Reoraanlzed Mormon Church.

Not all of us know that there is a re-
organized Mormon church, at whose head
is the son of Prophet Joseph Smith, who
was killed by a mob at Carthage. Ill, in
1874. This President Smith is visiting the
congregations of his faith in the North
west, and was recently at Seattle, Wash.
In appearance he resembles his cousin,
Joseph F. Smith Of Salt Lake city, presi-
dent OF the regular Mormon church. 1t
is to the credit Of President Smith of the
recognized church Of Jesus Christ OF the
Latter Day Saints, that he broke away
because of his adherence of the practice
Of polygamy Against this he has preach
ed and talked since 1853 He has been
the head of his branch since 1860, and,
with his followers, is strongly opposed
to the proposed action OF the regular
Mormons in erecting a monument at the
birthplace of Joseph Smith, near Sharon,
in Windsor county VT. The reorganized
Smiths hold that the founder never favor
ed or countenanced polygamy, and that
the erection of the stone upon the prop
erty which the directors have recently
bought would identify him with that
false doctrine.-TSpringfield Republican.

Sanitary Lessons from Japan.

In surgical technique or in the treat
ment Of the wounded and sick, the Jap
anese have taught the foreigner COM
paratively little, but in the field OF sanitary
science and dietetics they have demon
strated as has never been done before
that preventable diseases are preventable
and that the grim specter which fingers
in every barracks, tent, and bivouac, and
which in the great wars of history has
been responsible for eighty out Of every
one hundred recorded deaths, can be con-
trolled. They have demonstrated that
the great incubus of an army in the field
the presence Of crowded hospitals, and the
large and expensive impedimenta neces-
sary to equip and conduct them, can to
large extent be eliminated. They have
preserved their armies for the legitimate
purposes for which armies are enlisted
the killing and conquering of an open
enemy in the field. instead of having
four-fifths of its mortality victims Of the
silent foe. 1t is against this dreadful
scourge, this needless sacrifice, that the
japanese have made their hardest fight
and won their most signal Victories
victories that will rebound more to their
credit than the expulsion of the Musco-
vite aggressor.-tFrom Lessons for

have been periods of dependency when
the general asked himself whether he
had not been foolish I'm risking his estate
in sacrificing his comforts and in thrusting
his neck into the shadow of the gallows,
when treachery, enmity and disunion
arose all around him in his own army
After making sacrifices such as few of
his countrymen had made he was daily
loaded with unjust reproaches, he was
quite likely TO be dismissed from his COM
mand and he might die by the halter.
His furious temper, that temper so often

But the sad winter came to an end, and
the new year brought the French alliance.
The hero who bore the winter at Valley
Forge lived to capture Yorktown, and to
deal the last great blow of the war It
is pleasant to shut ones ears to John
Adams's nonsense and Conway's muir
murs. and to listen to the manly words Of
greeting that long years afterwards
sounded from India. CORVALLIS never for
got the sterling courtesy of his conqueror
and one Of the most soldierlike messages
that ever crossed the sea was his hearty
wish that Washington might find the
evening Of life calm and pleasant The
man who could endure Valley Forge with
out weakness was the man who could take
Yorktown without vanity
Let us ask ourselves whether, after all,
we have not cracked too many Jokes at
the expense of Weems The stories
Weems tells may be false or even ridic-

person. When the great judge and the
mighty Federalist, John Marshall wished
to set forth his view of the origin of our
government he deemed II wise to write
the life of George Washington. The
first great writer of our country found it
labor of love to write the life of our first
President Marshall and Irving paved
the way for others, and now, II we count
