Book Notices.

Arthur's Home Magazine for January and
February has just been received. By an
oversight in the Office of publication the
two first numbers of the present volume
were overlooked. The domestic scenes and
pictures of real life painted by T. s. Arthur,
have always been admired and favorite
reading in the home circle. Price of single
copy for one year, $3.50. Address, T. s.
Arthur & Sons, Philadelphia
Once Month.--This is the title of new
magazine by T. S. Arthur & Sons, the first
number of which was issued in January of
the present year. We have two numbers
together on our table, and by originality of
design, size and "make up" promises to
make its way to speedy success. The first
number opens with story written for the
Magazine, entitled, The Mills of Tuxbury.
The story is continued in the February
number. The story is by one of our
most popular writers, the publishers state.
The majority of the articles are taken from
English periodicals. and are of course Sc
lections from the choicest English literature
of the day. The price of this neat little
publication is $500 year, for single copy.
The Childrens Hour is neat little mag
azine by the same publishers, especially
designed for children, as its title implies
The name Of T. S. Arthur as editor is a
sufficient guarantee of the excellence of the
Magazine. The numbers before us are
filed with pleasant stories well calculated
to interest children and create taste for
reading in the youthful mind. Every
parent and guardian who has the care of
children should have The Chi1aren's Hour

Use of Breecll.lOaders Abroad.

In the North German army the infantry
Of the line and the guard are all armed
wi til needle guns. of which there is also
sufficient supply for the reserve and for the
garrsions. The arming of the whole of
the landwelr with converted needle-guns
was also decided upon last June. OF the
South German troops, those of Hesse, Ba-
den, and VI itrtemlurg are all armed with
the needle-gun, while Bavaria only began
a few months ago to supply the Werner
gun to her army. Austria had armed 300,-
900 men with converted Wanzl last July
The whole of the French army may be re-
garded as being supplied with the Chase
pot since last spring. In Belgium the AL
bini gun was to be in the handr of every
soldier in the line by the LIST of October
In Italy thirty-two battalions of bersaglieri
were armed last July with rifle similar to
the Prussian needle-gun, with slight modi-
fcations. The English army has, since the
beginning of the year, carried the Snider.
The arming of the Danish army with the
Remington rifle is also complete and Rus
STA makes the greate.t efforts to hasten the
supply to her troops of Carlen needle-guns.
Of the other States, Holland, Sweden, Rou-
mania, and Servia have only just intro
duced breech-loaders into their respective
armies, while in Turkey, Spain, and Port
ugal the soldiers still carry the old musket.

Home POliteness.

Should an acquaintance tread on your
dress-your best, your very best-and by
accident tear it, how profuse you are with
your "never minds-don't think of i'll
don't think of it Il don't care at ALL" If
a husband does it he gets frown, ifa child
it is chastised.
All! these are little things, say you
They tell nightly on the heart, let us as
sure you, little as they are.
A gentleman stops at friends house,
and finds it in confusion. "He don't see
anything to apologize for; never thinks of
such matters; everything is all right; cold
supper, cold room, crying children; per-
fectly comfortable"
He goes home; his wife has been taking
care of the sick ones, and worked her life
almost out. ''Don't see why things can't
be kept in better order; there never was
such cross children before" Noapologies
excet away from home.
Why not be polite at home? Why not use
freely the golden coin of courtesy? How
sweet they sound, those little words, "tbank
YOU" or you are very kind" Doubly, yes,
trebly sweet from the lips we love, when
heart smiles make the eye sparkle with the
clear light of affection
Be polite to your children. Do you expect
them 60 be mindful of your welfare, to grow
glad at your approach. to bound away to
your pleasure before your request is half
spoken? Then, with all your dignity and
authority mingle politeness. Give it niche
in your household temple. Only then will
you have the true secret of sending out into
the world really finished gentlemen and ladies.
Again we say unto all, be polite.

The Various Uses of Glass.
BY J. T. TRowBRIDGE.

When we consider the many uses to which
glass is applied, its cheapness, its purity, It's
beauty, we find that it possesses the valuable
qualities of nearly all the metals incorrupt-
ible as gold, clear as silver. useful as iron,
what would our houses be without it? 1t
keeps the cold out, it let's the light in. We
drink out of it, and we see ourselves in it
Besides fulfilling thousand common AMI
domestic uses, ii is made into gems that rival
the brilliancy of the diamond, and into lenses
which give new realms to human vision. 1t
restores eyesight TO the aged, and remedies
nifes objects invisible to the naked eye, SO
that they can be distinctly seen and studied /;
and it brings the heavens near. To it we
owe our intimate acquaintance with the stars.
The telescope is the father of modern astron-
omy, and the soul of the telescope is glass.
