One of the most prevalent is in-

Certainly, people can. become' lutes

can mix ingredients almost as clan

to themselves alone, must there not
be woe, woe to those who have made
the uneelfishuess of others seem

of self forgotfulnose as madness.

What Dynamite is Like.
It may be a matter of news to
some of our readers that the much
talked about dynamite explosive, is
in appearance much like moist
brown sugar. Nitro•glyceriue, which
is formed by tho action of nitric acid
upon glycerine, at a low temper-
ature, explains Golden Days, is the
active agent in dynamite; but is
mixed with some abaorbeut sub
stance to render it safer to handle
than the liquid glycerine. The ab•
sorbent material thus used ea a
siliceous earth—it fine white powder
composed of the remains of infue-
oris, and resembling powdered
chalk. This takes up two or throe
110:[9 its weight of the nitro-glyci•r
rue without becoming pasty, and the
ingredients are easily mixed, leaden
veieels and wooden spoous being
used to avoid deugerode friction.

Where self -worship is the all•ab-
sorbing topic in home, boys goner
ally overbearing and selfish, girls
heartless and selfish, till we are
sometimes led to ory out, "Man's
inhumanity to man make oouotleee
thousands morn." Some times we
see young vices go under such eu•
phonioue names, cinch as innocent
thoughtlessness, sweet petulance,
airy scorn and spunk, which is too
often hasty temper, conceit and re-
venge leading on the yielding to
the impulse of the moment, in-
stead of allowing reason and coin
mon sense bo assert its rights or de -
mane atteution to duty or the rights
of others, who most likely have feel-
ings equally sensitive. Hardened
natures sometimes speak of the
softness of those around them, when
they do not allow themselves to dis
corn between kind words and actions
and mental weakness and moral
softness, and quite forget their own
very prominent faults.
