Called to the Eternal Home.
Written for the Home Journal.
Again the Death Angel visited
our town Friday morning, June
15th, at abont 6 o’clock, and bore
away the spirit of little Beaumont
Earl Ammons safely Home where
bright Angels dwell. Thongh lit
tle Earl had been in our midst only
three months, he had won the love
of all;8ucha bright, sweet, good
baby, always ready to smile at and
play with every one.
Little Earl had never been sick
until the day before his death. He
was taken ill suddenly. Dr. B.
Williams was at once called. He
did everything in medical power
that could be done, but little Earl
having heard his Heavenly Fath-
er’s call, obeyed in 6pite of all that
loviog hands aud tender hearts
could do.
He was ' one of God’s choicest
aud most precious gifts, lent to
his earthly parents for only a Bhort
while.
Oh! bow bard for father, moth
er, und litiie sister to give up their
loved one, but bereaved oues, re
member he 13 not dead, but has
only gone to cross the dark valLy
of death to meet his little brother,
Willie FrankliD, and to live for
ever and ever .with our Heavenly
Father, who kcoweth and duetb
all tLings for the best.
Fathei! inodii i ! mourn not thy
io.-t-: weep no more for thy child;
for he has goue to that bright and
happy cc-iestiai Home where be
knoweth no pain, no sorrow, nor
sickness, and is now waiting for
thy coming.
HusL! Listen! canst- thou hear
low, sofr, sweet murm-rs saying,
“We are waiting for thee; when
orir Heaveuly Father calls for thee;
meet thy Angel boys in their hap
py Home, for we waitetb thy com
ing.” Watch, for you know not
what hour he cometh.
The remains were buried Satur
day morning in the cemetery at
Houston Factory, at Andrew Chap
el:
Abundance of choice flowers
v, ere strewn, upon the little sleep
er’s bed by many loving hands.
We, many friends, extend our
heart felt sympathies to Mr. and
Mrs. J. Bp. Ammons aud bereaved
relatives in mourning their loss.

Things to Forget.
If you would increase your hap-
pinecs and prolong your life, for
get your neighbor’s faults. Forget
the slauder you have heard. For
get the temptations. Forget the
fault finding aud give a little
thought to 1 'the cause which pro
voked it. Forget the peculiarities
of your friend and ouly remember
the good thiDgs that make you
fond of him. Forget all personal
quarrels that you may have heard
by accident, aud which, if repeated,
would seem a thousand times worse
than they are. Blot out as far as
possible all the disagreeables of
life—they will come, but they will
ouly grow larger when you remem
ber them,and the constant thought
of the acts of meanness, or, worse
still, malice, will only tend to make
you more familiar with them. Ob
literate everything disagreeable
from yesterday, start out with a
clean sheet for to-day, and write
upon it for sweet memory’s sake
only those things that are lovely
and lovable.—Exchange.
L.M.Lyda of Macon county, Mis
sohii, is engaged in an experiment
in growing strawberries. He has
a barrel Ailed with rich soil except
ing a small space in the center
where there is a wooden box opeu
at both ends.' Through the staves
of he bored 100 holes with a large,
auger and in each of these he
planted a strawberry plant. The
barrel sits upon blocks off- the
ground and the plants seem to be
thriving. He expects to have each
plant average one pint of berries,

The Love of Wild Animals for Their
Young.
Current Literatue.
It is, perhaps*, rather amusing to
steal a pair of whimpering bear
cubs aud carry them off, but in one
case the travellers' who engaged in
the pastime found the grief of the
mother too real to allow them to
persist in the fun. They were a
professor and five seniors from an
Eastern college, and the scene of
their adventure was near the line
between Pennsylvania and New
York. They came upon a couple
of little cubs snuggled away in the
busb, and scarcely realizing what
they did, carried them to their boat
aud covered them with a coat. Then
they hastily pushed off aud pad-
died up stream to be farther from
the mother when she should dis
cover her loss.
The little fellows kept up a con
tinual crying, and soon a plunge
caused the travellers to look back,
and there was the old bear puffing
and floundering across in search of
her babies.
The almost human intelligence
and solicitude she displayed made
it no easy mailer to persist in the
abduction of the cubs. Pressing
on ahead of the boat a few rods,
she would plunge into the stream
and intercept it, and when evaded
aud passed, would take to tbs
bank again aud repeat the attemp
with increased cunuiug. Her ac
tion was intensely human. She
screamed aud Bcokled, wept aud
moaned, her tears flowing freely,
her lips and under jaw trembling
She hid her face in her paws, aod
then held them forth as if beseech
ing. Some of the party were for
giving up the cubs, but others held
out.
The babies whimpered iucessant
ly, aud* the mother’s demonstra
tions of grief grew more touching.
Her aDger seemed to abate, but iD
its place came more plaintive
tones. She showed no signs of
abandoning the chase.
At la9t it was decided to surren
der the cubs, and the boat was
pulled across to the bank opposite
to the old bear. There the little
ones were gently , placed on the san
dy beach, and the party hurried
back to the boat. They were none
too soon, for the instant they lifted
her babies in sight the mother
started across.
She went to the cubs, nosed
them over, searching for wounds,
and then licked their glossy fur af
fectionately, crying meanwhile,
like a human mother weeping for
joy. Then after reproaching the
travellers furiously for a minute,
she took both cubs up by the neck,
and holding them in her great jaws,
carried them off into the woods.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by iocal applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, aDd that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustach
ian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed deafness is the
result,and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition,hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, iVhich is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh ) that cannot be
cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.

There is a noticeable increase of
vegetarianism in Philadelphia. At
the corner of Park avenue and
Berks street there is a church
whose attendants are all vegetari.
ans. It is an evangelical church,
and differs in its creed from other
denominations only in the fact
that its members are pledged to
forego a diet of flesh. Outside of
any organized cult the diet ques
tion has become a matter of such
serious . consideration that there
are vegetarians who, when they
are asked out to dine or sup, carry
bread of their own baking with
them. The members of the con
gregation referred to are almost
without exception big, healthy

, Affairs in the Philippines.
Savannah News.
It is evident from our dispatch-
esfrom Manilla that the Taft Com
mission has a very difficult task to
perform. Relying upon the state
ments made by Gen. Otis, the com
mission evidently thought there
would be no great difficulty in pro
viding the Philippines with civil
government. It finds obstacles in
its way that seem almost insur
mountable.
Gen. Otis, in Rochester, New
York, is giving out interviews to
the r-ffect that the war in the Phil
ippines isover. Gen, MacArthur,
who is in a position to know the
actual situation, does not think
the war is over by any means. On
the contrary he and some of his
officers are of the opinion that it
will take years to wholly crush
the insurrection unless much more
energetic measures for putting an
endtoitare adopted. At present
an American cannot veutnre far
away from the towns which are
garrisoned Even the country in
the vicinity uf Man ilia is practical
ty in the iiands of insurgents —
that 13, it is not safe for Americans
to venture far from the city’s lim
its without a guard of soldiers.
The ’difficulty in establishing lo
cal governments for the towns and
provinces is in finding'Jrfyai natives
to fill the offices. It is admitted
that about all of the natives are
treacherous. They make promisee
and immediately break them. And
then it is about impossible to get
honest officials. It is said that
even the judges appointed by Gen.
Otis appropriate to their own use
about all of the money that comes
into their bauds. ‘With such ma
terial to work with it is easy to see
that the difficulties in the way of
establishing local governments are
enormons, and that it is by no
means certain that natives can; in
a generation, be so trained as to
make self government a success.
We have heard a good deal re
cently about the willingness of the
leading Filipinos to accept Ameri
can rule. It seems they are not
willing to do anything of the kind.
They have told the Taft Commis
sion that if permitted to manage
their own affairs they would
submit to an American j^pro--
fectorate. In other words, for free
ing them from the yoke of Spain
they are willing that we shall con
tinue to protect them agamst oth
er nations interfering in their at-
fairs. And what would we get for
the expense of protecting them?
Absolutely nothing.
It is becoming apparent that if
it is the policy of this country to
retain the Philippines the ODly
thing to be done is to deal with the
Filipinos with a much firmer hand
than we have yet. They will have
to be made to understand thatit is
our purposs to be masters. Until
that is done things will drag along
pretty much as they ate dragging
along now. And it will cost the
lives of more of our soldiers and
the lives of more Filipinos aod
more money to continue the pres
ent conservative policy than to
seud men enough to the islands at
once to bring the. insurgents to
terms and make them respect our
authority. The taking of the is
lands was a mistake. Having them
however, we .should show ourselves
masters of the situatioo or turn the
islands over to the Filipinos aud
let them manage their own affairs.

Do They Ever Die from Grief?
Our Dumb Animals.
Some one sends us an article
from the New York Herald giving
three cases iu which a horse, a dog,
and 9. can try bird died from grief
on account of tbe absence of their
friends the owners, and adds that
a hundred instances could be cited
of aDimals that have died of grief
at being separated from those they
love.
The following, which appears in
our Address to the Boston Public
Schools, shows very clearly how
sensitive even birds are:
“To show how this power of the
voice extends through the whole i
animal creation, 1 will say that I
know one of the best ladies in Mas
sachusetts, who lives within five
miles of this school house. She
had, a few years ago, a beautiful
cauary biriLwhieh she dearly lov
ed, and to which she had Dever
spoken ao unkind word in her life.
“One Sundav the-church organ
ist Was avvytt, 1 n ! she stopped af
ter ehurcjj to p ar lihju nsaii for
the Snnduy sehoiii.
In c.fWaei.ee of Mm The din
ner had to be put iff m hour, and
when site got nome ij.-r good hus
band was very hungry, and as the
giris may find tan some time, when
husbands get very hungry they
sometimes get cross; and he spoke
to her uukiudly.
“The things were put on and
they sat down in silence nt tbe ta
ble, and presently the bird began
to chirp at her as it always had to
attract her attention. To shame
her husband for having spoken so,
she turned 10 the bird, and for the
first time iu her life spoke to it in
a most violent and angry tone. Ia
less than five minutes there was a
fluttering in the cage. She sprang
to the cage—the bird was dead.
“When I was at New Orleans,
winter before last, Mrs. Hendricks,
tbe wife of the late Vice President
of the United States, came there.
And she'said that she once killed
a mocking bird iu the same way.
It.annoyed her by loud singing.
To stop it she spoke in a violent
tone, and pretended to throw some
thing at it, and within five minutes
it was dead.”
