Write, che New Explosive.

A consular report from Sweden, Is
sued by the Foreign Office, gives de-
scription of new explosive called
sebastine, which, it is said, has COM
peted most favorably with dynamite.
Sebastine appears to be an explosive
based upon nitro-glycerine, but safer TO
handle than the ordinary dynamite,
while more powerful in effect and
cheaper to purchase. The greater safety
of sebastine depends on two circum-
stances-frst, that the explosive oil is
more completely absorbed and bound by
a specially prepared kind of charcoal
and other ingredients; and, secondly,
that in ordinary cases it requires no
percussion cap to explode. As to use in
mining, It is reported that the new
sebastine is exploded simply by the
fuse, providing the bore hole is proper
ly secured by stronger wadding, az in
an ordinary charge of blasting powder.
According to official statements, there
has not been one single instance of &C
cident happening when using the new
sebastine. The Swedish Government
having ordered trials of sebastne
against dynamite, it is said to have been
proved that sebastine was far superior
in effect and about equal in force to
English gun-cotton when used in tor
pedoes. The Consul at Gothenburg
adds: GAS an explosive of great power,
and offering superior security, particu-
larry for mining and similar purposes, l
would recommend the new sebastine,
OF, more properly, its improved form,

The Massachusetts, Substitute for Cor
OnerS.

There is no longer any coroners' jury
in Massachusetts,, but inquests are held
by medical examiners and police courts
in the following manner: The law
provides for about seventy-fve Medical
Examiners to be appointed by the Gov
ernor for suitable districts over the
State, for terms of seven years. They
must be able and discreet men, learned
in medicine; they receive fee of 81 for
a "view" and $50 for ''view and
autopsy" except at Boston, where the
Examiner has a fixed salary. When a
dead body is found under suspicious
circumstances, the Medical Examiner is
sent for by the police; he takes charge
of it and thoroughly collects all the
medical evidence of the manner of
death. If he deems it to have been
caused by violence, he is required to
notify the Police Court, or Justice with
in whose district it was found, and also
the District Attorney, and to file with
the court his report. The court there
upon holds an inquest, bringing out all
the facts so far as accessible. This sys-
tenn, which is now in its fifth year, gives
general satisfaction and is not expensive

Setting Out Blackberries.

Blackberries can be set out in the fall
as well as in the spring, but always
when in n dormant state Nearly all
late planting in the spring are failures.
But if late planting is unavoidable, the
sets must be shaded and kept cOntiru-
ously moist until all danger of willing
and shriveling is over. They do best
on light soils and in sunny exposures,
With partial shade on moist, heavy
land, the canes are apt TO grow too late,
and the heavy frosts find them I'M
ripened and unable to endure the win
ter. Warm, well drained but not dry,
compost soil is the best On dry. hard
soil the fruit often either perishes be-
fore maturity, or is only bunch of
tqsteless seeds. In the preparation of
the soil, pillow deep, thoroughly loosen

The man who acts or dresses oddly
for the sake of oddity must feel himself
deficient in any quality that will arrest
public notice or challenge criticism.
But the eccentricities of the man who
forgets the keen scrutiny of the thronp
from absorption in the duties of life de-
serves respect and not ridicule. The
oddity in the multitude is often its
choicest character. As in dress or
manners, so it is in mind. Remember
what Emerson says: at is easy in the
world TO live after the worlds opinion /;
it is easy in solitude to live after your
own; but the great man is he who, in
the midst of the crowd, keeps with per-
feet sweetness the independence of soli-
