibition by taking : a small quantity of food and burying it In the ground at the required dis tance from their homes, whereby this spot became technically a habitation, and they could proceed from it another Sabbath day's Journey on their waj. ! The Habit of Kissing. In some sections of the planet, travel ers tell us, the kissing habit is un known. It is difficult for the average American to credit such a statement. The mother who fondles her babe, the i extremely young person who is deeply in love with the matchless lady, the married couple who have not ceased to be lovers, all these and divers oth ers think it an amazing thing that there are babies aud more or less charming girls and good wives in the world who have never experienced the peculiar sensation accompanying a kiss. Here the kissing habit is wide spread and there is little reason to suppose that it is in danger of going out of fashion. It is true that stern-faced scientists have been telling us for mauv years that infection lurks in the kiss. They exhort mothers aud lovers and otliors to resort to some less dangerous method of manifesting their affection They are becoming increasingly urgent with the flight of the years aud with the discovery of new forms of bacilli that delight to lay in wait for the human race. They tell us that tuberculosis and various other deadly diseases are communicated by the kiss aud they are at the present moment earnestly engaged in the effort to organize Anti- Kissing leagues in all sections of the world. They are in deadly earnest. The Morning News admits that there is a large measure of truth in the de clarations of the scientists. It holds with them that danger lurks in the kiss. It has observed the reluctance with which children submit to the salutes of some growu-un persons aud it supeets that relcutauce is the re sult of nature's warning signal to the young whom it seeks to protect aud preserve. It holds that those who are troubled by dangerous or infectious diseases should be compelled to forego the ocsulatory salute. That much it will concede. But the News is not yet willing to join the league that would ostracise the salute so dear to millions of the ! human race. It is not prepare to ex i hort the mother to refrain from kiss ing the child of her love. It would he far trom exhorting the wife or the husband to give over this charming evidence of continued affection for each other as they advance in years and approach the goal of human life. Audit is sure the young persons who are mutually attracted toward each : other and with whose hearts the god j of love plays such tender pranks, would scoff at such cold-blooded advice. The scientists are right. There iB danger in the average kiss. But it is likely that human nature is going to be too strong for the scientists and that a fashion which probably came into the world when Adam looked up on the first woman and pronounced her good to look upon will not vanish. Flag Day. Friday, June 14th, will be flag day in the United States, that day being the one hundred thirtith anniversary of the birth of the Americaii flag The original fiag was designed for a colony of thirteen states and waved over less than three millions of people. The stars and stripes are now honored by nearly ninety millions of people and ; is respected in all parts of the world. : In honor of the emblem of liberty ev ery citizen should hang out a flag on : Friday, June 14. The observance of fiag day was con ceived for the purpose of preventing the people of this country from for getting that it was the flag which was revered by their ancestors and which cheered many brave men onto victory ; in the wars which have occurred since : the nation was born in 1776. Children should be taught to honor the Hag and i understand what it means to the true j patriot. School children should be invited to aid in bedecking the home with flags and in order that they may grow up with reverence in their hearts for the flag which now so proudly floats over a united country. Flag day should be observed in this city by a lavish display of the stars and stripes. A Problem la Life. They had met In the subway and In the Interval of passing a few statlora had fallen to talking of a lovely, wo man friend who had died. "How did she die? Do you know?" he asked. "She nursed a little niece through an infectious disease, then took It herself and died of It." said she. "A strange Providence!" he mused sadly.

Council also decided to pave the square on the north side of Market \ street, around the fountain. The tax 1 rate was fixed the same as laßt year, 9 mills for built up,6 mills for suburban and mills for farm. Methods to keep the paved streets clean were discussed and it was deoid ed to employ a person for one month to beep the a'reets clean.

Not only are all the crops backward j this year, but cherries, which usual ly are beginning to make their appear ance in market by this time, are still at some distance iu the back ground. As to cherries several farmers in i market yesterday were authority for tho statement that of the early variety, especially, there are practically none in sight. The late crop also,according to these gentlemen,in Montour county will be practically a failure. Strawberries are very backward. The crop will not be a heavy one. but no one from the country has yet come | in with the crushing news that straw berries will bo wholly a failure. Climatic conditions have been uni- I forml.v so unfavorable this spring that j town peoplo some how are prepared for discouraging news concerning the crops. A short ride into the country reveals a moßt discouraging aspect of affairs. The grass, which is nowhere very thick upon tne ground, has attained a height of only a few inches, while the wheat, which in three weeks' time should be ready for harvest, is only forming I heads. Undoubtedly all the crops will be several weeks late this summer and farmers are looking forward to the novel experience of harvesting wheat late iu July aud of making hay at al most anytime after harvest. The hay , crop, it is generally believed, will be , short, but it is said to be a little too early to venture a prediction as to wheat A Monument to Her Oath, lu the market place of Devizes, a towu in Wiltshire, England, there stands a monument erected by public subscription a.s a warning to fit butters and irreverent persona, to commemo rate the tragic death of a woman who, according to the inscription cm the •tone, was stricken dead as a punish ment for her blasphemy.

THE PIANOFORTE. A Direct Descendant of the Clavichord and Harpaichord. The pianoforte was directly evolved from the clavichord and the harpsi chord. In 1711 Sciplone Muffei gave a detailed account of the first four in struments, which were built by Barto lommeo ('ristofori, named by him pi anoforte, and exhibited hi 1700. Marion In France exhibited harpsi chords, with hammer action, in 1710, and Sehroter In Germany claimed to have Invented the pianoforte lietwoen 1717 and 1721.

"Now, doctor, do you think j I'm going to keep my audiences wait ing six hours for me to stiffen?" Many people eat altogether too much salt. The result is that the skin and kidneys are excessively taxed to set rid of the salt, and both are injured by It. Few people have healthy skins, and it Is believed that many cases of derangement of the kidneys are due to the salt habit. Winsdc: Hotel JI tb Sij . i n Filbert St Philadelphia, Pa.

Rats Are an Expensive Pest. rat story to make the stoutest heart quake is told in a special report by the Biological Survey of the De partment of Agriculture. It says that the rat is the worst pest civilized mar has to deal with. That it oats at least $100,000,000 worth of grain on the farms of the United States every year, and causes tires by gnawing the in sulation off electrio wires that caueei loss of $15,000,000 annually. All the damages are exclusive o these caused by eating up silks, gna ing through water and gas pipes thing* like that. The purpose of survey in putting out the scary sto. to call attention to a farmer's bull that will soon be issued by Stcr Wilson, telling how to destroy voracious rodent, which has ma< record of destroying three v elephants owned bv Carl Hage* aud of carrying bubonic plagne one port to another, The survey estimates that it fifty cents a year to feed a i grain, that it destroys more tha eats, and as a matter of fact does . confine its diet to the comparative inctxpeugivo It is calculated that, if a farmer sup ports one rat for every cow, sheep, horse aud pig owned by him. the cost to the United States for feeding rat> is at least $100,000,000 a year. The world has been fighting rats for several centuries, but there has beet no appreciable diminution in their number. Their prolificness is the chief obstacle to their extermination. If three litters of ten each are produc ed every year, a single pair, breeding without check and without, losses by death, In three years would be repre sented by ten generations aud would number 20,155,302 individuals. The eleventh seneration. due at the ead ol the fourth year, would number over one hundred million. Rats are not animals They camo from Europe.
