FAMILY JARS.
How Reuben and I Came to Have
Our First Falling Out.

Reuben and / had been in our own
little home only a month. We had
come from our wedding trip to the
'little nest" as we called it, that had
been made ready during our absence,
by the loving thoughfulness of those
who were anxious to see their chill
dren well-started, without what Aunt
Patience called the clearinghouse
risk. We we're going through the
rooms together, full of delighted sur
prise at sight of all the attractive and
comfortable articles OF furniture, and
Reuben was whispering of the great
happiness in store for us in the new
home, when suddenly was flashed
across my mind the words of Aunt
Patience, whispered to me on my mar
riage evening, after l had put on my
travelling garments. We were walk
ing hand.in-hand, when l said, under
my breath: "Reuben, wonder what
Aunt Patience could have been think
ing of when she said to me at the last:
BE careful, Annie, OF first word that
may lead to falling out, as if there
could possibly DO a falling out between
us!' Reuben tightened his clasp OF
my hand, and whispered in reply:
LAS if there could, indeed, my dear!'
Now l think of it. l believe that if
had been as lovingly watchful as my
husband, there could not have hap
penedwhat did happen.
The housekeeping worked along very
smoothly, said so to my mother, who
came to spend week with us after We
had been married a month, and she
answered.: Eyes, my dear, every thing
is new now, all the trouble comes wher
things begin to seem old; you have {
new house. new furnishing, new ant
competent girl in the kitchen. ant

grow old, then comes the trial of love

but, mother" ! answered, "if
thought that our love could ever grow
old, should wish to die before thai
happened"
II know, my DEAR" she replied
"but it takes watchfulness to keep /
youthful and fresh, so many make ;
mistake here and imagine that it vii
take care of itself, and they becom,
careless in trying to take care of it."
But love that you have got u

is desirable. it seems to me. mother
Ours is the kind that will take care o

Nothing more was said between u
upon the subject; but l told Reuben
about the conversation, and We laughe,
together at mothers fears.

CLEANING GLASS.
Tho Most Convenient and Safest Liquids
That Can he Used.


That Can he Used.
The finest kinds Of glass. including
plate glass for windows as we'll as that
used for tableware, are comparatively
soft and easily scratched. French mir
rors and other highly polished glass
surfaces are often dimmed and
scratched by the use OF harsh cloths
and newspapers in combination with
polishing and cleaning powders and
soaps especially recommended for
glass cleaning.
Both potash and soda attack glass
and are capable Of removing or greatly
injuring the polish. Even common
soap and water dim the surface per-
ceptibly after frequent applications.
Photographers have long known that If
glass is soaked in potash or soda water
to remove the dirt. the surfaces will be
greatly injured and that the glass can
not be made chemically clean.
For windows, mirrors, glassware
and polished glass generally, it is best
not to use soap in cleaning, and to en-
ploy only the softest and finest Of
cloths. Polishing powders, polishing
soaps and in fact any thing harder
than prepared chalk should not be
tolerated. A polish once given,
whether the substance be glass or
metal, can not, as rule. be improved
by any ordinary rubbing. For bottles
or other articles where the appear
ance is of no consequence, pearline or
soap may be used in combination with
sand, etc.
Strong solutions Of soap, potash
and soda are often recommended. One
author goes so far as to suggest n.y.
droAuoric acid, greatly diluted. This
acid eats the glass and il most danger
GUS to handle, as it not only attacks
animal and vegetable matter with
great violence, but produces dangerous
sores, which are difficult to heal. 1t
is one of the most powerful Of the
acids, and can only be kept in rubber
or zylonite bottles.
| For fine glassware, mirrors, etc.
alcohol and water is probably the most
convenient and safest liquid that can
be used. No polishing powder to be
found in the market is fine enough to
improve or preserve the polish of the
better kinds of glass. In some cases a
little acetic acid or lemon juice may
be added with advantage. Upon win
dows, whiting or prepared chalk il
frequently recommended, but the pol
ish obtained in this way is inferior te
that given in manufacture.
In cleaning common glassware lit
tie attention need be paid to the
preservation of the surface. Thil
glass, because Of it's hardness, is less
easily injured than the finer kinds
1t is, therefore, possible to use the
more powerful agents safely. For I

NEW YORK. Jan. 11.-Special Treasury
Agent Holohan returned to-day from Wash

report on the alleged Irregularities In the ap-
praiser's Office in this city. Mr.. Holohan's
report explains the cause Of appraiser Ne
Mullen's removal. Customs Examiner
Hamill and Assistant Appraiser SturKis are
held directly responsible for the existence OF
evils in their departments. Two weeks ago
two shipments Of Sumatra tobacco including
225 bales. passed by the assistant appraiser
and examiner at $4,000 ad valorem. They
were seized and 1t was found that they
should have been appraised at $4,000. Dur
ing the past year, six million pounds Of this
tobacco have been imported. Assuming that
half million pounds Of Sumatra tobacco
imported during the year was so undervalued
the government would lose 81 10000. In
yestigation will doubtless fix the guilt Of un-
dervaluation upon some particular persons.

In an interview last night, Mr.. Stearns

A Rising In the DonInions Of the

ZANZIBAR, Jan. 11.-Adyices have been
received from the interior Of Africa that In
October last the King Of Uganda plotted TO
destroy his entire body guard, his intention
being to abandon them on an island In Lake
Nyanza, where they would starve to death.
The guards, who had been forewarned Of
the Kings intentions, refused to enter the
canoes which were to convey them to the
island. but returned to the capital and made
an attack on the royal palace. The King
fled to escape the fury of the guards, and his
brother, KiSewa, was enthroned in his
stead.
Kiwewa appointed Christians to the prin-
clpal offices. This enraged the Arabs, who
murdered many of the Christian officials
and replaced them with M0Lammedans. The
Arabs burned the English and French mis-
sion stations, and killed many of the con-
verts to Christianity and missionaries.

WEAVER AGAINST THE HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-When the House
assembled today, Mr.. Weaver Of Iowa at
once began tlibusterlng. The first count was

tion was held at the Speakers desk. parti-
cipated in by the Speaker and Messrs. RAN
dali, Mills, Dockery, McCreary and Me-
Shane. As result, after the count had pro-
ceeded half an hour without a quorum, Mr..
Randall demanded the yeas and nays, and
