A NOTABLE ANNIVERSARY.

This Is the anniversary Of the mar
tyrdom OF Joseph and Hyrum Smith
the Prophet and the Patriarch Of the
Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day
Saints, They were shot to death by
mob with blaokened faces for dis"
guise on June n 1874 It had been
declared concerning those mormon
leaders Law cannot touch them but
powder and bail shall" II was fondly
hoped by their enemies that the death
of these WORTHLESS would prove the dis
solution OF the Church Tor which they
lived and died History has demon
strated the fallacy Of the notion, as II
has repeatedly when the visible head
OF the Church has departed Nor
monism' lives on ana cannot be de-
stroyed BY physical force, and It has
not been overcome by moral or spiritual
agencies The character Of the mar
tyrs has been villihed by designing per-
sons, but gradually their defamations
are losing the influence intended upon
the popular mind Az the vastness ana
grandeur Of the lat,er-day work be-
come apparent, thoughtful minds per-
ceive the folly Of attrlbutlng It to such
person as that described by anti
mormon preachers and. writer's That
Joseph Smith was one Of the greatest
men OF the nineteenth century Is com
ing to be acknowledged, and hundreds
Of thousands today know by the witness
= the Holy Ghost that he was a prophet
Of the Most High God. Hall TO his
memory, he died as a martyr honored
and blest be his ever great namel

SCANDINAVIAN IMMlGRATioN.

Students Of immigration figures have
noticed that there Is again Il great In
hux from the scandinavian countries,
For some time it WAS shown that the
newcomers to this country came chief
~ from southern Europe, and the
change In the character Of the immi-
grafton was viewed with some alarm.
Now the stream seems to be again
coming from the north, Only few
days ago a dispatch from Copenhagen
stated that twice az many Danes
started for the United States in May
this year as in May year ago and
thls is only one Indication OF this fact.
Much Of the Scandinavian immigration
goes through Copenhagen. and the in.
crease noted from the capital OF Den
mark indicates the condition all over
the scandinavian countries.
In the first 10 months OF the current
fiscal year while the total immigration
Increased SO per cent over the cores
pondlng months Of 1902, the Immgra-
ton from the scandinavian lands, Den
mark. Sweden and Norway increased
Il per cent. II the proportion Of ar.
rivals IN May and June bears the same
ratio TO the arrivals Of the preceding
10 months this year as last, the United
States will receive for the whole year
1000 Danes $4,000 NorwegIans and
SO, 300 swedes, total OF 1880.
The reason is obvious Hard times In
the old countries. and the reports Of
prosperity that are heard from this side
Of the globe, have the usual effect OF
starting an exodus for the land Of
pfomIse. Among these immigrants are
also a great many Finlanders who
have been compelled to leave their
homes, by the hand OF oppression. This
class Of emigrants are welcome Gen
orally they are the home builders this
country needs Their arrival here means
the redemption Of new ground, the
rearing Of new homes and the cores
pondlng increase Of manufacture and
trade
In 1889 these three countries sent 1867
S26 persons TO our shores, The years
1850, 1881 and 1888 were also years OF
heavy Scandinavian immigration, Az
ter that the numbers fell off some-
what, but increased In 1887 and 1855 and
again in 1892 and 1893.

THE AWFUL MICROBES,

According 10 a consular report, Ger.
man scientists have taken the pains Of
counting the number Of microbes that
live on berries and small fruit The
result Of this count is simply awful on
half pound Of huckleberries. there
Were 100000 Of these little beasts, DAM
son plums had 10000; yellow plums,
100000; pears, 100000, gooseberries. L.
100000; strawberries, 2,OO0OO raspber-
ries. 100000 grapes 100000; currants,
100000 cherries. 100000.
Whether this proportion is fixed, so
that with each half mound Of cherries
always 80 Y million microbes, or
whether there are sometimes more,
sometimes less, is not stated, so II
must DE taken for granted that the
number given IS the average, It may
be lrreyerent 10 ask how the count was
made. and scientists are sometimes i'm
patient at pointed questions but an
explanation. Of the process Of counting
would have been in order IN such an
important matter
But In order TO complete the horror
Of the strawberry and cherry season.
the New York Times reminds the pub.
he that the bacteria on the berries
are but small part Of the bin Of fare.
4 quart OF milk. our contemporary

richer IN these organisms. while sugar

And yet people wonder what ais them,

An English physician of high stand
ing recently made an address before
the Manchester and Stafford Sanitary
association in which he said:
II have spoken Of light as purifying
atmospheric environment and as
freeing US from certain superficial
parasitic distempers, and l wish to re-
mind you that it has still more deep
and intimate human relations of a
sanitary nature, for light is a necessary
condition of mental and bodily well
being. Its tonic physical effects are
everywhere recognized.
Essential for all purposes Of life,
light is a universal stimulus. Falling
on the eye it sets up in the brain func-
tional activities associated with intel
lectual and emotional states, and at
tempts have been made to discriminate
the physical effects of its different ele'
ments. Whatever the therapeutic
value Of the different rays of light
may be, white light, heavens own mix
ture, is the normal physical atmos-
phere, and variations in it's intensity
have probably widely diffused consti-
tutional effects"

A Will and Three Weddtnns.

In Warsaw a banker died and left his
entire fortune to whichever Of his
three nieces-daughters of three differ
ent brothers and sisters-married first.
The parties interested in this provision
were present when the Will was read,
Il all of them took immediate steps
to secure the prize. By procuring spe-
cial licenses and taking other unusual
measures it was found that the earliest
possible time for a wedding to take
place was at 8 O'Clock on the morni~.
of the tenth day after the will had
been read. Before noon on that day all
three nieces appeared at the notary's
office with certificates showing that
they had all become wives between 8
and S:15 O'Clock hat morning, though
not n of them had even been engaged
when the will was read. All three
claimed the fortune, and the courts
solved the difficulty by dividing it into
equal parts.

Free trade is not making the
steady and vigorous progress
which the democratic cam
paigners could wish. We're it
doing SO it would be possible for
these orators and editors to fish
out from musty pigeon holes
and dust covered shelves many
able speeches and arguments
showing the beauty of this
policy, and with a little busting
and furnishing serve them
forth in their original bril-
liancy. But free trade in this
country is defunct, or if not
absolutely dead, SO near it that
it can only rear itself and stagger
about when cloaked in the garb
of some apparently new and
fresh issue. Even in it's citadel,
the British Isles, free trade is
waging a fight for very ex-
listence.

The Genius of Labor.

Two hundred persons, waiting for a
train, intently watched an old man
driving six inch spikes with an iron
maui. Now, there is nothing unusual
or extraordinary about driving spikes
with a maui, even though the head of
a spike is only three-eighths of an inch
square and that Of the maui only three
quarters. But there was a fascina.
tlon IN this old mans work. His genius
Tor driving spikes was manifest. He
never missed a blow. He never needed
more than three blows to send a spike
home with its head buried in the
planking. He always gave three. There
was a rhythmic harmony in his task
that appealed to all. In his particular
line he eXcelled. That is the genius of
labor.-New York Press.
