No doubt it is more important, on
the whole, that reformers should be
strenuous than that they should be
reasonable, and sometimes the reason
ableness itself comes with time. In re-
gard to the position of woman there is
certainly more of appeal to principles
and less lavish prediction of results
than was the case few years ago, and
this is clear gain. 1t is perhaps for
tunate that we have had constant OBJ
ject lessons as to the dangers of too
sweeping prediction. Thus it is justly
claimed that the influence of women
makes naturally for peace, yet in
those parts of the country where pri-
vate feuds prevail most freely il is adj
mitted that the influence Of women
rather tends TO keep them up, through
the pride taken by sisters and wives in
the courage shown in these contests.
The admission of women TO business
affairs promotes honesty, on the whole,
yet there have been few cheating en-
terprises in our day SO ingenious. so
persistent and so successful as the so
1t is claimed, with some justice, in re
gard to coeducational colleges, that
their influence improves TO some ex-
tent the morals and manners of the
young men, yet there have been few
outbreaks OF disorder more question
able than have taken place latterly at
Cornell and Wesleyan, both coeduca-
tional universities. Wendell Phillips
used to point with justIpride to the gen
eral elevation in the tone of literature
since women began to take a promi-
nent part in it; but at the present
time, in England and America, it is
women, not men, whose publishers try
to exc out the claims of their books by
limiting that they are little indecent
What does all this show2 Not that
temperance, manual industry, and So
cial reform are unimportant things,
and surely not that the world is to be
harmed by elevating the condition and
influence of women; but it shows that
we must be careful about prophecy,
and must rest all claims for reform on
wide principles, without dwelling too
much on details. We can really see
but little way ahead in regard to the
results of any great reform. 1t may
turn out much profounder in its re-
suits than we had imagined, and yet
the precise results we expected may
not come, or not in the expected form.
Human nature is large matter with
which we deal. Reform must proceed
along many lines before it accom-
plishes its whole work. There are
some principles-as, for instance, the
right of a man to own himself-which
appear as simple as that two and two
make four; but even in applying these
it is safer not to be too precise as to
our prediction of consequences, but to
bear in mind the sage counsel of Mrs.
Camp, Seek not to proticipate. 1T.

Running Down and Staying Big Old
Grizzly with Hand Sled.
Three of us had camp on the west
ern slope of the Bitter Root noun
tains. Idaho. and one afternoon !
took the hand sled and went up the
trail to bring down a deer Kennedy
had shot There was plenty of snow
on the ground, with crust hard
enough to bear up horse, and | had
no trouble in reaching the spot where
the carcass hung. The last 100 feet of
the way was a passage not over ten
feet wide, between high walls, and the
pitch was about the same as an ordi-
nary house roof. ti4 iSA
As there was no danger from the
Indians, and as expected to have my
hands full with the sled, did not
take my rifle. We hadn't sighted a
bear for four weeks, and worked
away getting the deer fast on the rude
but stout sled without the slightest
uneasiness. | was about ready TO
start when l heard ''woofl" above
me, and 1 looked up to see big griz
Ely standing on sort of shelf about
seventy-fve feet up the mountain. He

With the yOunO corn

Cutworms are playing the mischief
with the young corn.
They say it is wonderful sight to
see the carp in the river at the &C.
ment Mill below town. Dozens of
immense fellows can be seen there at
any time sporting in the water. They
won't bite at anything you may put
on hook.
Trapper Warfeld, Hunter Nose,
Dick Lucas and five other men and
six dogs killed big blacksnake at the
Antietam Cement Works few days
ago, though half days time was lost
in doing it. 1t measured six feet in
length after it was killed, but the
men claim that the dogs chewed up
fully six feet of it that wasn't measur-

A woodman's Nerve.

The average woodman has a first
class, able bodied nerve, as any one
who has witnessed camp accidents will
attest. Physicians who attend the boys
who have been hurt by rolling logs or
falling trees will also bear cheerful
testimony to the nerve they exhibit in
undergoing operations, often attended
with the loss of some valued member
of the human anatomy. An instance
of nerve has come to the notice of The
Courier that is worthy of record.
Elisha Lathrop of Bozrah, Conn, is
the proud possessor of a real, genuine
nerve; in fact, he would be pleased to
hear of any man who has more of it.
In hauling logs in the forest the other
day large log was thrown from the
sleigh and it fell on his leg, breaking
it below the knee. So heavy was the
stick that Mr.. Lathrop's men had to

Ono of fhe Grent Poat..

William Wordsworth, the popular
English poet, was born April z, 177O.
His first poems were published in
1893, at which time he was in very
straitened circumstances, and became
a writer ON London journal, but
soon after received a legacy which af-
fordod him great relief. In 1923
Wordsworth settled at Grasmerc and
became known as one of the Lake
poets, the others being Coleridge and
Southey. In 1902 he married Mary
Hutchinson and inherited 1000 from
his father While his poems did not
pay him financially, he secured a
handsome competence from the Office
of distributor of stamps in 1880. He
succeeded Southey as poet laureate in
in 1S43. In 1S42 he was regarded as
the greatest of living English poets
and received q pension of 9300 year.
Wordsworth died April %, 1850

Disarming an Unseen Foe.

This was sometime a paradox" as Hamlet
says. Since, however. the people of America
and other lands have been enabled to pit
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters against that I'M
seen foe, Malaria, it is no longer paradox;
but an easy possibility. Wherever malaria
evolves its misty volume to poison the air,
and decaying unwholesome vegetation inn
presnates the water, there, i'll the very strong
hold of miasma, is the auxiliary potent to dis
arm the foe and assure efficient protection.
Fever and ague, bilious remittent, dumb
ague and ague cake no matter how tenacious
Iy they have fastened their clutch on the sys-
tenn, are first forced to relax their grasp and
eventually to abandon it altogether. But it is
its preventive force that should chiefly recon-
mend the Bitters to persons dwelling in ma
laria- localities, for 1t is certain buck
Ter of defence against which the enemy Is
powerless. Cures, likewise, dyspepsia, rheu-
matism, kidney and bilious ailments.
