An experiment with dynamite, saws
the Washington Critic was receatly
made by one Of the officers of the navy
yard. A quantity Of dy ynainite was con
fined on the top Of stone five feet
square and FIVE feet thick by a wooden
box one foot square and three inches

A WORD TO WoMEN.-I know that if
women wish to escape the stigma of
misunderstanding they must act and look
like marble or clay, cold, expressionless,
bloodless; for every appearance OF feel
ing of joy. sorrow. friendliness, antipa-
thy, admiration, disgust. are alike con-
strued by the world into an attempt to
seek a husband Never mind! Well
meaning women have their own con-
sciences to comfort them after all.
10 not, therefore. be too much afraid
of showing yourselves as you are, at
fectionate and good-heartcd do not too
harshly repreSs sentiments and feelings
excellent in themselves, because YOU fear
that some puppy may fancy that you are
letting them come out to fascinate him;
do not condemn yourselves to live only
by halves, because if you showed too
much amin alton some ~pragmatical thing
in breeches might take 1T into his pate
IL imagine that YOU designed to devote
your life to his inanity. Charlotte

SMALL ANNOYANCES. Some one SAID
that If we could keep a diary of the
small things which worry Us, and see
what becomes of them, we should be
greatly benefited thereby, as We should
soon discover how insignificant they are
as a rule. You allow a thing to annoy
you just as you allow a fly TO settle on
you and plague you; and you lose tenn
per. TOR rather get il for when men are
surcharged with temper they are said TO
have lost it, and Justify yourselves 70:
being thrown of your balance by causes
which you do net trace out. But If you
would see what it was that threw you off
your balance before breakfast, ami put
it down In a little book, and follow it up
and ascertain what becomes Of it, you
would see what a fool you were in the
matter. The art of forgetting is a bless
ed art, but the art ofoveriooking is quite
as important. And if we should take
time to write down the original progress
and outcome Of a few of our troubles.
it would make Us 50 ashamed of the fuss
We make over them, that We should be
glad to drop such things and bury them
at once in eternal forgetfulness. Life Is
too short to be worn out in petty worries,
frettings, hatred and vexation. Better
reserve our strength to meet the real
troubles of existence.
